Well, I never really imagined myself making a serious layout, but I had some time this evening (more like I didn't feel like going to bed right away, so I thought I'd toy around). This is just a work in progress, I suppose, but I was bored. ~

The Nuke Brazil Now! button is borrowed from blackhole89, and is hosted on my ImageShack account (I'm not leeching off his bandwidth for his photobucket). The AIM icon was shamelessly stolen from Proboards and is hosted up on my ImageShack account. Special thanks to YoshiDude for some critiques. I know it's really basic and simple, I've got some ideas for later on, it looks really good with the theme I use for the board (Circuit), and best with 1024 x 768 resolution (it's not bad in mine though, which is higher). Some future plans include more buttons and some other improvements, and likely some sort of background for the first layer as opposed to just the color.

Does anyone notice any errors I should be aware and fix? It seems fine to me.

Edit: I changed the second div layer's font size to 12px instead of 10px, the other may have been too small for many readers.

Edit 2: I reduced the border around Nuke Brazil Now! to 0. I didn't catch that previously.

Looks good. Simple, easy to read, easy on the eyes. Good job!

Did you include any code for <blockquote>?

None actually, but I'll see how it looks quoting you =D~

Looks good to me. Thanks for the compliments.

The colors were based very loosely on the circuit theme for the board, I'm not sure who's responsible for it, but they are definitely attractive. <3

I know you said your not done, so...

Looking at it some more, the only "problem" I see is the wasted space on the right side. Not sure what, but... something... should be there. That, or center the textbox that contains your post...

I'm contemplating something but I'm not sure what. I may put an image there to take up the room. There's a variable amount of space depending on your resolution, so it looks a little more severe in mine (1280 x 1024) than it does in the average user (I assume that's 1024 x 768). I'll put something there, just not sure what yet D:

Yeah, I use 1280x1024 myself. You could almost fit your entire textbox in there a 2nd time. xD

You could always put various buttons and/or stats (a-la Acmlm's layout) over there. Or maybe use a php script that displays a random image, like I use for my avatar.

Or you could use the tired old status.php thinger... *rolls eyes*

What I think you should do, is make the blank space to the right contain an image and be a fixed width, say <td width="150">. Then maybe you can make the other side have a width of 100% to make the layout consistent in any resolution.

Indeed, I could.

My stats can be seen on the left panel, I think it's redundant to stick them in one's layout =(~

I'll probably use an image like so many other people. And I have plans for more buttons on the lower section


Or you could use the tired old status.php thinger... *rolls eyes*


Ack, I refuse, that's what the stats link above is for XD

I use the RPG layout (It's the best one, even if it does have an ugly red border now ), so all I see for stats are Level, HP, MP, Exp, and the Exp you need for your next level...

Well...it´s easy to read, doesn´t have shiny bright ccolors, is pretty simple. It´s fine by me.

Very well done. Thayer. I like it.

I've gotten the idea now for at least three more possible layouts and I'm going to work on them today when I can. Not sure when really, I need to look up a lot of stuff on CLEP exams.

Interesting redesign. However, your links in your sig don't line up exactly. The last link looks like this:

Gallery

My suggestion is to just put everything after Send E-mail on a seperate line. That, or expand the table the contains your post text enough that the word Gallery will fit on the first line.

Still, overall, very nice!

That's strange, It seems to look perfectly on my monitor and even when I go to lower resolutions. I don't understand why that happens.
