I am beyond joyous. 

It feels naked without the black.

It's as pristine as freshly fallen snow. I hope the color scheme is acceptable, but if people object to it, there are other solutions. Like banning. ;)

I also wonder: do people have the [Light] and [Dark] options under the "Force Point" numbers to the left of the posts? That's supposed to be just a fun little Karma system, totally meaningless, but I just don't know if it's only showing up for me.

I can see the Light/Dark options on others as well. I clicked Dark for Card and it gave him a negative point. Sorry, Card. You rule. The white is diff but I dig. Also I cannot post images the same way I could before but that's not important. What's important is that we're here. Together. Being awesome.

OK, I'll try to figure out something with the images. What specifically is the problem?

I'm moving this Thursday through Saturday, so I'm just glad I was able to get everything up before then. That said, my response times will be slow until next week.

I like the color scheme. Reminds me more of AOL Space Wars Sim Forum  8)

Thanks for keeping it running Erasmar

If you want graphics stuff done I have some people I can talk to. Also, if you want a donation let me know.

Also, we need some IRC action up in this bitch. #SWSF on coldfront (if interested I can post the installation guide for using IRC).

By that I mean I used to be able to copy the image text from its properties into a <img src=" "> formula and it would magically appear in the post. I tried this morn to do the same for The Four on my Intro VE post but it just showed up as the code itself, not the image. No biggie but I assume its a programming thing and so over my head its ridiculous.

Alrighty, I'll give it a look-see and try to figure it out. It might actually just be a matter of checking or unchecking a box in the admin center.

By all means, if anyone wants to supply better graphics, logos, and icons for the forum, please do so. The current logo is a little amateurish and took me a couple hours using Paint.net -- I love freeware :). But if we could do better, I'm all for it.

Here's a couple sites I'm jealous of in terms of their look, layout, and features:

I'm a newbie again ... wow, I feel so empty ...

By the way, in law school, for those who were curious, we have about 50-100 pages of small-font textbook reading each day.  It's fun.  Really :-)

Alright, let's test some coding:

Bold
Underline
Italics
Marquee
Strikeout
GLOWWWW
Shadow
font change
color
BIG FONT
small font

Me too! It's weird being a newb. It's kind of refreshing to all start off on an even playing field. When I first got to the previous forum I was so intimidated and busted my ass to get up there. One day we'll all reclaim our glory but for now its nice to begin anew in a period of redesign. I just strive for at least some continuity and familiarity.

Good luck on the small font reading. That does not sound good for the eyes. And you changed your avatar. No more droids?  :D

Post by: GallPizi on September 22, 2009, 04:31:16 PM
Yall are going to need to start posting big time to make up for all of that. Although, you could just repost all of your stuff Syren ;-)
Title: Re: Welcome!
Post by: Syren on September 22, 2009, 04:38:39 PM
Hahaha! Nah, it's all safe and sound on my removeable HD. This is about the final chapter of VE with the spin-off rights going to the survivor. From there it can go anywhere. Just have to get there which is half the fun! Wheeee!

Try using the BBcode (http://) - tends to work better.

I couldn't find any droid avatars!
 I'll have to find my own picture!

I wish I could have saved Dravin's library of avatars. Maybe he still has it somewhere.

Welcome back? You must have been around before I rediscovered the forum :)

I'm like death.  I have always been here, always will be here, and always am here even when I seem to be in hiding.  :P

Well, death, who are you? And do you want to play?

Hello!

I'm a newb, just joined.  Where do we begin at?  I'm so dead-gum happy I found a SW sim by god!

I guess nobody reads the front page anymore.  :P

I was here before as ^raven^ but that caused confusion because I originally went by arickrol.  SOOOOOO I thought I'd switch back to avoid the confusion.  I guess it didn't help.

Raven... that sounds familiar. Were you in Dementat's sim at some point?
Title: Re: Welcome!
Post by: arickrol on September 29, 2009, 04:48:55 PM
Yep.  I'm also the one who posted the audo files of the iMac reading Bloodninja, which I'll have to repost when I can.
Title: Re: Welcome!

Yes, Raven, welcome back! He was with the GE on the old forum. Glad to have you back with us.  ;D

Someone may want to check the theme for errant code.

If you look all the way at the top left of the page you'll see ""

I'm guessing that somehow creeped in from some code.

I'm aware of this, but for some reason it only seems to be a Firefox issue. When I run the site using IE, the symbols are gone. The symbols only appear when I edit the index template; but if I don't, we don't get a chat button in the menu.
