Welcome to the New Forum

Post by StarFyre »

Come in, welcome, enjoy yourself, and do note that, aesthetically, the board is not complete. Which means there's some things missing, some images aren't right, and for some reason the silly logo is squished and refuses to unsquish itself in the subsilver theme. And I haven't even begun to edit the prosilver theme. BUT IT WILL BE DONE! WEEEE

Also. Search works. And you have more space for you pms.

Enjoy!

-Star, your new Master

LMAO oh my surprise when I checked on the old link. I was totally all "okay I get that they moved but... how... did they change... the page to be a redirect."

So can I safely delete all the forum info from Dev's and my webspace? (except for maybe the index.php with the new notice)?

Yep, pretty much. And I'm the one responsible for the redirect >.>;; A bit of hackery-loophole-goodness, honestly.

I am so very pleased that everything transferred properly. I was having a bear of a time with the database for a while, but I eventually got it all sorted (and in the process of getting it sorted is how I figured out how to drop the redirect in place ^^;; ), and now we're on the fully updated phpbb3. Of course, that means I need to edit the themes to fit again, but ah well.

Yep, I'm good at that. Just like I hax0red the database to give myself Admin privileges =P

This may sound super nitpicky but can we change the picture next to a thread/subforum for new posts to something more obvious again? I am having so much trouble differentiating between the blue and red. (I understand it's early to whine about this but I wanted to throw it out there in case it hadn't been thought of!)

Also kudos to everyone involved for transferring everything over so promptly and smoothly!

You're not being nitpicky. I've been slowly trying to convert the stupid themes, but the one I started with is subsilver, or whatever it's called, while the standard theme is prosilver. Never fear, I'll get it fixed sooner or later!

Not sure if anyone else sees this but on my computer the eggie "read/unread" images are showing up stretched on the forum index. They're fine everywhere else (like the little icons next to forum topics).

I'd heard that was an issue for StarFyre beforehand, but she mentioned hard refreshing to get rid of any weird errors?

I'll give it a shot. They didn't look like that when I first switched themes so they'd show up, so it's a possibility XD

Oh, wow, okay. I know what happened. I ended up editing the image for the forum eggs in order to make them center right in prosilver, then copied them back over to subsilver, which requires a different image size. I'mma go fix that now.

EDIT: And there, that should fix it.

Yaay! This is awesome! Just sayin', pretty stoked. This kind of makes me want to get into dragoning again, but holy crap, possibly the worst time to get that urge ever.

*puppy dog eyes* While I understand the "worst possible moment" part, I'll have you know that I'll continue to puppy-dog eye you, and maybe even send various bribes to you through post to tempt you back. =P
