Does everyone like the changes I am making on the site?

Let me know? If not make suggestions? Maybe you'd like me to use different pictures? Is it too much? Maybe less is more? Is there anything else you guys would like me to add? How about the scrolling announcement on the homepage? Is it annoyning to anyone? I want everyone to voice their opinions so we are all happy here and it feels like home.

I want to add a link to Matt's myspace and facebook page on the homepage but I can't seem to figure it out or find directions on how to do it. So if anyone knows how please PM with directions. Thanks!

As you see I added a Get On Board Thread for you FF lovers (whatever that is I'm assuming fu** faces?). I hope you like?

I'm still working on getting a radio up so we can listen to Matt's beautiful music...hopefully soon!

Jenna, thanks so much for this site!! Good luck adding more features....I am an idiot about this kind of thing so can offer no help!!! I really appreciate your hard work.

LOL... it started out meaning "finishing face" but it's pretty much turned into what you said haha

and you are doing a great job by the way!
I love the little music player that popped up!

Thank you! It sucks because everytime you leave a thread it turns off. I am still working on trying to get it to stay on. So bare with me. Did it come on automatically for you?

Yep just automatically started playing! Nice surprise

it looks fantastic!(:

Thanks everyone. I swear I am almost done making changes. I hope no one here has an adjustment disorder.

I am trying to make a homepage but I'm having a little trouble making a banner and getting the stupid thing to show up. It will take me some time but I'll get it.

I'm also still working on the whole radio thing...for cellcerts and having the music stay on throughout the whole board. Please everyone vote in the poll on the Nothing About you is Small thread. I really need to know if we will have volunteers to source the cellcerts. The program I need to buy is around $100 and I don't want to spend it if we can't get enough people to source the calls. So even if you vote no that would be helpful. That way I can have an idea of how many people want to participate...thank you!

I hope everyone likes the new backround. I thought it was very fitting.

hey jenna,
i really like the piano keys background. it alludes to matt, but in a nice, subtle, not overwhelming way. keep it!!!

also, i am having a hard time adjusting to these boards because i love how the AI boards put the little red boxed numbers next to the topics that have been commented on since i last visited them... its just easier to stay on top of conversations that way... is there ANY way you can do something like that here? i get a little overwhelmed with all the topics and wanting to see everything when i come here, but i really like how you have subdivided things with very creative names!

also, is there something like "show newest posts first" that we can click once on a conversation?

dont get me wrong, i like everything you're doing, just making suggestions...

thanks!!!

Well for me I know there are new posts when the pictures of Matt are gone and the little flag like icon is there. This is not happening for everyone?

I love the site. Thank you so much for doing this.

Love the background piano keys.

I love the FF's.

It's all good.

ohh ok yes now that you mention that, i do have that on the home forum page. i didnt realize that before.

Thanks for all of this Jenna

I thought I would mention, how much I like the scrolling banner with the latest info for us You are doing a great job!!

Yes, I love everything you've done Jenna! Great job! I know you've had to dedicate a lot of time to this, so thanks for all your efforts!!

Also, for anyone wondering. I found a cool way to check what posts have been commented on since I last visited. At the home page, if you scroll down to right above the thread topics (right under the music player)…on the right, you will see three different links to click on. They say, “View posts since last visit” “View your posts” or “View unanswered posts.” Those links have been really helpful in finding good threads and seeing which threads were commented on since the last time I visited.  Just some helpful tips! I am so glad to have our OWN forum.

I do have a question…what happened to thegiraudsquad.com main site? Is Megan not working on that anymore? I know it redirects us here, so that is good…but I was looking forward to having an ENTIRE website for the squad. Just wondering.

Everything looks great! And I just want to say thank you again for maintaining all of this and working so hard; I know it's a big job.

What else does this website need to be an entire website? What is missing or what else would you like to see added? I am working on a homepage and hopefully by this weekend I will have that completed.

But I love it here, it's wonderful!

I have already designed the homepage but I'm having a difficult time getting the links to work...urghh. I plan on working on it some more tonight and I hope I have it completed by the end of this weekend.
