Dear valued Members,
I hope you are able to enjoy peaceful and relaxed holidays! After one of the busiest seasons in years I am glad to have a few quiet days I can dedicate to JREF.
In an effort to revamp the entire website, I'm focusing on two things:
1. implementing a modern, minimalistic, and user-friendly theme for the forum and all related modules (gallery and classified section)
2. porting over our content pages to WordPress and render them "responsive" for mobile devices and tablets.
While 1.) can be accomplished within a few days, 2.) will probably take weeks or even months. Today, I have installed and customized the Metro theme for vBulletin which somehow borrows from Windows 8 and its tile design.
I understand that radical change can be demanding, which is exactly the reason I'm asking for your feedback. In order to test the new design, select the "JREF Metro Red Fluid" style from the style selector at the bottom of the forum. Mind that the style is a work in progress. I have tested it on different screen resolutions ranging from 2560x1080 and 1920x1080, down to the iPad and the iPhone, as well as on different browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Safari, IE, and Opera).
Let me know what you think, what you like, what needs to be changed and what's a tad hard to swallow. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
PS: this is the first thread posted using the Metro style. Editting seems to work flawlessly.
