Slayer Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 we have contests right?do what I suggested a long time ago and make contests out of forum games that are competitive like the Insult GameWe really need to start organising contests for the new year.I dunno. I mean, if in the right hands, the shoutbox can be a good thing, but as long as people like me and Hope are around (), you know that'll never be a safe place to tread, especially when Koby is the only one who is able to do anything about it.the answer to that is more authority.Besides it's only a shoutbox who cares who says what.but maybe we can get one of those that requires you to be a member to post.

† Emotional Outlet Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 I thought it ate up bandwidth or some strange thing... I think it had to do with the queries thing?Anyway. The shoutbox really shouldn't be a collection of crap on the front page, displaying all the asshole-ishness of anony-posters. And if I recall, hardly anyone used the D-Shoutbox, save from the initial frenzy of posts when it first came into play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 ^thats cuz you had to do all that work and take your but to a new page but i guess that would be better if it's on a seperate page just in case it's full of spam so it doesnt make the forum look bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Lol, I'd bet. Instead of a shoutbox, we could do what most other forums do and set up an IRC channel. Or people can make use of the PM system. As for the people who want to talk with more than one person, well, that's what the forum is for.

Original Sora-14 Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Good one Bernie, the forum is a big shoutbox with smaller shoutboxes for people who want to talk about different things!!!I didn't know you could have a shoutbox that was shown only to people who are logged in.(Bern, there was Poop Woman too. Right? Lol, testicle twins......) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 Well If/when we get a shoutbox it will definatly be one that is used by the forums MYSQL, meaning Members ONLY. So no random guests, etc.. And staff of the forum should be able to mod it, not too sure how that goes though. Depends on the shoutbox Modification. Meh, so true bernie. We use to use one on its own page because of bandwidth issues, and used one hosted elsewhere on every page. But I recently changed hosts and all and have more bandwidth then I could possibly dream of using. Five whole Terabytes!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slayer Posted December 28, 2006 Report Share Posted December 28, 2006 and I think something funny is going on with your post count thing.i find it a little strange that this morning I had ten posts or so and now I have 40. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-PHXN- New001 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 I couldnt find where to turn on the fast reply, Cause i'd really like that XDedit:NVM found it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 For future reference for all the people who are lost about fast reply but are too scared to ask:Profile (from your little toolbar) > Look and Layout Preferences > Use quick reply on topic display. (From there you can choose to have it not show at all, show but have it off, and show but have it on. I have mine set to the third one, since it's most efficient for me. )It's not a difficult thing to find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-PHXN- New001 Posted December 29, 2006 Report Share Posted December 29, 2006 well, I'm using my godly fast reply right now..And I read all the check boxes, but didnt even think to looks at the dropdowns XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 I hate that I can't set it to always be open via the admin cp. >_< Because I'm afraid people before long will be requesting quick reply and I will have to tell them they have to enable it in their profile. O.o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Sticky? Lol.By the way! I don't know what they're called, but I think you guys talked about them a long time ago, but it would be pretty nifty to see a little graphic square that shows up by the URL of the forum in the address bar. We could totally vote on what it should be like and stuff. I was just reminded of it when I wandered to my favourite oekaki site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 You mean like the one I have for the homepage: http://forgottenmem.net ? xD They are called favicon's. I guess because they are icons that are used in your favorite bookmark, or w/e. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Yes, but one for the forum too. I never go to the homepage. <.<ETA: Actually, I can't see the favicon from the homepage. So if there already is one for the forums, I can't see it.Wow, never mind. Just refreshed the page and it loaded on the homepage. It's a conspiracy to make me cry "wolf". > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Sora-14 Posted December 30, 2006 Report Share Posted December 30, 2006 Bernie said the word of the day!!!!! I don't have anything to suggest that hasn't already been said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted December 31, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 You think I should put it here too, or have a different one for the forums? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Exodus Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 I only read the first page, so without reading the other posts...I see a suggestion for new skin was made. I'll be even more specific and say have a dark skin. Not black, but dark blue, dark, maybe charcoal gray? Someone may have requested a dark skin already but I can't be arsed to read every reply.

Koby Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 A preview of the new skin in progress can be found in the user control panel. You can change to that skin. It's called Verse Realm. Although I do NOT recommend using it yet as it is still under work, and may have several problems, etc.. as I do some work to it.

-PHXN- New001 Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 I really like it, The buttons that mark what has been read and what has not are a little funky, but i like the color and everything else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted January 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Well everything is being worked on, including the images. So except those to change colors etc.. when I fix everything and finish it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
