I think your joke is a little too intellectual (or stupid) for me. What does beethoven have to do with bananers?

But yah, anyways, the new (old) banners are nice, feels familiar, or something

Beginning of Beethoven's 5th. It's a really stupid joke.

Don't get too comfortable. Lots of change is still on the way.

Keep the feedback coming. It fuels my fuel.

Feedback:
Like something? Don't like something? We'd love to know! The more feedback, the better we can work to make this world (or at least the Sandswept Legion) a better place.

Alright then! For the record, I'm going to be completely honest here, and not intentionally harsh or rude. : )

1. What happened to all the renders, in-game screenshots, etc. on the DETOUR page? All we got now is a short summary along with some released features.

2. I think the old Nav Bar looks better. When you slide/hover your mouse pointer on GAMES, COMMUNITY, or INSIDE, it just doesn't look that good. Also, what's with the transparency on the drop-down menus? In my opinion, I thought solid looked... Well... More solid and natural.

3. The Search Bar doesn't look too good either. Give a more sandy look and perhaps it'll look more natural. Also, how come there's not a Search Bar available on the Community Forum pages?

4. The Front Page = "meh". I liked the old news article system where it would show a certain image, the avatar and name of the OP, and a sweet title. The overall format of the front page was great too. Currently, it looks really plain, though.

5. I'm glad to see Sandswept.net still has the same background, and the same Top Bar, but with some changes with the Greetings section.

6. I'm also glad with the Community Forums home page. It looks more professional, organized, and I love the Online Users section at the bottom key.

7. Once again, I'm also glad with the bottom "Footer". It also looks professional, organized, and definitely natural. The colors mix perfectly.

And there ya go! If you haven't noticed, I like original content on websites. ; )

We will certainly look into the feedback, but we're very leery about changing things based on single opinions.

It's not harsh at all -- if you don't like something, say so politely. We consider everything, you should know that, Vokes.

Allow me to explain something as well. The current website is completely new. Everything from the old website was scrapped (Dan is no longer our webgineer, unfortunately). I've mainly taken it upon myself to get something ready for you guys, and that's what you see here. Everything is new, even if we've done our best to match the old. Don't let up on us. We need you guys prodding us in the back to make this website the best it can be.

I do know Sandswept considers all feedback given, but I just wanted to make sure anyone who was reading my post would know ahead of time.

The new Greetings box looks okay. I think the avatar doesn't need to be slightly bulging out of the box. Also, the Saved Threads feature doesn't work for me.

Oh, and the Member List option is nice!

At first I didn't like the popping avatar, but now I think its kinda sweet, like its being held in place by laser beams or something

Do you have any information on where that happened? Otherwise I might have to just call it an avatar tumor and assume you're the only one suffering. (And there's probably no cure.)

That's just what it looks like all the time when I'm logged in. On multiple computers.

On the main forum page, all the forums have a link labeled "Latest Post" that takes me to the latest post for that forum.

However, next to the wasteland it says "Latest PostMonthly Bit of Music", which is the latest post, yet appears when all others do not, and contains no space between post and monthly.

We should have died a very long time ago, you and I, the instant we fell upon this sandy land, without pain, and without sorrow.

Saved Threads button now works in the top right profile box. (next to your avatar, New Messages, Edit Profile, etc.)

Anelf, are you running any greasemonkey scripts or anything of that sort?

There's no code what-so-ever for what you're seeing there -- and I haven't heard any one else bring it up.

Nope, just plain ol' IE 8. Looks fine in Firefox.

Welcome to Browser Hell. Please take a number at the door.

For the time being, we can only suggest you use Firefox, and we'll find some time to figure out where that image is even coming from...
