god I am dense sometimes...... hahahaha yes now I get it. but it is a very clever illusion - it does look like translucent film. I couldn't get my mind to think about it differently.................... nicely done.

umm... is anyone else still obsessing over their entry even though they've submitted it? a few more hours and hopefully I'll have gotten most of the bugs out of it.... but the thing that bugs me most of all - I've got one - count it - ONE - pixel giving me a horizontal scroll bar in FF. It's gone in IE, and it's down to one pixel in FF. and I can't find it.
aaaah........... wheeere aaaare yooou....?............

(going nuts here................)

WOAH jameson, Your entry ROCKS! I really really love it :D I am so glad bigweb has given us a chance to do this, because its showing some of the awesome talent this place has to offer.

Also dM I thought of the sig thing because of the Ozzu oscars. Thought it would be nice for the winner and runners up to have a little something incase bigweb doesn't have time to implement the design that wins :)

Thanks Benat :D

The butterfly design you came up with is absolutely amazing, by the way!

I think we're probably all feeling that way right about now... I mean, I figured you guys would come up with some good designs, but this is crazy! :shock: :)

good, at least I'm not alone..... spent 7 hours on it yesterday, and I'm down to two glitches (posted over in 'website design' so I won't bore you with it here, but man they're kicking my.... khhkhm.... behind.......

oh spork, one more question - and I ask you cuz it seems to me so far only you have done it - how'd you get the 'bigwebmaster', 'joebert' etc etc links in the 'whoisonline' div to have the same color as .adminColor etc? I had no trouble doing those three classes, but now whatever I do I can't attach them to the links below. I thought something simple like
Code: [ Select ]
.adminColor a {blah blah}
might do it but 'ffcourse it don't......................... I was actually digging through your code to see if I can find it, but I'm none the wiser! :)

thanks sweetie. and as for yours being most ammateurish, far from it - you've got my vote so far. and this is no girl power thing - it's merely the fact that yours looks by far cleanest. you knew exactly what you wanted and you pulled it off perfectly. others are going for more 'advanced' effects in some areas, but they all show little issues and inconsistencies along the way (including mine, big-time....) yours is most rounded-off.

and yes, I think we all feel like ours is the worst. I sure do. you just get overwhelmed by all the cool elements - both on the design and the programming side - that everyone else put in....

Looks great! And nice work with the color-coding in the 'who is online' area!

yeah that took a while :)

I think it's pretty close to identical now in all 3 browsers.... and if anyone spots any discrepancies.... don't tell me :)

I kinda lost focus on this one - after realising that forums are quite difficult to design for. I was aiming for a blog style design in fashionable colours, but in the end things started to drift away from what I had in my head.

Not all that pleased with the outcome (a little too empty somehow), but here it is anyway...

are you kidding? I think it's a great entry. I love how it's completely different from anything else entered so far. I also like that you chose to go with a fixed width and not a flowing design for something different. Good job IMO.

I like the alternating indentation for the forums. That's something pretty unique that I never would've thought of. The whole design looks nice and clean.
