Hey DB, am I at the right place?

Yes, this is still the No Fact Zone that you know and love. I hope everyone likes the new template. I love the header, and the smooth lines, and the comments are just so pretty! It’s just that sometimes I need to change things up a bit to keep it a bit fresh around here. We may or may not stick with this template, but for now, it’s just a little change of pace, a palate cleanser, as it were, to give us all a little something new to look at.

If I missed adding a key bit of functionality that the old template had, please let me know and I’ll see if I can add it.

    I love it! This is not at all based on the fact that you used my favorite Stephen pic ever for the header. Nope, not at all.

    Love the look, but have mercy on the older fangirls among us–could the font please be a trifle darker?

      I’ll see what I can do when I get home. There’s still a bit more tweaking to go.

      I just found another issue – the comments don’t wrap when you’re typing them. Ugh. I’ll get it fixed as soon as I can!

        I’m gonna second the request for a darker font, because us “older fangirls” (snicker) gotta stick together. Also because I’m a pain in the @ss. ;)

        I see what you mean about the comments not wrapping. It didn’t do that when I posted my first comment, only for this reply. But that’s the only malfunction I’ve seen so far.

    I love the colors, layout, font, etc. Nice clean look!

    I have to say I’m not crazy about the header, I know I’m in the minority! It seems too big relative to the rest of the page, and too full of empty space. (I know white space is good, but maybe not that much?) And while I love that pic of Mr. Colbert, I think it only represents a pretty narrow side of him (his sexiness! yow!) — which is lovely, but I miss the silly -while-also-commenting-on-the-state-of-things-and-looking-sharp-while-doing-it effect of the pic in the previous header. I’m not saying use the same pic, necessarily, but that’s what I liked about that pic being the header of the old layout. This header…almost makes the site look deadly serious or something!

    Just my $.02! I really do think the new format as a whole is lovely! Nice work!

      Yes, I just realized that it’s completely different. It used to be more of a TCR fansite, now it’s lots more fangirly. Personally I think that’s a good thing, but I can see how some might want a more TCR focus (red white and blue, “Stephen” rather than Stephen, etc.)

      • leorabk says:

        i like the more stephen focus because then we can also discuss “stephen”. if it were just “stephen” we wouldn’t be able to discuss Stephen.
        anyway i guess what im trying to say is i like the new template!

        Yeah, this is more of a palete cleanser – something to look at while I get something more permanent ready.

          I’m not a fangirl but I like that picture. We tend to discuss more than just TCR episodes on this site so I think any pic of him is fine.

    Nice work, DB! This looks fabulous. It is nice to have a new piece of eye candy on the header, but count me as one of those who love the pic of Stephen sewing the flag–it just makes me smile. Either way- love, love, love the new template!

    Woah, nice job, DB! I like it. I don’t have any suggestions of as right now, but I’ll be sure to drop a line if I do. I don’t have the comments-not-wrapping-when I’m-typing-them problem.

  15. Arianne says:

    Oh, I just thought of a suggestion! This will either look kind of cool or reaallllly stupid, so bear with me. You know how Stephen elbow gets cut off in the header? What if it extended beyond the edge of the header so it didn’t get cut off? Like he’s going outside of the box. Like I said, bear with me on that.

      Unfortunately, that’s where the picture ends. :( That’s why it’s flush to the left.

    Pretty!!!!!! I gotta say I liked the feel of the thread-biting “Stephen” picture more for the site (not that it matters AT ALL), but gosh that header up there now sure was excellent to see first thing! LOVE that picture!! And I guess it IS more appropriate since the site covers pretty much everything Stephen the actor does and has done, not just TCR and the “Stephen” character… but I still like the silliness of the other picture. It puts me in a good mood :).

      I don’t see it either. Also, maybe it’s just because my computer’s deciding not to show it, but I miss the Log-In link – whenever I delete my cookies, I have to log in again to the site, and that link has always been convenient.

    Looks great, DB and I really like the countdown (as I never know when there’s a TCR break until you announce it so nice to know when it’s back on). I didn’t know there was a diffrence between the fangirls and the TCR fans, but there was one between Trekkers and Trekkies years ago so I shouldn’t be surprised. Love the site and any changes you make are always for the best, IMO.

    Did anyone see Stephen referenced in Get Fuzzy the other day? Awesome!

    I love the colors! And the countdown at the side! Have actually been staring at it saying “Hurry up!” And yeah, the comment thread IS pretty!

    I completely agree with Holly up thread about the header. And the font size is a tad bigger but I can just zoom out once and it’s fine. Apart from that, everything looks great! :D

    Just wanted to say that I love love love the new layout – that is definitely my favourite pic of Stephen! :) Amazing job!

    Only thing that confused me slightly is that there used to be a small link under posts on the home page saying how many comments a post had (and letting you click through to them) that’s not there anymore? (Unless I am delusional, which may also be the case…) Is it possible to get that back? It was quite cool knowing which posts had a lot of conversation going on at a glance!

    Other than that, can I just say again how awesome this layout is? Yep, I think I’ll be spending a lot of time staring at that header from now on…

      The number of comments should actually be right next to the title of the post. There’s a little talk bubble right next to the title – right now the number for this post should say post should say 38, and it will be 39 after I post this. Hope that helps :)

    Preeeeeetty.

    I, also, do not see the next/previous comment arrows that used to be at the top (someone else mentioned this earlier). Those were really indispensible to me, as I tend to get so far behind on the shows and hence the site and can easily move along to catch up, read all the comments, and save my place when I have to stop again.

    Are they there and I just can’t see them? Or, if they aren’t there, can they be brought back?

    Otherwise: Awesomeness!
