New Site

[ZERO]

So it has finally happened, we have launched our new website!

There is still a lot of work to be done but this is the start of some major changes we will be able to bring to everyone. Please note that nothing is final and I will be working with you all to ensure that the new site and forums are the best they can be :wtg:

If you run into any problems please let me know. This week will be focused primarily on getting any kinks worked out.

[mcilwain]

It looks ok so far but the skin is kinda a bit messy heh, but good job!

[BladeTwinSwords]

Pretty good.

[maynard]

cool:wtg:

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

Great, THE BIRD!!!!! i lold so hard when i saw that like 4 hours ago.

i have ibisgaming/forums as my defualt home page. haha

[Hitman]

This looks awesome and much better from the old one. Basically the same layout.

[ZERO]

Yea I am going to be cleaning it up and making an alternative style for the home page.

You may want to make ibisgaming.com your home page b/c now it is actually going to be used in the future. As you can see this is a total site make over.

are you accepting critisisim? <---auto spell check plox. <3 Very nice so far though. Thank you.

[StarsMine]

love the banner, but not quite fond of the skin

[acolyte_to_jippity]

ummm, what happened to the full editor for posts?

all i can do is quick-reply.

new site is seriously ugly. SOOO much useless stuff on frontpage, and lots of wasted space on the forums (bars at sides)

also the icons for new posts/no new posts look too similar...

yeah. no good changes i can see

[ZERO]

Just hit the big reply button at the bottom

[acolyte_to_jippity]

Just hit the big reply button at the bottom

uh-huh. which is a quick-reply. now you need to hit "go advanced" to bring up the real editor.

[Hitman]

Why use the reply button though? The quick reply works a lot better....

[acolyte_to_jippity]

Why use the reply button though? The quick reply works a lot better....

because i like the full editor. puts more tools and tags at your disposal. although the only good thing that i can see is that quick-reply is alot more intuitive.

[Rezel]

Looks good sofar!!!

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

learn html.....

[ZERO]

Oh yea I see that, I will try to fix that issue. I was not getting the quick replay for a bit for some reason but I am now so I will try to fix that.

[Steamer]

Can we get the quick image re-size back?

[B1ackOut]

its pretty sweet

[ZERO]

Can we get the quick image re-size back?

Can you post an example for me to work with then I can get a mod in for it and I have a post to reference when I make the changes.

[Steamer]

Something like Lightbox. I can't recall the technical terms.

Example: http://www.magictoolbox.com/magicthumb/examples/

[ZERO]

We have resizing now!

[Steamer]

Nice nice...

I like the single click lazy route... Right clicking to view image is just so much work... lol

[Xerenix]

The Site works great, just needs a better skin.

[Curdy]

very nice so far!

[XX0wnsXY]

looks ok. It's new so it will take some getting used to, but no complaints from me!

[Rob]

I love how it looks, looks whole lot better, but, some things are still a little messy, i get a little disorientated. so you might wanna look at that aswell.

[Tickle Me Emo]

I love how it looks, looks whole lot better, but, some things are still a little messy, i get a little disorientated. so you might wanna look at that aswell.

This is how I feel, it's very difficult to quickly scan for threads with new posts; it feels too busy. Other than that, I like it.

[CYBER]

at first i hesitated.
but after some tweeking in the settings page, (such as allowing 40+ posts to show up same page instead of having to follow threads slowly, page by page) etc... u'll like it
its a new thing , so it needs accustoming.
new skin would be a great surplus. whether the old skin or smthn on the lines of black and gold contours (like the warning/danger sign) for new stuff? also the home page is a bit confusing... maybe if we had a way to collapse unwanted menus? ilve seen that feature. and even if ppl request it do NOT add the lightbox for pictures! its the most retarded thing ever! slow and laggy, and u cant save files easily from it. (they even fucked facebook with that...)

nways... i just wish the buttons where a bit larger, and is there a chance you can have it highlight in the thread titles in green/red or smthn to show which ones have been updated and which ones have already been read?...
do u have access to the CSS code? or are u just using templates provided by the content management system?
gd job tho.
now i cant wait for the new admin system u mentionned that would accompany this update:D senior admin ftw:D

[Steamer]

Lightbox was just an example to re-sizing options. It's fast for me and not laggy at all, then again some people do have gimped PC's. The forums have pretty much the same navigation feel as before and load a bit quicker imo. Only downside I am seeing is the size or "largness" of some of the seperation components and buttons. Could be just me as I tend to favor the small streamlined stylesheets.

