| I have been pondering on a new theme for a while. While this theme is alright, it is showing its age. I came up with a plan and started building a custom theme with graphics I put together while using the base of these forums theme. Right now I don't have an official ETA yet, but i'm shooting for the end of the week.Release Notes- Thursday April 1, 2010 - New & Cleaner portal
- Fresh theme design using CSS3 - To get the full CSS3 effect, use either FIrefox, Opera, Chome, Safari or anyother up to date browser (NOT INTERNET EXPLORER) unless IE9
- Enabled Global Announcements - Recent Forumotion update.
- Enabled Attachments - Recent Forumotion update.
Please note with the attachments, I will limite the file upload size to 250KB. The reason why is because Forumotion only allows 20MB free per forums, unless I pay them $6.95 USD for 500MB each month. Please use this ONLY for TEXT BASED files. This can be useful for uploading Guild Wars templates for team builds in a zipfile. ______________________ Web Designer & Developer @ Tinyminute.com / Gamer / Apple Geek / I.T. Guy / MacBook Pro User

| I didn't expect the theme to be done this soon, but I decided to ax jQuery stuff as it takes longer to program and It would probably not see much use. Tomorrow morning (Thursday April 1, 2010) I will install the new theme. Release Notes- Thursday April 1, 2010 - New & Cleaner portal

| Love the design. One nit picky thing, though. I'm not digging the comic font. It just seems out of place to me. Not knocking the work, I LOVE the design. Maybe it's that I'm using IE (at work)? |

Im sad . I think the buttons are awesome. I tried it with different font but it just looked awful. I would have to make another design and redo every button, and thats not gonna happen right now. The buttons are way clearer and easier to read than before, and I added colors for them.

| Reaves it real nice. But does it gracefully degrade for weaker browsers. Such as phones, or even the dreaded IE. This is mainly a question as a programmer to a Programmer. |

It should work fine on smartphones (full view). There is no mobile version of this site. I would code it in if Forumotion allowed me more access to templates. The only issue I can see is loading the images, that would cause a slow down because the phones have a very slow processor. As for IE6, it has .png transparency issues. IE7, IE8 work fine. IE9 has css3 support.

| cool theres a thread on it. reave i really like the new look I see you got that bg you tried for banner on the forum bg, i like the layer script with the dark twill-fabric like look it melds well. the comic font didnt bother me, though it is similar to the banner it is a hair off, but kind gives a flare about it. -shrug- love the neon green and stuff for buttons too.
the portal over all looks a lot cleaner with the two column look. i noticed the chat box after scrolling down. not sure if it should be higher so people are more likely to click on it or not. kinda lost in the shuffle a bit. and i attempted to get on there but i fail, anyone got the thread on chat how to get nickname or do i just follow the /commands below chat box everytime? |
