I'm being pressed for time here. It seems that a lot of the design has flaws in it when put into use and I'm having to redesign things after the next to make it work. Like that gray bar at the top that says "Jappleng University is still under development until mid-february, thank you for being a JPL-U Student!" if you're logged in, or notifies you if you have a PM or something? Yeah, that needs to be removed because it looks too cluttered. Instead, it will be a yellow notification at the top when something happens.
The top left profile info thing needs to be redesigned so it better fits with the site and the overall look of the nav buttons for the community doesn't sit right with me, but that can be changed later on.
I am working on the image-boards and there are many features that I want to include, especially the front page. I want the front page to be more interactive but unfortunately it would take too much time and what I need to focus on is getting the image-boards to work entirely instead of any extra feature.
The forum themselves are going to be hectic to repair. Because of the overall change of some layout elements, things are no longer working properly, the colors need to be changed around, and Internet Explorer just breaks the site because it likes to handle things uniquely. In other words, I have to re-program the forums to work solely with Internet Explorer if the browser is IE. Incidentally without JavaScript you can't add conditionals for other browsers and that just has to show you just how unique IE is by telling programmers that they like to do things the difficult way so they will create a conditional that is easy to implement so you can adjust your site appropriately. Sad right?
I think the biggest challenge will be World Jappleng. The only thing is that World Jappleng will have to come next week after the implementation of JV·Share and the finalization of J·Spot. I'm aiming to have the community entirely complete with some of the site updated with new sections by Valentines day. Wish me best of luck!
