I think there was another one after this thread. I nabbed it. But I don't get any kind of notifications yet when warnings happen.

I know that, and I already do, except when I forget... but some forums do that automatically, so you don't have to manually select to open in a new tab...Bookworm wrote:Generally, in most of the browsers, you just right click the link, and select 'open in new tab'.
Maybe I'm just too lazy...
Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
On the comments on the strip we could reply to specific comments and buld sub thread for original comments. This allowed some very good conversations about comments and topics. In the current format each post is a new message and trying to keep continuity to a single point is hard unless we build complex quote combinations to reference the point we want to talk about. Is there anyway to get that type of functionality to the forum? Without that the forum actually is more confusing and harded to discuss things then the previous comments were.
Ambush questions are fun. Watching the mental impact of them as they distort, or crumble, opinions based on faulty logic.
Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
As has been discussed, this will NOT be a threaded board. If you like chaos, visit /.
If you want to reply to an earlier post, use the quote section, and just chop out the sections you aren't responding to. It's not difficult. If the topic seems to be getting too crowded, just create a new topic, or ask a moderator to lock the topic and create a 'Part Deux' topic.

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
As my time is kind of tight, if one(more?) of you wants to go through the styles available at http://www.phpbb.com/styles/ - feel free to do so, and put suggestions here. Paul and I can try to sort through them.
People could also grab one of the graphics development kits if they wanted to try to create a custom 'Wapsi' look.

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
i leafed quickly through the designs available. Most are horrible but here is those i found both good and with left author icon and details :
CA serie
I prefer light backgrounds so CA gen2 even if too light,
Dark revil is a good high contrast one /methink,
Digital very good,
Rockn'roll silver could be a good base but need at least the icon set changed,
Soul city simplicity is one of the greatest but it is a rigthie post setup,
we_clearblue & we_universal are both simple,elegant design,
subsilver3 fit the bill but I dont like the color scheme.
there is a whole list of things based on subsilver2.
the ones i prefer :
* mg_autumn
* polyethylene great but narrow layout
* redsilver3
* serenity one of the best imho even if a bit too light
my top 3 : digital, redsilver3 & serenity, but my favorite would be polyethylene if a narrow layout is ok.

I tend to prefer darker backgrounds (light sensitivity and all that jazz), but polyethylene was nice...alj_ws wrote:i leafed quickly through the designs available. Most are horrible but here is those i found both good and with left author icon and details :

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
I prefer them too, but most darker background are on reverse contrast which I find myself even more aggressive. There is few layouts with a neutral background (around 18% gray) unfortunately.Julie wrote:I tend to prefer darker backgrounds (light sensitivity and all that jazz), but polyethylene was nice...alj_ws wrote:i leafed quickly through the designs available.

The narrow layout will cause problems when inline image are posted. However, If I'm not mistaken all Phpbb layouts are Css3 which means that enlarging the central column should be relatively trivial.

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
As far as I can tell, we only get email notifications for PMs, and only if you have that option turned on. Also, I apparently can't start PMs to others, or reply, but I can receive them.starkruzr wrote: I think there was another one after this thread. I nabbed it.

Mobile Theme
Khaki Black
Those are two I think could be useful, I'm still looking for a black and hot pink one that I like.

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
I thought the PM thing was just me being blind and not seeing where we were supposed to go to reply. I'll poke him about it. Can the rest of you guys (non-mods) start PMs?PrettyPrincess wrote:As far as I can tell, we only get email notifications for PMs, and only if you have that option turned on.

Also, I don't think we're going to move to a left-avatar theme unless we can also easily incorporate a good mobile theme, guys. Left-avatar makes mobile really irritating.
Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
Suggestion: Add one as an option, but leave the right-avatar theme as the default. That addresses mobile browsing but allows users to select their preference.starkruzr wrote: Also, I don't think we're going to move to a left-avatar theme unless we can also easily incorporate a good mobile theme, guys.

This is a really excellent idea. I *completely* forgot users can select which theme they want.

Hm. Private messages _are_ enabled. I don't know why it's not showing up. I'll do some more looking.

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
Ah, I may have some info as to why the mods have their PM off.
I was trapped for a few days in a Usergroup called "Newly Registered Users". Paul had to approve all my posts, and PM was not switched on.
I think I got stuck in there because I happened to visit the comic just as the Smiling Bud link for the forums went live, and so jumping straight to the brand new boards, I became something like the very first poster.
Later I discovered that all the mods were in that usergroup with me. Spooky.
Anyway, hope that info helps sort this out.

Re: Board Requests (Mods?)
Well, you should automatically move out of 'newly registered users' after a few posts. I've put all the moderators into groups, as well as administrators, and even _I'm_ not seeing the correct PM links
