Layout Part Deux

[Taylor Millard]

Okay, so I vote we go for the EZBoard TBH new look that Morg did.



WHO'S WITH ME??

[Morgan Evanar]

Uhmn, me? I'll add buttons and whatnot, just so you can see what they look like.

Okay. :) BTW, Morg, are you still joining under that other character? Were you and Sorsha ever going to finish that thread in Storytelling?

Oh wait, Hob and Jeseth were in that one. N/m. :(

[Morgan Evanar]

Yeah, I think I might end up joining... but it seems her (the characters) fate is to get kinda bogged down by other RPers. Its frustrating.

[Morgan Evanar]

Hrm, maybe its possible to keep both?

[Lilaena De'Ville]

keep both what? Styles?

[Taylor Millard]

no have his character join and still have that RP with Jes and Hob...I think...

[Morgan Evanar]

Nope, I meant both style sets. I've been talking to Chris about it, its might be possible.

[TheHolo.Net]

No he meant have both styles, and we may have figured out a way....maybe. It'll be tricky and take some time, but we shall see.

[Arya Ravenwing]

oooh awesomeness! *huggles the Forum..and Chris and Chris...* :p

[Quellin Vos]

I vote for both if at all possible.

[Kar'h'tzen Shaed]

Yes.

[Taylor Millard]

Cool, whatever works for me :)

[Quellin Vos]

I was messing around today and came up with this:

Nothing final or anything. Just me messing around with Photoshop and textures. I need to work on the typo and maybe replace the "scary face" with the hand. So, what do you guys think?

[Morgan Evanar]

I jus don't like orange =p

[Quellin Vos]

Oh well, just some eye candy do brainstorm on for future styles (that's if it is possible to have multiple ones).

[TheHolo.Net]

I'm going to see what I can do to create the second style for TBH and try to figure out how to implement the ability to change it some time today.

One drawback that I do forsee is that if a user doesn't select a style to view TBH with (most likely from links in the description), they will see the TBH layout the same as whatever style they are using across the rest of the main SWFans forums.

[Morgan Evanar]

Couldn't we have the primary link default to one or the other?

[TheHolo.Net]

The URL that leads a user into the forum is created through a PHP array. I cannot modify that URL without messing with all the URLs for forums on the main forum index.

[Morgan Evanar]

! point.

[TheHolo.Net]

Yep, so my drawback stands. :\

[Morgan Evanar]

I dunno, thats still not the end of the world.

buddumndumn dumn...

Nice :)

[Morgan Evanar]

And this is why my art folder is 600 megs... I'm a .psd packrat.

For the time being, I have scrapped the idea of two selectable styles for TBH, due to complications that will require hacking that I am unsure how to do at the moment. It may be possible for me to do sometime in the future, but for now, only one style is available for the TBH forums.

I have however, created a separate style, which you see in use here now, which can still be switched back to the orange style if it is wished, since I left it intact in the Admin CP. =)

[TheHolo.Net]

The new style is now complete with a rearranged header section and nice dismal dark black & red buttons.

[Morgan Evanar]

Huzzah!

[Lilaena De'Ville]

I love it! :):)
