Sidebar, menu...
Finally took care of some shit that's been bugging me for months:and for Opera, Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape users:Those motherfuckers still using IE ( Wink) might notice that the status-bars are shifted slightly right by about 2-4px; that'll have to wait for a general overhaul, I believe.

Anything else funny?

Very nice job Thumbs UpSmile. The font on the sidebars could be one tick smaller to match IE but it is fine as is.

About the sidebars; you think maybe we could take the 'rank' field out to allow for the names to fit better? Eh, just a preference WinkFrownPuppy. Oh oh oh! And Ventrilo status in the sidebar Wink. That could prove helpful. But these aren't problems, just suggestions... we ask too much Wink.

Otherwise, there's nothing wrong with anything except the membership section. Whatcha plan on doing about that, maybe moving to PayPal?

And and and... are you here for a while or just stopping by again? Just curious Puppy.

The header font (with red background), or all fonts?

That's an idea; when we finally get the RAK Team the rank might be more relevant; now it's just taking up space.

We could get rid of the ID field, since no one seems to use web kick, and whisper isn't out yet.
“And _Ventrilo status in the sidebar
Good idea.
“Whatcha plan on doing about that, maybe moving to PayPal?
Yeah, nothing else really makes sense; we got caught up in a mess with web audits and lost a lot of money.  PayPal seems more liberal in that respect.
“And and and... are you here for a while or just stopping by again?”
As long as the thesis gives me leisure; our semester here goes until about mid-July, which is when you guys start up.

Some things I'd like to get accomplished this time 'round:Speaking of which: what's the status on your Skockey map, Mid?

Hmm, all fonts in the sidebar. In Opera, when I zoom to 90%, the sidebar looks just as it should, but the forum looks as it should at 100%. Maybe its just the fonts I chose, but sure... if you see the same thing in Firebird or whichever W3C-Compliant you use, then feel free to fix it up Smile.

Sure sure, the rank is a wee bit useless right now in the sidebar; maybe forever. The ID Field doesn't take up much, maybe we can keep that in. In the past week someone did use webkick, so we can keep it Wink.

Thar be GIF images I created I believe. They are a pic I took of the site in IE and then just ripped to shit on photoshop and given the old image map coding.

Skockey.... Oh yes LOL!!! ya there is an arena though I am trying to block some things off so the ice floors aren't throughout the whole map. Also, a need for glass in the ends and a couple Goalie nets are needed for creation. Not to mention an editted Skolf club or an actual hockey stick. I also found a glitch in the slippery floors. Anywho talk to you in vent soon.

Well this is odd.... the forum, at least at my resolution (1920x1440), is stretched to the point where I have to scroll. This is a pain in the ass, to be honest... it only happened after the new sidebars were put in place. It is like the sidebars carry their own part of the page, and a 1440px [or more] width-wise forum section is to the right of it. That blows; anyone else have this problem? I hope so, would hate to be the only one with this problem as I'd be stuck with it forever Razz. ME NO LIKE SCROLLING ALL T3H TIME Frown!

Elaborate a little: you're using opera; and the run-off on the side is approximately the size of the bar on the left (~=192px)?

Actually, I view this page in IExplore because of my "lcc" run shortcut... I'll take a screenshot then...

...this is how the forum is for me no matter where I am... the forum stretches itself in excess Frown. You don't have this problem? AHH!!

By the way: This screenshot is in fullscreen as you can tell... I don't see why the hell it is doing that.

Ah, ok; dude.  I've been testing in Penguin mode, and didn't work extensively with Gates' browser.

I'll see what I can do.

Lol, thanks; I'm actually looking at the page in Opera and it looks a ton better and I don't have the streching problem. In the Reply section in Opera it adds a scrollbar to the right... weird, not a problem, just some IE-Optimized bullshit.

If you can't fix that problem, that's fine as I probably won't use IExplore for anything anymore (LCC was the last page it was used for Big Grin). The only thing that looks off in Opera is the sidebars still have oversized font (you know, one tick lower Wink) but otherwise its perfect; nice job Smile.

I also just noticed you added a Wiki! And you fixed the Sidebar Server Titles! WEEE.

.... Oh, and tell Tux t3h Penguin I said "Hi" and that I'm sorry I haven't touched him in months... then tell him it's all his fault because he doesn't support most of my hardware. That bitch®.

Oh x2... looks like mostly everyone lost their avatar, hehe SmileGift.

Dudes; basically I had to resort to an egregious hack to get the forum to stop scrolling in IE.

This may result in expected behaviour; do me a favour: post a screenie of how it shows up in high resolution.

Sure thing, buddy. Looks good here, however a lot smaller. It has more of a gap around the forum body. I like it like this, 'tis fine. If you insist on keeping it in its original form then you might need to edit a little. But to save you some time and effort: "it looks good, dude."

That's to be expected; short of a major overhaul, it keeps the site functional while looking “normal” on a 1024x768.

Basically, dude; I refuse to bow to form over function for the sake of that shitty piece of work.
