Title: Welcome to a Brand New Board
Post by: Turbo-Tuna on March 17, 2011, 06:25:45 PM
Thanks for fixing it invisible person. I'll give Charlie a harsh talking too, which he will promptly ignore. Where are my admin buds to make sections for pointless threads lke this.

Welcome to our new test board kids. Have fun, and please don't break it, again.

I love the new digs guys. The layout is great and I could never get used to the yellow new message things over at STGT. With this post I now have as many posts as UCan, that should last as long as I'm typing this. HaHaHa.

What?!  You want me to break this fuck ing thing again?!   LOL

Seriously, what do y'all want it to LOOK LIKE...  This is the default theme.  You can check the others that are loaded by going to your profile and picking one that works for you...  I created a clone of DEFAULT to allow me to play around the the various style elements...   There are other too...  (But loading them the last time was how I fuck ed the place up)

The default looks great. I was just curious what all we have as options.

Specifically colors of the boards not the functionality or layout.

Well....I guess "plain Vanilla just doesn't work as well as this does, eh?  when do we get to test out the back rooms?  I wanna Play poker and not have to worry about the kids and Grandma pestering me.

Ya.....Perhaps one theme with a Dark Gray background and white text that's easier on the "older eyes"
You know, like the old Pro*cough*boards look. :o   I already like the way we can bring pics and sigs in!  ;D  Looks nice!    
When does the Bored get to vote on this one?
I think this would be easier than the other site.

Thanks,

Welcome, reddrum and everyone.

If you take a look at your preferences there is a way to change your personal skin to the forum. I am currently using BlackBox. Makes an easy transition from Vanilla. There are others to choose. No need to stay with the default option, but it is our intent to set the default to whatever becomes the most popular choice. (You can always choose something else that suits you better.)

Go to your Profile, select "Look and Preferences", see Current Theme at the top and select "change". Various options will appear and you can preview them before choosing one.

Vanilla was like the apartment we rented until our home was ready to move in because this place already feels homey

What an apt way to describe the situation. This is exactly what's been going on the for the past two weeks.

I want to send many, many, many thank you's to everyone who is working so hard at getting the site up and running.  I cannot express how grateful I am. 

I'm gonna unpack now.  I call the bedroom with the stripper pole and the shag carpet lined walls and ceiling. Anyone got one of those carpets rakes?

Just a quickie here... off to work in a couple.

Really like the look Charlie... the darker colors look great.  Excellent job. :)

So far this one gets my vote...

See you all in the morning, unless I pass out from exhaustion.

Well guys...

I personally think this place is EVEN BETTER than STVM --  because it's OURS!!!

And it looks so good because, like a well-oiled machine, we Tunas (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NCfVFxRsKQc) pull together as a single unit when trouble arises...  (I watched in on "Planet Earth", it relates to why we swim the way we do... Protection from predators.)  It gives us a synergy!

Anyway, it was each of you saying things like "I like this", "I like that", "Can we do this?", and "Can we do that?".  (And I do so love pronouns, always have...  :rofl3)  Your feedback was :fuck ing invaluable in letting me know what to do to make the place "home"...

I will start in next week on UBBC for YouTube... After that I want to explore the limits of what we got here, for example, see if we can have "banners" inside forums,  can we dress the place up with ICONs, header/footer HTML, etc...   We can add other bells and whistles as the needs arise.

Never done much php and CSS so I am very excited. 
:excited

If you've read any old posts of mine, you know how important learning new things are to me.  I try very hard to learn at least ONE new thing each day.  I love disproving myths.  Who the :fuck was the :ahole who said "You can't teach an old dawg new trix?".  Mother :fuck er sure hadn't met this old dawg...

I won't claim to be the originater of the saying, but I often repeat 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks', even though I know it to be wrong. I often say it just to take a shot at old dogs ;D

I'm very impressed that you found some way to liken us to a well oiled machine. Well done Charlie.

I had wondered what the little XHTML and CSS links at the bottom of every page were about so I finally clicked on them. Don't do that. Not unless you got a roll of duck tape in your other hand.
