THE FORUM IS DIFFERENT

[adarqui]

What's going on here, everything is starting to turn white, the forum is breaking into pieces to show that we are in reality in a matrix  .
lol.

huh?!?! lol

clear history/cache.. it should look different, but it shouldnt be broken..

i did some quick mods to the layout.

pC!@$

lol

I didn't mean it was breaking, i mean it looks like as everything is colour white, the light blue colour is very light and looks white it looks all the colour is gone, and we are left with what ever is text or icons or buttons all colors look gone, but i can see some very light blue.

especially the banner, its all white

ya the top banner/header is white.. the body should have lots of light colors though? for the board index/footer etc?

im looking at it on two computers, i see lots of light shades.

anyway this is still temporary.. i want a light/clean layout obviously but, i just had to make some quick temporary modifications because the default theme was driving me insane.


edit: my lcd laptop screen is trash, but i can still see the shades.. although they are much fainter than my work computer which is non-lcd.. on the non-lcd work computer, it's definitely not a problem seeing the shades.. will have to play with it later.

i'm thinking of putting a fixed touch scroller to the left of the forum.... for this reason: insanely fast navigation of the forum:

instead of having to scroll up/down the actual page, we could use the left touch scroller.. it would contain:
- subforums when on the main board index
- a list of threads when in any of the subforum board indexes
- a list of threads when in any thread

so say you are inside someone's journal.. well instead of clicking back, or a link in the link tree, you could literally just click the other journal you're interested in reading in the left touch scroller...... they would all be in there.. so you could say, navigate 10 journals with only 10 clicks, as opposed to our current system which navigates 10 journals with at minimum 20 clicks..

here's an example touch scroll demo:

so picture that real thin on the left,with threads in it,and each one is clickable.. scrolling up/down a threadwouldnt effect it.

FU*K MY SPACEBAR KEY.

also, i can have a setting in each user's profile to disable it/enable it etc.

trying to think up ways to make the way we use this forum, insanely fast/efficient/fun.

i can see the different shades of blue, there isn't anything wrong with it, just giving first impression of site without its makeup  plain and clean
Nice, liking the idea of the scroll for the journals

ya man im not very into lots of colors on a site, or women (not colors of skin, but colors of makeup lmao).. i dont like too many harsh colors, i want a more 'bright/vibrant/natural' looking experience.

the way the default template looked to me was like, some white chick with really harsh purple makeup on.. eek

:F

cool! ya i think it will be absolutely perfect once it's setup... by improving the way we are able to navigate this site, it'll improve the learning/teaching/analysis experience, plus improve time efficiency.

eventually i'm going to program some journal template popup thing, which will allow everyone to log their journals into the popup, which will embed into the journal post, which also means it will save data for that date, so we can generate graphs/see progress history etc..

that'll be some bigtime cool sh*t.

I actually prefer the borders to having it full screen, but what can you do

A journal template, with a pop up which you just fill in the required fields is an even awesome idea and then generate a graph to show progress as well 
that is the real sh*t right there i was hoping for

not sure how people are going to take to the left sidebar.... im on the fence about it.. one part of me loves it, the other part of me is against such a 'radical addition/change'.. so im not sure.. so far im only putting boards in it.. not sure if im going to put recent posts etc........ maybe i can have some buttons at the top or something to customize it..

i do like how when ur nav'n the forum, if anyone posts something, it will show up 'green' at the top..

i've been navigating alot quicker with it.. and the recent posts in subforum feature of it is pretty good..

dno..

btw it's a "click and drag" scroll thing.. ie 'touch scroll'.. the left most icon is the button which takes you to the destination.. the middle is just text etc.. if the middle was clickable we wouldnt be able to click and drag.



anyway.. im also thinking about putting 'recent posts' and 'active users' on the top of the forum.. id rather it be at the top than the bottom.. makes more sense too.

i need to develop new banners.. they arent going to go with the site once i actually get it looking the way i want.. this time i'll overlay text on the banners instead of hard-edit it into the image.. that way i'll have more flexibility with how the fonts/etc look/transition etc.

bbl, color school.

bear with me.

One thing I'd do is when you press "mark read" on a subforum to be returned to that subforum instead of the main forum. Right now it returns you to the main forum. I usually press "mark read" and then search for my log in the logs subforum but now it just pushes me back to the main forum.

anyone having problems on ipad?

;/

flander says the left scrollbar/nav thing is wrecked on ipad.

[adarqui]

flander, i modded the code to remove the side scrollbar if someone is viewing from a mobile device..... it should work properly now.

please tell me if it is/isn't!@#!@

this is a temporary modification until i figure it out.. im simulating user-agent's with chrome to test if the scrollbar appears or not in 'mini/mobile browsers', it's disappearing for those browsers so, seems to be working.

thanks alot man.. pc
