THE FORUM IS DIFFERENT

[adarqui]

lavender >>>>>>>> blue on the screen. if you're on the fence about changing it...don't. the place looks much, much classier in general. nice nice nice.

cool thanks for the feedback.

ya i see everyone loves this default theme.. well, im def going to tweak the colors a bit and make it look even cleaner.. the old site was from 4 years ago or so when i didn't have webdev skills, so i should be able to make this thing look even classier/cleaner.. i can't settle for a default theme tho that'd be whack..

im not going to deviate too far from this though, everyone will be happy.

also, it's "bear" with me, not "bare" with me, unless you mean you want us all to get naked together.

i actually typo'd on purpose, kind of like when i say 'lets meat up'.

good catch

This GUI is much more 'smooth' and 'pretty' as expected because it is a default scheme.
I like the previous one more though: Because it was customized , it was a hardcoded adarq.org theme. Seeing that scheme got my mind into training, it was like entering a different dimension opening adarq.org. Now coming in here feels like joining any other forum. Eventualy i will get used to this new GUI that looks better anyway, but i would prefer the old one synchronised/retouched.

Just mho.

right for sure.. i will be customizing.. this is just a major upgrade from SMF 1.x to 2.x.. it was much needed.. once i solve this pretty-urls issue i'll go back to turning it into adarq.org style but with a much cleaner template to begin with.. so ya, totally agree.

the pretty urls issue is #1 problem right now though.. kind of urgent that i get that working again, can't mess with it for another 6 hours or so though.. ;/

peace man

^ Yup, i saw that this is an indermediate state , just wanted to post how i see it.
Oh and i agree with your tactic , much better to go back to a clean state and build it from the beginning with a better architecture than trying to patch the old code. It would be full of bugs and unable to be updated next time needed. So im sure you have it in mind already but take your time and build it wise , always have future updates/plugins in mind. Might take a little longer to 'air' the 1st version but it's allways worth the wait. And after a long time when a major update will be implemented easily because of the work you've done you will feel god , been there! Nerd programers rant off, pc

yup.. i was sitting there saying to myself: "im modding smf 1.x heavily, when 2.x is much more recent/modern/stable", so I finally just said f**k it and decided to do the upgrade. I had been planning the upgrade for a long time but I knew it was going to be a bich.. I can re-implement the calculators/fun stuff real fast so that's no problem.. this code base is much cleaner, faster, and simple, so it is definitely worth it.. plus it'll probably be easier to migrate from 2.x to 3.x than it was from 1.x to 2.x... that's a forethought.

tonight I will battle the pretty-urls.. I had it working last night to ~80%.. viewing threads with pretty urls works, it's just posting that seems to be the issue.. when you post, it goes through, but then it somehow gets stuck in an endless loop of translating the origina urls -> pretty urls -> repeat.

hope to get that working tonight so i don't have to worry about it any more.

peace man

Mess around with the layout of the forum all you want Adarq, what I meant by how much I liked this (and I'm assuming other people too) is that it's just a much cleaner format than the old version.  No offense, but the old version of the site was "ugly" in my opinion hahha (still the best forum on the internet).  But yeah with a nice clean format and different matching colors and etc.. I'm sure the forum can look MUCH better than this, since this is only a default layout.

for sure man i'm excited about how this will turn out.

WTF?

F**K YOU BRO.
















jk.

ya, it was "ok", nothing beautiful.. I want to perfect the site layout, every aspect of it, eventually... I have alot of work to do but I'd love for it to just look like a masterpiece maybe 6 months from now.

yup!@







I think i fixed pretty urls.

@$(@)!$(!@$!(@

if anyone finds any errors, please tell me.. the pretty urls thing has been brutal to say the least..

posting new threads seems to trigger the new pretty urls too.. so everything seems to be working.

hope so.

lmao.

ya i'm definitely going to bring that back. that is actually more source modifications than pretty-urls, but it should be pretty straight forward to implement.
