Hello all! As you can all see, we have re-designed the message board. We thought this place was well over due for a re-vamp and needed to have a similar design to the main site (www.ozphoria.com). So we hope you like it. Any issues, please let any of us Admins know. Cheers, Sunky!

be better if it expanded across my whole screen width: 100% done. i wanted it to re-size to fit the header image, but yeah as Trev mentioned it was taking a while to load. Proboards sucks with its time rendering javascript. So i've removed that for now and its the same as it used to be in width. Hopefully that cuts down the loading time a little bit.

Looks very nice! Did it take long to change? about 12hrs of creating the images and applying the colours, soooooo many icons/buttons to create, if anybody has skinned a forum before you'll know how time consuming it is. I was working on it last night after most people left the board because some settings were going to screw up how the other design looked and I didn't want to put the board into 'maintenance' mode, especially when there is so much Pumpkiny goodness to talk about now. glad everybody likes it! we are super happy with it

well I was up till 1am and there were still a few east coast kids lurking around. Oh and also we've started paying so that the board is ad-free. If you wanna help out, click the "Click Here to Make this Board Ad-Free" ...

looks great!
and with the payment, if someone has already paid for the month what happens? I will be more than happy to kick in a little to keep it ad-free, i nearly did in the past but read something about the monthly cycle (not THAT kind) and if there was only a few days left the money only lasts for those few days....i dont remember exactly.
and again with the "IT LOOKS AMAZING!"

yeah we paid for the rest of May, i guess its just when June roles around we can buy credits again. Im not to sure how it works, since this is the first time we've done it since we started the board. For $7 ( $8.20 Australian) we get 50,000 previews ad free.
Im really glad we've gotten rid of those adverts, nothing worse than forums full of them.

you should notice that the your browser should start caching everything and the loading time shouldn't be as bad after a while.

Im really glad we've gotten rid of those adverts, nothing worse than forums full of them. What, like Adphoria?
|
|

Post by sunky on May 21, 2007 19:55:12 GMT 7
well that is one thing that does annoy me about netphoria, especially when im at work and that friggin cookie advert pops up. But also a bunch of other forums/sites I frequent that have google ads everywhere, like we were pretty lucky to only have the one advert banner, some you find have them under each post. Lot of gaming sites are really bad also with adverts throughout a forum or even loads of pop-ups.

Post by brendo on May 21, 2007 20:16:54 GMT 7
Netphoria does full page popovers, ads under each post, popups, amazon and netphora ads at the top of the page, and hyperlinks peppered throughout... so basically every one you mentioned... i barely notice beause i have most of that blocked anyway...
Anyway, the vibe over here seems pretty cool, I think I may stick around.

i spent time cleaning up some of the javascript code and optimised some of the images also ... so this is pretty much as fast as it will get.
