Re: Preview Video on Homepage

This is what I was thinking about for the location of the game trailer video on the homepage.

Re: Preview Video on Homepage

Is the site offset like that for you? For me it appears perfectly centered. Maybe you have an old browser.

Re: Preview Video on Homepage

No, I took a screenshot of the homepage and then used the Windows Paint program to offset the image of the news "block" to make room for the YouTube video box on the left side.  This is what I am proposing the homepage should look like with the game trailer video box added.

JETPACKS ROCK!

Duke, not everyone has that much grey space.  This depends on your monitor resolution.  Smaller resolutions have little, or no grey space.  Larger resolutions have a lot.  Placing a video there is not possible.  On my netbook, for example, everything goes right out to the edges basically.

Re: Preview Video on Homepage

maybe something to go under the medals?


EDIT: Though I'd prefer the totally new re-designed website that was mentioned a while back to go live.  This one is pretty, but it just doesn't have enough information on it at all.

Re: Preview Video on Homepage

Yeah, that was a nice solution that woke me up with a jolt this morning.


See DUKE? When you have a good idea that doesn't involve JETPACKS? We do listen to ya.
