Yeah, I'm not sure where to seek help for that kind of thing other than troll around these forums and ask if anyone has some experience with it. We could really use some site logos, and some vectorized Chrono Trigger / Chrono Cross / Radical Dreamers logos for project use.

And if you really wanted to be awesome...a huge, vectorized Frozen Flame. That would rule. It's our favicons.ico and unofficial site mascot.

I'm literally on pins and needles this week concerning seeing how our site stats perform after the DNS changes blow over. How much the layout influences the retaining of viewers and promotes visitors to go through more of the site is something I can't wait to discover.

Is the navigation box's size static? If so, maybe we could use the two row idea since we do have some unused space on the right.

There. I tweaked the forum colors a bit.

Also, the logo image, including the navigation box, is all one image. I left some space on the right because Verdana is wider when it's not anti-aliased, so I wanted to be safe.

Yeah, I'm not sure why, but the forum doesn't look as good with the change. There really should be no different with the appearance, but I guess it's the fact that the forum is more complicated with avatars, titles, signatures, and other tables. Perhaps the texture could be miniaturized according to what you said Mac did for the forums only.

Is there something wrong with the vector CT/CC/RD logos I made a while back?

Vector graphics define images using lines, curves, shapes, etc. rather than pixel-by-pixel. They can be scaled to any size without loss of clarity (e.g. pixelization). You can make vector graphics in programs like Inkscape, OpenOffice.org Draw (what I used to make the logos in the above thread),  Adobe Illustrator, etc.

Ah, just something wrong with my memory. Huge apologies! Now Ramsus go can bananas if he chooses.

I've gotta stick those somewhere more prominent.

Damn, now there's half-an-inch to an inch of every page (on the left) that I can't see...All I can see is hrono ompendium & bits of the C...Otherwise it's pretty cool...the Navigation bar thingy looks like it could be, I dunno...cleaner? More well-formed? I dunno exactly what I mean...I don't want to call it "sloppy", because it's not, but it doesn't feel as uniform as it should be...

Um, I don't know? This is a library comp...they just got fancy new flatscreen monitors too, so I was hoping to see the Compendium in all it's newly designed glory...

EDIT: Alright, whatever you did fixed it.

I fixed it with a Javascript hack, but the page has to load first. Let me know if the side is still being cut off.
