[Max]

Welcome everyone to GSS's new design! I thank Jadoku for his work and all those who voted in the poll over the last week.

One noticeable site improvement I've already implemented are the URL aliases. You might have noticed that for the past several months, every site was loaded by an ID number in the URL, which made it very hard to remember URLs or to guess what page they were. So to remedy that I have made it so each page can also be identified by a logical URL, as you can see if you click the links on the menu to the left.

I will be going through the site and fixing up some things and updating links to the new alias format. If anyone finds anything broken send me an email or PM and I'll fix it.

UPDATE 11/24: All links have been updated to the new format. I realize that some people do not like this design or have dialup connections, and the solution is forthcoming, so please be patient.

I am going away until Saturday to spend time with family for Thanksgiving, so no updates until I return (though they will be BIG updates).

Whoa! That looks incredible. It's an uber cool web design.

[Someone Else]

Heh, I was at first shocked by the change, I thought you weren't goin to put it up 'till tomorrow. ^_^ But I really like it though! It's good to have a change.

[Zxor]

When is the new design of Jadoku's coming up?

EDIT: never mind, just saw it, good job

[Nick Presta]

Nice layout. It does look nicer with actual stuff than by itself.

[Linear]

=D Oh! That looks so awsome! n.n heheheh, we got a new layout! XD

[gsninja]

It really looks different from the original design. What a change.

[Elliott]

-The "Users Online" strip is a couple of pixels to short.
-Whats with the "_Site Content" thing? Will that be permanent?
-Will the Garet image always be there?
-I think the banner is far too tall, The top half isn't necessary.
-Should have put the slogan on the banner image.

Other than that, cool.

[Silo STATIC]

It's particularly creative. Though, I agree with Agatio that it could use some work, but other than that, keep it. ^_^

[Sea of Time]

Hooray! It looks awesome, Jadoku, way to go with the URL's Max!

[Someone Else]

Looks like Max updated the news.

Okay, See ya Saturday Max! I'm leaving for Thanksgiving tomorrow.

eh...the old one was ok, it was bland. Though, i like this one a lot better. Have a good thanksgivin g everyone!

[Tricky26]

Great layout. Really nice. but one problem:

On content pages (Such as GS Armor Guide) the Font is too big for the correct format. You should make the text smaller so it looks right.

[Issac_Zero2]

Great job Max...
Take your time on the changes though...
Just in time for Thanksgiving...

[Echo_djinn]

I think it looks great. Though I wonder if the garet image in the corner can be changed(most likely). It looks good Max and nice job Jaduko.

[Mallick]

Of COURSE it can be changed, Max had to put it in, he can take it out whenever, if ever, he wants.

Very nice, Max! I like it! I am glad you put it up before you left for Thanksgiving!

Dude calm yourself thats why I put "most likely"in brackets. I also liked the second place design. I know its really early for me to be asking but will there be another vote like this sometime soon? Not for the GSS design but maybe for the forums.

[Linear]

:blink: But it was good to have a bit a change. Good to have to change...sometimes. ^-^ nice!

[Mysterious Adept]

Wow! New Layout And some "Big" Changes Man I'm getting excited :D

Sorry, I didn't mean for my post to sound all un-calm and angry.

Anyways, the new lay-out is a great change, Max!

[Colonel Tycho]

Yo, mysterious adept, please shrink your sig picture... also, good job max and other person, the site layout has changed finally, in like a year in buisness, don't remember how long, but the first change... kind of a long wait. But, the first layout was extremely well made, compliments all around, but after a while i guess it did kind of get old... ah well.

[Golden Legacy]

Awesome! Congrats, Max, and excellent job, Jaduko.
Although, I agree with Colonol Tycho that the original design will always hold a special place…

* sigh *

Hope you’re enjoying your holiday, Max :P

[Elliott]

I prefer the old one actually. Easier on the eyes, and simpler, making it easier to navigtae.

[ForteGX]

The old one was nice, but it was a bit too old. This gives the site a fresh new feel to it.

Agreed, it needed a facelift and this skin does the trick.

[Mallick]

Template, layout, not skin. (I think.)

I think the new design is better, it gives the place a new life.
