I still like the Fusion. I looked at the Beta one, but damnit, this is a Tavern! I'm used to the site being darker

Get over the old musky look of a Tavern.

And embrace the Grand Opening. There will be more parties. More females. More clowns if you know what I mean.

I have noticed that the "Who's Online" page defaults to sorting alphabetically by username. I can't remember, but I believe vB allows you to designate which criteria to set as the default for sorting.

Most forums go by "Last Activity" since that gives you a quick picture on who is really actively browsing (since the list is keeping track of people that might not have actually clicked anything in 15 to 20 minutes). It can make it a little hard to gauge who is actually, truly on at the moment.

I usually just click "Last Activity" to sort it anyway. Is there a use that someone else has for the alphabetical method that I just don't think of?

I'll fix those things today.

I messed with the colors some and came up with this. I think it would adapt well to green and red variants.

If you like the idea, I can work on matching reply / quote / new posts etc., etc. buttons that match the style.

Used the following colors:

4b73aa - Subheading Light Blue
Nevermind the gray; it looks bland when I made another mock-up
bbbbbb -Welcome/PMs box darker gray
f1f1f1 - post background color (quick-reply, standard reply background)

edit - added quick reply box background color since it doesn't match the theme at all as of now. Actually, same with the standard post reply background. Its an odd off-blue color.

Nothing will ever be better than this.

Jeepnut, that is fucking amazing

flamb · 05-29-2008, 06:15 PM

HOLY SHIT JIM

Renwood · 05-29-2008, 06:46 PM

I can't go somewhere that doesn't exist.

Bond · 05-29-2008, 07:20 PM

What is LL?

P.S. I may have to save working on this for tomorrow.

Renwood · 05-29-2008, 07:59 PM

It doesn't exist. Don't worry about it.

Made some graphics. Bored.

designed to match

and

as well as any color schemes.

edit: they're PNGs, and probably need to be converted to gifs. I will do that later.

edit 2:

first new and

last post

for sort ascending,

for sort descending

Aladuf · 05-29-2008, 08:00 PM

Yes! use those, they are great.

Typhoid · 05-29-2008, 08:01 PM

Can I just say, please for the love of god don't make it light blue, dark blue, and a combination of gray - they look too standard and too "Hey, we haven't put any time in to changing our forum colour scheme around, so we just stuck with this original one."

Renwood · 05-29-2008, 08:05 PM

ExtremePixels wasn't winning any favors. I never like green on websites. I think some off-reds or brownish-red could look nice.

I agree, but the Fusion style is going to remain the default one. This new style(s) is just for people who detest the current style.

Actually so far the best one was the Green and white IMO.
