Hey everyone... How about changing the look of hellboundhackers? It's just a suggestion. I think it would be cool  
I also think it would be cool to explain exactly what I mean.
And it would be pretty nice if I could use full words all of the time.

What does the current layout lack? HBH is not going to change it's layout for kicks 'n giggles, there has to be reasoning behind it.

there will be new themes coming soon since we had a theme competition and i have a few submissions to upload over the course of the week.
themes just change graphics and colour changes... but why would we want any other changes?
obviously the layout isnt going to change as the layout is carefully thought out for usability and cant really go any other way. |

Usually really popular websites don't just change theme; They change the look like buttons n' shit, but not a theme altogether. I agree, something new would be nice but I don't think the whole theme should be redone (meaning colors mostly). |

Oh, alright... I'll GreaseMonkey up a scblockedript to do it and post it in the Code Bank later this week. Got some other stuff to take care of.
As for the new layout / look / whatever, I partially agree... in that I find myself scrolling down constantly to see what really matters to me. Articles shouldn't be tucked in corner hell. Code Bank shouldn't just be a single link... it should have highlights at the top. Shoutbox is more important to me than pretty much everything else on the right side, profile and such could be tucked in the header. Forum posts should take up less than 50% of my viewable area; just because they are the most noticed aspect of the site doesn't mean they would be if they weren't the most glaring feature on the home page.
I'd cook up a new layout, but I know it will get shot down, so there's no point.
I still check PMs from time to time.

I agree. Personally, I think a layout similar to darkmindz would be most efficient. That site has recent posts, articles, and codes right on the main page where it's convenient.

Darkmindz, or any other site out there? Think about it...

in terms of adding more relavent up-to-date content to the homepage. this is being addressed in a big hbh upgrade that will be happening over within a month or two.
things that will be featured on the homepage include:
- latest articles
- latest challenges
- latest member to complete a challenge
- top 5 ranked members
- latest code
- latest news
- latest HoF
The homepage will not be completely "community/portal", as not to put off new members, but it will focus more on site updates and recent additions than it currently does.
i will also over the course of this week and next be uploading themes from the latest competition and announcing the winner. |

Yeah. i was thinking of not just the theme but the whole layout.. I think we all can help here right ? its worth spending some time HBH by its members also there are some difficulties i also face. Like every time i login it directs me to homepage. Also the homepage having links rather than summaries. i think Home / News should be seperated to Home, News and home page should contain not just the links but some data also.
like the latest features and latest challengers and stuff. latest Articles and stuff like that

New themes are coming out. There's a theme competition where people just went and changed colors around to their liking. Cheese already mentioned he's going to be announcing a winner and uploading them soon.

Reply with details, and... ehm.. Yeah, Details!
Seriously, do you even care? |
