Hi all,

 

I haven't made a Dev Blog entry in a while, but trust me there are many things being developed.

 

I'll try to keep this one short. This is about completing website-forum integration, visually. At the moment the integration is very efficient, we can share database information back and forth between the website and the forum as if they were one software. It could be better, but it works. But it does at times look weak mainly due to the fact that the two look completely different.

 

So the idea of this to make it look like you never leave the forum, or the website. In fact it will confuse you where exactly you are. Because they'll look nearly identical.

 

There are two levels of theme integration:

Header only:

This involves only integrating the header of the forums. The logo, menu, and userbar. As shown here:

Full Integration

This involves changing all of the website styles and images to replicate that of the forum. This is where I will try and confuse you if you're on the forum, or website. Coz it'll look the same.

 

 

Now here's a tricky question. If I go ahead and attempt this, if will obviously be using the forum skin. However, this will be a very permanent investment. It will take many days to complete and therefore I would keep the same theme for at least 6 months, if not longer. Although I feel the current skin is now our trademark, would you guys want a skin change? Or should we stay with the current skin(granted I tweak it to make it look extra pretty) ?

 

 

To summarize the blog questions

-Full or header-only integration ?

-Integrate the current forum skin, or a new one ?

I think Full Integration would be pre' cool.

 

Also, I'm getting tired of this skin, so a new one wouldn't hurt. :alright:

 

Is there a way to subscribe to this blog?

Thanks for your input :)

 

I don't there is a way to subscribe actually, apart from RSS which I find pointless. But you could add it to iGoogle that way :)
