Cosmetic Change To Niners Nation

by David Fucillo on Feb 10, 2011 8:06 PM PST in Niners Nation 101

I've received various comments over the years about the FanShots and how they're hard to locate on the front page. After a comment earlier this evening, I decided it was time to do a little bit of experimenting with the front page. I've moved the FanShots to the left side of the page. They're just below the SB Nation blogroll. I can't move any of those top three things (SBN blogroll, RSS feed, Sections layout) from their current location so this as high as the FanShots can go. They're not quite parallel with the FanPosts, but they're much closer.

What do folks think of this look?

really?

Is that just because it’s new…As I’m scrolling down the front page looking at the center of the screen my peripheral vision picks up both the fanposts and the fanshots.

Maybe because it's more compressed as far as spacing...

makes the headers harder to read. Also, of you bump the SBNation link table below it, it could match the right side of the page better as far as alignment.

I’m too set in my ways though. I fear change. ; )

BTW, I have a lot of content blocked with AdBlock too....

so that could be an issue as far as what I see.

Really?

I always found them harder to find when they were below the Fanposts.

I don't read the left side of the page hardly...

and the size of the column makes it hard to read the headers.

That I do agree with

The headers are too small, Fooch.

If it matched the right side as far as alignment...

with the Fanpost section, that would be cool too.

I wish I could customize this site on my own, just on my browsers.

NN keeps freezing when I first go to the site. Adobe Flash Player 10 crashes.

I've had a problem with the adserver widget...

I finally was able to block it. A script on it was screwing things up for me. Plus, the ad frame around the page is hard to block in Chrome too.

adobe script

Yea, I had that issue. I emailed tech support.

The adobe flash crash

I’m growing to hate BMW.

It's not the BMW ad.

Check out Chester, an Xbox game being developed by a friend.
Then, you can donate to my friend's video game documentary. Any bit helps.

What is it then?

As soon as the BMW ads left, my computer went back to normal.

the ad

Not sure what the problem was but the problem only happened here while the ad was appearing on all the football sites.

I'm just glad it's over

Sometimes my PC would just lock up for several minutes. It was like a bad nightmare.

Right, but all the other football sites had the same ad and they didn't have the problem.

OK, then the problem was w/NN

Hope you folks find the problem and get it fixed.

now that you mention it

when i first came to NN today my browser told me “a script in this movie is causing problems” and gave me the option to abort it, which solved the problem.

We don't need 8 in the box. We have 52 in the box.

Aborting it only makes things worse on firefox

I still get the same adobe flash crash w/ windows internet explorer

Yes, I really do hate BMW.

Do they have to have the same exact ad running in three different locations simultaneously?

It will grow on me.

Unusual now but so was walking when I was a baby. I like it that its up in the beginning now so now all of my fanshots will be heard.

You try too hard, make it more fun.

Any more problems you need me to solve?
