PNF Beta site Update

[Scott_Irving]

Greetings fellow Hunam's! 

I've been working on the beta site some more, I have a working page now that I can easily edit, using php includes and I have a nifty working random header image php script.
 So what I need from you is header images for my random image script, I could simply make them myself but I figured why not get the community involved!
Arne, of course did the original, so let's see what you've got. They can be in jpg, png or gif format's, thought I would prefer png.
The File name can also be whatever you want, but for the sake of organization, if you can stick to header_"whateveryouwant" .
Obviously this is the website header image so it should contain the name "The Pages of Now and Forever" and optionally "All About Star Control".

Here's Arne's original header image

Here is a blank template image for you to use

The beta site can be found at

I'm going to start working on getting the actual content pages setup now, look for those soon! 

UPDATE: The beta site now contains 4 separate working pages, "news", "get sc" , "faq" and "about pnf" , also a number of links are now active namely the UQM and forum links.

UPDATE: FEB 12 - I created a quick page for the SC2 introduction page, contains just the sc2 logo image for now
             FEB 17 - Added in a quick page for SC1 intro page based off original SC1 page, however menu disappears on loading?.

The front page could certainly use revamping. I'm looking forward to the end result.

Revamping? How?

Looking good to me

Update: I have the menu setup pretty well the way I want it now, just have to fill in the full list of races and such. If there's any suggestions for stuff that should be in the menu let me know.

  What's with the different shades of blue along the menu?  It looks a bit weird to me.

[Scott_Irving]

It's to give more definition to the different sections, thought it can be changed very easily

[Rider]

Maybe a small gradient to transfer from 1 color to another would look better... I kind of like your idea Scott... I'll agree it looks a little 'off' as it is now though.

[Scott_Irving]

I could do a small gradient thought it would require use of images for each section or the menu as a whole, taking away from it's dynamic coding. It's possible to do CSS gradients but they take allot of excess code, I will try adjusting the colors so they are closer together, or possibly making them different colors all together.

  I think that the problem is that the dividing lines don't go all the way across or something.  It's like you have the orange dividers, but you also have the color changes.  I go with one or the other, or make the lines go all the way across the menu bar.  If you get rid of the lines altogether, you should make the different colors contrast a bit more, IMO.

Do you want to know about broken links on the current site?

[Scott_Irving]

Sure, they'll be replaced with the new site but couldn't hurt to know.

  The link to the "links" page doesn't do anything.

Use them if you want!



















On most of them I used fan art from PNF, so thanks for those who have made them 

EDIT: so this is *juicy* > http://juicy.net63.net/

  I like the one with the slave-shielded planet.

I made new version of header #2 beacuse I think that those syreens doesn't look good in it.
