TD Labs has long been giving TD cutting edge features for years...eg, the Anchor didn't just invent itself. And for that, we thank them.

We asked TD Labs a few months back to present some ideas to freshen up the site. We wanted a professional looking home page and the other pages cleaned up.

On January 1, 2014, TD Labs delivered a stunning new home page that won Best New Homepage Design at a recent Webmaster Convention. Click on the TD logo to see it if you haven't already. Breathtaking.

They also spent countless hours coming up with a new term to be used on the horizontal nav bar for "Entertainment". We felt that "Entertainment" didn't always represent the content on some of the boards listed in the drop down. So, after careful consideration, they settled on "Life". Simple. To the point.

The also spent countless hours coming up with an idea of what to do with all the "My" links that were cluttering the top. They came up with the ingenious idea of a My Account drop down to the far right of the logo. Smart. Clean.

TD Labs will continue to produce the design and functionality changes needed to propel TigerDroppings.com and its sister sites into the future.

I don't hate the new look like some. I'm supposing other boards will keep their colors.

The dropdown menus are sort of redundantly redundant when you have the links on the left. I like the contrast with the dark background on the links at left.

not all the stuff in the dropdowns is on the left...see the LSU, Saints and Pelicans dropdowns for example. any more bad observations?

Actually, I don't use them. I have the 5 boards I want to look at as links on my browser toolbar.

Don't want to risk accidentally clicking the soccer board.

Or even worse, poli talk.
