Actually I like this idea
I agree, the CSS Layout section is a bit disorganize. People don't know where to find the layout that they want.
And the [url=http://theftalk.com/t25413-Friendster-Layouts-%5BCSS%5D-compilation-%5Bsort-by-contributer%5D.html]CSS Layout Directory[/url] isn't much of a help either.
This directory is kinda messy.
It's not updated and there are some important authors missing.
I think someone should re-do the whole thing.
This [url=http://theftalk.com/t20801-LAYOUT-DIRECTORY-and-TOP-CSS-CONTRIBUTORS-%5BCompilation%5D.html]Compilation Directory[/url] however is pretty good. Because the authors themselves can categorize what their layouts are about (i.e. emo, girly, anime, dark theme and etc)
[b]Adding a sub-forum would be nice if it's possible.[/b]
If it's not possible...
I suggest that we make use of the Compilation Directory instead. (Upgrade?)
The layout contributers should be responsible of their own layouts.
If they post a new layout then they should always update their post in the Compilation Directory.
For instance
This is my post in that Directory
[quote][b]Title Category Link[/b]
blah blah emo link here(thumbnail image link if possible)[/quote]
then i added a new layout
After posting the new layout, I would simply edit my post in the Directory to this
[quote][b]Title Category Link[/b]
blah blah emo link here
chenez dark link here[/quote]
Then the threadstarter would update the first post to like this
[quote][b]Dark[/b]
chenez link here
[b]Girly[/b]
(links here)
[b]Emo[/b]
(links here).........[/quote]
(laughing to myself now -- ^ is this possible too?)
If only all layout authors would follow this format then it would really be easier to navigate the CSS Layout Section.
Some authors cant even make a decent screenshot of their layouts (it's either too big or they have no screenshots at all!)
Others do not even follow the correct format
What if we have [b]"Legal" Ftalk Authors?[/b]
Friendstertalk should screen the "qualified" authors -- meaning, only the qualified authors can contribute in that section. (like in other sites such as Friendster-Layouts, Vixenart and etc.)
Qualified meaning, they follow the rules and correct format. Certified Non-Ripper Authors.
Well, these are just my thoughts.
If it's too ideal or impossible -- I will accept the criticisms
