Web site home button bar changes.

The home button bar is the bar under the header that has links to.

Home Forums Downloads Members account....

the one on the main page are images I created and updated the other day.

I want to add more buttons to the top for things like:

bf3 weapons module
pop out music player we used to have
Eventually a stats module for bf3 similar to what we have now
server module showing all our server...can't really have 5 boxes of servers on right side
move the report cheater, reserved slot, become a member links to top bar (drop that side box)

The images must be changed to do this because if you stretch or modify the images the text becomes unreadable and doesn't look right. Therefore I'm thinking of doing just plain basic white text links...or maybe some drop down boxes...not sure...open to suggestions.

please check out the version I have currently at www.jrks.org/testsite/ to see what i'm leaning toward now....

******I'm not sure I like that look....open to suggestions. I think the issue is between having all the info up top that you might want to access v. having too much info up there. drop down boxes would be an option

Looks great Feebs. I noticed it this morning at work and thought I was still drunk.

HA! Nice Raw.

Yep, looks really nice Feebs. The BF3 countdown is a nice touch.

HAHA! That makes it even better.

im in process of updating this and changing things around...moved the menu bar above the flash header....I can't read the blue text on black background the way I have it for reserved slot...maybe make it red/yellow..or light green?....still might revert back to images but i'm gonna have to add some drop down boxes for all the options i want up there....on the up side everything should load much faster since less total blocks loading at start.

im not liking at the top can it go too the side.menu bar? its looking good so far.

Check it out now:

Killebit helped me work my issue with the bar out. currently i'm thinking about something like what you see up on the testsite atm..

**also you will notice how i've changed the home page layout by deleting some center blocks and side blocks which should actually result in faster load times.

Let me know what you think; give me some feedback and make recommendations.

Looks good be it remind me of the old gp webb page just a little sorry

Ok, now take a look at it and leave some feed back...i'm considering adopting a menu and layout like this www.jrks.org/testsite/

Buttons at the top.
Dropping some menus etc from the side bars and putting everything across the top.

I'm still open to any recommendations about number/placement of buttons...appearance everything...just give some feedback.
