New Site Details

quick! use your admin powers to hide your shame!

^Funny

Anyway here you go Raf

RevO, TB, and rabid:
To upload and use them:
1. Download and rename the 3x37 image to: content_middle_right_left.png and rename the 6x37 image to: content_middle_right_bg.png.
2. Open your FTP client and go to: /forums/styles/WRtL/theme/images/.
3. Add a 2 or anything really after the names of the original images. i.e. content_middle_right_bg2.png.
4. Upload the new images to the same directory.
5. Check the home page. If it still looks the same try purging the cache or Refreshing the template.

and

I know how to upload images.

Meh just mainly telling you where to upload and to backup the originals.

I know how to do that as well since I was the original person to upload most of the images that eib used.

ok ok but take a look at this: "RevO, TB, and rabid:"
Maybe they didn't know. I just needed someone else to upload it cuz your server hates me. Didn't point that directly at anyone.

Should we also have the start page? I already have most of it coded. I just need to link it to the forum.

Quick question,


I may be acquiring a xenForo license (www.xenforo.com), if I do would we rather use that over phpBB?

Just to let you know the two led developers that worked on vBulletin own and created xenForo and well it is a better system over all. Probably wouldn't take to long to remake the skin over there on xenForo platform as it is the same as vBulletin and way easier to skin then phpBB and they have way better mods/hacks/etc then phpBB.

Sounds like a good idea but we're so close to finishing. I wouldn't mind skinning xenforo and I dont have any issues with it but why let all our work go to waste?

Well basically, it would be easier on the moderation team etc and installing mods would be way easier to teach rabid how to do.

Well I'm fine with either. I guess we'll just wait for rabies decision.

I looked at their community and I agree it looks nicer, but it looks way different that the old site or this sit and I'd be surprised if they have the hax we want... Plus I already know phpBB's ACP pretty well, and we all know phpBB's layout pretty well, AND I worked darn hard at configuring everything just how I wanted it (probably a couple dozen hours in total)

I don't any really good reasons to switch. It would certainly delay moving in by at least a couple months.

Well they actually have a conversion script that can move everything on the current phpBB site over to xenForo except for the skin. Also most if not all mods from vBulletin are on xenForo as most of the people jumped ship after vBulletin 4 came out and moved to xenForo.

How about this? We finish what little we have of the phpBB one and then let everyone on it and then if you get the xenForo lisence we could go and skin that. Then we could compare the two sites, see which is better or have a poll for the members, and we'll either stay or move again.

^ Yes! I want to see it

Why thank you good sir :3

It sounds like this new site is going to be similar to this site but more different in style, color and chating, i can't wait.

There's a built in page editor right? Since your server hates me ur gonna need to upload all the stuff that I edit outside of the editor.

What now? What about a built in page editor?

Like phpBB has that editor in the Admin CP.
