The FanZone! Redesign

The Fanzone!, our site forum and message boards, has undergone a layout design. Based on the BlackBox theme layout by Crip for SMF.

I really like the look of this theme and have modified some of the css to enhance the functionality and overall look of the site in multiple browsers. As far as the available themes this one is a good fit, from my perspective, for our website and its common look and feel.

The first aspect was to remove the fixed width aspect to allow for a more fluid layout by changing the wrapper width to 100%. The next changes were to enhance links so they have a distinctive difference from the text. I Added yellow font color with additional black background for link hover, to highlight and contrast hovered links and added underline to links in post fields, to highlight links. This is most noticeable when hovering over the link.

Check it out and let us know what you think!

Thanks again Crip for the great layout!

Server and Network Upgrades

In our ongoing efforts to provide our visitors with the ultimate visiting experience we have been upgrading our servers and our network infrastructure. Special thanks our loyal visitors! Thanks to your support and overwhelming peer-to-peer promotion and sharing of our site with your friends. This required us to increase capacity and speed up our infrastructure. We are the only site in town that has to increase our network capacity due to increased visitors. The others simply let their visitors suffer with never loading pages. This process has been phased in over the past couple of weeks to assure the least impact to our visitors. While we have encountered a few issues along the way the results are well worth it. We have completed our server and network upgrades and will resume our css based fluid layout transformation. The layout and presentation upgrades will continue for the next several weeks as will the addition of new categories and topics.

Thanks Again,
The Administrator
