First off, I love the new Boards. They're more visually appealing, clearer, sleeker, and more modern.

However, I think they still need two changes: A header bar that scrolls with the rest of the page, and a notification area that doesn't stick out like a sore thumb. Accordingly, MOCKUPS! This is what it would look like when you've scrolled down.

That's obviously a hasty mockup - you'd probably want to rearrange those links in the header; notably, when I click on my name I expect to be taken to my profile, not a place to manage my account.

Cheers,

Edit: If you're wondering, after reading internet resources, I tried ashe Jungle in a bot game, and determined that (unlike twitch jg), it has not a hint of viability (I almost died to red buff). Oh well, no arrows from the fog of war :(

Edit #2: Whoa, I guess I never finished typing "Visual Design Suggestion" in the title.

Like the idea, and I see that GIMP there. I approve. =D

Assuming they use some sort of modified Bootstrap (http://getbootstrap.com) - This would be as easy as changing the line with the menu from from <ul class="navbar-static-top"> to <ul class="navbar-fixed-top">

That just flows so much better than the current design. Fills in the awkward space with something.

I like the idea of a header bar, too!

I wished the hole online presence of League of Legends ( League of Legends, LoLesports, Wiki, Boards, Matchhistory) would be like this new shiny ( or darkish) boardstyle !

I'm working on a custom skin that has something like that. Figured this was relevant enough to mention.

I didn't fix the whole top bar though, just the navigation breadcrumb, but I also put the search up there. And it's still a bit WIP, so don't mind the off colours.
