wowzers and way cool

The IP identifier thingy that goes in the locked topic is cool beaners lep..

nice addition.

[edit]

seems to be with all posts too :smile:

nice effect

Well given that it won't actually tell you the IP, and that the link is normally only there when you are an admin, I'm betting that IP? thing is there in error.

It's only a small bug, most people shouldn't see it- should get the java thingy working again soon... it's part of these 'big' forum changes I mentioned earlier, basically there are going to be 3 ways to view a topic :smile:

Ok, I'm still working on it but have a look at the 'xen' theme I've just added and come back to the forums :smile:

The green, It burnses!

I really do like those countoured nameplates in the Xen theme, but the green seems to clash a bit much with the black BG.

Really cool though, I love the idea.

Just a thought- it is INCREDIBLY hard to read through posts in this theme- there really needs to be some sort of seperation/more blankspace/something NOT green inbetween posts. They all kind of mesh together, and it's hard to just read through the posts.

I think if the green is toned down a bit- or perhaps I should just use the same stylesheet and link colours etc.?- and put in more vertical bits and pieces, it won't look so cluttered...

I was kinda disappointed judging by the name. I expected a crazy conglomeration of the underused xeno textures, but instead there's all this futuristic looking stuff with clean lines and all. I would change the name of it to 'tech'. An idea I think would help make it easier to read is to change the background of the post between the green bars to something slightly different from the background. You could even integrate it with the green horizontal bars to make it look even more tech-like.

Edit: I can't believe I typed that. I sound so stupid.

I noticed something else!!! Lep has added a new "smiley"...

The crate:

That's uber cool!

Is it just me or does the info under the avatar look like crap now? It looks unorganized and childish... It needs some capital letters, italics and maybe a smaller font.

Oh, and the Snark theme is kinda incomplete, you may wanna mark it with and asterisk for those who attempt it. The Xen theme was interesting, still a little rough. The "py" from the "Reply" button sticks down into the line under it, and that doesn't look that great, but all in all, it's the first time I've ever seen a board with multiple styles actually in use.

Wicked feature! It kinda makes me sad that I never got a website going :biggrin:

Did you try the java for auto-sumbitting drop down boxes that I posted in the 'teh gate' thread in the art forum? Bit of an odd place to put it but that's when I came accross it.

Ooops, you're not meant to see that, work in heavy progress :biggrin:

And Yak, yes I was hoping for something actually quite Xen like, but the point for now is the layout change- in fact if you give me the HTML for a single post I can make a whole new theme based around it in literally a minute. Images were never my forte!

I agree, you have to work on it a little more... I really appreciate all the different themes... make more of them!!! :biggrin:

I dun see a Snark theme
