Yeah this moment comes around once in a while, but we shall see what happens!

What I am looking for is a little help with different parts of the website, and my limited creativity on many parts is what stops me from getting these done.

So if you know much about graphic design, html design, coding, news reporting, oh you name it, anything that would work on this site, then please give me a shout.

Currently at the top of the list of things I am looking to try and do are...

>> The introduction on the front page of the website, as much as it is nice to have all that text there, I have been looking to replace that with an image of some description, with links to major parts of the site. Or something like that!

>> Icons and graphics around the site. If you are viewing this post, then you can see the old icons, like for example the menu at the top, the read marks, the replyto buttons. Now the menu at the top, well if you haven't have guessed by now, they are from PHPNuke and they were there since... well the site open... OOLLDD stuff! -- The reply to buttons and profile buttons, were very nicely done by GalFord, however times have moved on and we need to spruce them up a bit.

>> Coding, well I could rattle off the to-do list, but that would just bore you

Well you can see where I am going with this, but if anyone can help... it would be greatly appreciated..

Thanks!

Col

I'm pretty good with graphics but I've never made icons before or anything like that. Is the whole site getting an overhaul?

Sorry for not getting back, was away for the weekend.

Basically I am all up for overhalls, however for the time being I am just looking to try and make the website look a little more up to date than it is now. Currently it is very cluttered, there is a lot of information which I would like to get across. So its a mix between the two.

Development is just behind the scenes stuff, trying to get everything up to date, and get new things up and running (as well as update old).

I could help with news and some graphics. Just be aware that my news articles will be in American English. I'll try to make the images in British English.

Multiple profile layouts?

Coding, there is a lot to be done, mainly reorganising the current code and updating it (there is a lot of 6 - 7 year old code sitting about on the server.. def not good!)

Definatly new features would be nice for the website, need to also fix the broken features which happened during the server move (the Videos is a good example).

Themes, looking for people to help design new themes, note that each page is different, so it needs to become uniform.

News / Articles -- People wishing to have a go at this, start with a few in the community news section, however if you could send me some example work maybe, I'll get you setup right to post directly to the website, also in line with the coding, we could use this to help make it easier for everyone to post news?

Anyone wishing to do coding, if you could submit some samples of your work etc to me, then I can take a look through. Not that I don't trust you, its just well its always best to check before letting people lose on other code.

(Note my code is a mess, so you need to understand gibberish!)
