sure 

• have a disclaimer at the bottom that ensures that your tables are all the same length even if your menue is longer than your content tabble
• *some* more graphics/eye leaders could be nice, but dont overdo it
• dont list PEEL all the way down as a hosted site   
• you should get your links in the menue to all fit in one line per link, maybe remove some space from your right side if needed
• make sure your news headings look all teh same so your users get actually used to them. eg, at the moment your date, posted by and title jump from line to line at the moment. mabye try to have the title in line one and date and nick in line two, and that *all* the time.


hmm, thats what i would like to see changed from the design point of view, good luck   :)
maybe Jason from PR can give you some hints here himself ?

[Reply #3 on:]

Add more content. That's the most important thing. And not content from other sites. Your own, original content.

While we're on the subject of me...   

What sites do you think deserve higher or lower rankings?

[Reply #4 on:]

i think FSAC and GNE should be considered for an excellent rating. They stick out of all the good rated ones.

Thanks mArc, that's nice of you to say that, and I agree GNE should also be excellent.

I don't really understand this topic...
Something about ratings of sites? Anything like mine?

GNE just moved up, and I usually don't let sites skip a level. FSAC is under consideration, as is LiC (as soon as it goes back up).

Heh, nice. Always doing your work on it, eh? It would help if you put a button link to my Top 50. http://top50.toonc.com/support2.gif

First off... Spell pictures right.

Maybe get rid of the right column, make the menu text smaller, maybe a small colour change, get rid of the <P>'s between the menu items..

Natty new colour scheme, Congrats.

[Reply #13 on:]

Nothing like as good as scanarts tho
Matt

[Reply #14 on:]

I kinda liked the old colors  but it was a bit too much Much Ado about Futurama-esque.

But I love that picture of Hermes on your title banner!!

Also is it just my computer or is your newspro coming up in your right hand menu?  Dispensing current Futurama news would be a welcome addition to your site.  But more/intresting news would be needed since many existing sites are doing a good job getting lots of news out.

It is good to see how much you want to work on your site to get it up there in the ranks  !

[Reply #15 on:]

It's strange how a lot of home-made sites sare lacking in content. Mines probably going to get those comments as well.

[Reply #16 on:]

Ok i made yet another design how this one, better or worse, tell me please.

Move the Hermes picture a little so his lip isn't cut off by the logo. Also, "effectively" does not mean what I think you think it means.

what about "efectivly"

[Reply #19 on:]

That any better!!!
Any other tips

[Reply #20 on:]

I would take off one <p> where the section gif meets the text, its a little too far away from each other.  Or ad a <br>.  And as said before, move the hermes pic a little to the right so he isnt touching the logo.  I like the new layout though.  good work.

[Reply #21 on:]

Good.

Now go make some content.

[Reply #22 on:]

Looks like this section had some positive vibes, as Futurama Scan Art Central, has been moved to Excellent at Planet Roadmap.

Thanks for everyone's support to get my pride and joy (other than Amy-Snowball) to it's current position in under 8 months.
