Dies to Removal

Well, it seems I now have something I need to do tomorrow

Guys, you probably noticed that something very cool has been added to the site

Good. These last days have been hectic for me. I've been trying to do my best and improve what people see as not well executed. Insofar I think the biggest achievements are: - A decent number of diverse and cool looking forum skins - A mobile skin that automatically switches on when a mobile device ...

Guys, keep the spam low, otherwise we cannot make any decent brainstorming in here.

Not at all. Either its something that needs to be enabled in the Admin CP or if not, we can install a mod for sure

So, one (and totally inconsequential) small thing that I like about GG that Sally didn't have was the thread subtitles. Any chance there's a turn on button for those? I'll look into it So, this can go way down on the priority list, but the [ONLINE/OFFLINE] box and "Joined: XXXX" pieces in...

Yeah, but as long as we don't switch servers there's not gonna be any financial transactions over here, so we can use it I think

OK guys made subsilver2 the default skin

Cool, That's exactly what we need GR, initiative, and not waiting for me to give you guys the OK. We are definitely not gonna go the MTGS route, so you don't need to ask me permission for anything if I already gave you the power to do so

I took the settings of the other site as a reference. I suppose 120x120 couldn't hurt. Updated!

Tomorrow I'll try to fix the new skins so they have the same functionalities than the old ones.

Edited poll with the new options, you can change your votes if you want, the poll allows it.

Had some time and finally installed the two dark skins GR suggested:

CA_black
Lucid Lime

plus two others that were some of the most popular in http://phpbb3styles.net

aeroblue
prosilver special edition

Try them out and give us your feedback

I've looked already into it, I'll have to make code changes, and mod installs. Another idea could be to do some screen captures of this forum with the different skins, once we have a skeleton forum structure set up, with indications on how to change the skin. It would be very invaluable. I'm gonna w...

People: There are as of now 4 administrators with the highest clearance possible. They can help settting up the forums structure, hire moderators and staff. I prefer to keep handling the backend stuff and bring new skins and mods (thanks option, last post title, etc...) because it already consumes a...

I have given Azrael, GR, kpaca and Kijin full administrative rights.

This means they have the permissions to create and delete forums/subforums, and to edit their names.

Feel free to go wild on our little empty canvas. If there is need for new forums go ahead and take initiatives.

That's actually a catchy one. Salvation2.0 and such

Yeah, I think things are accelerating. We certainly could have used more time to make more improvements, but what can you do at the end of the day if MTGS decides to go even souther than it has?

Also we could seet up a banner now, it would improve dramatically the looks of the site.

GR, up to the task? bear in mind that each of the three skins has different rectangle dimensions.

I have put vphpbb3 as the default skin for nostalgia reasons (familiarity with MTGS scheme). However this scheme is 3.05 only (phpbb3 is at 3.0.10 as of now) and doesn't make the forum software justice. silverlight2 or even the other (prolight) are much better. Should we skew familiarity in favor of...

You guys can invite who you see fit. Feel free to bring new people and new ideas around.

Allright people, made a bunch of new subforums, and added admins and moderators withouth their consent

If someone is unhappy or wants something done, fire away

I wonder what would happen if people mention that there is already a split-up forum in that reddit thread? hummmmm.

will make the Mafia subforum this week-end

The MTGcommunity is a dead italian site. I thought about MTG Communities also, but as a legal person you are better qualified to know if it would fly or not

Not yet, its in the TODO list

I'm thinking our official stance, once we go public and implement our *super secret industry-changing strategies*, should be one of cooperation with MTGS, not rivalry. I think we could make significant inroads through that tactic, as opposed to polarizing people into two camps and leading iridium t...

One of the most awesome things in phpbb3 is the degree of customization and diversity of the different skins. We should tap on this awesome resources

GR: that skin is real nice, will put it on the list to upload to the site

Still if you go into the technical issues forum, I'm very happy at the progree we have in just two days. A lot of things are still ugly, but we already have a mobile skin which takes over when it detects you're on the phone. That's high end already, you guys just try to login from your phones and se...

Agree. Since I started patching this I've became much more sympathetic to the plight of making modifications like in salvation. You need a lot of low level machine access, you can break stuff easily, etc... It takes much longer to implement things than anticipated. Bear in mind that community patche...

OOOK I think I fixed the skin, it should work now.

Vote away and let me know if there is any problem.

PS: We are at 40pp as of now. Can be changed globally.

I picked vbphpbb3 for thse who are used to the other site default layout, but that skin is outdated and not compatible with some of the latest features.

I had to add quick reply by hand, and it seems I will have to fix this by hand too.

OK its a problem of the default skin. the other skins (subsilver2, prosilver, php3bb-mobile) work

wth? Didn't tough the poll options.

brb fix

Oh yeah, and I'm going to change those awful smileys for sure today

Yes we can :obamateach:

I'm gonna set the forum global settings to 40pp then. We'll work from there for now.

For now its just a global setting, there might be a plugin for that. I've set the forum to 25pp, but we can change the value if a majority of people feel another figure is more convenient. It's one more thing in the TODO list. Decktags and cardlinks too, but I have to actually get some real IRL work...

Hey Madding! Welcome

GR, I have a job for you: could you look in http://phpbb3styles.net for some nice skins to add to our 4 acual ones?

That's all for today, have a nice night of sleep!

Great GR is here too!

I think we are going to have a nice chat about this site ugly smilies and other things that can be improved
