New site

I have been working on a new layout for 2d last couple weeks. Also theres some more functionality too. Especially H2H (under "Search") works a lot better.

You can try it here: http://onlineboxing.net/play
There are still some issues which should be fixed before it becomes main.

It looks different in some browsers: a bit strange in my IE (which is old), but fine in firefox, chrome and safari.

EDIT just found out that the applet on the new site dont work yet. Will fix it tommorow.

Nice, I like how you set up the search, both H2H and fighter search and how it shows the guy with the most wins. I saw a bunch of fighters with great records that I never heard of.

There's lots to do and navigating has been made very simple! I like it!

There are some obvious problems under firefox which I won't bother mentioning because you probably know them.

On the whole a very good site and a big improvement.

Nice! It is easier to understand.

But I don't like the color scheme! Try this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complementary_color

Also- maybe put some transparent boxing related pictures in the back ground.

Mikkel you should make a donation tab on the new site.

it looks really cool and simple (not in a negative way). So new users are not confused when they see the site the first time.
Good work mikkel!

However there are some seriously insignificant things I don't like: 1 - The content box of "Home" and "Start Game !" are of different widths to the rest. 2 - I like that the login is no longer neccassary, but why was it kept? It also clutters the screen (if logged out). 3 - The header, although very good, doesn't match the theme. It could be recolored. 4 - The orange search boxes in "Search" don't match the theme. 5 - "Start Game !" doesn't look good underlined because there isn't supposed to be a space before "!". Personally I think: 1 - The instructions aren't very clear. 2 - Search boxes are a bit big.

The login will be used later, and I use it to login with admin powers. The header(banner, I suppose) is not too good, but I don't know how to make banners. Anyone can help me out here ?
Thanks Redneck, the simplicity was the goal..as few colors as possible, and as few options as possible on one page.

Thank you all for your input, I'll try fix the minor errors so it can become the main site.

sooo the new site is official now...

Yep, if it works for a longer period, if not, theres still the old one.

A longer period meaning what... This fixed all skips and everything, THANKS!

IF it dont crash or anything, in which case I would roll in the old one while its being fixed. Longer period is probably a day, if it lasts a day, its ok.

hey..great mikkel, its on the main-page now.
i just dont know what this is..take a look to the main-page:

-2.armandokiler
Champ : Unstoppable
1.James A. Braddock
2.Dick E. Boon
3.john

--> why is this armandokiler listed with a -2. before the champ?

for me the colors are a good choice. Its not too pop-art-like, it looks fine and professional (but thats just my opinion).
To the banner: i like the old OnlineBoxing-banner. But if there is a banner-guru and you are not satisfied with it...why not?
I like this banner on the beginning of the OB3D..the one with this fighter banging on his chest (i hope you know what i mean...). That would look very cool on top of the site.

Edit: I just took a look to the Hall of Fame. Wow...it looks very great now. It honors the ones in it now. You just forgot to copy/past me into it

Edit2: the fault with this -2. guy disappeared again. Maybe you fixed that already, so forget about that.

Thanks, and I will improve the site along the way.

another good new thing is "Start Game!"...simple and straight. You improved the site a lot with such things. New ones are not confused arriving the first time to the site now.
I was very honest and maybe the one with the harshest critics to the old site. So i can say this things again honestly and straight...i think you made with this new site everything you can to get new members and not confusing them. Again..great work!
Now we need just the "keyword" and "placing the site on searchengines" - guru (john mentioned fatny before...i think he is good in this things.)

great work mikkel
