Changes & general tidying up.

Well, Chit-Chat and the Barracks are redundant, so probably should be combined.

On the other hand, I recommend keeping Allied and Axis weapons as separate boards. I have no idea what to do with the Weapons and Technology board, except to move it to the Weapons sub-forum for now.

Good idea, this house cleaning.

P.S. The only fault with the header picture is that it represents only half the war.

 

I would certainly embrace a pre-war section. All of those lovely 1930's armoured cars... mmm

Post-war is good too. I would like to know more about Korea and Suez.

 

Just so long as there is no consideration for using your avatar in the header, Von Poop.

Put pics of obscure leaders and equipment and require new members to identify most or all of them before they can post more than introductions.:icon-mrgreenbandit::sign_lame:

 

The pre-war forum should be called inter-war to distinguish it from the first lot.
An interesting time both politically and from a technology standpoint.

 

I think that's Owen's main prob?
Might see if I can squeeze Zukov or a T34 in there, maybe even something from the pacific .

I was referring to the Pacific as the "other half of the war," not the Eastern Front. Since the current header is so well designed, it will take some careful planning to revise it.

I think just 'pre' will do, we all know ww2's the main event here.

Good idea Slip! a series of battlegrounds, vehicles, personalities... and then a 45 question quiz as part of the registering process?
Maybe not .

45? I was thinking 50 or maybe even 100 Qs:wow:and a short essay, say 2-3000 words?

 

I had a look and as you say it's rather hard to fiddle with, kind of full already.
Any artistic types out there feel like having a go at a new one?
Maybe something with a similar tone, but a wider perspective?

(the current header appears to be 800X190 pixels, I shall check that any new image must be that size but presumably it's a good guideline.)

Cheers,
Adam.

It is full, and adding something might yield a too-cluttered image. To include another theater, such as the Pacific, may entail replacing something in the current header, which, BTW, is too narrow for the forum format. The left side of the header starts to repeat itself on the right, at least on my screen.

It looks to me that the site is set to viewed at 1024x768 resolution and it cannot stretch the header pic in higher resolutions.

 

The Pacific Theater should definitely be represented in some way on the header. I like the ideas being generated so far. Keep it up lads!

 

I probably have no right........but how about a women's stories...it could be called The Women of WW2.

 

Why not use some of that space at the bottom of the header? There's loads of grey at the bottom of the screen which is full of useless information. You could have western at the top and the pacific or eastern at the bottom. Or vice versa.

Great idea Debra. And a worthy addition it would be too

 

Possible Forums:

The Lloyd Fredendall Campaign forum - Gives people a chance to discuss disastrous campaigns and find excuses as to why they failed

The Adolf Hitler Excuses Forum - Posters can incessantly rant on about the incompetence of everyone except themselves and will only listen to posters who agree with them!!!!!

Benito's Forum - Where a poster no matter what they do always make the wrong choice and fail to post ANYTHING successfully.

General Percival Forum - Where the poster quits the forum, even though they have a superior post tally because someone with an inferior post count insulted them and were convinced that it was in their best interest to quit!!

sorry I'm rambling now!! LOL!

 

Some funny ideas there Gotthard. :wink:
