Planet Virtual Boy

Thoughts, ideas, feature suggestions or anything else about PVB v3... Feel free to let us know :)

Your site already looks great...but those screenshots of VR32 v3 look fantastic. I cant wait to see the finished product.

I concur! I especially like how the forum will look like a part of the site, rather than a separate, somewhat related site.

Sorry to see the cool animated logo go, but it's probably for the best

Can't wait!

Looks fantastic :-) But perhaps you remove the cartridge in the "game"-background, so you can read the text better.

The backgrounds will be darker "in reality", it's just the JPEG compression that makes the text hard to read...

I'd be interested in what you want for the Usercenter, which will be a central element of the site. My Ideas right now are:
* My Profile
* My Collection
* My Highscores
* My Sales/Trades
* My Submissions
* Private Messages
* Avatar
for every user. Plus the ability to submit and comment news.

Instead of that bulky GAMES/FORUM text, you should make a font based on the VB logo text, and use that instead. (I'm assuming that the text is an image, since its transparent.)

And you should keep the top-right navigation menu as well.


...And, maybe you could keep the spinning globe, just shrink it and move it to the right hand side.

....Or, if you keep the navigation, you could leave the languages where they are, and leave the globe where it is.



...How long have you had that globe anyway? Maybe you could even replace it with an animated VB, maybe a spinning 3D one, or even that VB mascot from the Jap manuals looking around or something.



...That's all I can think of (for now... ;)

Just found something gimmicky you could add to the new forums.

I noticed you have sections for Yahoo, AIM, ICQ and MSN in the profiles, along with a couple of status icons.
If you go to [url]http://www.onlinestatus.org/[/url], you can add status icons for all of these, as well as IRC.
...Using custom icons!

Hey KR155E, I have another suggestion for PVB v3 (or even v2).

Since your site is in both German and English, how about adding a link from one page to the other? Sometimes people link to the German page when you want to read the English version, and vice versa.

Thanks lameboy! In v3 you will be able to switch between languages at any time and on any page, a language selection will be found on top of the page.
Unfortunately I haven't been able to work on PVB3 in the past months since the change to Xoops 2.2 didn't work as smoothly as I thought and due to uni work.

PVB3 is good and everything, but...

* For starters, the center tag is no longer supported
* Neither is the url tag apparently
* Probably a pile of tags I can't be bothered trying
(Maybe you should run some DB queries and convert the old tags if you're using something new)
* And finally, the menu headings (NEWS, SECTIONS, etc) are a bit hard to see on that background.

...Also, isn't it about time you started doing (C)2000-2006 in the footer? Pretty soon you won't be 640x480 friendly.
