Well this is indeed looking pretty good pmb


but I do have a some comments about the design nevertheless:

• The gametype pictures do like nice, but they seem awfully untidy an all over the place. I think it would look nice if they were aligned to the right of the cell.
• I think it would look nicest if the agora was placed on the top in the yappa section. It might look nice too, if the bots were sorted in some way too... you could sort them after what games they are supporting?
• This last one is kinda weird, but for some reason the windows icon down with the bot forums are somehow associated with something bad inside my head... and I'm not even an open source fanatic! I think it's because growing up with windows i learned that the windows symbol represented files i could not open... That's the best explanation i have... Anybody feel the same way? - And is it possible to find another icon that symbolizes windows without ripping up so many old wounds?

generally it looks nice though, and a little overwhelming, but i don't think there's an easy solution for that, besides minimizing some parts of the forum.. I'm pretty much only using the four first ones anyway.

*raises hand*

That was exactly my first thought - looks like "unknown file type" or "darn, where's that program I need?" or "shit, something must have gone wrong"... I didn't know any better solution, though, that's why I shut my trap.

I agree 100% with your post, though... if you have read the first (invalidated) poll thread, you know that I had suggested something slightly different originally... But sorting the bots (perhaps CS first, other HL mods second, other games / mods last or vice versa would be nice).

hm, I think the icons are ok. well that is the windows icon, and no wonder that it's associated with such "feelings"

btw, maybe also put the hl icons to the hl1/hl2 subforums ?

use the windows xp icon it doesn't look as bad (gives a bad impression) like the other ones does....

the other icon i've come to know as "beware, Bad shit can happen here"
