Logo @ Top Of Pages?

Administrator

And now for another question. We have the ability to put a logo at the top of our pages, although at the moment it isn't working on the forum page, but appears to work on all other pages. I played around with it today and took a couple of screen shots to show the difference.

To the left is what we've had for a long time - Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible). On the right is with the sticker/logo I posted about earlier. So, which do you prefer? Or, maybe the bull with the ring in his nose like is on the web browser's tabs?

Update: I discovered a mod I'd made in the header code on the home page, which is where the forum is embedded. The code is:

<style> .logo { display: none !important; } </style>

So I know how to put a logo on the forum's page - assuming we want to do so. But I'm remembering that we made that change on purpose, so we need to think through it before we jump in.

Thanks for the response, Angelo. We need people to tell us what they prefer.

This is all part of a "rebranding" effort. I don't like the "Gary's Garagemahal" bit as it isn't about me but is about "we". So as we prepare to move to different servers, which means the domain names need work, it is time to rethink everything.

Ok folks, it is unanimous - two votes for the logo and no votes against.

Seriously though, I turned the logo back on. Be aware that that may not be the final logo, but that's another topic for discussion.

Also, I took the code out of the forum page's header and you can now see the logo there as well. IIRC we put that code in because it was taking up room at the top of the page. But with the way it is set the logo goes away as you scroll, so maybe that's no longer an issue?

Anyway, input please! Do you like having the logo instead of Gary's Garagemahal (the Bullnose bible)"? And do you want it on the forum pages? Perhaps I should create a poll?

Re: Logo @ Top Of Pages?

I like an image at the top from a branding standpoint, that seems like a good idea... but I'd think you'll need to review the mobile site before making any final decisions.

What I *don't* like so much is the word wrapping in the text heading, e.g. Title Words (the
Bullnose bible)

Chris - Thanks.

I don't like the word-wrap either, but haven't figured out how to fix it. However, the logo solves that problem.

As for the mobile sites, here are some screenshots from my iPhone X with Safari. First is the forum in portrait mode w/o scrolling. Second is in landscape with a bit of slow scrolling, which allows the logo to stay. Third is with more or fast scrolling, and that causes the logo to disappear.

To me that is acceptable, but I want to hear from others, and especially those who basically only use a mobile device. Is this a problem?

Dane - Thanks. But can you say the bit about the pumpkin in the Almost Final Sticker thread so we can keep track of it?

I think we've discussed this before but can we remove the grey banner and the two search boxes in the top left?

I think we can remove the search box, but I'll have to do some research on it. As for the banner, I'll have to look into that as well.

Might not get to it right now, so if not please remind me.

But I did just turn a search function off, so which one did I kill?

Scott - I think I deleted the gray banner. But you tell me.

I deleted line 39 in "No Header" which said "<div id="banner"><div class="banner-content"></div></div>"

As shown below:

Looks great! Thanks for doing that - not a big deal but saves some real estate.

If we want to move these posts to Search Tools we can since I derailed the original purpose.

I think you turned off the magnifying glass one (Weebly) in the top right as I don't see that icon anymore.

Here are the two I am referring to. I hid the "header" div so I could screen capture them.

I think the top one should go since it's never really been accessible. The freefind was but the header must have grown a bit with the logo since it's now covered.

From a clean perspective I think just Weebly and Nabble should survive but I know you found a learning curve when searching in Weebly using quotes.

I havent been on in a while but I like the logo.

Kind of sad to see "The Bullnose Bible" disappear but I will try to accept change and move on.

Sam - We are working on a logo, and the one above at the moment isn't it. Not sure what it'll be, but maybe tomorrow we will start a poll to pick it, so watch for it and make sure you vote.

As for the Bullnose bible, we aren't saying it is gone. The URL will probably be bullnosebible.com and we'll probably use that tag in various places.
