DHMB Anniversary / New layout!

DHMB is now two years old, and I thought a new look was in order... so what do we think? Thumbs up? Thumbs down? I think I have one up and one down at the moment. haha

I love the new banner (cupcaaaaake! haha - thanks again to DeanBean009!) and like this color scheme with it, but the banner isn't sitting how I'd hoped at the top. And even though I spent foreverrr uploading/inputting all these new little custom buttons/markers/etc., I think I might change some of them back to the InvisionFree default... as you may notice, it's rather difficult to tell what's been read and what hasn't with these new forum markers. Unless it's just on my screen? I can barely see the difference between the lit/unlit ones. How is it looking for you guys?

Please let me know what you think and if you encounter any issues anywhere. Thanks!

I'll just repost this here too.

Paula great job!! I noticed about banner too but it looks so great that I don't really care.. Though it's a little unusuall but I think we'll get used to it!! Color is great and thanks for effort.

And I agree about the icons it's not only your screen it's quite difficult to differentiate what's new and what's not but once again I love the color soo much that I'm trying be okay with that..)

Yeah, I'd rather not go back to the blue InvisionFree markers, but these new ones are kinda useless...

wow what a difference. I love the colour,makes the board look bright and cheerful. Banners cool aswell.

happy anniversary peeps.

becs xx

Awesome new layout! I really love the red

Happy Birthday DH|MB!

The new layout looks amazing! I love the red/grey colour scheme (:

The banner looks amazing too (:

Happy anniversary!

OMG the board looks so beautiful now! I love it!

I agree with you, Paula, the icons are kind of complicated to understand. But everything is looking so awesome that it's not such a huuuuuge deal. Maybe with a little time we'll all get used to it.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DHlMB!!!!

Yeah, definitely not a fan of the markers... maybe just that it's not what it's always been, it seems 'weird'. Like I'm not in the right place. The banner does look strange, like the very top is being cut off or something. But I guess thus kind of inoffensive, just something to get used to.


Though I'm noticing now it's not just the main markers, but the little 'folder markers' too... suppose those could be replaced too, just have to find/make something to replace them with.

Love it Paula!

Yeah, something definitely needs to be done with the markers before we all go blind/crazy trying to figure out what's new and what isn't. I might just pull these ones into PSP and make the color differences more apparent. At any rate, SOMETHING will be done ASAP. lol

And I don't know what the heck is going on with the banner placement. I guess this layout was made to accommodate a smaller banner, and I have no idea how to tweak the CSS code to fix it. Any CSS whizzes around here have any suggestions? If so, please PM me!

And thank you for all of your sweet comments!

PS: Apologies for any weirdness that may occur while I'm attempting to tweak things. I *almost* have the banner part figured out, but moving it down screws up other parts of the layout at the top. Le sigh. My CSS failure, let me show you it.

Seriously, if anyone knows CSS and thinks they can help, please contact me!

wow! I absolutely adore the new layout. It's really really cool!
You did a great job there

A few tweaks still need to be made, but glad you like!

Happy anniversary

The site looks good! I love the new banner and color scheme!
