I just wanted to give my opinion on the new website design on Ashwinder and Occlumency. I prefer the design still active on Serpensortia and Wolfsbane (for example). I really miss the banners for the other sites that were listed along the left side, and I think the new layout (with the site names just listed in the center) is less attractive. Of course, it's still easy to navigate and all of the information is readily accessible, I just prefer the other layout more. Thanks for giving us a place where we can express our views, and thanks for such a great group of sites! Smile

I didn't really like it at first either because you have to scroll farther down to see things, and the banners on the side were very attractive, but after a couple of days, it grew on me. All of the help stuff is right at the top now, so maybe new people will be able to easier access some stuff. Laughing

I understand your point. But I really miss the banners! LOL Smile They're so unique and eyecatching, that I miss them the most amongst the changes. I guess I just hate to see them wasted... Wink

You know...come to think of it... When they first changed over, where they have just the name links now, didn't they have small banners? I thought they did, and I just never saw them again. LOL. I keep my skin permanently on another color, so I'm not really sure if that has anything to do with me not seeing them or what. I'll have to check that out. hehe

I just logged in today and was greeted with, what I think, is by far one of the best site updates yet. I haven't had a chance to check on the individual areas such as Ashwinder yet, but the front loading page for Sycophant Hex looks wonderful. I love the layout and the image of Snape scribbling away at his desk at the very top.

I'm glad you mentioned that. I never log in to the main page! I have Ashwinder as my fave and just go to other links from there. I think that is a cute scene with Snape though. Adorable actually. Laughing

Today I noticed the button 'Random Fic' is missing. I hope that will only be temporarily. I found many good stories by random.

The green layout of Ashwinder is lacking the Random Story link at the top navigation bar that the default gray layout still has.

Thanks for informing me. When we have our new archiving script I'll make sure that all the skins have the appropriate buttons.

I have the same problem as Sihaya. The Random fic button on top is missing.
