I’m not a Flash expert, but I was messing around with Kool Moves and came up with this teaser or trailer or whatever you wanna call it…Maybe we could put something like this in the heading to really spur us on to commit the changes we were brainstorming for the past few days?
Otherwise, as detn8r has mentioned, our members won’t even know about the changes brewing in the site.
May 8, 2007 at 11:31 am #160858Jeff HesterKeymasterAcrobat Reader gives me an error message when I try to view this.
May 8, 2007 at 12:38 pm #160864DavidParticipantAdobe 8 cannot satisfy my security settings and the authors intentions to play the media.
May 8, 2007 at 2:29 pm #160877StigmataMemberWhy have you put it in a pdf anyway :S
May 8, 2007 at 2:57 pm #160880PhilipModeratorStig:
I had to put it in pdf format because BBB won’t allow me to upload .swf files. I’ll have to figure some way around this, and I’m also open to suggestions.
May 8, 2007 at 3:11 pm #160865DavidParticipantzip it with an HTML page with the embedded tags to display it?
May 8, 2007 at 4:14 pm #160878StigmataMemberMay 8, 2007 at 5:56 pm #160860detn8rParticipantheh… apparently the plugin isn’t available, but it MIGHT be on the Adobe website. hah! it knows what to suck, thats for sure! :p
May 8, 2007 at 6:55 pm #160868SpikeMemberI get an error, too. Just ZIP it and upload it to BBB. (Right click on the file and click Send To > Compressed Folder)
May 9, 2007 at 1:21 am #160881PhilipModeratorHey Guys:
Sorry about not being able to view my Flash file in Adobe. View it here and thanks, Stig, for pointing me to ImageShack.
May 9, 2007 at 3:35 am #160861detn8rParticipanthahaha … I’m getting thoughts of that guy who does the movie trailers *deep manly voice* coming soon…………….. hahahaha :p
May 9, 2007 at 4:11 am #160882PhilipModeratorGraham, you’re free to do the voiceover if you want, heh heh. But could we have a teaser like that in our heading?
May 9, 2007 at 3:37 pm #160859Jeff HesterKeymasterI would prefer to see a “Coming Summer ’07… the all new BigBlueBall” rather than an “under construction” graphic.
“Under Construction” is generally acknowledged to be amateurish. It implies that the site is not really ready for use.
“Coming Soon” does a better job of explaining what we’re doing, without any negative connotation.
The Flash is cool, Philip, but I don’t really want to add a large flash graphic to the header when a static image would do. However… it would be a GREAT idea to put together a “coming soon” page that outlined all the great new things coming together.
May 9, 2007 at 9:17 pm #160872MrEggsaladParticipantBut (maybe I’m just defending my graphic here 😛 ), coming soon also implies that the site isn’t ready. Coming soon to me, is more like a “We have compeltely closed down and are revamping everything”. The under construction to me says more like “We are working on stuff around here”.
I think we should just more so link the under construction to a coming soon page like Jeff suggested.
Our other option, just slap a “beta” sticker up there, it’s web 2.0ish.. :p
May 9, 2007 at 11:27 pm #160873MrEggsaladParticipantDouble Post..ah well.
Here is a Coming Soon idea, but if we use it we probably should do something about file formats by either changing the background to a .png or suffer and use a .gif (this is .png that I am posting)
