New Layout?

<< < (12/25) > >>

Matdredalia:
Okay, I'm not one to gripe about new layouts and change 'cause they can be good things.

I just have a few opinions to stick in here:

Sidebar blog = infinate win. Having it at the bottom basically hides it, and it's just awkward. Totally bring back the sidebar, Jeph!

Forum button so needs to be put up top.

There should be SOME border on the left side of the comic, just for fluidity. Having color and ads on one side and having the comic flush against the left side of the table just doesn't work well.

Basically I think right now the layout looks kind of cheap and will scare off new readers. And seriously the blog-not-in-sidebar makes Fetus Jesus cry.

My third thought was "oh, THERE it is" - but, really - most webcomics do have the forums more prominently linked.

This does make the site feel less cluttered and more balanced, and as a bonus (for webmasters anyway) it makes room for an additional 160x600 banner.The problem is, the code keeps doing this:



Anybody know how to fix this? I've already messed with the column widths, padding, order they're written into the page, and z-index.

This is what it should be doing:



Also it screws up beyond all belief in IE 6.

Can you post the code somewhere?

bicostp:
Sure!

Apologies in advance for the messy code edits.

Somebody:
Okay, sleep and most of a day later, I've had another look...

And I have to say, it was a very courageous decision to have an excrement-based colour scheme.

[i.e., still hate it. If it gets kept, I'm going to end up just looking at the images for the strip and bypassing the site altogether. Note, BTW, that he said on the twitter that he expects three days of complaining, then everyone to shut up...]
