New front page in the works for IW! (Check THIS out!)

Ziroc · 07-30-2008, 07:54 AM

Remember the old forum software UBB? And how the front page had widgets that allows the 'last few posts' and 'newest members' shown? (It's still on the frontpage at www.ironworksforum.com ) but its old.

This software needs a mod to add that feature, and I'm coding that in now-- Check this frontpage of another forum to see what IW's main page will have:

http://www.vbadvanced.com/?page=demo

It'll be awesome!! A Calendar of events, POLLS, and tons of other things! Doesn't that look so cool???

Now our frontpage will look better, with IW colors and the like--and it won't seem as messy looking. But the options are really cool.

Whats even BETTER is this mod is FREE!

Can't beat that. (Then I'm adding a few new games to the gaming section for you guys to have some fun

.

More soon!

PS: Each Forum will have its own IW logo again soon too!

Good stuff

The lack of a 'up to date' front door to this otherwise great forum has been a problem for a while IMO .. I am sure with the software and your design skills it will look and be awesome Dan

Great stuff! Can't wait to see it up and running!

lol, yeah, I decided to leave the old widgets there on the front page, because it'd look quite bare without them

So, yeah, soon, no more outdated, confusing post widgets!

Looks great! I can hardly wait... especially for the games!

Ya know, it'd really be cool if we could set up tournaments for the games. It looks like it supports it, but I can't figure out (or don't have permission

) to start or enter a tournament. Any chances there, Z?
