Quick edit.

[dre1222]

It takes half a freakin year to save once done. I hit refresh and that works faster. Just FYI.

[jagowar]

takes all of .05 seconds for me.

[dre1222]

Well aren't you special, Mr. Staff.

[Aggie Fans]

It takes a long time for me too... but I'm on 56k. :D

[jagowar]

well i just tried with ie and its an IE issue.. firefox works perfectly fine. Not sure what is exactly causing IE to screw up....

[dre1222]

Then maybe you should figure it out.

[jagowar]

well theres no telling what it could even be.... did it work yesterday or has it been an issue before that? Its possible it could be one of the hacks I put on last night.

[Aggie Fans]

It's always been slow. I usually have to press save a couple of times.

[dre1222]

It's always been an issue. But I'm heavily buzzed and pissed, so I'm commenting on everything.

[jagowar]

ok... i know what the issue is (more or less). Its not doing the background refresh automatically for you (it does in firefox). Its probably a template issue (vly still hasnt ported over the new template... theres quite a few features missing)

test

[Aggie Fans]

Drinking on the job?

[administrator]

and i have confirmed it.... a template issue (and something vly will have to fix as he does the template stuff)

In the admin section we have reverted a test one back to defaults and ie can quickly do edits....

[dre1222]

So that means it will be fixed in about 6 months.

[dre1222]

I'm not drinking on the job. I'm at home.

[Aggie Fans]

Something to look foward to :) :(

[jagowar]

So that means it will be fixed in about 6 months.

go install firefox and dont have to wait 6 months...

[Aggie Fans]

I don't like firefox. I'm too use to IE and want to use it despite all the aparent flaws.

[dre1222]

I have installed firefox. I still use IE. I'm going to go pass out now.

[jagowar]

ok for you ie users.... i more or less finished a new template theme (that was reverted from the orig one). Everything should work fine in IE and now with the "rate this thread" feature.

You will need to set the new theme in your usercp section....

http://www.aggiefans.com/forums/profile.php?do=editoptions

the last section in that page should have a select theme.... the "aggiefans_default" is the new one.

[Vlyrock]

Jag, I don't think that's ready for public unveiling...put it on and go to the main page index (aggiefans.com) -- it kills it.

[jagowar]

frontpage is fixed....

[Aggie Fans]

Doesn't work...

[administrator]

what doesnt work? Being able to select the new theme (and it will look a bit different, if it doesnt look different from the current theme you are not using the new one). Or does the quick reply not work with the new one? I checked it on my IE and it works perfectly fine.

[Aggie Fans]

There are a lot of red X's on the front page when I switch over to the new theme. i.e. - I can't see these http://www.aggiefans.com/forums/images/buttons/collapse_tcat.gif or these http://www.aggiefans.com/forums/images/buttons/lastpost.gif

[Aggie Fans]

ugh, img doesn't work in the CS board..

[Aggie Fans]

also, on that bottom theme changer thing I can only swich from aggiefans_default to Default_ads, not the other way around...

[dre1222]

yeah, I don't know how to get to aggiefans_default

[Aggie Fans]

UserCP / Edit Options / Misc Options

[dre1222]

Ok. i didn't like aggiefans_default.

[administrator]

also, on that bottom theme changer thing I can only swich from aggiefans_default to Default_ads, not the other way around...

yeah i know... dont know why that doent work both ways (it should), it might be because there are only 2 themes.

And the icons should all be fixed now.... and i know the advanced reply looks like crap (im still trying to find where that color is being set)

[TwelfthAG]

Ok. i didn't like aggiefans_default.

What's wrong with it. That's what the site has always looked like... :confused:

[TwelfthAG]

yeah i know... dont know why that doent work both ways (it should), it might be because there are only 2 themes.

And the icons should all be fixed now.... and i know the advanced reply looks like crap (im still trying to find where that color is being set)

Yeah, icons are fixed now. Something is definitely wrong with advanced reply.

[dre1222]

No, it's different that the other default.

[administrator]

its supposed to be.... i made some modifications. (what specifically did you not like about it). This one is going to eventually take over for the real default one (since it was built from the new 3.5 templates... fixes alot of the posting issues). So if you dont like the look of something tell me now.

[TwelfthAG]

What's different, I can't tell.

[administrator]

1. Its wider (takes more of the page than default.... this was done to make it appear more consistent at the bottom where that bottom bar is wider on the current default than the rest of the boards)

2. Link hovers are the lighter maroon (no tan on tan where the link would dissappear)

3. The divider between forums/threads is maroon now too (used to be a purple)

4. Made the second col color white vs the purple (the purple is still being used in quick reply background for a comparison)

Im sure there are more Im forgetting about.... and I will get to fixing the advanced reply, trying to figure out where its hiding because its not part of the default color settings.

[Aggie Fans]

Oh, my window is small, so I didn't see that it was wider cause it was already taking up the whole screen. I agree with dre, the skinny page is better.

[dre1222]

I think what I don't like is the white and blue. on the default it's not quite as white. As I type this, it sounds stupid, but an off white looks better. I thought maybe the font was different but it wasn't. I pulled both up and flipped screens and there wasn't a huge difference between the two.

[Aggie Fans]

I like the off white better as well.

[Aggie Fans]

Also, the maroon divider between forums/threads stands out too much, I think a different shade of grey would do better.

[jagowar]

what about that? (its a 2 tone gray) for the col colors.

[Aggie Fans]

I'm liking the lighter grey you changed the left side of post to. :gig:

[Aggie Fans]

Woah, It was good for a second..

Change the dark grey where the words are back to white-ish.