[mag36]

Definately looks nice, but like everyone said it takes some getting used to. :wtg:

My biggest thing i see that i have a problem with is i like to see our blue color bar back istead of black where the number (exampe: #31)
To me it just helps seperate each persons thread easier.

Yea be sure to let me know about changes like this guys so that I can reprogram the style accordingly. It takes some time to learn the new style system but I want to get everything really nice like it was before so that it is easy to use. :wtg:

[wack0]

looks great! clean layout

[mag36]

Im just pointing out eye candy stuff, but another think I notice is our avatar sizes can seem to be to large or small. Maybe set a max size allowed or auto adjust to it......

just seems that theres a whole bunch of space for our avatar, names and ranks and wins ..... so either Upsize the text a bit and make it bold on that stuff or set a max size limit on the avatar pics

Im going to make my avatar a bit smaller...
Some peoples look fine wlile others seem quite large

Yea I think that the players name should be twice the size it is.

[Christmas]

The layout is hard to read from thread to thread.

The background needs to be changed. You cannot read the bottom text.

I like the new color but it needs to be tweaked a lot. Good change, at least.

[mag36]

also im pointing out to change this in the picture it will make a big diffence if you slightly change teh color

and by the way you attactment page is totally diffent color scheme

ps im comparing to this site since it had simular colors http://www.gamesforum.com/show-tell/17220-finks-texture-pack-2-a.html

and this attachement color got to go!
maybe our ibis blue also.

[ZERO]

I have changed the size of the user names so I hope that helps along with the color at the top of the posts.

As for that boarder I think it will end up looking strange once you understand what that section really is (from a programing perspective)

Christmas was referring to the thing with the holes preventing people from being able to read the bottom section correctly:

Now there are a few ways I could fix that:
First I can change that background to ANYTHING WE WANT, color pic ect.
Second I could just simply change the colors of the test.


Now onto the attachments I will get that fixed too :wtg:
Oh, I see the interface is totally different than before. I will half to come back to that later in the week. For now I will try to fix the way they show up in the threads to make it cleaner.

your the boss but i do think if you drop the color scale a tad there in will make the treads pop out more but if it doesnt look right for other pages then mehhh whatever
hue: 160 red:23
sat: 0 blue: 23
lum: 22 gren: 23
was the color scale of what i did in paint

and far as the checkerd backgrond i like that i would just mess with the text instead


if possible i would go with a liittle darker blue tint or somethign with the threads being read and not read
They are grey if all the post been looked at and slight blue if they havent but its really hard to tell between the two colors so if you could darken that blue a bit too
http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/images/styles/blackstealth/statusicon/thread_new-30.pnghttp://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/images/styles/blackstealth/statusicon/thread_dot-30-right.png

Well they do have diffent images now that i think about it but looking at the site on my smart phone with a small screen the color being a little darker would help.....

lol ok im done nit picking now i think that covers everything for me for now

[maynard]

after you get things with the forums looking how you want, we should think about doing something with the main page. it's got nothing but old useless info on it and hasn't been updated in like 2 years. makes us look inactive even though we're not.

the old main page was fine. we just needed some updates for it. the new one is ugly and cluttered.

[mag36]

lol i can tell zero is having trouble with my suggestion on having the post slighty diffent color then the solid background if tis to much trouble, i wouldnt worry about it zero

:w00t: he got it!!

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

on individual profiles maybe alphabetize all the options on the left hand side??

