Redesign TalkGraphics!

[AntonyF]

gidgit,

Branding wise we want TalkGraphics to remain a neutral site. So neutral branding, no obvious sign of Xara, it will have non-Xara products etc.

Zee, thank you for the first entry.

As to how to present the designs... hmm. I forgot we can't do attachments. D'oh! If you can host them on your own website and link to them like Zee did (either link to an image showing the layout, the Xar file or an actual page). OR, email it to antonyf AT xara.com and I will upload it and link it in.

Thanks!

Anthony, The one thing I'd like to see on the next setup is an ability to respond directly to a specific post. Rather than down the line. Is this something that is a part of the next software?

But please not the same host! I don't visit often, but most times that I try, the site is down. Just checked that I had the right URL, ironically the first result of a Google search is a talkgraphics.com posting saying that pixelparity.org is down again

Good god - about time as well - the colours on this site and logo suck big style and I hate how slow it is as well - when is the deadline for this as I'll definitely give it a go!

[AntonyF]

Ahh, deadline. I'll say May 30, provisionally.

wW, only ubb.threads offers a threaded option as far as I'm aware, and we're not moving to it I'm afraid. It's been my experience that people rarely use the threaded option, so I think it will actually disappear with the death of ubb.threads.

PixelParity closed down in March - it is no longer running.

How can we get the drafts to you? Post them here?

[AntonyF]

Risto, I agree with muted colors. But I'd prefer to see the gray go as it's so "default". I think more white, or muted shades of a particular color would go well.

Hi Anthony,
I removed the Xara advertising references from my design, enhanced it a bit and re-linked my previous post to the new version. Good luck on getting talkgraphics migrated to new message board.
