I've been thinking... and tinkering...

Alright people... so many subdivisions already have instated their own custom images and/or colours, and we've had these default settings for a long-assed time. Many a time have people attempted to change them single-handedly, and few have succeeded. However, they most had one tragic flaw: public opposition.So for my crusade, I shall ask all you people, the public, commoners and noblemen, for your opinions!I've been tinkering and experimenting with HTML for awhile now, and I think I'm getting good enough to start using it on a larger scale than just my signature tables. EzBoard will allow boards custom CSS (Cascading Style-Sheets), which basically means we can add really cool effects to all our usertitles, post text, board layout, tables, and anything else that html tags can do.So... I've got a few things to ask of y'alls:1. What do you think about the current board colors?a. What would you change?2. What do you think about the current table layout?a. What would you change?b. Any cool effects we should add to them, like 3d, perspective, animation, images, etc?3. Howabout the text, is it the right font, colour, size?a. Should we do any cool things to our usertitles?4. Buttons: right colour, font, size, shape, images?5. Posting screen: right colours, buttons? a. Pulldown menus?b. Posticons?6. What about board navigation?a. Forum layout: should we reorganize the board? how?b. EzRing: should we have a more comprehensive ring?c. Quick links, maybe a sidebar or ticker?7. Scrollbars! I think I can change the colours and/or images of the scrollbars if I wanted to.

1. What do you think about the current board colors? They're fine, fine.a. What would you change? Not a thing.2. What do you think about the current table layout? Fine.a. What would you change? I would put "Shireroth" up at the top above the flag in font face Avalon Quest. In red. Underlined and overlined.b. Any cool effects we should add to them, like 3d, perspective, animation, images, etc? I like things simple, the way they are.3. Howabout the text, is it the right font, colour, size? Once again, fine.a. Should we do any cool things to our usertitles? No.4. Buttons: right colour, font, size, shape, images? I made some new ones, but...I need to redo the reply one5. Posting screen: right colours, buttons? isn't this the same as 4? Kinda?a. Pulldown menus? Say wha?b. Posticons? Fine.6. What about board navigation? It's fine.a. Forum layout: should we reorganize the board? how? God, just leave it alone.b. EzRing: should we have a more comprehensive ring? Put some other older nations on there for historical purposes.c. Quick links, maybe a sidebar or ticker? Ticker, maybe. I would actually be kind of interested in a side bar, never really thought about it...If you want to see my official suggestion, check out the Yardistan board pub48.ezboard.com/byardistan . -Gryphon Avocatio- Lord Governor and Duke of all Yardistan - Minister of Research and Education, Shireroth - Shirerothian Elder - SAVE THE KIWI!! - Lover of Llamas Give me your child, and by the age of five, I can make him a priest or a thief or a scholar.

oh, I forgot one more thing: custom scrollbars...the posting screen is the place where you write your posts... with CSS I believe I can change the format of the input boxes, the pulldown menus (like the ezring or the font setters), and the buttons, maybe make their colours match... nowhere else on the board is there any white...
