**View the Board with New Skin**--Works in all versions!!

[Matt]

Hello all.

At the extreme bottom left of your screen you will find a drop down to choose skins. The new one is "Default 3.7"--fell free to look at it if you like.

I would love if a few people could change over and have a look at it. Not much different except the profile page. Its pretty cool, go under member list and have a look at anyone.

We left a new feature in there called "comments". You will see it, its so folks can leave a comment on your profile. We may or may not leave it, if its abused at all, its gone.

Also, in the welcome box upper right, you have "your notifications" now that is a drop down for PM's and comments.

Someone could check other browsers like Safari to see if its good to go for me. :huglove:

Known issues:

-None of the cmps blocks work on the site pages (stuff like "random image") because they were all a style template I added to the old one manually, obviously not in the new one. :(

Have a look, post problems in here.

Weirdness Matt. I'm viewing the 3.7 skin right now. All I have to say is WOW. :rofl:

I do like the profile comments section!

[Matt]

Yep, its always been a worlds of wonder skin, we just tweaked it for our uses.

[Lee]

I like it alot. :) Thanks Matt!


I noticed the country flags are gone..

[jayson]

Seems to be working fine in Safari Matt.

I like the large names. :)

[Rjeso]

I like tohe general look of the tweaked skin you guys made, the darker background is nicer than the lighter one - much less stark-looking. However, the user profile options for visitors are kickass. I usually prefer functionality over looks, but I guess I've made it this long without being able to comment on people's homepages and I really like the old look.

*switches back to the old style*

[Daghain]

I am not seeing this "your notifications" thing. Is is maybe because I have no new PM's?

ETA: Love the new profile page, bigger names is ok but I think it would look better if they were bold or something (but you now how I am LOL).

Its actually the same exact thing Rjeso, just an updated version. :thumbsup:

Country flags, got it Lee, thank you.

[Matt]

I changed the title of this thread. The upgraded skin now works in all browser versions.

The site will soon change to it permanently. :cool:

Still have a couple of bad smilies though. <_<

[William50]

I am loving this. Great job dude! http://www.mysmiley.net/imgs/smile/sign/sign0011.gif (http://www.mysmiley.net)

[Rider_of_Discordia]

Nice crisp borders ... but the same lovely butterscotch flavour! I like it!

[obscurejude]

Matt, great job. :thumbsup: My only complaint is that if someone has a big name, All_Hail_The_Crimson_King for example, its the same font size as the rest and makes the thread lopsided.

[Darkthoughts]

I like it, I'm always up for something new :cool:

[mia/susannah]

i like this new version. Thanks Matt

[alinda]

Count my oppinion as :thumbsup: Good job bossman :D

[turtlex]

I like the new version, too.
Great job, Matt.

[Matt]

Matt, great job. :thumbsup: My only complaint is that if someone has a big name, All_Hail_The_Crimson_King for example, its the same font size as the rest and makes the thread lopsided.

I put the font down a bit for the usernames, its the same now as it was before.

Hopefully that fixes the problem, and thanks everyone. :wub:

This whole thing wasn't exactly by choice, it had to be done. :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

wow. nice clean borders between posts. a total overhaul of the member profile page. a way for comments (and not just member comments) to be posted. statistics and mini statistics (and a much easier way to catch people viewing "who's online" HA!).

it looks really cool. nicely done matt, very nicely done. :clap:

Well done Matt. :thumbsup:

[Matt]

Thanks you guys, I'm trying very hard to get the dang mood manager back as we speak.

Everyone will be required to change to this skin as soon as I'm done tweaking it.

[Míchéal]

I like it...

[The Lady of Shadows]

i really like it in ie 6.0 (i love the black outlines on everything - i know, that makes me weird!).

[Daghain]

Just the fact that you like ANY Microsuck product makes you weird. :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

oh yeah. like i'm gonna go out and buy an apple or a mac or something and then have to rebuy all the software that i already own because it's not mac compatible. i don't think so. can you say i'm too cheap? :lol:

besides, i can fix a windows based system with my eyes closed (yeah, almost literally) so why should i switch? it's easy to keep it running. and i refuse to switch to vista (which is the devil). :P

but that doesn't change the basic fact that yes i am insane. :)

[Daghain]

Vista IS the devil.

Which is why you should switch to a Mac. :lol:

[Daghain]

Vista IS the devil.

Which is why you should switch to a Mac. :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

says the lady who posts everything twice. :rofl: :fairy:

[Daghain]

That's a MICROSUCK board error, missy. :lol:

[The Lady of Shadows]

:P

[Brice]

besides, i can fix a windows based system with my eyes closed (yeah, almost literally) so why should i switch?

That would be because windows is an inferior product that fucks up more and you've HAD to learn to fix it on a regular basis. :P If you'd get a mac you might not need to learn all that

[Daghain]

:thumbsup:

What Brice said. :lol:

[Patrick]

Thanks for all your constant work on improving the site, Matt. The new skin is nice enough, but can we make the black borders around every post go away?

[Matt]

You have to upgrade to the new version of Internet Explorer to make them go away, they only appear in that browser (old version). :couple:

[Nerak]

Thanks you guys, I'm trying very hard to get the dang mood manager back as we speak.

Everyone will be required to change to this skin as soon as I'm done tweaking it.

and just how do we do that?

[Patrick]

You have to upgrade to the new version of Internet Explorer to make them go away, they only appear in that browser (old version). :couple:Thanks, Matt. It must be my IE link at work, because everything looks fine here at home using Firefox. :)

[Matt]

Yep, it was the same with me at work. I upgraded it but I'm not sure if I was supposed to :lol:

Karen: I have the new skin as the default now. :couple: So you are on it.

[herbertwest]

hmmmm: am not really keen of the new skin, and the little thing that does annoy me is that everytime i sign off/on, the new skin is on, and i do disable it...

anyway to actually choose the skin we want?

[Jean]

talking about those wonderful, wonderful yellow folders - can't we make our other blue folders, those that stand for subforums, yellow too? that would be superb!

[Matt]

Sorry man, this skin is an upgrade. Its not a choice.

Upgraded board means upgraded skin, we have to stay current. :thumbsup:

The new skin is "on" now when you sign in because its a default for the board. As we move forward, many of the upgraded add ons will no longer work with the old skin.

(this has already happened with moods)

[Matt]

That is actually a little piece of paper that is either white or blue depending on if there are posts in there. Much bigger challenge to change those than the simple image that represents the folders at the top.

Its not something I can mess with right now. :couple:

::hopeful bear::

[Letti]

Matt, wow man. We are getting prettier and prettier. Thank you. *hug*

[Jean]

We are getting prettier and prettier.
well, at least you definitely are!

[Letti]

Am I on crack, or weren't they white and blue before?

oh, and daggers? yes, you're most definitely on crack. see: all answers regarding mac vs. pc for details. :lol:

[Daghain]

Bitch. :lol:

[Jean]

Irish Dawn: yes, they always used to be blue, and it always got on the bear's nerves... When they just appeared, I said that they looked like poor people's robes in squalid hospitals, which only caused unseemly hilarity within the community. But, since nobody but the bear seems outraged by them, let them be!

[The Lady of Shadows]

Bitch. :lol:

you can't see me but i am holding out my invisible skirts and curtsying to you ever so sweetly. :P
