*Definitely not active enough, but I could be sort of a "back-up"... {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 15:46, 4 September 2011 (UTC) | *Definitely not active enough, but I could be sort of a "back-up"... {{User:LightRoxas/Sig}} 15:46, 4 September 2011 (UTC) | ||
*I've been extremely inactive as of late (and will be even more inactive later; school), but I can certainly be a backup, like LightRoxas above me. I want to be a help, and I want to be involved, but I just can't say with real certainty what my schedule is going to be like. --{{User:LegoAlchemist/Sig}} 08:52, 5 September 2011 (UTC) | *I've been extremely inactive as of late (and will be even more inactive later; school), but I can certainly be a backup, like LightRoxas above me.

*Well, I'm active again, so I can help as well. - [[User:LevL|<span style="color:orange">'''Lev'''</span>]][[User talk:LevL|<span style="color:deepskyblue">'''L'''</span>]] 20:14, 7 September 2011 (UTC) | |||

Well, my idea has changed slightly, as what I originally tried to do was impossible to do correctly with only wiki code. I do, however, have a backup plan, but that may be somewhat hindered by my broken finger. I'll keep working, though. {{The Inexistentsig}} 23:56, 6 September 2011 (UTC) | Well, my idea has changed slightly, as what I originally tried to do was impossible to do correctly with only wiki code.

==Redesign== | |||
Now, before you begin critizing it, let me say my part. | |||
This format is new, and, to some of you, completely pitiful, due primarily to the fact that several of the pages have only a little content. However, I've studied other community portals, and the key appears to be to have the page uncluttered, with the content spread out. My format also allows users to actually "explore", and become completely immersed. It will also allow specific users to take care of certain sections. | |||
And, if this doesn't sway your opinions any, then, please, why don't we just try it out for a time? We can find people who rarely come here to view the portal, and offer their opinions (I have already begun gathering some). I'm completely open to suggestions, and new sections can be added in a heartbeat. | |||
Also, the pages will be renamed with <nowiki>{{DISPLAYTITLE}}</nowiki> when hosted here (Wikia doesn't have that). The images would also be more sensably named. | |||
---- | |||
Now, before I give you the link, the following must be done: | |||
#Log onto Wikia, on any wiki. | |||
#Make sure your skin is Monobook. | |||
#Go to [http://www.sandbox.wikia.com/ the Sandbox wiki]. | |||
#Go to your personal monobook.js, and copy the contents of [http://sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Inexistent/monobook.js this page] into yours. | |||
#[http://sandbox.wikia.com/wiki/User:The_Inexistent/Traverse_Town Enter Traverse Town, and begin exploring!] | |||

:Can I comment here? If not move it somewhere else. I really like your design TI and exploring is fine and such, but there should be at least some hints what can be found at the places you visit, one small sentence would be enough. For example: "Visit the Mailbox - Write the staff". It's a lot of clicking if you search for the right place and don't visit the Twilight Town often enough to remember it. --[[User:ShardofTruth|ShardofTruth]] 21:37, 17 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
::I agree. Doorsey had suggested adding more in- depth mouseovers, so I rewrote them to now include what the section contains. Hope that helps. {{The Inexistentsig}} 21:57, 17 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
I like it, mostly, but I don't think mouseovers are enough, even though they are quite good. You might have to use some small text in addition to those. --{{User:Neumannz/SigTemplate}} 21:47, 20 September 2011 (UTC) | |||
