Forum UPDATE!

Post by ClaytonSpeed » Wed May 23, 2012 8:06 am

Hello!

Welcome back to the Forum.

You will notice some differences to the site, and I hope you enjoy them. I still have some work to do with the graphics but I thought it best to give you your forum back sooner than later!

I have spent several hours testing bits and pieces but PLEASE let me know here if you find something strange or missing.

The Garage is... broken. I am afraid this is my fault since I didn't update it. Fear not! I have written a new one that I will implement fairly soon, but for now I must rest!

Nice work Ben.
You can sure kiss goodbye to a few hours though.. :(

I find the layout nice and clean, and the contrast works well.
My only issue would be - at my res. of 1680 x 1050, the header image is pretty big.

Liking the recent activity feature too.
Cheers.

For some reason my images (from Photobucket) don't appear to be loading correctly, half of each picture appears to be missing.

I guess it is because the forum itself is cropped inside all the border stuff?

Do I need to resize all my images in future, and if so, what size should they be to display correctly?

I clear my cookies everytime I shut my browser down so it can't be that.

Maybe it's just not loading properly for me? All these new features seem to be taking their toll on my very poor internet connection :frown:
