"2nd thing"

yay, that navigation bar is BACK , again. I dont know why you removed it last time i told you to add it .-.
something else, right at the top of the "3rd thing" picture, you can see the blue dota2 icon, and next to it a bunch of ads, i dont know, but maybe u could remove them?
those werent there before, and they make a really big banner of ads on top and on bottom of topics. What do u think?

He hast to have those adds as every forum has to just so the forum can keep on running
Btw the buttons got smaller but the frame around them is the same XD

and how do you expect me to keep this forum alive ? nothing is free, so i have to make at least some revenue to pay for this site maintanance

And please forgive me, i actually made that navigation bar and accidentally removed it while adding and editing other stuff. Hope that won't happen again xd

Didn't I just explain why the adds are here XD

I went in details

All in all we said the same the ads can't be removed

Ok, so i was waiting until i collect few updates, so here they are. You probably noticed most of them:

1. Portal page redesigned; Added new widgets, new position, removed banner so it's kinda more easier to actually see news and everything.

2. Social widget; there will be this widget, following your every step, called "Share D2P Content! =)". This makes it much more easier to share our content with the world. So, once you find interesting topic here on D2P, feel free to like it on facebook or twitter.

3. Some stats below your posting avatar; as you can see, i have changed some things bellow your avatar. I have removed age field and added join date. Also, posts, join date and fav hero fields are now same colored, with only reputation being slightly different color.

4. Added top posters of this week widget; it can be found on forum page on the bottom right side.

5. From now on, you will be able to put special icons for your topic, you will notice them once you make new thread ;)

Not sure if i said everything, so i might edit this post in future. HF!

I still want you to try and fix the jump to and move to thing

Will try to think about smth. Actually i got an idea while writing this post.

Good work on it

As some of you probably noticed, forum was pretty much broken today due to my random experimenting.

After hours of mixing and designing stuff, i found very nice combination of colors and overall quality. So, head to the Forum and see those changes, and of course, give me some feedback.

So, what's actually changed:

Background of categories got resized from 80 px height to 65 px. Also, there are no pictures which represent name of category, now it's plane text, so that's why our navigation bar will actually have purpose. Descriptions of cats also changed.

Navigation bar will be redesigned tomorrow, along with some other stuff i have in mind. There is also that background issue when you watch somebodies profile (hard to read text).

That's all from me for today, see you tomorrow. GN!

The portal looks really nice, good job ava =)

about the navigation bar: it looks better now, i think that it would be soooo perfect if it looked just like the one on playdota.com. It is nice and simple. Also it is on the top of the page, not the bottom =P

I take credit for nagging avalon to fix the navigation XD

Oi!!! Portal looks great AVa!!
Love the the new icons In Dota2portal section.


Good job there!

^ I kinda read your post with an australian accent, weird eh?

GJ Ava, the portal,the navi bar, the text font, the resizing, omg this looks like a charm ,really pleasing to the eye

glad you like it. But of course you like it, it does look awesome

to top looks wierd I like the previuos

what part exactly

the text

nice new logo
though "Portal" is not that visible
could you try coloring it like... green
some builsh green, but make it look green, just try, i think it is a good idea, lol

or just change it to something more visible =)

why don'tcha make a small text link in each header of thread to refer us back to the subforum?

Links are placed on the left of ads on header and footer.

@howl, i ll try few other designs.

Avalon is currently trying to add that one - he said.

This one is excellent
