Please leave me some feedback on the redesign I'm assembling, or make your own changes or fixes to it (or to any of the pages it links to, some of which still need serious work). Keep in mind that this page is still a prototype, with much more work to be done.

Well, I thought that boxes would be placed horizontally and without text links to the right side. Only boxes, all in the same gray-blue, gray-brown palette. Also, I wanted to place these pictures to the background of every main table, but they have to be much lighter to allow the text be visible. It could be 3 large boxes in a row (with x-com 1-3) and in the second row there are smaller boxes with other games. No time at all to draw this, sorry! --[[User:Ufo.mesh|ufo.mesh]] 10:33, 26 October 2010 (BST)

Taking a screen resolution of 1024x768 as a minimum (there are literally only 1-2% of folks who come here using less, and looking at the stats they're viewing on phones I reckon so the site is scaled down to fit anyway), you could safely design something that would fit in a table 816 pixels wide and it would display fine at that resolution and higher (just giving you an idea of minimum width, so each cell could be a minimum of 272 pixels wide, so your widest image in each column can be no larger than that).

I mean, it's meatier the its previous incarnation, but you get quicker access to the more interesting information.
 
 
 
My only real comment for the moment is that the site information section could be split off from the UFO table. It relates more to the site as a whole than to the UFO section in general.

Okay, I split it off, good point. 
 
 
 
I added in the other titles and made the formatting "less chunky".  I'm willing to call the redesign done at this point.  I'll leave it here for about a week before I copy it to the Main Page, barring opposition.
