Kam Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 As some of you may have noticed, I've not been around much lately...and now you can see why :) I've been working hard on changes at Wrestling 101 which you can see HERE. It makes sense to connect the sites more this way so they can both benefit each other. The main focus of the design has been Wrestling 101 which has a clean new fully responsive design. So whether you are looking at the site on a mobile, tablet or PC it should adjust to make it easier for you. It also has more features such as video/gallery posts as well as a few other little things to make my life easier. I've still got various bits to complete on the site but it is fully functional! In addition I've also been working on the FWL...this has been re-coded from scratch and we'll be testing out some of the suggestions given by you in our next season. I'm hoping to launch within the next week. I know not all of you will appreciate the forum sidebar but please give it a chance! It's been a huge amount of work trying to manage the changes to Wrestling 101, the forum, the FWL and the TWO site. I've tested as much as I can but I'm sure they'll be a few issues that may require tweaking :P I hope you like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Oh now this is gonna take some getting used to. That sidebar, holy crap is it distracting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anime Otaku Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah, I really would like to be able to get rid of the side bar, I'm not into wrestling anymore so it's useless to me. I like the new font though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Yeah, honestly everything else is fantastic. If there was a way to maybe minimize the sidebar that would be great. As it is I've just zoomed my browser page so it's not even visible without scrolling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) The sidebar's certainly going to take some getting used to. I don't hate it, and I get the point of it, but, right now, my eyes can't unsee it. EDIT: I do like the new top bar a lot though, very clean and neat, and the new layout for the Wrestling 101 site is fantastic.

Maxximus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Agreed. Wrestling 101 looks tremendous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShaolinHandLock Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It took me a while to get used to everything being in the middle of the screen, and now it's to the left. GAH!!! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I still can't mark forums read(lacking security token or some such) or get to my control panel/setting very easily. The settings button used to be at the top of the screen and now it's totally gone. I have to click on my own user name and filter through my profile page to get to settings. Not gonna lie, it's pretty annoying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 at 1920 x 1080 and full screen the forum background doesn't stretch to the edges of the browser so you have some ugly white stripes down the sides. http://img266.imageshack.us/img266/648/1qgh.png W101 look really nice though.

Jimmy Redman Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Similarly, on my screen the layout is too big for my screen so I only get half the sidebar, and there's no scroller to get across to it. http://i42.tinypic.com/v2z7yq.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 EDIT: Totally the same as Jimbo. I'm at 1024x768 on XP and on default it looks really awkward. That's why I zoomed the page in. Well that and I don't like the sidebar and dammit, I'm not afraid to say it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 It just seems small to me, it's like an app on a PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Also, I don't have the header that Jimmy does where you can see the w101 header image and the Welcome XXXX, My Notifications etc. I'd also like to see some margin between the sidebar and the body of the forum, feels like they are overlapping at the moment.

Maxximus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yeah that's weird. I'm on XP too but I don't have the header Jimmy does. Same OS same browser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Is anyone missing the the little right arrow for last post?, I seem to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxximus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just figured that out. AD block reads the header as an add and auto blocks it. I got it now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Sweet, thank you Maxxy. Something to consider for Kam if the header potentially is going to be an ad related banner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dead Crow Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I have the word Fantasy Wrestling cut off mid-G in the top bar, and the maginifying glass isn't aligned correctly. And the sidebar probably needs to be a slider. It just looks like a forum has been plopped in the middle of a random page. W101 looks quite alright, though.

dpddave Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 The sidebar is horrible. Make an option to remove it please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Hancock Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Just figured that out. AD block reads the header as an add and auto blocks it. I got it now. A genius discovery! I'm having the same thing. My ad blocker won't let me access my inbox or settings or things like that. Looks like Gyp Rosetti's going to be here for a while.

Maxximus Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 Yeah I really don't mind the ads too much really and I've figured a way to kinda ghetto style hide the side bar so I'm good to go. Back to business as usual. PS: Kam, I love you like 80's television failure Sally Strutthers loved starving African children(goggle it kids) but an option to hide the side bar would be amazing. I promise I'll check it regularly even if that convinces you. This is the last I'll say on the matter regardless of your decision. I trust with my life and I would follow you into hell, sir.

Shaun2J Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've quickly adapted to the sidebar. Don't really notice it but I can see only half of it and the welcome, bla bla bla Notifications cuts off at the right side too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsrchris Posted September 18, 2013 Share Posted September 18, 2013 I've noticed that the top bar with "Features/interviews/blogs/news/etc." Covers up first few lines of any new post I click on, so I have to scroll back up a little to be able to read it. It's not a big deal, but it's something I noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible to turn ad blockers off for specific sites? EDIT: Done, everything works fine now.
