Okay guys, so in honour of Randall's upcoming return in MU, I figured we should have a bit of a forum redesign! And since my finals are all done now (squee) I have a bit more time on my hands to update stuff and make it look all shiny and nice. I'm going to be making these changes in five days so you have until Monday the 3rd to let me know what you think!
Banner and Footer
So these are the things I definitely want to update the most, especially the banner. I'm thinking images of both MU and MI Randall would be good, but otherwise I'm very open to suggestions.
Also, what do you guys think about having a footer at all? Would you like one or do you find it a bit of an annoying addition? Any ideas as to what the footer should be- more images of Randall or something else?
Member Rankings
Yes, the little things under your usernames when you post- these are also going to be updated and any suggestions for categories are welcome!
Colour Scheme
Now, I don't know about you guys, but this is actually something I actually like as is- the colours are very Randall (obviously, haha) and I don't think they're too garish. But, again, let me know what you think!
Anything Else?
Just let me know if there's something else you think should be changed or updated! ;D

I like the idea of having both MU and MI Randall on the header, but maybe different pics from that same stylized pic that everyone shows? I like the colors as/is, too, since they're very much Randall! I don't know about a footer, maybe not needed?

*taps lip* The...other...board has something to the MU/MI reflection banner....so we may have to be a bit more creative in that aspect. Banner's the top right? I haven't taken web classes in a while. But as it's most important. I mean definitely, we should save the original in the archives.... It should be the same size (if that IS the limit size) so it doesn't get in the way of people's IM portion. I could probably cook up something... Actually I may have just the idea. I'll work on it a little, I think it may be interesting to use, give me a little bit...
Hmm...I got this weird image of Randy in the banner and Randall on the bottom sorta a "Randy started out like this then...*as the viewer looks through all the topics on the board*...comes out like this, with Randall". Though that may be a little depressing considering end results...again, I'll have to mumble it over. --- Hehehe Scurvey...or whatever the last one is hehehe. Umm...I think we need the original list on that LG. --- I agree LG...the color scheme...I mean something should stay the same to sorta preserve memory, and maybe this is it. --- Since I didn't know were were running an update, I'll mumble over some ideas. I've been working through the Series and idea on the sequel, so maybe I have something around that I can contribute.

I like the colour scheme the way it is too because it works for Randall and it also doesn't hurt my eyes(I assume it doesn't hurt anyone elses eyes either?). It's not either too bright or too dark.
As for member rankings, I honestly have no idea what all the current ones even are. I have no idea which one I would get once I get beyond the one I currently have, for example.
I'm not sure about the banner....maybe something that includes what he looks like in MU and also what he looks like in MI? The other forum has already done that but you could still do something a bit different with different images or something.

I think I have a great idea about the banner. Incorporates that aspect, but also, since we're seeing Randall at two different points, it shows something else...it shows LIFE. Obviously they've all had lives, but now it's shown. There are YEARS to each of them. I'm going to try to express that in what I'm working on...thanks to some help from a little song heheh.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
Okay, we'll definitely stick with the same colour scheme since it works well already.
Which stylised images were you referring to, PBL? I can think of one for MU Randall but not MI, but I'm probably just being forgetful.
I'm looking forward to seeing what you've got RB, thanks for whipping something up! According to the editing thing the banner size is 728 x 90 if that's of any help.
And I'll try and root out the original list of rankings so that you guys can have a proper think about them.

Yeah, glad that's agreed so far...I guess it's also "home colors" as it were....ooo! We're a Frat/Soro and green and purple are our colors ^0^ Yeah Randall Oh Randall! ^0^ (....that's....ROR....ok, need to change that)
Well I am a board dedicate heheh. But yeah, I think I got an awesome idea, hopefully I have the time to make it reality.

But yeah, I think I got an awesome idea, hopefully I have the time to make it reality. Haha, it's funny because green and purple are the official colours of both Hogwarts and of my university- the latter of which is great seeing as all of our sports teams have kits that are essentially in the 'ultimate' Randall colours! Whenever I see them out playing football or rugby I always think it's like watching a team of humanised Randalls running about the pitch, haha. And the rankings, before I forget, are currently as follows (with the post count on the right): Randall's Skivvy - 0-299 Randall's Head Servant - 300-799 Randall's Friend - 800-1999 Randall's Best Friend - 2000 - 4999 Randall's Guardian Angel 5000+ I'm open to suggestions both in terms of the names of the rankings and for the post counts- do you guys think they should be a bit lower? We can actually have up to 10 rankings so I was thinking of making it a bit more incremental.

Really? Isn't that ironic ^0^
Skivvy...heh heh...who thought of THAT? ^0^
Hmm lets see....we got 5 so far...(wow, I'm three angels ^0^)...umm...lets see...
0-100 100-300 300-600 600-1000 1000-1500 1500-2100 2100-2800 2800-3600 3600-4500 4500-5500
How's...that for increments? I increased the amount by a stable bit. As an RPG guy, always loved leveling up!

Although I don't really mind being his "Head Servant".....since it seems kind of hot....>_>

Head Servant translates to Coffee Fetcher hehehe.
....Ooooh! I got a name for one ^0^

Those increments look good, much better to me, and I also really like Coffee Fetcher, haha. I was thinking having 'Scare Assistant' for one of the lower ranks perhaps. Especially now we've got more increments, we have more chances to get creative! And mintygreen, I'm sure we can keep Head Servant in there for that purpose, LOL.
Also, I've changed the little news feed thing that shows up under the banner when you're on the front page. I've kept it simple with a little Randall in-joke for fun but, again, suggestions are welcome!

Scare Assistant could be one. Ok that Fetcher... I'm thinking of something with the Shredder, as a joke, but that may be too mean of a rank ^0^
Tehehe go that one.
