Title: New forum look and options
Post by: Gandalf on August 06, 2012, 11:32:15 am
Did you wake up good due to the bright screen? Great then have a look at the new options.

Portal
This has a lot of useful additions that we will be using. If you do not have a high screen resolution you can remove the side bars, but you may miss some things so check them now and then.

Also the portal allows to change themes, as different people enjoy different colours.
We are going to add themes, including the "old" one, but it will take some time as they have to be adjusted to all packages. The main thing you should remember is that if you use specific font colours they may not be good for every theme.

Personal
Here you find your profile, and the bookmarks (shortcuts to favourite topics) that you made. You can bookmark a topic to make it show up there.

Members
This is where we are hiding the member map, as well as the Social Network.

Auctions
To sell your house and business, this is the place to be. If working good it will replace the selling boards.

Downloads
Here you will be able to upload your mods and find other useful downloads. Note: if you upload something be sure you have the right to do so. We will not offer illegal downloads.

Help
Apart from the general help and about us page, here you can report bugs on the helpdesk sections.

Our work is never done, and we are continuing to make some additions. If you want, you can help out by greating different headers. As we will add themes in very different colour schemes, you can use your creativity.
A full theme can be added, but for that it will have to be tested on 1024x600 with all packages that we use.
Try to stay within minimal editing of the PHP files, as this complicates the installation of packages.

Both current themes installed all packages without manual editing, and we strive to use only themes that do the same. Once we have a ready collection of themes, we will take the forum offline for half a day to install them all. As this takes time, use the available options for the time being.

Sounds great! It looks good, it will take some time to get used to it though. Interesting new features, especielly the "Auction" bar.

Great work! I looking forward for the themes :)

There comes the old theme named as "Argonath RPG"
(http://www.argonathrpg.eu/Themes/core/images/thumbnail.gif)

But its under construction, so no disputing...

As I said, there will be different templates so no use to make many topics about one of the forum looks...

This new theme seems like a degradation in looks to me, quite frankly. I'm sorry to put it that way, because I know a lot of work has been put into this, but I'm not going to lie either.

Post by: Devin on August 06, 2012, 12:45:35 pm
It appears members such as myself aren't able to access the "Social Network", "downloads" parts of the forum.
Is it a permissions issue or currently being worked on?

I suppose there is only one degradation - of your mind... Sorry to say but I am not going to lie either...

If you notify us its being worked on. Might have to do with being a moderator, as they have other permissions as a regular.

I also did not mean to insult you... But the guy, who sees degradation of other people in web design - is mentally degraded for sure... I just gave a fact... Live with that, ok?

I never said anything about degradation of other people. What I said was, that the current theme doesn't look as good to me in comparison to the previous theme. It is only an opinion, and I didn't mean to get you all worked up about it.

-Mentally degraded person.

Frankly, I've been waiting for this change for a long time although I got used to the old theme aswell.

Ps. I guess I am not the only one who notes it but can you remove the white borders from the background:

Well guys if you really need the old forum..

Scroll down:

You gonna see "Theme Select"
Then do "Argonath RPG"
Title: Re: New forum look and options
Post by: Caltson on August 06, 2012, 02:01:18 pm
I don't see how the old theme was better than this theme. It had many bugs and was in need of a design update.

By the way, is the current forum format converted to UTF-8? I believe this fixes the problem that some characters can't be used on this forum.

Yes there must be a mess with permissions due to the portal option, needs to be fixed one by one in two options... Thats a hell of work you probably will have to wait when we will set all permissions correct...

And Salmonella,
I've just answered to you the same words as you... If you got insulted, then that was exactly what you were trying to do here...

I can tell you that the Argonath RPG original theme made by us, was not even accepted by community at that time... And were a lot of shouts to remove the new design (OMG its dark, my eyes are killed!!!!! etc.)... We kept it... So that is not the matter of our degradation (if we chose that degraded template so we are also idiots) that's a matter of your conservatism...

As for templates - I wanted long time already to implement the templates chooser... As it became be boring, and needed the fresh drinks...

@gandalf or aragorn

can you do something like this new forum on paruni forum?
those subforums and the forum size looks very bad

Of cos we can
I did not see yet Paruni but I do know what are you talking about... Just finally wanted to move Argonath to the portal... As it is a portal, and no need to press anyone to work with the site... It will just work fine itself... )))

I actually did not understand all this topics crying about old theme, as we suggest more then one theme plus the news of site are the topics which gamers create, with that it is like participating as "portal authors"...

Reminds me - хотели, как лучше, получили, как обычно...
Title: Re: New forum look and options
Post by: Que on August 07, 2012, 12:51:58 am
I like the whole idea to put it all in one, which is a lot more effective than the old system, yet the white color could be made a little darker/into the blue surrounding one.
It has its ups and downs.

As for different templates, this will make the designing almost impossible for us photoshoppers who's using .gif and .png files if it's possible to change background color/templates.
That's the only thing that bothers me.  :(

Edit: The user info would look a lot better if it was left aligned instead of being centered, if possible.

Just to notify the "Members Map" appears to be bugged, it dosen't show every player who has marked their location and it shows diffrently every time you reflesh.

On my situation I tried to check Estonia and there was just 2 people, then I checked again then there was 11 people but I wasn't on it for even once although I got my marker set long time ago and did it again today.

With the option to disable the sidebar, I must say the design looks pretty awesome. The sidebar made it look too thin, I criticized it too much. Good work :D

The tool is for Gimli to fix. Registering I will check.
It looks like the post might just need to have the URL or code for the URL updated. The extra slash and quotation mark shouldn't be appearing.

Please, let the backgrounds be in one color in all themes, otherwise it will be impossible to work out some epic designs on the forum.

In IE or FireFox, press the escape key, it will stop it from flashing but you have to do this each time it loads a new page.

And for chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/eaebhojnielfeoillcfnbmkgliokndkm?hl=en-GB then do the same thing.

Found better one: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/gpgcolmilkcnccpllfdleobpflemehec?hl=en-GB

I see we have Soviet Union flags now. I propose we add the German Empire's flag and the Frisian flag.

Embedding youtube videos was made that small as people were placing youtube videos in their signatures, basically the only use for youtube videos on Argonath forums now is to post a URL as you cant watch it when it's that small.

Some people (myself included) disabled the sidebar because it was distracting and made the forum itself look too thin. I only just found a PM I was supposed to respond to because I had my sidebar hidden.

Why hasn't the old look been added yet?

The old forum theme is simple not compatible with most of the things we want to create. SMF with version 2.0 has chosen a different standard, and any theme based on the old 1.x versions needs constant manual intervention.

As far as the look is concerned, we made a choice to change after 6 years.
If we never change, we will never improve.