[ZERO]

Ok got the background done. Yea the new main page is going to change a lot. In fact I am not even going to be using this theme for the main pages. It will be similar but with inverted colors. The layout is temporary until I am done with working on the forums, besides I can not have it that cluttered and then still try to fit ads in. :smirk:

As for the icons they need major work, it is way to hard to tell the difference. These changes are not easy to make so it will take some time and there are a lot of these icons. I planned on replacing them from the second I saw them. :wtg:

[mag36]

alright zero. Im just throwing out ideas on the overall site. I know how make changes can be difficult with a new program

But im really starting to dig the posts and threads overall look now
So much more eye pleasing

[maynard]

the old main page was fine. we just needed some updates for it. the new one is ugly and cluttered.

what you talking about the new main page is the same as the old. it just looks diff. the old main page was filled with the same useless old outdated info as this 1 is now. I don't care how it looks, I'm saying we should do something more productive with the main page... either start updating it with info on a regular basis or find something diff 2 do on it.

[ZERO]

Yea like I said it is going to take a few weeks to get everything changed how we want but hey that is the great thing. We are getting a fresh start with a larger community so we can get more input on how you all want the site to look!

Also what do you guys think about this to replace the current background texture:
http://forum-skins.com/forum/images/pixelpremium/background.jpg

[mag36]

hmm maybe hard to picture it all on top of it..... maybe i can make it up in gimp or something. I assume its replacing the grey checkered part?

also the profile page can used a bit of an overhual....
the friends tab with all your friends listed if you could make that into a grid of there avatars maybe??? cause it so much waisted space in a listed line

Yea to replace the grey checkered partas for little things like nicer grids for the friends list lets leave stuff like that for later. I want to focus on getting the big things done so that I can start work on the main page and then on races for the wcs server followed by the new admin system.

For example I want to make it so that the documents section on the main site will contain all of the information any user would want from the TOS to rules to any other base document. We are going to have a real website this year not just forums. I am planning on having a few people dedicated to writing various articles on the main site and I will also be creating a system for users to get the ability to publish articles on there as well. This will include profit sharing from the ads and I hope that though this we can really grow the community a lot more.

[CYBER]

hey, if u need my help on an article, i'd love to help.
(and yes, contrary to popular belief, my writing skills in english are awesome, which compensate my fucking accent which i have recently developped out of the blue -.- .

i agree with mag btw on the colored icons "read/unread" there should be more contrast. heck even better, the whole row that is unread should have a different color highlight or smthn to make it easier to check for updates.
but i gotta hand it to u , great job man, i know how much CMS programs can be a bitch at finding exactly what u want lol

[ZERO]

Oops, I just really fucked up.

I just marked all my forums as read... if you had an important thread about ANYTHING bump it so that I get a chance to read it...

This especially includes anything posted in the server sections like maps ect or abuse bans ect.

Yea I will look into changes in the row highlighting as well. As for the cms it is actually FULLY integrated with the forums. I can even promote threads directly to articles. In addition users are able to leave comments on articles ect if they have an account (if that is not working right now it will be enabled in the future)

On another note my admin system back end appears fully functional for all users that do not have non English characters in their name. If anyone knows how to fix this let me know b/c htmlspecialcharacters() does not. However this is not a huge problem as the effected users could just make a new account and then I just merge it with their old one. Hopefully the new admin system can be done in a month or so for full release.

[ZERO]

Also this new version is so much faster than the old one. The server load is down 80% from the previous version.

can you please look into adding the "upload file" button to the quick reply section? for quick uploads and replies.(or am i missing it?)
i like the background u suggested btw, i will try to find smthn else as well. has the "ibis motto" always been "remain calm"?

I removed the upload from the quick replay option b.c I do not think it is used often enough and makes it cluttered. Without it at my resolution I am able to see all the options and the post button without needing to scroll down which I would need to do if I enabled the attachment option while in quick reply.

As long as it loads properly on at least 1920x1080 without the ugly low res img repeat. I'm talking about where the background and the repeat background image meet. I've seen this background used on other sites well including some task app I had but it doesn't mesh or blend well at the border when it repeats.

Probably best to just make it stretch although I could modify it to make it so it repeats better.

Also I just realized that if you middle click it will open up replay to topic in a new tab but in the full version. This can get you there fast for users that care.

At the bottom as well so that it is easier to navigate the forums.

As for the mod one, it does not send it to the moderators but the person who owns the thread or post. For example if a mod closed your thread you would get a pm telling you. Likewise if they deleted your post you would get a message telling you.

