HairOnFire Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 I often find myself distracted by bells and whistles, and have been known to stare blankly at shiny things for hours. In fact, this is exactly why I once said that the heavily grapic laden posts of BlackJesus have resulted in me having a series of tiny strokes. And in regards to the posts found on this very message board my first reaction to the more sizzle packed offerings is to mutter softly under my breath..."Stop it. Don't do that for me. Simple words and the occasional picture of a boob are all I require." And I feel the same way about the most official dot com. (Eat more chili.) Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted September 15, 2005 Report Posted September 15, 2005 Guess you've got to be a computer nerd...and that, I most admittedly am. I'm right there with ya bro. One of the things that's driven me crazy is how it appears that they've hardcoded the positions of the pop-up menus so that they pop-up at an absolute location rather than relative to the position of the of header. If you scroll up a little and mouseover, you get this lovely gap between the menu and menu header. I guess some people like "features" like this... Quote

I find it amusing that you're driven crazy by something I've never considered before, and still don't care a lick about now that I've been made aware of it. Quote

Why in the world didn't they center it?!?!?!? It looks fine on an ancient 800x600, I guess, but if you use any higher resolution the entire site is shoved to the left side of the page, and they fill the right side with that hideous repeating pattern.Argh!

No worries. There are quite a few things that tick you off that we don't care a lick about either. Quote
DontPushMe Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 The new site looks good. It fills up my whole IE window, which the last site didnt, based on that alone i like it. Its got some cool new features. I didnt notice the Ads before but there are a lot of them now Biggest addition though is REAL message boards (Not Jungle Talk) Quote
San Antonio Bengal Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 The new site does look good. It looks like someone actually "designed" it. I could do without the "Meet the Bengals" flash on the main page... but wow, this is a big improvement over the previous pages. Those of you who don't care about looks, I see your content still there! The articles are still displayed on the main page and not hidden under flash. See, an upgrade doesn't have to flashify everything... Quote
rizzy Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 where is this new site at it looks the same to me Quote

semiotter Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Its sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet!!! Quote
rizzy Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Hopefully the new site does not take away all the people from all the bengals messages boards out there. Quote
bengalsrz Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 wow, a lot better than the old one IMO Quote

I bet they switched servers. If that's the case it may not look any different until your DNS propagates (is that the correct terminology?).Basically, it could take some time...it depends on your own ISP. Quote
Stripes Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Ok, I'll admit it. I was one to pimp the old site, but this one is off the charts. Great work to all involved. Quote
ShulaSteakhouse Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Not enough advertising. Quote
The_Next_Big_Thing Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Not enough advertising. LOL That was one of the things I immediately HATED about the new site.Give me back the old one, it followed the KISS theory (Keep it Simple, Stupid). This one is a pretty little clusterf**k. Quote
WhoDey93285 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Posted September 17, 2005 Haha, check out their message board. It is almost a direct copy from Bengalszone (With forum catgeories and stuff). Someone's been snooping around BZ Quote
