    Hi all,

    Below is a quick video to show you a look into the future of the website, but first i want to point a few little things out.
    • This will not replace the look we have now, it's just a second style to give more freedom.
    • You will see the menu follows you down the page, to make getting around faster.
    • Users can pick from some preset colors.
    • Users can pick from some preset background.
    • Users can edit some parts of the sites colors.
    Last up, the video below is still work in process so that mains some things are not added or might get edited by the time it goes live later this year.

    Also please give feed back, good or bad.


    Please view in full screen and full 1440 p

    A vibrant red color would surely look great. What ever color is chosen will be great. Blessings:satu:

    This is now live, you can pick to return to the old style via the style picker at the bottom left of the site.

    i have made this the main style right now as I want people to see and use it to help make any fixes or edits based on feedback.

    Great New Look It's fresh and clean I like it. A bit of feedback for the rewards section rewards that have gone and are no longer available completely remove them from the server and database making it faster and putting less strain on the page and making the rewards section cleaner.
    Thanks.

    The old rewards being listed is part of home history, also the rewards database is only a few mb in size so it's not under any strain, plus you only load the rewards you pick to view :)

    Also it's handy listing old rewards as people try and find items they have seen in Home, and they can see it was a old reward.

    Happy you like the new style :)

      It feels a bit ugly, but couldbe just the sudden change... it also could ust be my mood.

      As long as it is serviceable it is fine for me. I stay at this site as it works for me using my android S tablet, my android phone., & my ps3.

      & just to say that always I had to select "request desktop site" before, & quick otherwise the site would crash the browser, but not it is running fine :)

      Ty for having the site here.

      the color choices with the names of the Seven Sins, genius. love it, this site looks absolutely fantastic with the new look and its nice that we can adjust the front page (at least) to how we want. this will be fun to see how many actually like the New & Improved YourPSHome.net site.

        Looks real nice--sleek, stylish and modern. I like the color options and transition effects in the banner. :thumbup:

        If you can post me a screen shot of where you mean i can add the css class for the text to the color picker.

        It be nice to see screen shots of what colors people have come up with.

        Also i still need to work the header background image so you can swap its color also.

        Well, I just mainly mean other posts that I see and when I type my own unless I change the font color to black.

        umm....I forgot how to do a screenshot again. :facepalm:

        Oh and also areas like the times under the threads of last posts. It's just a real faint gray.

        Awesome job overall CB.

        Ditsy dots background is pretty adorable, but the ads at the top, they "swivel" in a lovely animated style :)

        Just an FYI… your "Ads" feature doesn't fully appear on my iPhone 5 browser. Part remaind cut off in portrait mode. Resizing also doesn't alter it.

        (Initially thought the same in landscape mode; but hitting the resize button did the trick. Unfortunately you can't get to it in landscape.)

        Only other issue I've noticed is that typing via the browser is extremely sluggish.

        Know it's still a WIP… but overall looking good still. Thanks!
