Ian Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Hi guys, We've been busy bees over the past day or so updating our forums. We've merged numerous forums, archived older ones, reorganized a few things, and updated our forums to the latest version of IP.Board! Thanks for your patience with us during this maintenance. Here is a rundown of some new things: New shoutbox (slightly different than the old one) A totally new look (if you're seeing the default invision blue, select "TDN Forums Pro" as your style) Re-written rules (they are a bit easier to understand - PLEASE READ) A new reports/warning system has been put in place We've rearranged a lot of the forums - including merging a few together COMING SOON: *New* arcade, store, and cool skins Post any bugs or messed up things in the Site Feedback & Bugs forum! Thanks! TDN Management Quote
Xepha Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 It does look *SHINY* indeed ^_^ Okay... off to explore it a little bit ;D Quote
Willow Tree Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Wow I like the black! All your hard work was really worth it. :) Quote
Guest Levy Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 Store? Does that mean the forums are going to have a currency? This would be great for graphics stands and contests. Quote
Anime Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I belive Sam said it would be based on how many posts you had. Quote
Guest Levy Posted August 19, 2007 Posted August 19, 2007 I know, I have been on forums with a currency system before. Your initial amount would be based on post count, then after that its still goes up with each post but they are transferable between members. A graphics stand could charge a member, say 20 credits, for a sig and the member would give the amount for the sig. Its a fun idea. I think Dillon's IPBFree board has a Currency system installed if you want to see what its like, though every modification is different and might not be what Ian will install. Quote
Ian Posted August 19, 2007 Author Posted August 19, 2007 I haven't had time to investigate the different store mods, but I will be installing something like that soon, unless there isn't one available. :) Quote
Guest Levy Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Well I can't wait for the mod, odds are there will be too many to choose from. XD Quote
Dillon Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Alot of forums are upgrading to IPB 2.3.1. I was hoping TDN wouldnt. Oh well. Im able to see my warning level now. Cool! Quote
Guest Levy Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 What's wrong with 2.3.1? So far the only thing I don't like is the skin, and that's changeable. I love classic blue. X3 Quote
Ellie_Penguin Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Well, I love how it's all organized. Good job TDN! Quote
.Dan. Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 A store system wouldn't be too bad, cos there is a fair bit of trade-based activity on here. Quote
Zac Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I love the new forums! The store sounds great, what kind of things will you be able to buy there? The only thats bothering me is the shoutbox.........I guess I liked the old one better :P Quote
Stephi Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 I agree, I liked the old Shoutbox. I'm sure I'll get used to everything else. I'm not one for change, it makes me all confuzzled. Quote
Zac Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Is there any way that you can make the shoutbox only appear on the frontpage? It gets kind of annoying o_O Quote
Superfly Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Is there any way that you can make the shoutbox only appear on the frontpage? It gets kind of annoying o_O Hmm, an interesting request. :P I didn't like it at first, but I really do now, it helps me stay more involved in the SB. Anyway, maybe an option in your control panel that will allow you to set it to frontpage only or something, I dunno, Ian will have to reply to this one. ;) Quote
Ian Posted August 20, 2007 Author Posted August 20, 2007 Is there any way that you can make the shoutbox only appear on the frontpage? It gets kind of annoying o_O Yes there is a way to make it only appear on certain pages, but that's a master setting and cannot be determined by the users. So, for everybody's sake I'll keep it on every page, so people can see what's going on with the shoutbox. That way, people can stay more connected. :) Quote
Dillon Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 I like it on every page it keeps me informed. Quote
Sponge Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 love the dark "pro theme" *gives thumbs up* Quote
Mini-Chan Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 Wow! This new layout is so cool! Yay for updates! ^.^ Quote
Lutarist Jake Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 This new forums are great! Pity about the Hissi. Quote
Ian Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 Yeah, Hissi asploded. :) There was a massive fight between Jerry and the Hissi. Jerry won... don't ask how either. Quote
Dillon Posted August 21, 2007 Posted August 21, 2007 RIP Hissi! Jerry go to time out tis not nice to hurt Issih, XD Jerry must be big to beat a snake. Since snakes eat birds. Quote
Ian Posted August 21, 2007 Author Posted August 21, 2007 I know. The food chain reversed itself. Weird, isn't it? :P Quote
