Site Updates v2.0

[SeaMyst]

I forgot to mention this:

If you haven't been contacted by me and given a user name and password for access to the Gallery, please send my a PM so that I can get you hooked up. (You can change your password once you get in.) I tried to send everyone their log in information, but I *know* I missed at least a few.

I've added a new site logo to the Inspiration Theme. I've also changed the default board to Inspiration. If you were using the previous default, ProSilver, and want to return to that theme, just go into your User Control Panel and change the theme in the Board Preferences Section.

I've also removed the SubSilver2 Theme. No one was using it and it's very similar to the ProSilver Theme. (And it was generic and ugly and came with the set up. lol)

There's a poll going on in Last Night Leftovers to vote for your favorite themes. You can vote for up to five. Vote Here.

I intent to keep Inspiration as the default which is why I did this logo first. As we decide on the other themes, I'll create logos more fitting to them - or (also in the vote thread) you can submit logos for your favorite themes - other than Inspiration.)

I added a subforum in the Personal Updates section that will serve as a repository for update threads that haven't seen their owner's in quite some time as well as a place to put update threads that are getting a bit large and unwieldy. I didn't want to put these in the Catacombs where they'd disappear. I think keeping them closer for those that want to review someone's update thread (or their own) can easily find it.

I'm considering creating read only subforums for the sections we have which would house the archives from their parent category - meaning, if I want to see the Politics archived threads, I would look in the Politics subforum rather than having to dig through the Catacombs. I haven't fully committed yet as it will require some work and I'm going back to the paying job tomorrow. Still, I have to clear out some of these forums and move threads anyway. Just as easy to move it one place as it is another. I would have liked to have set things up this way in the first place, but the old forum software didn't allow it without some serious (over my head) hacking and modifying.

I've updated the forum scripts. Let me know if anything is wonky.

[SeaMyst]

The site will be up and down over the next couple of weeks while I'm doing some work on it. I'd like to be more specific, but ... There really shouldn't be much down time to the forum as I'll be working on other areas of the site. Still, there may be times when you pop in and it will be offline. If this happens to you, don't panic! Just check back later.

I'm going to be doing some work on the site this weekend. Expect some ups and downs as I'll be taking the forum offline here and there.

[ChainLightning]

Uhoh.

[SeaMyst]

Well, I give up. Some things may have changed. If you find any bugs, let me know. There were a few other changes I wanted to make, but I'm tired of beating my head against the wall.

[ChainLightning]

Oh dear! Anything I can help with? Or just gonna skip it, altogether?

[SeaMyst]

Thanks, but I think I'm just going to skip it. Some days, I really feel like an idiot.

Had to do an update. Seems we've lost half the smilies list (when you hit view more smilies). If you know the code, you can still use them. I just have to find where it's hiding them. <sigh> Won't be fixed tonight. Will have to wait until I have a bit of time to devote to the hunt.

[ChainLightning]

Oooh, lovely. The smilies went on hiatus. Without us.

[SeaMyst]

Yayayyaya! The smilies are back from vacation!

[caitlin]

And look how happy and well rested they look! *grin*

We've had an update to the member's gallery which includes a bridge to the forum. What that means, is that once you've logged in at the forum, you *do not* need to log in at the gallery. The link to the gallery has been updated to take you directly to the gallery home page, bypassing the log in. At some point, I'll add a direct link to the top of the page.

I'm still working on the forum/site. I've been working on adding a CMS (content management system) to the front end of the site (the part you see if you come through http://www.thricetaboo.com instead of direct to the forum), but it is slow going as I don't have a lot of time to devote to it. Eventually, though, we'll have a brand spanking new site to play with.

<edit> Just fixed it so that it doesn't bring up the page in German. Hopefully.
