Title: New site design
Post by: Kuudere on January 24, 2013, 05:13:25 PM
I wanted to give a little praise to the web design team for this year's website! Past years have made me cringe (especially in regards to difficult navigation), but this year, with the navigation at the top, and a wide dropdown list of links, it's not a huge hassle.

There are a few little things to be fixed (on my browser, the header art on pages like this one (http://www.fanime.com/community/) is covered in an awkward place, and the titles of each of the sections on that Community page should really be links, rather than searching for the link in the paragraph description). But really, overall it's a great improvement in my opinion. Thanks for the hard work, guys!

Hello! Thanks for the positive feedback. Staff love feedback!!

Which browser are you using? Do you think you can provide a screenshot of your issue with the website?

Never mind about the header image. I accessed the actual image file, and it appears as it's supposed to. It's just cut off at a really awkward place compared to Candy's larger image on the main page. Only half their hands are showing, so I figured it was an issue with the content overlapping the image.

I think I understand why they cut it off at that spot (in order to show more content on the page without scrolling), but I guess it's just...strange looking. But that's just my opinion. Others may disagree.

Looks like the link issue on the Community page is fixed, though! And I like the color scheme much more than last year. And of course, great art as always.

I'm also liking the new design!

However, I'm having issues with it displaying properly.

From the main site (http://s7.postimage.org/jdd1tg2ij/fanimesiteissue1.png)
From a subsection of the site (http://s9.postimage.org/p8ez4sdan/fanimesiteissue2.png)

I can still navigate the site through the text links at the bottom, but the banner covering the links + drop-downs at the top has been happening off and on for me. It seems to work fine in Chrome, but IE is giving issues (I was having problems loading the site on Chrome yesterday, so all my Fanime-related tabs are up in IE right now instead). The links seem to be displaying vertically instead of horizontally.

Just letting you guys know about this issue. :) Thanks for all your hard work!!
