bitchroast Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 (edited) i imagine fine tuning the skins will take some time, but they def need fixing up. here's my 2 cents for now.. i do find the default WATMM skin to be a real pain on the eyes. the background is too bright, and then the text is all lightly colored blues. the width and pacing on everything seems kind of borked too, in a hard way to distinguish why kind of way... the whole thing just isn't pleasant to look at imo. there's too much whites and light backgrounds for my preferences.. one good thing about the default skin compared to the Tomorrows Harvest theme is.. when looking at the list of threads, newly updated threads are clearly distinguished with bolder text. Tomorrowws Harvest theme by comparision, the threads with new posts are near indistinguishable. there's an icon on left, but because the text isn't bold.. it makes finding New #Content more of a chore than it needs to be. Tomorrows Harvest almost seems better, but the images used as backgrounds has whites in them ... the whole varying colors of the background in general makes the text hard to read. Tomorrows Harvest theme is not ideal at all. Edited May 3, 2019 by bitchroast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

goDel Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 How *do* you get a negative reputation, btw. If you're boss, like papa, you could give yourself minus points, or something? And yekkers, how did he end up in the minus? WATMM is reversed universe. Access the LTM by achieving maximum negative reputation. I'm confused. Although I must say that I appreciate the ability to read-up on my own warning points history. Who gave them. When. And why. Actually kinda amusing. Only thing missing is a link to the thread or post which was the last drop in the bucket. If I can add one wish, it would be that. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcbpete Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 I *think* the rep came from a previous incarnation of WATMM (mid 00-ies) when there was a praise and smite button (think that's what they were dramatically called) - Seem to remember one user having a hacked -60,000 or something for the lols 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm liking a lot of the choices you've made with the TH theme. Would love to see those in the classic theme as well! Do you see that on the horizon?

Yeah that's what Joyrex said, a groups permissions issue (I also still cannot @ tag people). The problem (as I just found out) also affects quoting. Also, where is the +260 pixels?

We are on Invision 4.4.3, whereas before we were on Invision 3.4.9. The trick here is Bandcamp doesn't (yet) support the oEmbed standard, which is how the forum automagically embeds media, etc. into posts. There are paid (like monthly fees) services that act as facilitators if the site you can't embed doesn't support oEmbed, but I am not sure if it's worth the additional cost. I could consider having someone make an addon (anybody do PHP development for a living? You might be able to help WATMM and the Invision community by having your addon for sale in their marketplace and make some $$$ too). 2 minutes ago, oscillik said: old school ref there You think now that we've finally upgraded, that xltronic will rise from the dead?

You know, I'm not sure - let me take a look at that again, and see how it's implemented. There's no media embed management anymore, so I might not be able to apply that (as a matter of fact, the more I think about it that's probably the case).
