New Design for greenUPGRADER

11 by LiveOAK Staff on March 20, 2009

greenupgradernewlook

Good morning!  As you can see we have a new design here at greenUPGRADER.  Now I'm not exactly a technical genius so there are a few problems that I'm working on.  Particularly for you Internet Explorer 6 users I have heard that the site looks crazy.  I'm working on fixiing it, but it's going to take time.  I used up all my days off working on the new design and now I have to go to work so... please be patient.  I am sorry about the inconvenience but this is one of the costs of DIY.

If you are using Internet Explorer 6 you really should upgrade to a new version or download Firefox because IE6 is not only wrought with security flaws, it also doesn't play nice with a lot of sites now a days.

If you are using another browser besides IE6 and you notice something stange I'd really appreciate it if you could email me and let me know.  Send an email to contact at greenupgrader dot com.

    I liked the old design better. Especially the picture sidebar. =(

      Ask and ye shall receive… well, I brought the pic sidebar back. I’m working on a way to make it look a little better and be a little bit more dynamic.

      For now were going to stick with the new look, besides the sidebar is there anything particular you liked better about the old design or you’d like to see different?

    Hey! I like the cleanness of this new design! But I miss the search bar- it made it easy for me to make sure I wouldn’t be duplicating topics…

      Hi BethBot,

      I didn’t even see your comment before… Sorry about that. Anyway, the search bar is back!

    Congrats on the slick design! DIY redesigns always take longer than anticipated, that’s for sure.

      Thanks Preston. It was a long time coming, and I have a feeling I’ll be working the kinks out for a while but I’m looking forward to getting back to writing and some of our new projects.
