Ideas to improve AO

[Bunny]

Here is an example of what i'm trying to go for....



I still need to do quite a bit to finish it up....

• Header: Create 5 examples for the header designer
• Favicons: Rework Favicons to match header
• Badges: Finish up the different types of badges, Admin, Owner, etc
• Check CSS, make sure all of the CSS looks good to transfer to the new AO.
• Rework the black theme. Just because I like it

My wishlist:
Enable CMS Tool for Automags.org. We need to build up a library of resources with the posts already made on AO.

The background behind Steve is pretty cool.

agreed, awesome work

Idea #1:


Idea #2:
Added a gradient, two tone, and changed the font to the same font as the badges i'm creating...










Ranks for AO:





Check out the template on the Dev forum....

I really like both of those banners.

We need Tunamart Factory Team badges

Not a fan of sigs or badges

Each has a purpose.

Here is my latest ideas about the ranking system. I don't think the "banned", "donor", or "member" ranks should carry over, but I made them anyway so.... :-p

I think Donor should most CERTAINLY get a badge. They're the reason we're going through this exercise and they should be recognized as such.

Any idea when we will be able to go live on the new look?

Thanks

Well, Bunny's fixing the header images now. I think the template setup itself is done, but I won't speak for Bunny - you know those creative types...

Lol. I think we are good to go! You will have to edit a few of the templates once we move all of the images over to the AO server. I can either help or walk someone else through it.

Bunny,

Email me and we will work it out.

Thanks for all your hard work!
