Cool cool. =)

The navigation on the left is huge, especially when you change channels. There's things I've wanted to add for a while ('pieces of flair'), there's things I'm planning on adding (hackee login pannel), there's things that I might add (PPC ASM Doc), and there's things that I haven't thought of yet that would be nice to have..

SO I need to move things around a bit.. I don't have very much free time so I was hoping maybe you lot could help me with ideas...

This is my first idea but I don't have any ideas for that orange box (top right) (and I will change the look of the navigation that stays on the left- I've always thought it was kind of ugly).

screenshot of idea: http://geckocodes.org/newGC.jpg

..I guess I could put a google ad in the orange box but I don't really want to do that. (even though there hasn't been a single donation for the site or the work I put into it since it launched Aug 2008)
....Maybe an Accio Hacks link could go there?? That's not a bad idea..




Anyway, I'm 100% open to any ideas for a new look/feel to help spread out the nav.. (or any others you might have)



Please let me know.
I appreciate all feedback.. and I get very little..

yeah it is more handy if you have your game serach/alphabet in the top middle.

Sorry to sound like I am not open to new ideas, but I like geckocodes how it is.

Its whatever you want to do with geckocodes, James.

This.^

I would like to have for example different letter size/colours for subtitles!
If you have a subtitle called "Regionfree Codes", I would like to make it bigger and with a different colour than the second subtitle called "Offline Only Codes". You could go here to see what I mean :D

I agree completely! I will make the change soon. Thank you! =D

Redesign idea #2:



The systems and regions would show drop downs when you move your mouse over them.
The left navigation is kind of ugly so that will get a face lift too.


Thoughts?

nice i like ;)

especially the log in box :P

not to mention the non-stop hetoan2 forums promotion :D in the affiliate cycle...


you could have it like sony's random number generator for encryption keys.

Very well done James

[Skiller]

Have to say really nice .. has a better flow to it .. :)

it be nice to have a Remember me Function on the login :P

[James0x57]

Thank you everyone, I appreciate the feedback!! I will use design #2 when the time comes.



@Sharkbyte: I have to change it to make room for new stuff. The current left nav is already quite long. And when you extend the channels, it's definitely /too/ long. IMO. Oh, and the current design is the 2nd design (waaay different from the first)- it came beside VC hacking. ;)

hey james,
I don´t like that geckocodes screws up the umlauts.
Look at this: (down in the list, when viewing the values...)

http://geckocodes.org/?c=RPBP01

every ä,ö and ü are messed, it even  doubles them after you save your work :(
Also, if you use words like "don´t", generally
words with apostrophs are turning out bad.

Please fix this aswell :)

You see, there are enough ideas to improve things

[James0x57]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
That is important to me; I will try to fix it so it doesn't mess up when you save it...

There are other pages with kanji and katakana which show up fine though, so it's strange..

[Bully@Wiiplaza]

thats strange, very sometimes it didn´t mess...
but most of the time it sadly does.

I really wonder: should non ASCII Characters really be allowed.. I mean while our browsers can safely show them, I doubt AccioHacks would come with fonts for them.. does it?
