I think it's time to change ZSR up a little. There are a number of things that have been bugging me about the site that I want to see changed, and I want to get them done over the summer.

The biggest of the changes is updating front page.

  • One thing most editors have been pushing for is an updated front page that links to the OoT3D and SS sites, and a link to the leaderboards. It should be designed in a way that lets us easily add new games to it.
  • I'd also like to get rid of game site specific news and put all zsr news on to the front page, as site specific news is rarely used. The only problem with this is that I don't have any idea on what should fill the space where the news would be. I'd also like to see the twitter feed on the front page.

Second, the css needs a little changing. I made a test page to show how things look atm. Headers don't work nicely with the style I want to write pages in, ordered Lists are a completely different color than everything else, and there's an issue with lists with paragraph elements where the paragraph element is padded out too much. I also kind of don't like the current font used. I'd like to see a sans serif font personally... maybe something like this?

Lastly, and probably least important (but kinda cool) would be to make a more mobile friendly version of the site.

I talked to Cosmo, he's ok with a change as long as it looks nice, so all we need now is a designer. If anyone has any comments, shoot.

I think a link to each games forum next to their name would be nice.

About making the site more mobile friendly: I operate on this site from my 3DS 95% of the time, and I have no complaints about it. I don't know about how it is on a smartphone or other device, but I assume it would be the same. Then again, assume makes an ass out of u and me, so...

Also, a list of what the mask symbols mean would be useful. I've been wondering about those since I found this site. Maybe just a little bar underneath the heart system explanation would do it.

That's all I have right now.

It would be nice if Edits showed up as the latest posts as well. If someone edits a post after several other people have said things (i.e. in any R&D thread), the edit would be easy to miss. Another example is Greenalink's PH run thread. He modifies his previous post many times to tell new things he's found/modifications he's making to the route. If this is implemented, we can see when he modifies his post instead of seeing them all when he puts up a new post.

Kaztalek, that layout looks fine, but I'm not too happy with the color scheme.

Personally, I like the current color scheme, but if we change it, I agree with Cosmo: It needs to look nice.

Editing the last post in a thread should mark it as being a new post.

Well, I edited a post a couple days ago and it didn't show up as a new post. The link to the newest post stayed the same.

It should make it show up as a new post if it's the most recent post. I don't think it's a wanted feature to bump the thread whenever you edit a post several pages back.

Keeta's design is alright, except I kind of feel that the games sites should still be directly accessible from the front page.

maxx, can you change some css stuff for all sites

Get rid of H3's center attribute, and add padding-left: 3px;
Change H4's padding-left attribute so that it's also 3px, and set font-size to 16px

Perhaps if there were a link to the OoT 3D page it would be up to date right now Angry

It would be really funny if someone took the picture keeta drew and used it as the front page image. XD

Seriously though. OoT 3D page needs updates please

So do all the other pages that aren't in the Ocarina of Time section. This thread is to discuss site designs, not outdated pages.
