There is some layout changes in the works for the regional NPN forums.

In an effort to make navigation to the main NPN site easier, and to identify that we are part of the NPN forum, the regional forums will be wrapped in the NPN skin.

The changes can be previewed here:

If you guys want, we may consider resizing the RMNP graphic and/or modifying the header.

The changes look the same. Is the link correct? Or am I just stoopid? (don't answer that...)

I won't answer that... :biggrin:

This link has the NPN menu bar on top: http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/bbs1.cgi?a=vf10

This link is the current layout, w/o menubar: http://www.naturephotographers.net/imagecritique/bbs.cgi?a=vf10

Yep, I'm stoopid!

There's a helluva lot a lists at the top of revised page. NPN links. List of states. RMNP links. Forum links. Certainly makes getting to NPN easier, and I guess the eyes will get used to it.

What about a revised version of the header graphic, without so much text (the size seems fine)? You could even move the participating states to the "observe these guidelines" text. Better yet, throw out the states and integrate the RMNP links into the header graphic. Cleans it up a bit. But the anal retentive graphic designer will shut up now. :smile:

Since "change" is the political thing to do--how about doing something about our
headline banner. I have tried to love it, but it just stinks. I clean my glasses every
time, and it still looks like viewing thru a cheap window on a frosty morning. In addition,
it doesn't print on a bumper sticker very well. It is great, except it needs to loose the
frost.

How about we nominate Jesse to design a new banner. :smile:

Yea I think It might be time to update... but perhaps we should do another header competiton? We did one way back in '06 when the Groups Merged.
Just a thought...

I'm game for having another header competition but lets get through the fall colors contest first.

Michael's idea sounds like a great idea for after the holidays.

OK, the new layout is up and running. I think it looks great.

We can definitely have another competition and vote for a new header. We can even re-enter the current header.
