Pete Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Slaughter - you just don't like that sloppy pic from Aftershock do you? I vaguely remember it being a death-by-club-with-nail-in offense if I used that one and so far it's gone un-punished Anyway, the idea of the logo and pics was instant identification of each series (along with some general groovyness). There's still quite a few tweaks I need to make to the layout before I'll be happy with it tho, but I'll keep everyone posted... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Grenade Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 Yeh Slaughter, give the man a break. He puts his heart out and what does he get? Nah just joshing you!! Looking good man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Hey, I'm more than happy he's back in the game! I just have to do the same myself, as motivation is a little out at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 A week full of alcohol and hangovers (and *ahem* other stuff) would get any man down for a week or two (If only because the alcohol's stopped flowing ). Really though, we wouldn't have gotten this far without Slaughter. I'd still be pottering about with just my X-COM site and dreaming lazily (and I do mean lazily) of bigger and better things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 24, 2005 Author Share Posted August 24, 2005 Aftershock is getting close, so I'll be in action again soon enough. It's just the combination of hung over and quite a bit of catching up to do here that is hard . Oh, and that other stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zombie Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Trust me, you really don't want to know about the other "stuff". My stomach turns just thinking about it. :bad: Looking good Pete! My eyes must be better now that I increased the size of the fonts (via my browser) and the brightness (via my monitor). All kinds of new things are popping up every day. Kudos! - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 Nearly there - I solved the "problem" with lots of subforums and moderators being listed making the screen look cramped. Head over to the test forums and look to the right of the forum titles, then roll your mouse over the "Moderator" and "Subforums" links to bring up the list. Clicking on them will take you to logical places - a moderator list, and into the forum where you can see the subforums Works fine on IE, Firefox, Mozilla, but not sure about Opera. Not to be nasty to Opera users, but if it doesn't work, then you can still click on the links at the very least whilst the other 99.995% of us can see the hover as well Oooh, and it's not javascript either, so should work if you've got javascript turned off. Will tweak the background colours and fonts a little and that's as much as I'm going to do to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slaughter Posted August 25, 2005 Author Share Posted August 25, 2005 Looking good mate! I can see the popup when I hover over moderators and subforums with Opera, but they disappear again before I can get my pointer over there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 That's the one limitation - you can't click on those - it's only a "popup" (not really a popup at allas it's done with CSS) to tell you what's there when you click on the title - eitehr "Subforums" or "Moderators". The popup bit isn't meant to be clicked on. However, the solution apparently works across all browsers. Thanks for testing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zombie Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 That is an interesting solution to make the forums look less "cramped". I like it. What a novel idea! - Zombie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stun Grenade Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Trust me, you really don't want to know about the other "stuff". My stomach turns just thinking about it. :bad: Eghh.... I was going to put down, "And Zombie please don't answer seriously to my sarcastic question" Who would know that this would be his first post in the thread!! Anyway Pete, whats this hovering business?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Hovering business? Check out the test forums and move your mouse over the Subforums or Moderator titles next to each forum title and you'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Oh yeah, and all site sections/pages except the site main page shoudl now shrink down fine for 800x600 users. The one thing restricting the main page is the "Newest File" bit at the top, so I may remove that. Any 800x600 users care to test a little and tell me if I got it working right? I know some things are going to look a little cramped for you chaps, but all I can say is that yoiu'll have to bite the bullet and go to 1024x768 one day no matter how much it makes you squint. A lot of newer monitors (mostly flat screen) don't do 800x600 any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slaughter Posted August 26, 2005 Author Share Posted August 26, 2005 Wouldn't "Latest file" sound better than "Newest file"? Newest sounds like it isn't even a word... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I suppose so - not sure why I did that. It is a word tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoomMunky Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 "Most recent" is also an option... Though you could also make an argument for "Newly Arrived, But It Doesn't Mean We Love You Other Files Any Less." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 In case anyone hadn't noticed, the new forum skin is in place. I still need to change the buttons so they're a little better looking and so forth, but the tidying up excercise has been done. As for forums that have been moved: StrategyCore SectionThe Polling Station is now in the Off Topic forum X-COMd20 and the Simming forums are in a new Roleplaying forumX-COM projects has been deleted and all project topics are not in the StrategyCore Special Projects section Hi-ho, hi-ho, it's off to work we go...

Blehm 98 Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 hmmm, did you just fix the buttons because they were wrong a few minutes ago Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Nah, it's your browser's cache caching the page. I changed the buttons a few days ago, but there's no way to force a complete reload of the site's HTML on everyone's browsers. If you ever see the buttons wrong again, just press CTRL + F5 and it'll empty the browser cache for the page you're on and reload it all perfectly. They shouldn't swap around again any time soon though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PorT_Lobo Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I Think your site is very very good! Congrat guys!!!! The only "thing" i think is missing, is a section for Jagged Alliance! It's a great Turn Based game also, and soon we will have Jagged Union E5 Brigade and later Jagged Alliance 3D that promises a lot!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
