gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 We're functional, and Schot has spent a marathon session putting the new skin in place. There's still tons of work to be done, but we hope you like the new home. As we're ramping up for Sacred, we've decided to bring the sacred forum up a level and make this part of our forum more visible and easier to access. Sacred is currently our busiest section and we hope to make it even busier. To everyone who's stuck through the downtimes, a big thanks More to come! gogo Link to comment
Funkilicious 1 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Great going Schot When you say changes, is that colourings, background or something else? Link to comment

Schot 407 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Welcome back everyone! Hope you all survived the Groovy Institute. Well I'd just like to let you all know that I'll be on vacation now for the next couple of months... I wish! haha. I will however be a little less visible as I'll be focusing my attention on completing the various bits of the skin. I hope you all enjoy the new home base look. For the most part I gave my attention to our main index page. Various things will need to be cleaned up and optimized which I'll be working thoroughly on. Page by page. A big thank you and congratulations to everyone who brought us to this 50,000 post mark. It's been a real treat being part of this growing family of friends and gamers alike and I'm looking forward to bright and sterling future. Cheers to you all! Link to comment
Silearth 6 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I've seen three different color schemes for this site since I joined. I have to say that this one is by far the best. Really nice. Link to comment

gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Did you guys notice the animated portals that show up on View New Posts Page? Another one of Schot's touches... A little piece of Sacred here in our very home gogo Link to comment
gial 2 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 (edited) For the most part I agree, I like the scheme vry much . . . but . . . I have issues. First, on this thread page, the background behind the names is too dark, so the name is hard to read in some places: Second, the captions are not always centered in the heading area, making them hard to read sometimes: (this one got bigger somehow. it is real hard to read on my screen at normal size, though): Also, what happened to "Todays Active Topics" -- all we have now is "New Posts" Edited August 6, 2007 by gial Link to comment
gogoblender 3,070 Posted August 6, 2007 Author Share Posted August 6, 2007 Excellent Gial. Thanks for the notice. Schot's got a super long list of fixes. Just getting the skin to where it is now was a 30 hour marathon. As soon as everyone's rested we can start getting to all the parts that still aren't up to spec yet. cheers! gogo p.s. Profile titles and clairity are a big area of concern for us and are high up on the list ^^ Link to comment
Funkilicious 1 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Yes I am finding it hard to read, as I do on SIF, so I have just changed the default skin back to the other. Just wondering if there is a setting in CP (SIF has it) so that the theme is chosen on log in. Link to comment
gial 2 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 I found the Todays active topics -- it is real small and not much contrast. I switched tot he other skin and saw where it was, then switched back. Guess it need to be a different color, or a little bigger is all. Link to comment
Arilaftia 0 Posted August 6, 2007 Share Posted August 6, 2007 Oh No rush here guys! I know the stress of just getting it to this point and the time and energy it will take to get it where it needs to go. Im just glad our home is back Link to comment
OMGSTUFF 2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 I really like the subforums hover ability! Link to comment
Katran 0 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 As Gogo and Schot said some things still need to be finished but before that Schot needs to get a good night sleep and some food to get him self back at full power. Link to comment
erialc 2 Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 Sleep?....Foood?...not a chance Link to comment
