| I think I'd have to vote on preferring the old layout. If we could get it into a side bar it might be ok, but I think a comprehensive link directory is too much information/cluttered as a lead-in. I'm interested to know what others think? --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 15:08, 28 October 2008 (CDT)

| It's a cache issue, Sometimes it will clear if you just hit refresh also but more likely you'll need to clear your browser's cache and then you should see it. In Firefox go to Tools->Options->Privacy->Settings, make sure cache is checked, hit OK, then hit Clear Now. In IE I believe it's Tools->General->Delete Browsing History. Not sure on IE though (also menu bar may be hidden, if so I think there's a tools button). Let me know if you see it after that, if not there's something I might do to the site.--[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 06:06, 16 May 2008 (CDT)

| Excellent, I hadn't been able to figure that out, turns out it was because I didn't happen to have that font installed on my machine. But I was able to pick it up and here's new versions using Padula, I think they look much nicer:

| Looks great, both logo and banner. Also, sort of related I guess. I was looking through my fonts, and I believe that I found the font turbine uses in the splash screen for the name of the patch. Its ''Padula''.

| I'd rather hold off on posting that Logo. I like the concept and design, it's just the execution looks 'fuzzy' and incomplete to me. If it was sharpened with shiny steel look and feel it would be perfect.

| Gouru is hard to get ahold of. I've sent him a few PMs on the turbine boards but he only responded to the first one, which was about the spam on the message board here, which has still not been taken care of. I've sent both him and maddy requests for admin powers here since neither of them are active on the wiki, but haven't heard anything back yet.

| After reading the comments below about the Home image, I noticed that too, I made a quick image with what I believe are the proper dimensions and properly alpha'd background but I couldn't find a contact to send to, does anyone have contact info for Gouru?

| Coming to it with fresh eyes I find the current layout easier to quickly read. One suggestion I might make though would be to bold the couple that people click on the most (for example, quests, current patch, and dungeons?) --[[User:Tlosk|Tlosk]] 13:27, 22 February 2008 (CST)

| So a week ago Thargos changed the layout of the topics section from horizontal to vertical. I personally don't like the new look, but that may just have been because I was used to the old set up. So here are the two styles side by side. What does everyone else think? Keep it as is? Go back to old style? or try something new?

| That's a website for a guild on Frostfell I believe, it was active only a few months ago. As for the general look, it's probably a custom skin, which is something we could look into but ultimately Gouru would need to install, you can check out how to make skins for this specific engine here [[http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Skins]] and here [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skinning]]. Also, there is a guide [[http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:Skin_configuration]] that shows how to setup the logo and such.

| I just found what I guess was a failed AC lore wiki. Although its not being updated, the style of the pages are really nice so I thought I'd put a link here: [http://hallsofknorr.org/wiki/Main_Page Halls of Knorr]
| |
| | |
| It would be so great if we could find who did that wiki and have them fluf up this one to not look like crap.

| Ok I replaced the TOC, I left out the links to welcome and getting started since they are right at the top of the page anyway. I also removed the large link to the patch page and replaced it with a smaller link in the new TOC
| |
| | |
| Also, I changed the Topics section a bit. I didn't like the look of the generic table, so I made the table lines invisible. But when I saw it with no lines at all, it looked a little wierd. It needed the lines to break up the categories, so thats why I put those in.

| I have no idea how to add a logo, I'm assuming its an admin only thing.
| |
| | |
| I'll go ahead and make the changes to the new sections. Thanks.
| |
| | |
| Also about the main page. Should we hide the table of contents? You can hide it by placing <nowiki>__NOTOC__</nowiki> on the page. We could replace it with a more attractive TOC or just leave it out. Thoughts?

| I think current events should be strictly game only, i.e: live events, patch all kinds of things like that and announcements be wiki-only, archiving would be good for current events, not sure if its really necessary for the wiki but I guess thats up to others to decide as well. Archiving in the AC history page seems to be the best place for archive current events, I agree on that initiative.
| |
| | |
| Also, I think we should consider replacing that image in the top left corner, the SET $wgLogo to the URL path, it looks ugly and it would not be hard to make a nice ACC one. Do we need Gouru to do that? If not then if someone knows how, I would be happy to make the logo for it.

| I've been sticking news in the announcements section, things posted by the devs and such. I just checked out the current events section, and it had 1 old news story so I stuck all the things from announcements there. Questions:
| |
| | |
| 1. Should we add news to both the announcements and current events? Or should Current events be only for game news, announcements for wiki news, or vice versa?
| |
| | |
| 2. Should we create an archived news section? If so, I think it would be a good addition to the AC history page, which is currently lacking in information. If created we could place tons of old stuff in there like weekly updates and such from before the wiki was created.

| Well done, it looks much better with this structure, I think it's much more accessible now, we should focus on filling those current sections as much as possible once the patch content is filled out.

| I just redesigned the front page slightly. First, I have redone the topics table. None of the links from the old version were removed, but a few new ones were added, and I tried to sort them into general categories.
| |
| | |
| I also moved the announcements below the topic and getting started section, just to see what it looks like. I felt that the topic section might be more important to have at the top. Its really simple to reverse if anyone has a problem with it though.
