UnionVGF Front Page Discussion

[Plainview]

Well, we have a front page. As the site grows, contributors will contribute everything from news to opinion pieces. I hope everyone enjoys the new additions to the site. As a thank you to everyone involved, I am having our first every giveaway.

Enjoy the site guys and gals!

Plainview

Looking great. Nice and clean.

Also I'm loving the PS4 release countdown looks great (Even though I pre-ordered the X1 )

 

[Plainview]

You can only have one countdown clock and the PS4 is the next big thing since GTA 5 already dropped.

Very nice Plainview. Can't wait to see where the page goes from here!

 

[Vapor]

Great job Plainview! Looking forward to reading people's articles and opinion pieces!

It looks great. I'm amazed how fast this website has shaped up. Thanks for all your hard work Plainview.

The front page looks good, Plainview. The Union is now complete. Good timing, with the console launches coming up. I hope the forum members volunteer to write content for the front page. I think that'll help keep the forum and front page tied together, rather than drifting apart like they did at TXB.

The contest is a nice bonus. I like that countdown calendar, too. I actually didn't realize the launch was only 7 weeks away.

Looking good!

Only one sucks, but PS4 is launching first so it's understandable , can it be set per theme?

So we get like a 2 month clock for the PS4 and a 2 week clock for the X1

 

[Plainview]

Can't be set per theme. It's global. Sorry guys.

No problem, just thought I'd ask I have my own clock set up here: http://www.timeanddate.com/countdow...p0=256&fg1=4deb17&fg2=000&msg=Xbox+One+Launch

That'll make it seem like it goes by faster. If we had to watch it for 7 weeks it would seem like we're not really getting anywhere. 2 weeks though, that'll fly by!

I see we've dropped "the official TXB forum refugee site" moniker too. I like the new look. Almost 15k posts too!

Just shows that the PS4's clock is 250% more powerful than the XB1's.

PS4 clock is faster than X1's, time travel capabilities confirmed

Unknown sources have confirmed this post has more gpu that both consoles combined.

I win the next gen.

Looking great!

 

[2poor]

excellent work! unlike the TXB front page, I'll actually use this one!

 

[Soldier Gryphon]

Site looks excellent Plainview. Nice job!

 

[MrSnrub]

I like it, but is there any way to just go straight to the forum home?

 

[Plainview]

Bookmark it?

 

[Andy]

I thought at first I might bookmark the forums, but then I noticed you can click "What's New" on the front page, and it is equivalent to hitting "New Posts" on the forum. So there's really no need (for me, anyhow) to bookmark the forums, since I can get where I need to with the same number of clicks.

I like arriving at the front page first. Seems ashame to bypass all that work, and there is always a good news story up (speaking of which, I need to go read about Contrast while I'm having my morning coffee...).

 

[Plainview]

I aim to make the front page worthwhile bu being having the latest news up there as soon as possible.

Doing a great job so far. I'm actually surprised how much you have up there already. I expected maybe 1 or 2 articles in the first 2 days and it'd pick up after that, but you're really going above and beyond.
