So what do you think of the new site?

Thoughts?

I'm impressed with it, but I think that the dark gold text is a bit hard to read on the black background.  Is there a way to adjust that so it pops a little bit more?

Kudos for the upgrade!

I searched on "porky midget", and thankfully the search function doesn't go back that far.

I always liked seeing the night's set times on the front page (especially for nights like tonight when I am actually going to the show)…am I missing that now?

My question is about the actual 9:30 site, not the forum. Thanks.

We're working on that right now and that should be fixed in a day or two.

gay.  satan.  lol.  brian.  dupek.  thatguy.  obama.  hot topic.  radiohead.  smashing pumpkins.  the pixies.  the smiths.  wine on your lips.  piss on your head.  post of the day, post of the week.  nkotb like everything ween.  what's playing in ny instead of dc?  five million died today, what songs go with that?  dar sucks, nissan sucks, verizon sucks, merriweather sucks, black cat's ok.  indie this, indie that.  walkonby is a nonstop brat.

Change has always been something for me to get used to. Not too sure if I like the new smiley faces for the board. Plus, I miss being able to automatically reply at the bottom of a thread, but I'm sure I'll get over it.

I also agree callat about the dark gold lettering. It's a bit tricky to see.

As for the website,  I like how it looks like the front of the club when I get on the site. But one thing I haven't seen yet are the set times on the front page. I think that's one feature that was always super useful, so my suggestion  is bring that back. If it's already on the site, then please tell me where it is.

I kind of agree about the text color but I think a lot of it depends on the lighting in your room at the time. Could be a bit staining in dimmer light. Certainly beats that old purple on black which was impossible to read! On the old, the orange was ugly as sin but at least it was easy to read.

oooh, oooh, first to be be mean, first to be mean.  someone already mentioned that, helen keller.

I like the new site and the facade photo design.  Takes a minute to orient to find all the info but it's pretty well laid out.  I like floor paneling on the side to give it the personal touch…all it needs now is some red plastic cups strewn about and some bobbing heads.  

visually, the new 930 website is a bit cluttered.  the different fonts and the background images on either side of the screen that don't match the center content's look are the biggest visual annoyances for me.  suggestion: trim down the number of fonts used, and ditch the faux-wood flooring and blue blocks in the margins… go with solid black background.

love the merch section, and the fact that you used staph as models and that they were posed around the club  8)

it would be best to stick with one background for the forum, having a different background the different screens seems a bit over kill

i like how in the one group picture, the girls are like, "look i'm smiling in this mold infested looking basement bar,"  and the guys are like, "i don't smile, because that would be gay . . . in this "who cares what a bar looks like as long as it has booze."

I agree! Also, something else I just realized is that all my messages are gone :( Is it possible to get them back?

See, I love the basic design of the panelling of something on the sides but I am not at all thrilled about the wall nor the floor, though they both work very well design wise. In no way do I think it's too cluttered. They are not busy. They are simplistic design elements. My problem is that I just don't want to look at that ugly, dirty wall nor the floor. Think I'd rather see something like the old blue and black stage lights from the old board or something stage oriented once inside. Besides, once I'm in the club, I want to see the stage, not the floor. Maybe even just the screens from a PA system. Very simple, balanced (stage wise) and yet has a simplistic design element that is show oriented instead of gazing at the floor. I might be a Shoegazer but it's not the floor I'm interested in.  8)

LOL

Sorry, no. This was addressed weeks ago with a sticky message at the top of the forum telling everyone that during the migration to the new forum you would lose any private messages and to save anything you wanted to keep.

You can always adjust your browser window size to get rid of the sides all together.

Okay, I totally missed that message. Haven't been around a whole lot but have dropped in of recent and never saw it. Must have been hidden, unintentionally. Probably would have been best addressed with a special notice email to all members (unless they opted out of such things) but that's water under the bridge now.
