Things that could be added:

1. Like the current home page and being able to click 1, 2, and 3 to manually move the banners. On top of the new banner have another tab like box with a title for each banner, the titles move to the next box/title shown automatically like usual or when clicked on.

And maybe add some sort of visual timer so you know when it changes.

So essentially...

............box 1.....................box 2................................ box 3......
[NEW DI'S] .......... [New Anka Egg shit] ...... [ Toho's new fancy cupholders]
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄ <- time until next banner....

^^^^ Above is banner ^^^^

2. Change the black outlines of the boxes and go for a much lighter color (like lower opacity to like 20% if possible). You already have the green/white creating boxes to help separate everything the extra dark lines are a little overkill. This cleans up the appearance of the screen. YOU DO NEEDS LINES THERE just not as punctual. Those black lines stand out too much everything from the banners, and text boxes. They need to be toned down. (This is a good chance of using other colors to help add color the main page as well.) Try matching the trisphee green at first then go from there.

3. I think I found the problem with the news feed and the avatar boxes. Take note of your name, now imagine if it was half as long. Your name would spill into the text box next to it.

The picture making the box of your avatar is a good indicator that there isn't enough space between the avatar box and the text to begin with. So you need to make the text box next to it pushed slightly to the right to make room.

The banner rotator isn't quite done yet. It doesn't rotate right, and is missing the 'location pips' I plan on putting there.

As for the rest...I shall make use of the suggestions as I refine the front page. I want to make it be the "real" front page this week. Got only a few more things before I can justify to myself doing that.

[Illusion]

My quick mockup.


(The colors I used for the top portion was just an example showing you can do anything to add more color.)

Also note that the outer black box was tone down and became more transparent. Yeah do that to all the boxes. xD

edit: I just realized the banners don't redirect you to the respective shops.

So yeah. That would be nice. xD

And if an event going on a redirect to the event forum or something would work.

edit edit:

Gosh darn my damm obsession with this one thing right now. And gosh darn it's almost midnight and baskin robbins is closed. I WANT MY HALF OFF ICE CREAM! D:

[Tohopekaliga]

The banner links are entirely wrong right now. I'm reworking how I update that part of the page, so it's just random trash, heh.

Although, for programmer art, I don't think I did a terrible job with the banner images themselves.


Thanks for that mockup. Good spacing suggestions. :)


Also. You clearly have adblock. Heh.

>.> On the beta site yes. On regular trisphee no, it's disabled.

[Tohopekaliga]

I see. Well, thank you for disabling it on Trisphee. It is appreciated. :)

I don't begrudge people using it. So many sites are horrific about ads.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that when I moved servers a couple weeks ago, I enabled ssl for Trisphee and beta Trisphee, so if you prefer browsing secure, you can preface it with https:// instead of http. I may force all users to use https at some point, but not right now.

At least, I think I forgot to mention. I know I said it to coda and some others.

[littl3chocobo]

there are ads running? when did that happen? XD

[Coda]

Uh... It's been months if not a year now. They're unobtrusive, at the bottom of the page instead of injected somewhere distracting.

[Tohopekaliga]

I put them up in October. They make almost nothing, but a little more doesn't hurt, and I don't think it looks bad to have a bit if advertising around.

[Illusion]

That's why you tell users to click on them at least 3 times a day just because.

[littl3chocobo]

ah, the way i have my stuff set up ads don't really run XD it does save me from having to get an adblocker and from getting mad at shitty game ads but i have blank bg where ads are supposed to go

[Tohopekaliga]

Telling users to click ads is explicitly against the ad network rules. Further, I think I get less from clicks where people click then immediately close. Not sure.

Besides, I get paid for impressions and clicks, not just clicks. :P

[Illusion]

The front page looks so much better now with the boxes having that trisphee green on them.

Text isn't running off and is properly spaced.

Buttons are placed on the banners.

Trisphee logo moves when hovered over. (It's very fancy :P)

Looking strong <3

edit: Needs cupholders and OOOH maybe an armrest installed.

[Tohopekaliga]

I'm glad you approve, because as you posted that I was doing my final sanity checks before bumping off the old front page completely! Now you don't need to visit Beta to see it. :P

[Demonskid]

-plays with tris logo- ouo

it is quite entertaining for some reason

[Glitch]

i thought so too!
