Revision as of 02:12, 3 June 2006
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.

It's looking a bit chunky, but I like it.
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.

I said the proof is in the pudding... and I like it a lot! In fact I'm already using it and seeing things I hadn't noticed before. I say let's go for it.
NKF, you may be scratching your head, because I wanted less menu entries with the old main page, not more. But that was when it was one column, and space was at a premium. With so much more room, a lot can be put there... and it's great to get right to good stuff.
Sure, it will be able to use some tweaking... but more because the site is still disorganized in places. For example, Research Tips is like a lite version of Research, because it was made before Research was. Things like Grenades combined or made into a primary entry with secondaries or something.
I was going to suggest the left alignment... centering wasn't working, with the indented secondary headings.
What happened to the "Game File Analysis" section?
I say let's do it.
Do you think the current main page might be retired to an "old main page", at least for a little while. That way we can find things we know are somewhere, if we can't seem to find them with the new page. There could be a tiny link at the bottom of the new main page saying "click here to access the previous version of the main page".
THANKS for taking the time to put that together!!
