Should TIBB undergo a makeover?
I think it should.

If it were to undergo a makeover, I think they should give the whole site a much more modern and relaxed look. I also think they should give the main site a whole face lift. They could create simple sections on the main site.

News
New's, with the latest Big Brother news, reported by budding TIBB journalists (I will help). The news stories should have a interesting angle, and should be copied and pasted from other sites.

Forum
Forum, which will link to here. I think the Forum should get a lighter look, and we should get new smilies to add to the range. I think these should be more ordered, and have more in common, eg, size and style. I think we should also get new buttons, for New Topic, etc. Just small changes like this would give the Forum a whole new Image. Also, members have been complaing about new viewers ruining the forum, so maybe Members with over 250 post can view a section for chat for older members.

Entertainment
With big brother clips, images and even Games! (You can get free games to add to a website). This would give the forum a even bigger 'fun factor' and would keep us all interested.

Chatroom
The Chatroom, this should remain, and be given its own section. This would increase the 'status' of the chatroom.

You know that you can change the look of the forum by the different themes. So no, TIBB doesn't need a makeover, I love it as it is, I just changed the theme.

I don't mind it as it is, i wouldn't mind a arcade though, playing games on tibb would be cool.
The main website could do with a makeover though since nothing much has changed with it.

Please give your views, like sunshine!

Do you think the mods have the time ?

We have all the news by everyone, sources, articles and rumours. No help.

You got different themes and colours for that, no need too.

Did you take a look at the video and the pics section ?

Chatroom

A chatroom has nothing to do into the forum, it's been created in order to talk about other things which aren't on the forums.

You could do the Graphics!

[Conor]

I agree with most parts, but I own a BB fansite and would be angry if TIBB copied some of my reports. (although I know that current managment wouldn't do that!)

I think you'll find you need to be registered on the forum to use the chatroom...

You can change the style of how the forum looks in your control panel.

But no..... I dont think TiBB needs a make over at all.... why fix it if it aint bust?

[Harry!]

Good arguments there!

I just mean the chatroom should get a bolder look. Of course, these are only my Ideas, i wanted your thoughts and Ideas.

I think the layout and way the site functions is top notch and better than pretty much every other forum I've been on. I wouldn't have it any other way. If people want variety, then as has been mentioned, it is possible to choose from a selection of themes.

Whenever new changes are made to the forum, it takes getting used to but it's always done to make it better rather than change it. I really like how everything is set out.

[Captain.Remy]

Well, I think TIBB is awesome, and I love my theme for the forum.
If we add games and stuff like that, it will be like the other forums and TIBB is not like the others, we need to keep what we are.

I agree with that. Keep the forum the same, but i think the main site could do with a face lift, and other bits could be more 'uniformed'

[KKBL]

i think TIBB is fine the way it is but if a "facelift" would make the site better then i suppose.

[Magic]

Here is a very stylish idea of what i mean.

Dont Disrespect - I spent ages doing this!

Now, here is some reasons/opinions posted by mods from another thread as to why the design WON'T be changing:

this one has stood the test of time to be honest. I like it, it is easy to navigate and read and not unfriendly on the eye. The official BB site is messy and not very easy to get around compared to this one

Originally posted by Mike
I personally wouldn't like the design to change, it's pretty easy to use/navigate as it is and as said above you can change the skin you use in the 'control panel' to suit you.

Yes the site might be looking a bit old but it works and it works rather well. And new features are still being added like the chat room everyone wanted but now don't use.

Small changes over time have be carried out to improve the usability of the site and changes made to the software to meet our needs. It would be a shame to lose all this work and some loss of custom functionality just for the sake of a change in style. As the old adage goes "If it isn't broke don't fix it". If we changed the style which might involve changing the software we could be just asking for trouble.

I rather like the site for many of the reasons stated above. I think the site will serve us well for a few more years.

more critism

[Matt08]

I think that the main site is in need of a makeover but the forum is great the way it is. The reason why I never visit the main site is because I hate the design. Also lack of news and updates puts it behind most of the other big sites.

And yet TiBB has a 7,000-strong userbase and the best BB forum on t'internet...

I don't think any urgent changes are needed.

[Matt08]

If there was going to be a new design on the main website then it would be a great idea to ask the forum members what they want to see, after all we are the people who visit TiBB reguarly.

Same with me Sunshine! The main site could improve, but the forum needs very little.
