I like it, make it a different color, so it changes things up off the main page.

Yeah it was, presser and i are working hard on the site, well, as hard as possible. I am also very busy with other web sites.

Expect more updates in the upcomming 48 hours.

The default style is the blue-ish/cyan looking one, so we used that. It might change in the future.
It is nice if the look is constant, so we don't have to make a lot of changes, maybe at the end of the week, it gets improved and more dynamic.

About the URL; we are looking into that. But we already know it points to the forum directory, and not the frontpage. We hope to fix this with the hosting provider, or do it ourself.

It looks like it just loads a frontpage, with a link to the forums, the webmaster needs to update that, or whatever the owner of this forum wants done. we are discussing this at the moment :)

It is very hard to make a unique board, if they all install the same type of features. Through time, it will get more and more unique, I am sure :)




Thank you all for your feedback.

we definitely need to go with a different color scheme ...mayb a darker blue and somehow get rid of the yellow in the "new post" icon...some other color

The looks of it are ok. I was the second no vote becuase now everytime I have tried to post or go to user cp it freezes and is much slower then before.

Maybe this is a newness glitch. It is not my computer because I recently restored it and early today b4 the change it was going from post to psot fast. Other than that it is cool, now looks more like other sites.

One of the cool things about it before is when I first saw it it looked very different and it gave the sense that their was real good information on the site. And there is. Is the logo still on there? cannot remember, must have resized it or something.

floris

The new features won't slow down the normal behaviour of the site at all. It is seperate from the forum. If there is a new lag, it is due to the server or the internet. Not because of the new frontpage or the new archive or the news ticker.

ok...i may be blind but on the new page i cant find the forums anywhere except when u click on the new posts and then u can get there from there...also...the new 2nd main page is to big for the browser...meaning the right side is hard to see...u have to scroll over to see who had the last post....know what i am talkin about?just my 2 cents

dedprez*
04-22-2003, 05:04 PM
other wise it looks pretty good:)

Have to click "home" bro, need a forums link instead.

floris
04-22-2003, 06:40 PM
I know, but I do not have the button set for this style. So couldn't update the buttons. Using multiple designed buttons looks stupid :P

Presser
04-22-2003, 07:16 PM
yeah i was wondering where forums link was, steroidaology has one and i thought we were doing that type of front page

however if anyone cant find the board from the main page they dont deserve to post here anyhow,lol

floris
04-22-2003, 07:40 PM
Well, the hack is the same, and I have customized steroidology.com

Presser
04-22-2003, 07:45 PM
understood bro,thnx

floris
04-22-2003, 08:14 PM
I also coded the links in the left on the section that is called 'quick links' and I have coded the top menu buttons to be named [home] [forum] [usercp] [calendar] [etc]. (and removed the ugly purple background)

Presser
04-22-2003, 09:01 PM
thnx bro, we all apreciate it, except the guys who voted no to the poll, ill go check to see who they are in the admin center then we will ban them,lol

What's up with the top 10 posts not being aligned correctly. It looks like the html table is off or something. Any ideas?

floris
04-23-2003, 09:54 PM
Yeah, it is the coder of that feature who didn't know how to use html properly i think :)

Maybe we should rewrite it ourself and fix it properly. The width of the screen is also an issue.

Presser
04-23-2003, 10:12 PM
it aligned on my pc but if the masses see it all fucked up i would love to have it fixed maybe

floris
04-23-2003, 10:14 PM
It maybe just needs a alignement set to baseline or top, rather then center or middle.

When we have the most major features added to this site, we will process the little design issues and typo's, including this top10 thingy. Thank you for pointing it out :)

04-24-2003, 07:36 PM
i like the check mark to show a new post!!

04-24-2003, 09:48 PM
I agree, a darker blue would throw a bit of contrast in here.

floris
04-24-2003, 11:14 PM
Goto the user control panel,
then select 'options',
at the bottom, it will have a drop down menu, you can select a new style there :)

Today I installed 3 new styles to the site.
Tomorrow I will integrate them further and tweak them, so feel free to Private Message me any errors in links or images.

But,
enjoy! (since we didn't officially announce them yet)

Ok, I know you've got teaking to do, is there a link to all new posts for all forums for these? If I missed it ignore me. But I love it.

Harvey Balboner
04-24-2003, 11:36 PM
I would really like the see the top 10 recent post lined up better, I know people with long screen names like mine throw it off.

But the main page is looking cool.

04-24-2003, 11:36 PM
yeah i only lke the aqua blue but since dedprez bitched so fucking much i figured we should ad 3 more new skins, plus scorpio brought it up so floris said "let their be light" lol

If you can't log out, or having problems loggin in, then the cookie on your hard drive is corrupt.

Steps to fix that:

1- Close all browsers
2- Find the cookie on your harddrive, and delete it
3- Open 1 browser and login again

Yeah FG has it, its a nice feature to see if people are just blowing you off or if they haven't read you PM yet.

If you goto http://board1.mantisforums.com/upload/private.php?s= this page and on the right from the drop down select folder: inbox, outbox, tracking .. then you should get it.
It is a per usergroup setting. Administrators can use it, not sure about other usergroups. Ask presser! I can set it, but I can understand why it is turned off too :]

Contact presser and see if he wants to enable message tracking for your usergroup.
