Re: Status

We now have a "quick reply" box. The idea behind this is to load a very basic reply box w/ the thread so that if you want to reply (but don't want to load the full reply page), you can do so. To do this, you need to pick a specific post and reply to it by click on the
quickreply.gif
button. This is done for a reason.

To reply normally, just hit the "quote" button or the, currently, orange "post reply" button.

I was just hinking of what colour would stand out without going christmasy (red) or jokery (purple). I was thinking a white-ish silver with strong shadowing.

I like the Quick reply box!

The stars in your postbit for trading feedback are back. If you have no feedback, nothing will appear. If you have a negative feedback number, red stars will be shown. If you have positive feedback, green stars will be show - on this scale:
  • 1 star = At least 1 good trade
  • 2 stars = At least 5 good trades
  • 3 stars = At least 10 good trades
  • 4 stars = At least 15 good trades
  • 5 stars = 20 or more good trades
Also, if you let your mouse hover over the stars, the exact number of positive trades will be displayed.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The vertical postbit is basically how it will look. I have a few more very minor tweaks that I'll get to later. I will explain the horizonal postbit later.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The tradelist/AllTroops mods are next.

Alltroops Tradelist mod is back in action. I'll probably make a new graphic for the button later, but it's working...

Hey, I like the quick-reply. While it is a little blinding--it kinda stands out like a big white box in a gray and green themed forum---it is extremely convenient ;)

Not that it's a big deal, but could the background of the box be toned down from snowblind white to say, a light gray like the border? Just thought i'd ask on behalf of those who wear contacts and like to sit in front of their computer in the dark. :p

Whee, look at me. I have way to much time on my hands <grin>
Reminds me of when I installed Asteroids on BeJedi.com.
But I had to drop that project do to traffic reasons...
Glad it's here now, love the chopper game <twisted>

I like the improvements. A lot of hard work has been put into this by Borsk, and he deserves the praise he gets.

Can we get the 'View Today's Active Threads' link back?

I replaced "view new posts" in the navigation bar with "today's post". This is what you want.

"View new posts" is still accessible in the quick links.

It's been a long time since I've actively posted here, but the site as always looks great .... I love all the new changes, esp. the arcade section! Keep up the good work!

Thanks Borsk. Looks much better. Would have said so sooner, but I've been out almost a couple days. (Had to recover my snowblinded vision) :p



Ooh....you grouped the smilies. Nice. :worship:

I liked View New Posts personally. as I often miss a couple days if I do double-shifts at work. But, I don't burn that many brain cells going through Quick Links. :D


Now, to check out this so-called ARCADE I keep hearing about :)
