Feedback on potential new homepage needed.

Being that the custom page design I've had in mind seems to be on the backburner, I've spent some time considering alternatives and just as a test (for now anyways), I have installed a CMS that is fully integratable with the forums we have here. So, now I'm looking to get as much input on it as possible. Keep in mind that it's fully customizable with themes/styles, and that for now, it's only running a plain default style. If it's good, let me know, and if it sucks, well, feel free to let me know that as well. You can see the homepage here: Temp homepage (though keep in mind that since I've renamed the index, some links will not work correctly).

I like the new skin, it doesn't feel as cluster phobic as the current homepage.

It's much better now... looks freshly and organized!
Would be also great to have the newest posts of the board viewable.
Just my idea!

SSI forwarding. doable, though recent topics would be nicer.
Not sure if full threads can be forwarded into the mk theme/portal, rather than just the first post of news.

RE: Feedback on potential new homepage needed.

While it certainly looks better than the current front page, it still doesn't look good in my opinion. In terms of functionality it's very good with a small room to improve, though in terms of graphics and overall look it looks like something created by a 14 year old in 15 minutes. C'mon guys, I know you can do better than that. Also the page shouldn't be taking full window's space, it looks pretty bad with a very wide contents table and tiny menus on both sides. The page is too bright as well, it hurts eyes a little. The picture on the top looks as if taken from somewhere else, doesn't fit here at all. Is it also necessary for the page to be so extremely long? Cutting it into several subpages wouldn't hurt anyone Smile

Not that anyone cares of my opinion, but I thought I'd post it anyway Wink

Wow, I like it. There's only one small thing, the blue bar which says board news has a white line going through it for the theme.

Other than that the CMS and theme looks awesome.Smile

I like the functionality and the news upfront, but it's not very new-user friendly.

I like it very much but as Miretank said a new logo should be made.

I liked it before it was even posted on the forums. Tongue wink

I've been meaning to create a new logo for this site, but never found time to. I've been busy with college, and it has just taken up most of my time.

RE: Feedback on potential new homepage needed.

know who would do an excellent job on the logo? TCOS, his PS/Illustrator skills are awesome.
