Web Based Mail through Supporter Account with vB style Interface

:eek

If you can wrangle a spam filter in that, you know how hot that could be?????

[TheHolo.Net]

Spam assassin is already built into the server here, marking most spam quite blatantly.

:D

My dollars are pledged for certain

[TheHolo.Net]

Haven't you been using your @sw-fans.net email? If so, then I suppose you just haven't received anything spam assassin marked as spam, because you would know if you had. It makes the original email an attached file and tags something like "****SPAM - This message might be SPAM" all over the subject. :)

[Marcus Telcontar]

I use that email as my primary business contact. No, never got a message like that. Guess I'm lucky it hasnt been found by spammers yet.

[Silus Xilarian]

when do we sign up ^_^;

[TheHolo.Net]

I'm still working on some issues in regard to server side text/html compression for PhotoPost pages. When I can get that working proplerly the preview period will be ending and the Supporter process can start.

[Morgan Evanar]

(already hacked into vB, we just need some new styles)

I'll get around to another soon. :p

[Dasquian Belargic]

I think I'll have a go at making one. Not sure if it'll be up to standard, but heck why not :D

[Pierce Tondry]

I'm interested in trying my hand at this; didn't you say you had a forum template I could get my hands on awhile back, Ogre?

I think you may have misunderstood me. Working with vB templates is not really that simple a process for someone new to vBulletin. There are over 300 of them. Your best off doing something like LD does. Make a mock page (or several for the different types of views - namely Portal, Forum Home Index, Thread List, and Show Thread) all in a picture and let me see if its possible to reproduce from there.

I just converted one of LDs mock forum images into the new CIZ style today. :)

[Pierce Tondry]

I don't think it was a vBulletin template, I think it was an image file, or set of image files. Or something. I don't know, I could be wrong.

If I am, I'll just go with the mock page deal.

[TheHolo.Net]

Yeah, I can make a zip of the standard image set, but there are quite a few in it that we don't use or you wouldn't recognize because I have changed so many.

Okay, here's what to do, I will attach a zip set of the default image files and you can compare them in the standard vB style we have here and then try to discern then from what we have in our other styles.

Zip coming in next post.

[TheHolo.Net]

Attached is the image set.

*Watches his connection SLURP up the file.*

Thank you, Ogre. :)

I have text/html compression at least partially working, so I think we are about ready to start this program up. I'll let preview access go another 24 hours expire it and post a few FAQ and informational topics in here.

Thanks for all the help gang!!

These topics will not be delted, just left here for future refrence and/or ridicule. :)

EDIT: P.S. Those with preview access for the next 18 hours or so, can sign up for a Supporter Account early by following this link if they so wish. The year long subscription and special "Supporter CTs" in all forums, will not begin until the official announcement is made.

[Marcus Telcontar]

Well I'll be damned. Paypal allows EFT for USA and Aust. Horray, no need for credit card!

(But take 3-4 days to set up. Bummer)

[TheHolo.Net]

Ahh, I was just going to say that I got your order, but not Paypal confirmation yet. Once I get Paypal confirmation I'll set up your CT. :)

Did the Purchase Form process on this end go smoothly and make sense?

[Marcus Telcontar]

Yes, it did. I had to reactive Paypal account so I hope things work okay. Let me know if they dont please.

Still, that's really good Paypal allows EFT, since that's what i mainly deal with, that should be pointed out somewhere if it isnt already

[TheHolo.Net]

Paypal recipt verified.

[Master Yoghurt]

Payment sent, partner! :D

[Pierce Tondry]

D'oh. Still waiting on my funds. -_-

[ReaperFett]

You will get my money, but wont be just yet, as I have to execute a cunning plan :)

[Dasquian Belargic]

We've heard that before ... Baldric! :D :lol

[TheHolo.Net]

Here is another image set, all zipped and ready. This one is an actual in production set because it is the basis for one of our current styles, though it doesn't include all of the extra elements for the table structure and background, which is okay because that makes it less confusing as a reference.
