Title: Latest news about the site
Post by: smokester on July 13, 2011, 04:30:56 AM: The site has really been overhauled now and is cleaner than it has been since it was first created. The new theme is our own but I have used a colour scheme from one created by someone else. Now that the hard part is done, a lot of other things can be included like possibly some arcade games although, I wouldn't install many.

We'll keep the members posted about changes in this thread, and of course you can use the error reporting ones for any issues you encounter.

Post by: smokester on July 13, 2011, 01:48:20 PM: Yes this is the "layout", as it has the replies on the right as we used to have and I have arranged all the other elements to be similar to what we had previously, and the rest is just creative licence.

Personally I like it, and as I have little time and even less for unpaid work, I am happy now start rebuilding all the other custom elements we (all) wanted and included in our previous installation.

Of course, if christ wants to design and build a theme compatible with this version of SMF, I'll add it and enable an option for members to switch to it.

Omnipotence is OK and all, but showing off is frowned upon.

You could always take your time, that may make it less awe-inspiring.

Post by: smokester on July 22, 2011, 03:58:10 AM: I have fixed the issue with the images not resizing properly, and now anything over 780px will be viewed at that. Full size view should also open in a new window.

Post by: smokester on August 06, 2011, 02:48:51 PM: The always-uncensored feature of some boards is now back, which to my knowledge is "The Darkside" and "Adults only". So beware the colourful language in those if you do use the word censoring option.

Better off the other way round, so you can flag a post that is actually on topic.

... at least where my posts are concerned.

More like: "Never a dull second" - but that would just be nads.
