Forum: Player Theories

Doesn't someone need to add this, to the forums list on the main page. Joey.eyeball (talk) 19:59, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Very true. Since you noticed it, feel free to add it to the template. -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 20:30, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

The comment for it may need editing, but its there! Joey.eyeball (talk) 20:53, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Changes to Main Page due to fluid layout

As I mentioned here, this section is intended to discuss individual changes we might need to make to the main page in order to prepare for the roll-out of fluid layouts.

First, there's the issue of the right column. The column width is shrinking from 330px to 300px. So, we'll need to make sure all our current content displays correctly at that new smaller width. The left column (the main section of the page) will no longer have a fixed width, but will vary depending on the display resolution of the reader's monitor or browser window. The right column width remains at a static 300px, but if the main page is viewed with a lower resolution display (such as one found on a tablet), the right column is actually moved below the left column. This is a problem, considering we have some important information and links currently in the right column, such as the Wiki's 'About us' section.

Another matter to consider is the main page's slider gallery. The width of images used in the gallery is and will remain fixed at 670 px wide. On larger displays, this will create a very large area of empty space on either side of the slider image. Unfortunately there is no way to fix this presently, so it might be worth considering removing the slider image gallery altogether.

That's all I've got right now -- LostInRiverview ^{talk ~ blog} 04:54, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

TSP on the main page

I feel that The Sim's Pen as it is right now, just being on the Fanon Portal, it isn't getting as much attention as I'd like. The Fanon section seems to be dying out just as quickly as before TSP was introduced. I think it would be a good idea to take one step further and try putting TSP on the main page in the fanon section alongside the other two news lists. ―WikiBuilder1147 ^{(Infinite Histories • Galactic Crucibles • The Sims Wiki • Hallows Maleficent • Why I'm here in the first place)} 12:12, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

I kinda agree, but I suggest we discuss this matter over community discussion forum. Nikel _{Talk – Vote!} 15:06, September 7, 2014 (UTC)

Main page redesign

The discussion has been dead for a little while now, but I'd like to bring it up again. Recently I took the liberty of creating an alternative design for the main page, which reorganises the features on the page based on their function, for example "Forums", "News", etc. This design also has the benefit of having the ability to facilitate the presence of The Sim's Pen adequately. I furthermore believe that this new design looks much more unique to TSW, as the headings have a special, Sims-themed font. I'd appreciate it if this issue comes to a definitive conclusion through this thread. You can view the design as a whole here, and the individual components of the design here. ―The Tim Man ^{(Infinite Histories • Galactic Crucibles • The Sims Wiki • Hallows Maleficent • Why I'm here in the first place)} 11:17, September 29, 2014 (UTC)

The "Welcome to The Sims Wiki" banner looks really, really childish IMO. Could this be tweaked before we are mistaken for the Barney & Friends Wiki? :P --I am k6ka ^{Talk to me!} _{See what I have done} 11:24, September 29, 2014 (UTC)
