Topic: The generic "we did something to the forum that broke it" thread

At least we are back!  woot

[Grimoire LD]

Indeed! I was starting to get a little bit worried. In the interim though Chillyfeez and I may have encouraged a few others to look into FFIV Hacking so it wasn't without its upside.

the Dragonsbrethren link just redirects to this forum, so i'd refine it to:
http://dragonsbrethren.slickproductions.org/dbi_archive/

some good reading there.

[Lenophis]

I don't know why his site redirects like that. I know he has content, but for some reason it's not working.

I also think it's hilarious that trying to toss in wiki support allows me to find what I need to add buttons to the top bar like that. It eluded us for so long.

ok, code blocks are illegible in the blueandyellow theme (though highlighting solves that).  see http://slickproductions.org/forum/index.php?topic=1964.0

any way for admins to force a dark block background in this theme?

[Lenophis]

Maybe I should just get rid of the blueandyellow theme? It looked good at first, but there's been a lot of complaints about it already since last night.

[assassin]

i think it's worth keeping and ironing out the kinks.  it's mostly nice, with the main problem being that bold text (e.g. forum titles) is kinda hard on the eyes.

[Lenophis]

Ok, editing the stylesheet was really easy, how does it look now?

[assassin]

nice!

another tweak needed is the stickied topic title backgrounds are yellowish, as seen on the Submissions board.

[Madsiur]

So, we're back! And I may have broken everything in the process! I'm working on it! :p

I'm glad slick forum is back up again! I have notice the home button link to the forum index page and the index button to slick home page... Shouldn't it be the the way around?

Also, it's pretty cool to see a wiki link. Do you guys plan to cover FF4 to FF6 in the wiki and how will/would it differ from datacrystal?

[JCE3000GT]

I'd love to see all of this put in to a wiki that's regularly maintained.  I would do it but I suck at the internets.  :)

another offender is 2nd level quotes.  ex:

i like trucks

i too like trucks.

3rd level and beyond seem okay.

and very minor: the "Post" and "Preview" buttons lighting up when the cursor's over them, you can't read what they say.  could hurt those with amnesia.

didn't the older SMF resize avatars if they're too big, or at the very least tell us what the pixel or filesize limitations were?  this one's quite mum on the matter.

Tweaking shall be done!

Those buttons are important! Don't forget about them!

This one should be, and I'm fairly certain the limit is 128x128. I'll check it out.
