Skys Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Skys, I have been frequently getting on and I feel like this thought isn't taken seriously between others. I believe this site needs a little makeover visually. Forum runs great nothing bad but let us not be content or take action once halo 4 is officially launched. Why not change now for the better? We need visual improvements through the whole site. No more spartan II's or III's.....We are Spartan IV's and the site needs to adapt in that way. Maybe even make it more forerunner savvy. The request isn't impossible just take it into consideration. I visually love the site..IF..I was playing halo reach for the first time..We are past that lets move on and create a better website for our Spartan IV's If I was modding i'd pitch this idea..But I R Skys a more then friendly community forum user Agreed? Also please like or disaapprove in the comments below. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The site looks great at a reach stand point. Were moving on. There is always room for a change. And not only that but room for challenge that comes with change. Challenge accepted?

Kurt S-501 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Eh... I wouldn't mind a makeover, but i'm fine with the site as it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperIntendant Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Well, getting a professional makeover costs quite a bit of money, and given that the theme was updated less then a year ago and still looks pretty good, I would say that we can still use this theme for a good while longer. Remember, that Twam isn't made of money. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John-117 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 If everyone wants this done so bad than how about you all contribute, I am already looking on creating designs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ardent Prayer Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 Why a makeover? Twam probably spent alot of time creating this. Its fine how it is. He'll change it if he wants. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaguroth Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 What do you mean by "The site looks great at a reach stand point"? I see nothing in the site that makes me think of Reach other then the section for it... The site looks fine to me, in fact, it looks great to me.. as it always has.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azaxx Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 I completely disagree, i think the site how it is looks absolutely fine, and only needs bug changes. Whenever they pop up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sikslik7 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Share Posted July 18, 2012 updating the site would be nice, maybe have a slightly different theme. I think Spartan IV's on the top would be nice to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lᴜᴋᴇ Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Meh its a lot of work to redo this site to make it better, I already took a look at the html code on this site, it looks very well done, why change it? Clearly you haven't had much experience with forums. That isn't HTML code. That's PHP - the script behind forums. In order to change the theme, either Twam will have to find a new style, or go within this one and change all the graphics and CSS - which is a lot of work and tricky to get right. The current skin is from FinalPrestige.net, and currently I think there's no need. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baby Boo Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 Somw have said this would be hard. But that's not true. You see, all he is suggesting is a change in the title format and imaging. This is only about 3 lines of code to change, and a little work on photoshop. Agreed, skys. However, another skin on the other hand.... Is not easy. It takes, if my memory is correct, over 200 lines of code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes, if my memory is correct, over 200 lines of code. It doesn't take "Code." It takes a whole install of images, new php codes, etc, as well as making sure the current mods installed (eg shoutbox) are compatible. You don't write the code for a theme unless you're creating a whole new one. Twam didn't create this theme. As I said in my previous post, it's from finalprestige.net. For the logo, he can simply overwrite the original logo, you don't actually need to change any code, unless the size is different in which case you would have to go into the imageset config file and change two numbers.

King of Winter Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 A makeover will be nice, but how bullet said, not a whole new skin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skys Posted July 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 No fighting I just want some opinions..This site is going to be a main forum user once halo4 comes out. With a domain name like ours..we will grow fantastically Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Biggles Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 its just the site needs a bit of an update, soon, but, at the end of the day, its twam choice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCPO Mayh3m Posted July 19, 2012 Report Share Posted July 19, 2012 I like the idea of a new skin, but I do believe we need a banner update though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jestermeister Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Does the site look bad? No. Is a makover necessary? No. Would it be cool? Yes. I think the site's fine for now, still a few months till H4 comes out, and a lot of people are still playing Reach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
