To integrate or not integrate--that is the question

[Matt]

No it isn't!! The question is what is "integration"?

Integration is a content management system that I am using on the rest of the pages--you can get an example of what I mean on any page.

news (http://www.thedarktower.org/news)
comics (http://http://www.thedarktower.org/comictower)
home (http://www.thedarktower.org)
collections (http://www.thedarktower.org/collections)

Basically it gives us a navigation, random image and stuff like that on the side of the forums. For this, we would only use the left like on the home page.

The reason I am considering it is because it would create a nice way to cross reference the forums with the rest of the site.

So vote away, do you guys want to see this?

[Daghain]

No.

[Matt]

:lol:

I KNEW you wouldn't want me to Daghain.

Care to explain why for everyone else's benefit?

[Daghain]

TOO MUCH VISUAL CLUTTER. :)

[MonteGss]

I like the message boards like they are. As an active member, I visit the other pages of the site often, so I don't think it necessary to have any additional material on the page while I am in the forums.

Aaaaamen, sister.

It is OK. BTW, the Home link is broken. It has a double HTTP.

[Daghain]

I feel so vindicated. :lol:

[Matt]

Where was the link Jerome?

EDIT--

Oh, on this page. :lol:

Got that fixed

[sarah]

I voted yes. I like it. :D

[Matt]

I do too, but I want to make sure its not going to cause a lot of problem.

The vote is pretty close now. :nana:

[Darkthoughts]

Not too much pressure to vote then...:lol:

I'm not voting because I like the boards as they are, but it also wouldn't bother me to have this new feature.

[Daghain]

*cue eerie music*

Come to the darkside, Darkthoughts. :lol:

[Brice]

I have no idea what you are talking about

[Darkthoughts]

*Gives Brice a cup of tea and a cigarette to kick start his brain* :P

Must...resist...Daghain...:lol:

[Daghain]

:lol:

[Patrick]

If people like it, I suppose it's fine, but personally I don't need it.

[sarajean]

i say no. i have a hard enough time seeing everything without the horizontal scroll as it is.

i also vote that the apostrophe be removed from "upload image's."

that is incorrect, it should be "upload images."

[Matt]

I can do that :D

[sarajean]

thanks matt!

[Matt]

Okay, it looks like the vote is "no" on this idea. We only got 9 but I am going to go with the outcome.

[sarajean]

you fixed the apostrophe! :wub:

[Matt]

Yes I did :huglove:

Please continue to point that stuff out, you know how I am on spelling and grammar. :lol:

[sarajean]

i'm sure that Patrick and i can keep you in check. :D

[Daghain]

I just go fix his stuff on the wiki. :lol:

[Arthur Heath]

Whats the worst that can happen? You integrate into the new format and if people dont care for it you rollback. No, not Wallmart rollback, you know what I mean people....

[Frunobulax]

I voted no. Keep things as streamlined as possible.

[Frunobulax]

But the big yellow smiley face....what will he do?!?

[Matt]

It actually ends up being like...a half inch on the left. :lol:

But I will go with the masses (in this case) and leave it off. :grouphug:

[Frunobulax]

A half inch is a lot to a drafter! :P

[Matt]

feels like a lot in your ear or behind too. :lol:

[Frunobulax]

In yer ear, for sure. Luckily I haven't had it up the ol' chute yet.

[Matt]

That's what I hear anyway.
