I don't know if it's just me but some members of vizzed board have some really sloppy layouts. Some layouts have so much text in them that it's so unattractive and hard to pick out the actual post from the layout. And some members have images in the background that make the text in front of it hard to read.

So, rules are:
1) Make sure that it's easy to read the text which is on top of the background within your layout. You should not require the user to have to highlight the text in your layout in order to read it

2) Don't have a huge layout full of useless stuff such as tons of text and images. Keep this stuff to a minimum. If you need to express yourself in detail, do so in your bio.

3) Please make the content of your actual post stick out from the layout itself. If I can't tell right away what is your actual post content and what is your layout, something isn't right.


I hate to be the bad guy here but I gotta be the one to layout the rules in order to keep this place more eye friendly. If you guys with layouts that fall under these 3 rules don't make some changes within a week I will delete your layout and if you try to put the layout back I will disable your ability to make a layout.

Hope you guys understand. Thanks.

I havnt reuploaded pics for my layout yet.. (same with IW04).

David, your last comment kinda did make you sound like a bad guy. I have emailed a few people about there messy layouts, they just ask me to make them one.. . I'd make heaps more, but im busy enough as it is.

Would you call my layout containing useless information? I thought it was a programing masterpiece..

Yours is fine bigbob. If I would have said this in a friendly way no one would have taken me seriously. This way people realize it's a big deal and I don't want the board to look messy like a white trash trailer house

(no offense to anyone who lives in a trailer house)

Remlee, I think you could possibly do without them lower pics in it. Maybe a <br> tag above and below where your post will be, to add padding.

BigBob85, there's nothing wrong with wanting to have a readable layout. I don't blame David for making this thread -- it's eye-soaring have to sift through text in both the header and sig to find the real post, huge pictures in the sig, or pictures not showing up.

Remlee: Good choice for putting the background behind the text. The picture in your sig wouldn't be so bad if it didn't appear as if it was squashed vertically (and it just sorta looks out of place, maybe a border around it would also help) - this makes it sorta hard to look at
1 or 2 pictures are fine if they are done in a neat way.

Maybe I should hire someone to make a few layuts for the "Premade Layouts" option located in the "edit layout" page. There's currently only 2 to select from, both of which I've made but it'd be good to have more so people who don't know html can select a premade layout and than just edit the layout from there to personalize it.

Is my layout okay? I like it vewy much. ;P

In another random note, Dave, the premade layouts do NOT work. I've tried them leads me to an error and logs me out. I dunno.
And since I'm on Errors, anyone know why when I click 'New Posts' it leads me to a blank page with the URL in it?

I see the problem with the edit layout feature, it leads to the wrong URL, I can fix this myself (surprisingly).

As for New Posts, strangely enough it seems to not work in Firefox, not sure why but I use IE so it doesn't affect me.


Neyro: You were one of the people that I thought of when making this thread, as well as 4 other members (3 now).
