Forum updates and requests

Post by Eggs Loki »

Here is where I will inform you of updates, and where you can make requests (try to bundle them at first, there are so many at the moment) ;)

Just added all the family smilies plus some other interesting ones.

:bigass: :sarek: :day: :harkley: :hitler: :chewy: :gagh: :zoidberg:

Let me know if the coding is off on any of them, I had to do it all by hand (and memory).

Also I will slowly replace all the ugly new default smilies with the better old ones.

has the board been loading slowly for anyone today? Maybe it's just my connection, but it seems to only affect this site...

It was just me -- there was a massive internet outage for Time Warner customers in NYC yesterday. Mine never went down but it was choppy all day.

Grab it or add a link to it, and I'll add it.

Is it something like this?

It's good you call them by the correct term!

Thanks for adding the yellow card smiley.

Fully customized style themes (that aren't full of bugs) are scarce for phpBB boards these days...I was looking at this one, I'd love any feedback about its GOODness, BADness or OTHERness:

https://www.phpbb.com/customise/db/style/black/

I'm sure I could change minor aspects of it (fontcolors, icons, etc.) Of course, the more extensions/mods I add to the board, the more scared I will become of trying to install a new theme. BUT WHO KNOWS...

It's good that avatars are on the right side! And, by that, I mean the left side. Of course now I need an av of Gillian looking the other way, probably.
