Quite a few things seem off, I'll send you the css stylesheet in a minute, and maybe try putting it in manually through the "colors" menu in the forummotion admin panel. But first right under the option of inserting a stylesheet there should be a option to turn off basic css, turn it off, that might be it too.

That bbtheme option they have really sucks lol. Oh about the header/banner, you just need to take away the "PSO Palace" in your forum title in the options to fix it.

I should find somebody to host a real phpBB forum... grrr. Maybe Crono will give me a secondary forum installation on his host since my main site is already hosted there. xD

Check your PM box on Schtserv, I would've sent you it here but bad habit lol. Also, if you want to center your tagline below the banner, just replace it with this :

Code:: <align="center"><b>A haven for the Hunters of Phantasy Star Online Versions 1 and 2.</b></align>

Well with the basic CSS disabled I ended up with no background image. I turned it back on and now the BG is back... does everything look correct? >_>

Haha, that's odd. It does the opposite for me, I run into problems with basic CSS on with the Test forum. Aw well, if it works. Razz

Yeah, It Looks like it's finally moved over right. However, I just noticed that I never made sure the code tag displayed right. I'll send you another css stylesheet that should fix it. I'll browse some other threads on the forum to make sure everything else is okay before sending you another one as well. And I'll PM you it, here lol.

Oh and, almost forgot.... About the member rank stars, I can probably make you one that will better fit this forum but you'll end up having to insert one each manually in the admin panel. If you don't mind, I'll conjur some images up. I'm just fresh out of ideas, pso rings came to mind however I'm already using them for the new post/old post category images.

So, if anyone has any ideas please let me know and I'll try it out. Or there's even the stars shown for the items in PSO's UI as an idea lol.

Did you change the icons for topics in the forums? They seem to be phpBB defaults right now lol.

TBH, no I didn't. pale

That's one thing I completely forgot to tell you when I originally sent the forum. I don't mind making some, I just was fresh out of ideas for it.

If anyone has any ideas I'll be more than happy to make them. I just didn't want to rehash the same images as the category images.

Aleron Ives Fri Jun 20, 2008 7:46 pm

The new CSS is in place, it seems to work. Very Happy

As for icons... I'm not sure what to use. We could be uncreative and use the item boxes lol.

The new skin is awesome.

I believe it's the transparency of your avatar. Use one without transparency and then the white won't go away. Razz

Ugh... well I found a problem. Because this skin uses fixed width, it messes up the screenshots topic. It will cut off the edge of any picture posted. Can it be converted to be stretched width to the size of the screen easily?

Siku Sun Jun 22, 2008 11:38 am

Thanks for the good feedback guys, Sorry it tooks months in the making and I wish I could've done more with the skin but you gotta love forummotion lol. I'm more of a HTML person and I'm still a n00b in CSS, all of the editing for the skin (minus the images ofcourse) is done in CSS with forummotion. Crying or Very sad

I quickly threw this together, I don't take credit for the actual images just the transparency and glow lol :

Possibly, I'd have to tinker around with the CSS to figure out how to take off fixed width or at least make the fixed width larger. Apparently that fixed width comes with the default theme I started off from since I personally didn't add it. The only problem I really see is the header and banner since I made a background image with corners similar to some of the UI. The image might loop itself and it'll be off from the rest of the forum. I'll try messing around with it later and If I figure it out I'll send you a new stylesheet as soon as possible.

No Problem. I'm glad you like it. Very Happy

Ives, If you haven't already, check your PM. I sent you a new stylesheet and an updated banner for it.

Aleron Ives Mon Jun 23, 2008 5:00 pm

Definitely better now, though is it impossible to remove fixed width altogether and just make the skin stretch to your browser's width?

Is this the missing banner at the top of this Way-back-machine capture?
