Redesign Option

[bravest]

After the redesign was released, many people have requested and quietly suggested a option on the site that allows a person to change the appearance of a dynasty, most likely between the new design and the old, white and blue one. I am formerly proposing one of these options:

1. The dynasty maker has the choice, when they are first creating their dynasty, to have the skin be white and blue (old school) or black, silver, and yellow (new school). If this is implemented, I suggest that it can be edited through 'Dynasty Info' on each member's dynasty, that way only the owner of the dynasty can edit the skin.

2. Let the viewer select the skin, via a dropdown menu on each page. This way, anyone can simple, with a click of the mouse, access the old and new designs.

Any chance of these being tossed around to Stephen? Oh, and any thoughts?

Brilliant Bravest, this would be cool for those who don't like it (me) and even gives time to used to the newer one, until we all love it and are over the old skool one

[Alex Confer]

I can dig it. Give the option to paid members if need be.

I only want to see one of these ideas used if it will make the majority of the redesign-haters happy, which I'm sure it will. In fact, maybe Stephen can work on an alternate redesign, exactly like the current black one, but instead use the white and blue color-scheme. It would basically be the sup'd-up old school version in the form of the redesign.

[Buzz Killington]

That would be cool. I think that idea has been thrown around a bit (I remember saying it once or twice.)

This is all I really want as far as the new layout goes. If this gets done all my issues with the new layout will be gone. ;D

i concur with this message

That'd be nice.

[bravest]

So which option are you guys leaning for?

1. Forcing each viewer to view your dynasty in a certain scheme (painless for the dynasty-maker).
2. Allowing each viewer to choose which scheme to view it in (potentially disastrous, yet awesome for the casual viewer).

[Buzz Killington]

Number 1, by far.

[Alex Confer]

Number 2, but note which scheme it looks best in.

That's what I'd love to see... That way, Stephen's hard work gets some facetime, while any maker of any dynasty can simple add this to their dynasty:

Best viewed with the 'Old School' design.

[Da Rafeter]

There should be an option for the dynasty-maker to set a default if you're letting the viewer view both styles incase it doesn't look good on one and they rate on that (probably be added anyway)

Also, by the looks of things the font colors are different, with the old skool having black font and the new skool having white, will we be able to have the same font color on both?

*deletes other post* Yeah, maybe if the user got to choose the default layout type it goes to first when clicked on this could work real well.

Edit: I guess Da Rafeter beat me to posting this idea. I guess I must be going slow today or something.

Number 2, with it going to a defaut that the creator sets.

[Freak93]

Let the creator set how they want there pages viewed.

Indeed...that is the best way to go.

[darjarbinx]

Which is the original version...

[Jami]

How about option #3...quit complaining when the redesign isn't even out yet?
