Brand New Portal Launched Utilizing Ajax - Take a look

[jg123]

I just launched my new entertainment site a few days ago and would like to encourage my fellow forum members to check-it-out and take it for a spin. I have the home page and the polls page ready right now and the forum will be up and running soon. In the near future I want to introduce games, contests and other fun pages.

Please let me know of any bugs you encounter. Anything you like or dislike. Performance, loading times, etc...

thanks

#1- Change that header color. Purple is a terrible color for something like this.
#2- Make the background white or something. For me, the term AJAX brings to mind a white background (don't know why, it just does)
#3- Get rid of the red dotted outline whenever I try to move one of the widgets.

Hmm too much ajax?

Play around with the colours and I think you're going to have a very nice portal

Oh, I like purple....but you might be right

Thanks for your comments JBSHosting,

White=Ajax, Ajax is/was a cleanser and it had bleach in it I think.

Red dotted outline, it is suppposed to show you where you can place the block. I kinda thought it was helpful.

Thank you for your comments w1ww,

Too much Ajax, I guess it is a bit of a novelty but I am very intersted in new technologies and programming. Right now everyone is using Ajax for those cool hover previews of links, I want to use it a little differently on my site. Right now only the home page and polls page is using Ajax. I do like the poll animation (via Ajax) when you click vote.

Yes those colors seem to not be too popular. I really like a black background for entertainment though. What color combonations can you recommend? Anything with black background?

thanks

I personally like the black/blue and grey(silver?)/white color schemas.

Check my forum and tell me if that color looks better?

 

[RegisterRants]

Much better. However, I have seen that SMF skin somewhere before...

By the way, are you from NJ? The NJ in the URL, does that signify New Jersey?

 

[jg123]

I am from Canada, Toronto area. I just liked the domain name and bought it, thought it rolled off the tongue nice and my kids names both being with 'J' so I liked that too.

The skin is a free one that I had modified slightly.

I took a peek at the forum in your signature and it is very high-tech looking, love the look of the scrolling screen. I might just go for black and white and use a purple logo to get my fix of the color.

thanks

Good to see that my sig is getting attention

The purple in that idea will look REALLY, REALLY, REALLY bad. Black + White + Purple = BARF
