So hey! Thanks for getting this place up and running

One question: I have avatars and info-boxes on the left, when I'd rather have them at the top. Is this something that can be changed by user preference?

shiney · 04-17-2010, 02:23 PM

I don't believe so. Meister is giving this a test run to see how it works out. If it sucks we'll shitcan it but it streamlines things a little bit more.

That said -- I am outta here for now. If anything horrifying goes on or explodes Brian knows how to get ahold of me. Catch you all on the flip side.

Meister · 04-17-2010, 02:23 PM

Actually I think I've read of a way to do it! Give us a bit of time to get the basic stuff sorted out and we'll look into it.

I'd been meaning to save all the atom symbols before the wipe, but I never got around to doing so. If you need buttons or other graphics made, I can handle it if you like, provided a bit of free time.

Edit: I DO have the old 8-Bit logo in both original and improved (transparent BG) forms if you want them, but I think this might actually be a good time to think up something new.

You're gonna want to update the links in your sig, bluesy. We'll worry about the images ourselves for just now but there might be a competition in the future to make a new imageset for icons and whatnot as NPF is more related to all Brian's works now, rather than 8bit exclusively.

On that note, when you GIS nuklear power, it comes up with Robo as the first two returns. I think that speaks volumes for B-Clev!

It's worth mentioning: The "Forgot your password" thing doesn't work. It directs you over to the "HEY WE CAN'T DO ANYTHING HERE" forum page.

I -can- get all the icons by the way, with a bit of time. Here's one for now.

Fixed the password thing.

Here's an aesthetic issue: users with long names expand the DIV. Squeeb is the first example of this I noticed, but I know there are others with long handles like Bard who are going to really make the lines irregular.

Hrm. The wayback machine is being weird today, just incredibly laggy, but I can grab the rest soon as it gets back into gear.

Almost found all the image addresses, through some cache-searching.
