Yeah we are planning to give our crier an own website where every new issue will be shown and archived. Here is the first version of the website's design. Please shoot off your thoughts.

The link to the CGs has an extra / at the end of the URL.

Other than that, looks good.

A bit plain though...
Maybe add some of the gradients from the forum? I don't know.

Nice

I like it better than posting the Crier in the forum.

Yay! It doesn't look plain anymore! It looks clean.

The border on right side seems messed up though. The menu makes the border get offsetted.

Could you give me a screenshot, David with your browser and resolution info?

Browser: Firefox
Resolution: 1280x1024 - window was set to full screen. It's odd though... if I resize the window, the lines move around and some sizes it works great, while others it doesn't.

(Yeah, I hate gifs, too, but the way Irfanview saves pngs is too complicated for Windows to understand

and I don't want to fire up the GIMP to take a screenshot.)

Hmm, there are some white lines around the WFG logo on top - looks like it doesn't blend properly with the background.
Besides from that, I do not see anything offensive to my eye - pretty good work, Tim

I like the idea

They stop moving around when I resize the screen now, but they are still off a few pixels (screenshot stays the same)

It looks kinda crappy and it's a 2 min PS job... Come on, you'll have to agree that it can be more original...

I think it looks cool.

Anyway...

The border seemss to be fixed more-or-less now...

They never disappear, but still shuffle around a bit when I resize the window. Sometimes parts are 1px, sometimes parts are 2px. And at a few sizes, some segments are back down to 0px.

If you don't like it, feel free to make a new one. We'll replace it and stick your name in the news

I like everything as it is now except for RAW not being there.
