Aesthetics aren't everything y'know. It's the content that matters. IMO, We should concentrate on the content first, and then the looks. Also, take into consideration that people are accessing the forum from 56k aswell as Broadband. Long loading times will turn people away.

I concur. I've always been a fan of the "old-school" BBS, with very little extra aesthetic BS and mostly text. I think that concept jives quite well with Rorta.

Likewise, i prefer the old school BBS's as well. I ran a 300baud Commodore 64 dial-up system for quite a while, then i upgraded to a whopping 1200baud when the "technology" became available. It was a single line 24/7 system and there was always someone online. Hence Rorta sporting a similar color scheme with the light and dark blue. The new software will bring a few great improvements to the forums, plus i really want to get the rest of the site online, but spare time is limited due to work at the moment. Your designs are quite good Janke, and i definately want to use some of your work on the site in the upcoming weeks. Cheers.

Images? Why? Why do we need more images? There are already too many... it takes between 10 and 50 seconds for me to load ONE page, depending on what mood my dial-up is in.

I fully understand and i'm keeping page load times to a minimum for 56Kers.
I have tested some fancy scripts on Rorta, they are great but slow down load times so i have removed them.
Also the Pop-ups will be gone on 1st September, so that will enhance the navigation through the site.
As for Janke's images, i will be utilising them in the main pages. I don't plan on adding any more images to the BBS.
Signed... T. Wedd

Haha. I get no popups.
Popup blocker called Nopops. Works very well.

I find that disabling images in your browser can significantly increase loading times on a 56k.

Why is it called an avatar? Why not "little picture by you're name"?
