All members... heads up -- Website Redesign

The "settings" button on ATS shows how the buttons will look once I refine things a bit.

I wish you well on this journey, many late nights of headaches are ahead...

Hrm...still can't see anything...

The site looks more like it is about generating advertising revenue with every passing minute.

Oh well.

The images are hosted on our dedicated image server at:
66.98.176.42...
If you click on that link, do you see the button?

I think I mentioned the design changes will occur over several days.

Not to mention that we now require a 4th server with dedicated network connection to the others to keep up with demand... will you pay the bills so we can turn off the ads?

Nice design.
I can´t wait to see it in other than low-bandwidth mode...

And as a new ats-feature you are now no longer allowed to log off...
Or kill cookies for that matter (unless you do that manually) ...

Ah. Then I am seeing an intermediate set of banners I presume.

Some like change, some hate it, some are indifferent to it.

Enjoy the next few days!

Skeptic: Very nice...wow a dedicated image server.

Sorry, but I couldn't see the image.

The "home" button is temporarily removed... which placed the log-out button in the same place the home button USED TO BE. . . . . bad idea. So now the log-out is at the far right so that no one hits the far-left button to go to home and logs out by accident.

Then for some reason, your personal firewall or ISP is blocking the IP.

I don't see a logout button anywhere either, right or left side.

It should be on the right now.

Is there anything I can do to unblock it?

Probably a good idea, but I don´t have that button to the far right either. It´s not there at all. I saw kinglizard wrote about that button in another thread but maybe only mods have that button now? Or at least some of us don´t...

edit: Magic... The button just arrived. I got it now. And it´s to the far right.

The convention for the top-row tabs is to provide access to public options/boards. Since webmail isn't public, it will no longer be on the top row.

An alternative is on the way in a few days.

You can go to ATSNN page to get to the webmail link, (serves you right since I cant get it).

Whew, cuz I usually come to ATS to click on the Webmail link so I can check my email and see the newest posts. Freaked me out when I couldnt find the link anymore.

Also, as a headsup since I know theres still alot to be done, the header images on any branching pages of the main page needs border="0" applied to them, they have a huge ugly black border around them. And the Blog link leads to a none existent page. Also, I think this was happening before too, but something is causing Firefox and Opera to set the pages character set to Unicode, when the page says to use ISO-8859-1, and that change causes quotes to screw up. Iv only seen it do it on ATS too, other sites that have pages set as Western show up just fine as just that. Is there anything you can do about that? Could be due to default_charset in the php.ini file being set to UTF-8.
