AJ's "I created a forum and I don't know what I'm doing" post


Screw it, IMDB's closing the board anyway, I feel no need to keep on topic.


As title says, I burped out a board for TO right quick, but I've forgotten all I knew about web design.

I know it doesn't look that great, that's because I spent approximately 15 minutes on it (mostly trying to get a banner to align in a way that didn't look stupid). It's extremely bare-bones, but there's a subforum/thread for suggestions.


Please gimme some ideas of what you'd like to see as far as subforums. If any of you is better at layout and banner tinkering, let me know. I'll also need some admin help.

I registered as Allison and I'll happily admin- I'm fairly even handed and I'd also love to play with banners as I do like messing about with art. Good sub forums would be discussions about the actors, characters, a special spoiler one and also a recommendation forum for other sites and fan material.

Gimme a minute to figure out the admin controls here.


ETA: You should be an admin now.

reply

Frell, those are some clumsy controls... :)The priority is setting up the various sub forums and making sure we get as many people from here over to there.

Good, it's not just me then. Can you figure out a banner? I'm done trying to figure that mess out.

reply

Done. It's basic for now, I'm still wrapping my head around it and I'm trying to find a placeholder background we can use now.

Thanks for doing that.

I have registered.. Same username.

Created a thread to experiment...

LOL.. Dont kill me after reading it.

For esthetic right now we can start with the Original's poster on the main page. Lets up Hayley in the middle with Elijah on her right side 

How about making a separate Spoiler sub-forum too?

I tried to do a simple banner of the TO logo, but it wouldn't align right and kept repeating.


Spoiler and Shipping subforums are a go!

reply

Align right? Try it in the center at the top.

reply

Bookmarked, but I doubt I will spend too much time there. But I will probably stop in once in awhile during the remaining season(s).
