skyther Posted June 2, 2004 Report Share Posted June 2, 2004 I expect a 4-figure salary from doing this :grin: j/k :happy: I think the 20kB avatar limit isn't enough, I had to reduce it to 100x75 and save it at a quality of 2 using Photoshop in order for it to fit...

Christopher Posted June 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 We'll see. The more activity here the better, methinks. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted June 15, 2004 Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 heheh, I don't actually think I would be a good MOD. I just want people to think I am cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2004 Made a very simple style change on the main index; you may have to refresh to see it. Considering condensing the forums [asthetically, not content wise] instead of having seperate tables for each group of forums.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Made another style change, this time pertaining to the buttons underneath the banner. I'm still contemplating on how I want this to look, so if things change around a bit up there bear with me. I think you guys are used to me tweaking this forum obsessively, anyways. Tonight, I am also going to integrate a new look to the tables that will have a fade effect. This will effect the post listings, forum listings and others. Hopefully, if all goes well, that will be the final action I take for this template. I've been working modding a template so we can have another choice for users here, and I'll go ahead and show you a preview: http://demo.phpbbstyles.com/index.php?style=27 [obviously the server is not of my own, but this is what the new template will look like, with a few modifications of course :happy:] Do you guys like that style?

crazeybt1 Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 hmm....well i noticed there's no Statistics button.. ne who.. i checked it out..white n blue it looks nice..but only prob is that i spend most of my time here at nights...n i got a crt monitor with an antiglare screen...it works ok but constantly viewing the white i'm not sure..cuz sometimes even when i'm on Melyssa Ford's forum it bugs me... overall look is K okay .. love the icons and i hope with this we'll b getting better smilies...n most importantly.. speed Kurisu SPEED.. i mean for the whole day i've been on n off n at first i thought it was my connection but i guess not..it's the forums it was slow...let's hope the new look won't affect the speed.... but keep doing ur thing :cool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 Forums are actually not as bad as they used to be, it's really dependant on the connection and the server that minidisc.org uses - it's pretty outdated and old. We'll be upgrading eventually [hopefully], and one definite way to speed this process is through affiliate sales. Statistics are at the bottom of the page now, you can't miss it. btw - the default skin wouldn't be the blue one, it'd still be this one. I think this template is the best for the eyes and it'll be a long time before it's something else as default. You could have the choice of using the blue, as it won't be default. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jadeclaw Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 Made another style change, this time pertaining to the buttons underneath the banner. Would be great, if the login/logout-button reflects the state, if I'm logged in or not as it was with the text-link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I had considered this, and I may make appropriate changes. For now though, if you are questioning such things..take a look above the login/logout and you'll see a register button. If you see such a button you're logged out. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadeclaw Posted June 22, 2004 Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 *logs out* *logs back in* Ahh, yes. Now I see it. I'm just an old shortsighted dinosaur... :rasp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2004 I forgot to mention - I added some avatars to the avatar gallery. :happy: I'll add some more in a little while. Anyway, I've noticed the forums get pretty slow around 2 - maybe 6ish pm [EST]. We're on a shared server with minidisc.org, and the hit increase these days are higher than ever. It's nicer to surf this forum in the afterhours, methinks.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted June 27, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2004 I cleaned up the code last night by comparing our files to stock phpbb files. In the process, I found some more leftover code from previous modifications that I had forgotten to uninstall. Unforunately whilst doing so, I accidentally deleted a critical line of code relevant to posting. All posting functions were disabled for a good twelve hours, but it is now 100% functional and I apologize for the error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2004 Please press refresh for the latest graphics changes. It's a very small change but I feel it gives the board a very mature look. This is the FINAL version of this template, and I may even go as far as releasing it to others. It's pretty damn functional. Anyway, Morpheus [the blue theme I mentioned earlier] is less than a week away. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iceeedtea Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 Anyway, Morpheus [the blue theme I mentioned earlier] is less than a week away.I like blue. Dark blue is good. #000080 is tasty. --- haikus cannot wrote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted July 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 ..and my final gift to everyone before I temporarily leave is a faster forum [at the sacrifice of the listing of the users to log in during the last twelve hours].

Christopher Posted July 19, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 It all went really well. I didn't even swell up at all, most likely thanks to all the pills..it's good to be back, though. I missed this place. :happy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bananatree Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Speaking of swelling up, I got punched in the face and it is getting puffy Anywho, can you hook me up with the little squares in the background of the posts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 Hook you up? How? If you want the image you can have it, otherwise I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 21, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2004 The forum has been upgraded from phpbb 2.0.8 to 2.0.10. I have also removed the color mod for administrators and moderators as it was buggy and not functioning properly in all the aspects it was supposed to.

Christopher Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Added a swank new listing of the users who have logged in the last 24 hours, and it doesn't kill the server! Rejoice! It also gives some keen information in your profile about hits, usage and more [to mods/admins]. Enjoy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 Moderators now have a nice little control panel interface. More about this in the Dojo. p.s.

Christopher Posted July 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I've got a template editing problem..err..addiction.

Ppk3000 Posted July 22, 2004 Report Share Posted July 22, 2004 I've got a template editing problem..err..addiction. I changed the forum images on the index of the forums as I never liked the ones we were employing in the first place.I noticed lol... I refreshed the page a few times in the index and the new posts/no new posts icons kept changing on me... :wacky: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2004 I removed the MSN, YIM, AIM etc buttons from the topic listing page. It's all still available in the user's profile, so it seemed redundant to have it in each user's post. This trick has improved topic load time, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2004 Slightly altered the asthetics of the topic and forum listing for a sharper look. I also replaced the quick reply with a somewhat more functional one that is better coded [for the most part]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christopher Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Did a pretty big overhaul of the code, and now there are some little bugs and such laying around. I'll fix the rest tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I am aware of the speed issues with the forums and I will address them in a steadfast manner. I apologize for the inconvience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted July 29, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 29, 2004 Most of the speed issues have been fixed, but there are a few formatting/etc errors across the forum. They will be corrected gradually. I've had to remove the "word count" modification because it was inducing problems. I may add it back later.
