Looking For Ideas To Upgrade An Old Board

[cassini]

First topic message reminder :

Hello Ape and Skouliki  

I thought I would ask you both seeing that you have done alot of work for me which I do appreciated  

I have had a good clear out of an old board I was using for archives, found a skin I could play around with the colours and changed the forum to Invison for a change. I done the header and avatar myself however maybe it could be improved.   If the header and avatar could be improved, I am open to ideas I do like the Olde English style writing just to have different look to the other two boards I have on forumotion.

Olde Forum to upgrade

Header

I am looking for a black background skin with screencappingzone in Olde English writing in a wave maybe in sky blue writing similar to the header  . The current blue background is from Microsoft Word however the blue I use for the board writing is this #1FFFF4 which is as near to the background colour of the header and avatar. The blues I have on my old forum, :#1FFFF4 #92BBD1 and the black #1E1E2A.

If you could try blue background black Olde English writing like I have now and black background blue Olde English.

As for the way it looks could I see two, the first as you see it now, and the second in a wave look please, with a reel of film at the end of the writing.

Buttons that relate to TV, camera, lights, (microphone New Topic), clapper board and (sissors for Edit) (megaphone for IP)
Other possible ideas of using some of the work you done on my other sites, profile traffic lights, like button, reputation lights, forum profile shields.

Just let your creative minds go into overdrive   and of course you both will get the credit for it 
If you want the screen caps deleted let me know

Seeing that Reporter Captures is now two years old, I want a break after seven years from news, sport and weather screen captures.

The theme for this site is Cinema, I have spent lots of time looking at You Tube and there are tons of clips and films that I can do screen captures. Also I want to add dramas and comadies to this list. There is no rush for this, as this will be a winter pass time hobby. Busy at work and at home at the moment however the more input from others would be great and of course you get the credit and as well as anyone else who adds their input.

It looks like the top line needs to be made a little larger to see the buttons a bit clearer, white FFFFFF
as this will be the clearest of the colours.



Editor buttons I think we will have a  Cinema theme, seeing Jenny claims that you do not have these anymore.
Colour Gold FFD700 for the background then for the icon button Black #1E1E2A

Also who is online button

[APE]

some of your items have copyright on them so we can not use them to make your buttons.

Also this is a lot to be made so it can take time as we do not have a lot of time on our hands.

Jenny said she will try and help out when she gets time,

Sadly we only deal with CSS files to make things happen on this forum but if we get time we will give it a go but some colours you have picked out like "GOLD" is not so easy to make as we would use a light orange and yellow's

[cassini]

I had a feeling that some of them had copyrights, however it is an idea to work on Iam happy with yellow or orange instead of gold I did not want to use white.

I know that you are busy work wise and homelife as well, I am the same here so there is no rush in your own time. I am not planning to open the forum up to members for a few months, I am open to other ideas.

Right now as you would have seen on the support forum we have big problems our servers have had big down time and we are working on them as we speak we are still only running on about 50% and some forums are still not working so my advice is not to try and do anything to your site until this is fixed as it could show up problems.

[cassini]

Ok thanks Ape, I am aware of it as it was on twitter as well as the Forumotion help panel
