Post by: Styan on October 05, 2005, 06:37:11 pm: Maybe im going crazy... but wasn't there something that split posts up on the old version? Any chance we can edit the template to include that? I guess i just get used to one thing, and then a change (if it did at all) upsets my entire lifestyle :p

And I realize I can't draw for shit... I'm no graphics artist alright. ;)

Post by: Lithium on October 05, 2005, 10:56:55 pm: yeah the design is all messed up and the new post tags worked like once again and then broke.

Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Styan on October 07, 2005, 01:32:02 pm: Its very tabley...but better like this than without the seperator ...Would much prefer it like this rather than without it. :)
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Lithium on October 07, 2005, 01:33:46 pm: sitto styan fixed the horizontal divider problem but made everything like a table.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: likwidtek on October 07, 2005, 03:32:57 pm: yeah this is prolly as good as it'll get.

bleh.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Anonymous on October 07, 2005, 05:58:33 pm: Better than it was. Although i liked that every other box was grey.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: likwidtek on October 07, 2005, 06:46:21 pm: is that how it was? If so I can do that... but then some of the white icons and sigs will look silly on a gray background.

Anyone like this better than the old way?

Post by: Lithium on October 07, 2005, 07:23:18 pm: WTF, I am getting the error again. Makes no sense. I will screen shot it all later tonight when some more new posts are posted.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Eroz on October 07, 2005, 08:17:42 pm: I would be willing to bet you need a new  tag in the master and home html files.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Lithium on October 08, 2005, 12:03:54 am: Ok, I think I have located the problem. I don't think there is any fix as it related to cookies. I have had problem wit hcookies on many other internet software projects. It seems when you access the site through http://followtheangel.org and http://www.followtheangel.org the cookies get all fucked up. When I went to www. it asked me to login. I loged in now all the new post tags work fine when I use www. or when I don't.

Anyway it is cookie issues and nothing can really be done but at least I figure out where the problem was coming from.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Lithium on October 08, 2005, 09:52:03 am: hmmm, ok I was wrong. Guess it isn't cookies. I'll have to photoshop what is happening. Just doesn't make any sense why it works once and then not the next time.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Kosila on October 08, 2005, 10:45:27 am: No you're right Lithium. One problem is cookies. If not cookies, then at least sessions or whatever PN uses.

The cookie (or session) only allows access to the domain name you sign in to (either www.followtheangel.org or followtheangel.org, not both). I mentioned this before on the forums but no one did anything about it lol.

I always login using http://followtheangel.org ... However, when I click on a http://www.followtheangel.org link on the forums (like a www link to the Furious Angels Gallery), it asks me for my username and password again. It's not a HUGE deal, but it's such an easy fix.

Example: Sign out. Sign in at http://followtheangel.org/. Visit http://www.followtheangel.org and you will see it asks for your username and password again.

I don't have access to the followtheangle.org server so I can't do anything about it.

Post by: Eroz on October 08, 2005, 09:57:42 pm: After 7 hours today (on and off work), I figured out how to do it.

File "modules/PNphpBB2/templates/[whateverthehellyouareusing]/viewtopic_body.tpl"

Change

Code: [Select]
<td colspan="2" height="1"><img src="templates/{T_THEME_NAME}/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" border="0"/></td>

to

Code: [Select]
<td colspan="2" height="3" bgcolor=#000000></td>

Also I know how to get the quote/edit buttons back on top too. (Hint: Its in the same file.)
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Eroz on October 09, 2005, 05:39:59 pm: woot, I've learned alot about PNphpbb2 this weekend. Im checking right now (I have to get to a computer with dreamweaver.) to see if I can get that code even shorter. But I can almost completely built a new template for the site now.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Lithium on October 13, 2005, 06:05:23 pm: OK... for the last 2 days the forum tags worked fine for me... all of a sudden today they stop working.... WTF. This is getting SO ANNOYING.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Eroz on October 13, 2005, 06:32:08 pm: I'm noting the same thing for once. I also have the bug that Lithium has now.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Styan on October 13, 2005, 06:35:18 pm: yeah its happening to me again too.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Avzeke (Khr0n1k) on October 13, 2005, 07:34:19 pm: yeap tags are f'in up now for me too.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Anonymous on October 13, 2005, 07:56:42 pm: Meh, I dunno if its just me, but the table's aren't looking so hot if you ask me. Makes it feel lees smoothe and more......blocky.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Styan on October 13, 2005, 10:05:27 pm: yeah part of that was in the upgrade, we lost the sperator between posts...
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Avzeke (Khr0n1k) on October 13, 2005, 11:27:20 pm: I have already gotten used to(I think that may be a southern term) the new look so its alright now.
Title: Re: forum maint
Post by: Eroz on October 14, 2005, 12:32:17 am: I told likwidtek how to fit it.
