So, whatcha think?

Click that Tweak3D logo in the top left corner and let us know what you think of the new design. The new logo should be done within a week or two. The rest of the site is still being updated and changed constantly... we're fixing news comments and adding new content.

This is a major step for Tweak3D. The whole site now links together in ways it couldn't dream of before. All URLs are search-engine-friendly and created dynamically. Content is stored in a database instead of in thousands of HTML files on the server's hard drive. Articles are now categorized and sectioned, meaning it can be sorted and viewed by type instead of just depending on how we list it. Also we'll be able to easily switch between the dark and light themes once we've fully implemented this fix. This stuff I'm mentioning is only the tip of the iceberg - great things are coming soon!

I want to give a huge thanks to Chapel! Without him, this could've never been completed (or reached the stage it's at now, wherever that is...). We spent nearly 6 months working out all the bugs and converting everything over. Now it's time to get to work on new content!

Here's the old site for comparison:

Lookin' pretty good Dan. I take it we're not too far from integrating the forum with the rest of the site, right?

Griffin · 09-28-2006, 12:29 PM

It blends well with the forum.

Yeah it's almost there.

very nice! It's great to see all these great changes after all this time. I hope Tweak3D becomes one of the best computing websites around again!

ivwshane · 09-28-2006, 09:28 PM

Lookin good!!

For a second I thought the site had been hacked!

gB dAvId x · 09-28-2006, 09:58 PM

I think it looks a lot better! More new age look for the site!

super_Chris · 09-29-2006, 12:03 AM

When you click tweaks, it kind of freaks out in FF 1.5.0.7 (adblock). Doesn't quite look right. The new design is long overdue, and this is a great start.

tweakmonkey · 09-29-2006, 12:34 AM

Oh, I was in the middle of fixing that now.

shadav · 09-29-2006, 07:39 AM

That's Vbulletin default AFAIK.

If you can't see the difference, check the link I posted above and compare it with the main page at Tweak3D.net. It's completely different.

Your efforts are looking good, seems to work and is a much more pleasant experience. good work.

tweakmonkey · 10-14-2006, 07:52 AM

The site was running really slow before. We figured out why - the forums' posts were being pulled several times and the module was not being cached. We fixed this using RSS from the forums. Now the site seems to load a lot faster. Let us know what you think.

gB dAvId x · 11-05-2006, 09:08 PM

So are you guy's working on a new logo?

tweakmonkey · 11-05-2006, 09:20 PM

Yeah but our art guy is backed up with 'real' work so it might be a few weeks.
