I know. Pretty seamless transition really, but I am sure that is what they were going for...
Not really. There are certain rules for user interfaces (UI's). If you follow those, you come up with a certain style of board.
The member who designed the UI for the DML is not an amature - he does it for a living, and knew what people like.
Well, we who designed the dmf, tried to implement his ideas here. We are only 50% as pretty as the dml was, but we will get there.
So, it isn't that we wanted to copy the DML because it was the DML, we wanted a UI that was as nice as the DML pre VS was. Another site we took some ideas from, and hopefully will take more is advrider.com. It and the pre vs dml are probably the nicest moto forum UI's on the net.