[Aggie Fans]

Now everything is to dark. :)

[Aggie Fans]

I like it. :gig:

[dre1222]

Still too much white. Quick reply is too wide. (the border area, not where you type)

[jagowar]

I took down the total witdth a bit.... and theres not much you can do to fix the width of the qucik reply... its set by the width of the site.

I also made it a bit darker.... is that any better?

[Aggie Fans]

My criticism:
-Quick Reply is too white
-Site is still too wide and borders are too dark on forums page (makes it look like an excel sheet),

[Aggie Fans]

I took down the total witdth a bit.... and theres not much you can do to fix the width of the qucik reply... its set by the width of the site.

I also made it a bit darker.... is that any better?

I think she meant white, not wide. I could be wrong.

[jagowar]

well im not gonna mess with the quick reply until i get you all satisified frst.... ;)

[Aggie Fans]

Now the text area is too dark again. Something inbetween white and this color.

[Aggie Fans]

Did you change the left side??

[jagowar]

yeah so it would match our existing "staff", "site supporter" images.

[Aggie Fans]

Yeah, I figured we'd just make new ones while everthing else was being updated.

[Aggie Fans]

Ah, I just remembered my viewing is screwed since the moniter is so dark. No wonder I kept wanting it whiter.

[jagowar]

Yeah, I figured we'd just make new ones while everthing else was being updated.
true...

i also just switched the link color to the light maroon (and hover to black).. i thought the main page had too much gray but i think the darker maroon may be better.

[Aggie Fans]

Where the names always maroon, or did that just change?

[Aggie Fans]

I'd say make it darker.

[dre1222]

The usernames are too big.

[Aggie Fans]

Wern't they always that big?

[dre1222]

The color around the Aggifans supporter stuff is a different color than the rest of that block. And earlier when I said quick reply is too wide, I meant wide. This would be easier if I was looking over your shoulder telling you what to do.

[dre1222]

I didn't think so. Quick edit just worked for me.

[jagowar]

try refreshing.... the fan supporter stuff should be the same color as the background (atleast it is on my monitor)

and get in chat if you can...

[Aggie Fans]

It's the same on mine.

[Aggie Fans]

Can you make the names bold, they should stand out from the rest of those details some.

[jagowar]

done

[Aggie Fans]

Lookin' good. Text bagkground is still too dark to me, but maybe that's just this moniter.

[jagowar]

its very close to white.... only a few steps up from true white.

[dre1222]

It's just your moniter. It looks good to me.

[Aggie Fans]

The time online thing is gone :(

[dre1222]

Good, I don't like strangers knowing how big of a loser I am.

[Aggie Fans]

Good point.

[Aggie Fans]

Can the banner be wider? It doesn't end where the width of the post ends.

[jagowar]

yeah it can.... but we are going to have to create a new one. because the tail part wont stick over the page anymore.

[Aggie Fans]

Good stuff :gig:

[dre1222]

So we're going to put up a banner to replace Happy new year. How about dre1222 is a wonderful person? That way people who come here know right away about how wonderful I am.

[Aggie Fans]

But, I can't lie when I make it. :p

[jagowar]

well on the default style the new years one is already gone... ;)

[dre1222]

But, I can't lie when I make it. :p
:cry: You made a girl cry.

[Aggie Fans]

aww :(

[Aggie Fans]

When's the new nav panel going in?

[jagowar]

last i heard vly was still working on it.

[dre1222]

When's the new nav panel going in?

Is there anything that you are working on?

[TwelfthAG]

I designed the idea, I don't have the power to implement it.

[jagowar]

I designed the idea, I don't have the power to implement it.
well vly is having to go through and fix all of your hovers.... they didnt work right at all. And decide what exactly needs to be listed on the navigation panel.

Not to mention I still need to finalize the news feeds and all that good stuff...

[TwelfthAG]

well vly is having to go through and fix all of your hovers.... they didnt work right at all. And decide what exactly needs to be listed on the navigation panel.

Yeah, I know. I redid the whole thing because the link we're screwy, then realized the redesign didn't work but didn't have time to fix that before I left for Christmas break...

[TwelfthAG]

Not to mention I still need to finalize the news feeds and all that good stuff...

Would be easier if someone didn't delete the Master to do list :D

[jagowar]

Would be easier if someone didn't delete the Master to do list :D

:gig:

[Dustin00whoop]

I agree...I don't like the time on board thing....one its not an accurate number--all you have to do is open up your browser to Aggiefans & let it sit for 12 hours. Two, I don't want certain people seeing how long (especially if its an inaccurate number) I'm on here. :D

[jagowar]

If you switch to aggiefans_default it isn't there.

its not supposed to be there.... i havent added it to the new template yet (also notice there arent any ads yet either). Vly wanted to move the time count number to your profile (and i think there was a hack to do it)

[Dustin00whoop]

But it is there.

[jagowar]

yeah its still counting.... just not showing your times to you.

[Dustin00whoop]

Yeah, I know that 0083....but if you don't switch its not there. And really, its not me seeing others that I don't like. Its others seeing my time.

[jagowar]

you two just dont wanna see your real af "loser" times... ;) (and actually dustin it only counts time if you are active on the forums... i have verified this because i leave my ff on for atleast 12 hrs a day [even when im not there] and there is always a tab on AF but it only counts a hour or two a day)

granted mine is probably pretty high with all the stuff i do on the backend.

[dre1222]

How many screennames do you have?

[jagowar]

ok i just activated it in your profile.... still there but not as apparent.

[jagowar]

IE he wants to be able to spread his "time" and "postcount" over 3 accounts so he doesnt keep his #1 spot on the postwhore list.
