i am not graphically talented:eek: so this is my idea, you guys would have to draw it out:eek: (if you like it)

also that could be used as the sidebar on my idea of the CF homepage...


also idk about you guys but i am on CF 24/7 (almost) and i wouldn't minde CF having something like a windows CF desktop (like google desktop) or CF sidebar...:p


yes slow forums could cause ppl to stay away, but so would boring forums... (no offence anyone... i love CF)...
and more people liek apealing colors than slow computers... ok, look at the PC in my signature... that runs some of the more graphicly styled forums more than fine...

i have been to forums with images in the sig, and it opens fine... and the majority of people nowadays that would come to CF the way it is now prolly have Cable/DSL anyway! i think as technology advanced... so should internet pages (i.e. computer forum)

Your ideas are good, but only for certain types of forums I think.

.gif images take a long time to load, compared to .jpeg's and the like. That means people on slow connectiosn would have to wait longer, and it might discourage them from coming on the forums.

same with signatures. the more graphics on the page, the longer it takes to load. it's no problem for us DSL/Cable guys on fast machines. But for people on slower connections, or even faster connections with incredibly slow PC's (like me) the images and fancy graphics make the loading time crawl.

none of those ideas would be slower than using "My Computer" on windows vista... or windows xp...

oh ok, sorry, got the wrong end of the stick. and ive heard people say that about this sidebar, but it doesnt slow my PC down hardly at ll, at peak it uses 2% CPU usage, and only an average of about 6Mb memory, i think i can spare both of those

Well, here is a start:



That is the sidebar in action. Now, just trying to think of the top section, and, the actual subject here, the logo. lol :D

EDIT: Dragon, the psd should work now.

i have to agree that does look damn swish, but also damn outta place at the moment, and this has been raise several timwes before, ian does not want it changed in such a majoy way. Read the title of this topic, then look at what your suggesting.

I think that looks really good, but you would also need to change the site layout and color scheme for it to match.
