I really like the old design concept, though The two year old design from my last post? Or the current index page? The two year old design from your last post

The random rotating adventure sounds like a great idea to me. I'm assuming there's some sort of restriction to it, like only rotating un-cradled adventures or ones which pass a certain amount of pages?

I think I have the page stylistically complete, If anyone wants to look around it and see if anything looks off mspfanventures.com/beta.phpfeel free to suggest changes too edit: i forgot to change the "Read Roomland" link color from red, ignore that

Yeah, that looks good! You could put a list of all the recently updated adventures right underneath the News section

Looking good! Maybe an option to expand the Top Rated Adventures list to additional adventures at the bottom, similar to the Adventure Info section?
Edit: And regarding the randomly selected adventures, it might be cool if there were an option to select which panel is displayed, should it be chosen.

I like what you've done so far! I'm gonna second Zerio in being able to choose what page is displayed though! I don't think I'm alone in kind of being embarrassed by the low quality of the early pages of my adventure.

I don't think I'm alone in kind of being embarrassed by the low quality of the early pages of my adventure. Well I'm not currently sure how I should set up the random adventure system, it's currently stuck on Roomland. I might just make a preset rotation based on user suggestions of what should be on the front page? I hope that's not to inclusive or a bad idea or anything

The update is live, you can now change your adventure to TRANSLATION
I have updated the five longest Homestuck Translations to fill out the index page's top five, please note this category isn't limited to homestuck translations. I will add a mini-update log for adventures soon to the news section, and currently the RANDOM ADVENTURE doesn't actually change, it's just roomland for now

Hey, the new theme looks great, but I was sorta wondering if adventure icons can be added back to the Activity Log in some way? It looks a lot more vibrant and adventures are more recognizable with them in my opinion, and seeing cool icons on the front page was actually what inspired me to check out and discover other adventures.

I could, but they'd be like 8px by 8px big Edit: I'm a damn dirty liar, I got it to look good(?) with a 35px image.

I hope the staff here doesn't mind me spamming updates to the site here.
I added tooltips to the site (currently only used if you hover over (not) on the index) I'll go around the site adding some of these to the site, any suggestions for what might need additional explanations?

Can I get a date added category?
I might have entirely too much free time on my hands.

Well, I don't mind. I've noticed a lot of people typing in things like, "Submit suggestions here!" in the Suggestion box where a URL should be. I guess they gloss over the fact that the site doesn't have an inbox. A tooltip there would be nice

Add new/modify adventure page update: Old: New: Titles/their text boxes now have helpful but probably badly worded explanations. The titles aren't actually centered like they are in this image* That broke add new pages page Other changes: Removed the s from "Pages Management" on the add new pages header.

Hey, not to be rude, but in my opinion this new font is kind of used... excessively? It's harder to read and kind of ugly for things that aren't titles...

That's pretty fair, I'll change it to be titles and main links only later tonight. I just set the css for the font under pretty main divs so it is pretty wide spread.

Can Yoshistuck be moved from the cradle? It was created a month ago, and has 24 pages so far. It may seem crappy because I use ms paint, but I try as hard as I can.

are there any programs that can be used to make interactive animations (like how homestuck flashes have replay buttons), without spending a ton of money on adobe products? and how do you embed that into a page?

I'm not too sure, I never made flash animations before, but I did used to make flash games using a library called FlashPunk. It's not an art program though, it's for coding in flash.
