Guest Adjective Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 would it be possible to have something in that skin selector box where we could select a theme locally? if that were possible i think it would be easy for people to make and test their own.

Joyrex Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share Posted July 8, 2009 would it be possible to have something in that skin selector box where we could select a theme locally? if that were possible i think it would be easy for people to make and test their own. Unfortunately, it doesn't work like that - I really can't say what the 'best' approach on making a IPB skin is at the moment, because they've changed it so much... I guess you could save the page out and edit it locally, then go back and figure out how to apply everything to a new skin... I haven't fired up this forum in CSSEdit on the Mac yet - it's got a really robust CSS editing feature (realtime). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 is there any way to change everything back to how it was? i was gone for like a month and come back with everything different..it's tripping me out LOL, no - this was an upgrade to the forum software, in which the company decided to roll out an improved skin. Sure, it will take some getting used to, and eventually we'll have our own custom skin, so all I can say is learn to embrace change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modey Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 everyone always complains when a new version of the forum comes out. then they get used to it and wonder how they ever did without the amazing new version of the ignore feature where it almost looks like the ignored user didn't post at all, how wonderful!

YEK Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 can we get the bg to be dark blue. bg being all around the posts excluding the actual posts themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blir Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I'd also like a much darker colour scheme for the forum. The bright white kills your eyes after a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest tidbit Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 i dont like the info area on the left... centered (ugh), and all that useless information (ie. country/location, gender/interests & handles etc.) there.. (which are much more suited in the profile page than here) .. amongst other things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyrex Posted July 13, 2009 Author Share Posted July 13, 2009 how can we go about making new skins? I've addressed this in other threads... if you'd like to take a stab at making a new skin, take a look here to get started, and keep in mind this is the 3.x.x version of the forums, so anything pertaining to 2.3.x or earlier is not applicable. Also, here's the GDK for the 3.x version of the board - the only thing it does NOT include are the silk icons, which can be found here. ipb3_gdk_v1.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, nevermind - it appears that attached images, when quoted, don't show up as thumbnails - I don't know if that's a new 'feature' or not, but I'll see if I can turn it back on so images show, or if it's a known bug.

BobDobalina Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 Why are there far fewer threads on any of the page 1 (gb or any subforum for the matter) than there used to be?

modey Posted July 22, 2009 Share Posted July 22, 2009 i'd love to see a last.fm plugin for watmm that takes your currently playing track and appends it somehow to each post, ie. eliminating the need for a 'now playing' thread. .. and i don't mean putting a last.fm chart in a signature, this is different - it would show what was playing at the time of the post. uh?

Joyrex Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 is mid phase a shit hosting service? because watmm has been cut out a lot No, and actually, it hasn't been "cut out a lot" (I get weekly reports from a 3rd party monitoring company proving otherwise), more likely your pipeline to the servers was. The recent suspension was most likely due to the upgrade, as there was a CPU spike and they suspended it to avoid compromising the server and the other sites hosted on it. in the upper right corner below my name there's a box with links to my profile, my settings, etc. how do I collapse/get rid of this box? If this is staying open all the time for you, you're probably not using Firefox, Opera, Chrome or Safari, and are probably using IE6 or lower. Upgrade to a more compliant browser. If this is not the case, please provide a screenshot. It could be possible if you're using Firefox and NoScript, you might be blocking the JavaScript that runs a lot of the menus and stuff on the forum - make an exception for WATMM in NoScript to solve this.
