Over the last couple weeks we’ve been talking about redoing the look of the website and I’m happy to say that we’ve finally done it, err well I’ve finally done it!

Sparkboxshow.com Version 2.0a – It looks better, but it works better too.  Starting with a complete redesign of the template for more accessibility and then going with a more friendly, yet robust color scheme, we have redesigned everything from graphics to page scripting to make it smoother and better looking from all angles.  

What’s really cool though are the new functionalities involved in the redesign!  There are many more ways to keep updated with the addition of more specific rss feeds, you can track comments and the forums now on the go.  Oh you want to know what else?  New forum software!  that should be all I have to say, but let me humor you with some more details.  

The original design left our forums outdated and not very accessible to our users.  It was a major stumbling block to overcome, but I think we finally did it right.  The new forums allow for even easier usability and are linked directly to your normal sparkboxshow.com login.  No more need to login twice.  Just login and click the forum tab on the top of the page and you are good to go.  The forum is contained entirely within the main site so you can still have access to everything here from the articles to…   umm … well the everything else.

The only downside is that the new site is not super friendly to our dial-up and PDA readers and subscribers.  Sorry guys, maybe when we have time we can figure out some way to please you, but for now broadband is the way to go.  

I hope that the new look and the new forum will give a kind of fresh start to you subscribers.  I look forward to interacting with you on the new forum and would like to say that if you haven’t already tell your friends to check us out, because there should be no reason for anyone to feel embarrassed about the look of the site as much more professional looking and a lot less feeble…  (except for that damn data table error that keeps popping up.)

If you find anything that you think I’ve looked over and needs attention,(which I assure you is doubtful,) please email me or post in the support forum.  Enjoy!
