cB layouts have gone to the dogs. Options

[*This Confession*]

Eh I hate to say this

Then why not just not accept that tacky ugly crap
and only accept the real stuff so they get their mind right.

[technicolour]

I don't accept the crappy stuff. Or at least try not to. I reject it in a heart beat. I don't even go near the layouts. Last time I did, yeah, that was bad. I stick with graphics.

[Gigi]

Yeah, cB was all about having a high standard of layouts. Now...we've sort of fallen to the public's obsession with shitty brushes and images and started accepting those, too.

I don't think it should be about how popular it's going to be with the layout-using public with bad taste, but rather, upping the standard and attracting the ones with good taste over here. I mean, if they want shitty layouts, then they shouldn't be appreciated here. Blogring, maybe, but not cB.

Just kidding. =)

haha
yea..

I think most of us have a good head on our shoulders and know what were doing.

Everyone has different opinions. But I think we have plenty of sense to know what looks good and what doesn't.

Yeah, I have faith in you guys. The layouts aren't that bad, but they used to be better.

Well if you saw the ones that are rejected, you would understand

but no, I mean.. I may go through and clean it out a bit.
If thats okay with everyone? just a but, like.. if I see anything that is absolutely horrific. haha

[demolished]

hopefully .. in the future. we'll ban the idea.

layouts are becoming popular.
i expect people to be better at it.

Where does your entry text go?

The main image doesn't load.

[*digital.fragrance*]

I think Mods need to go through all of the skins and weed out the ones that don't function properly... or images don't load...

[iDecay]

^ Yeah, I think so too. I was going through the graphics earlier and there was someone with the same graphic twice. I'd be willing to help, if there is any help needed.

[*Azarel*]

I was going through old layouts to get a feel for how the skins have changed, and I noticed that a lot of the text/div alignment in the old layouts do not match up in firefox. But yeah, the few layouts I linked were pretty old. >>;

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ I think it would be too hard to elminate for browser compatibility.... sure, it can be done, but that would eliminate A LOT of FABULOUS layouts that classic people made - it'd be too sad.

I think we have to determine which ones don't work at all - by double checking them in both FF and IE browsers

[*This Confession*]

^in the rules if you actually go check
All layouts don't have to work in all browsers.

it isn't required.


http://www.createblog.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=77057


its desired but not required.
So we can't hold it against the people if they don't work in both browsers.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ right, I know that - but there are some that don't work at all

[*This Confession*]

well then someone needs to message one of the design staffs and give us the links and someone will take care of it

I think someone said that earlier

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ K... but for example - hte OLD Xanga layouts... some of them are well... yeah

[*This Confession*]

Okay, well any other ones you can just PM them to me or I suppose you can post them in here, I'll take care of them for now


I'm going through all the layouts actually now
But if I miss any you can tell me

This may take a few hours

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ wish I could help

[*mona lisa*]

I've gone into the Graphics section many times to reject any that, in my opinion, are below standard and I'm pretty fair when it comes to that. But it takes such a long time. Not just because of how long the queue is but the number of pages of graphics already submitted, and I mean every category. You also have to deal with the large number of people bitching and cursing about why their graphic was rejected. -__-

I'm going to make my trips to the graphics section more regular. But yes, PM a mod or post in here if it's a long list.

[happinessx]

Heh, wow you guys are pretty fierce. ._.

[*digital.fragrance*]

^ we have to be, or else cB will cease to be known for quality graphics/layouts

[*lolita kitty*]

People who haven't been exposed to REAL graphics like the crappy stuff.

Well I'm pretty sure that all of the design staff have been exposed to real graphics, so why are they accepting these crappy layouts?

I think the solution is simple. The mods just need to be more strict when it comes to accepting layouts, and set higher standards. Otherwise, as Rachael said, cB will cease to be known for quality graphics/layouts.

[Blaqheartedstar]

waaa seems that two of my layouts hit the list.... i mean if its THAT bad... i will remove them

[GREASEbaby]

I agree 110% with what other people have said.

createBlog simply needs to higher standards.

And I will, if it would be appreciated, collect links of images and layouts that don't deserve to be here.

Ooh. Sowwy. We didn't mean to attack anyone. It's just the quality of the layouts, that's all.
