New Look
« on: May 24, 2003, 04:25:25 AM »
And I was finally getting used to the blue background.

Shiv

Is Scott Scriver still running this site?  I don't see anything with his name on it around here any more.

I just noticed that a lot of things are operating a lot slower since the look changed, such as the user list and the private messaging system.  I imagine this is temporary, but I just thought I'd bring it up.

Well, this is different.  Did you notice that Lane#1 is not a sponsor anymore?

Hey, da Shiv, go back and edit the name of the topic to read Ballreviews.com Reloaded.

Notice that the time stamps on the the messages is off.  What time zone is this supposed to be?  Also that it no longer shows the number of users online.  Makes it feel more isolated that way.

Personally I hate the new look of the site. It looks like a high school kid designed it. A white background? C'mon here...even MS FrontPage has backgrounds to use that beat this.

The old Ballreviews logo looks much better. In fact I have it as a link on my website and think I will be removing it since it isn't the same as the site anymore.

Oh well....sometimes you get progress, other times you regress...

We dont know if this is the final look or if it is just a temporary one.  Who is in charge now?

I am neutral about the change but am surprised there was no previous mention of it.

First of all, OneEyedJack, the sales generated were not just because of the users as well as the site.  Either way, it does not negate the right to speak freely, and that is all Doug was doing.  I too think that the "plainness" of the site is lame, BUT the site will ALWAYS be awesome even if the look is not.  Since you find it odd that people like Doug (who happens to be the best guy I have dealt with, and more importantly "MY" FRIEND), then what about people like ME who agree? Also, if you stop using Doug for sales, then I am POSITIVELY SURE that his success will still be good, and I consider it immature that you would stop dealing wth him just because he said that he doe not like the "LOOK" of the site BUT still loves the site as a whole.  I believe that I can pick up the sales slack if you still decide to stop dealing with him.

I too don't care for the white site but it does make it a little easier to read some of the signatures.......... maybe a white with a bowling scene on it or a lighter blue, or maybe we just hafta put up with it cause it is Scott's site. I for one find the information here to be too good to leave because of anything....... annoying lefthanders included (joke) and I thought you had to type all that stuff in all this time........guess I need to READ instructions............

What a difference.

I can see all the posts in the dark now.  

I think all the older generation won't have as hard a time straining their eyes.

It's definitely different.  Time will tell if there will be more changes.

Maybe we should take bets on when the next big change will occur.

My guess is in the next 2 months.

Change is good.  Got to keep everyojne on their toes.

Gee, it seems that there are ALOT of "Dougs" out there who say the new color scheme.... shall we say "bites".  Okay, we will just say looks to plain!  Hey OneEyedJack, are you going to stop dealing with everyone on the site who expresses their dislike for the background color?

Before changes background color, BallReviews.com must add new balls

Things I like:
Not seeing the tournament stuff
menu bar on left side looks good
Like seeing all manufacturers rather than drop down menu
Like the logo better
Like the PBA link
And has the complete ball list always been like this?  If so I must have missed it but I really like it.

Things I do not care for:
white background -- I'm just often tired or overworked when I escape to here and would find a more soothing background better.

Purple folders?  Yellow is nice but with the purple I'm feeling like I'm looking at colored easter eggs

I wonder why OneEyedJack apparently pulled his post on this topic, either that or I have been placed on his ignored list.