[CYBER]

he could remove the bottom dark shadin and blurr the bottom and top to have it repeat.
or simply add a similar shaddow to the top .
better yet is to edit the image himself , and add at the top some patterns that would connect to the bottom batters as if the image was connected as a cylinder. but that would need some artistic touch.

[CYBER]

most likely double posting unless someone posts first,
but zero? is there a way you can have it that the mod thing keeps a copy of deleted posts ? i.e it tells u what post has been deleted or closed and shows u the content of that post?
this would be great considering that many mods erase a lot of posts...specially some that think smthn is irrelevant when it isnt. plus it keeps track of the community better.

[ZERO]

It always has done and does do that. When I and other mods view the forums we can see where stuff was deleted and view the original content.

It is the background option in the css. The style for the site is literally handled by houndreads of files so editing is done from a very different perspective as traditional web design.

[ZERO]

Ok so I was working on finding some possible status icons and here are the options. Note that the version given is for a thread with no new posts. For ones with new posts I will be making either the black or white section a different color that stands out.

So what ones do you guys like?

[acolyte_to_jippity]

i like the last one (the one at the bottom)

[CYBER]

i like the one aco pointed and the one JUST above it , provided that the last one's BLACK section would be different for new and old msgs

so here is another question (sorry if am being a bother but am just suggesting in case)
is there a chance that we can have "user groups" on the forums?
i.e you (zero) have ur own color for ur name, clans/mods have a specific color as well, and admins their own color, leaving regs with the default color.
this way we can quickly see if an admin or moderator posted (specially for people who have no idea who the admins are around here.)
this would be great with the seniority thing, a rank on forums.
ex (made quickly in paint...) :
3575

hitman = clan
mikey and bears = admin
brett = player.

I am working on changing the max size for attached images that display like that so they will line up correctly. Also I love that you can mass upload now!

That is actually an awesome idea and it would help people figure out whos who. Zero hop to it! LOL

Here is an example of the thread icons I am looking to use, they still need to have a second version of each that indicates a user has a post in the given thread:

OK new icons are now activated! I hope you guys like them, I think they fit with the theme pretty well.

yessir
i'll send u a reminder at the beginning of summer.

this would actually help u in another way as well.
i've seen people use it to monitor who is paying for admin.
i.e you paid admin this month => triggers and makes u admin here (green).
and so if they didnt pay, it will automatically remove their admin status on forums and make it obvious for many ppl that they are no longer admin, and therefore remind u to remove their in game admin (or remove it automatically if u add the right code).

and glad to help. :)

[ZERO]

Well I may or may not add colors for admins but there will be ones for moderators to make things easier.

The new admin system will automatically add and remove admins based on if they payed or not. :wtg:

[Hitman]

Some more tweaks here and there and it will be perfect. woot Woot!!

[acolyte_to_jippity]

OK new icons are now activated! I hope you guys like them, I think they fit with the theme pretty well.

no they're not.

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

i like your new background and the icons. +11111

one thing though is, when ever some one would upload a demo before the forum updates the demo icon when posted would be boxed in showing you how big the file was and how many views it had.

now it is just normal text with now brackets to indicate that is clickable and DL able and it dosnt say the file size or how many times it has been viewed.
i.e. my most recent post with a demo on a ZM map here -------> http://www.ibisgaming.com/forums/showthread.php/5978-REMOVE-ZM_Urban_downtown_v2?p=102410#post102410


Then again i MAY have done it wrong considering the attachment window is REALLY confusing even after reading the "how to's"

Yea it was simply that you did it wrong. I edited your post to fix it. You see there is now an insert inline option that can be useful for some things. However if you do this it will not also display normal. The advice I can give for the new upload program is to just click as few things as possible until you learn it. There are many advanced features that you will not need until you learn how to use it first.

I can actually put the old one back however the ability to upload multiple attachments at once is too important and that is why we are going to tough it out with this version. If it is too complicated I can write my own guide that is easier and update it on the forums if that is what you guys want.

Basically all you need to do is press add files then upload them and then done.

The folders and other options let you manage files you have already uploaded. This helps you find files you have uploaded in the past and post them again or remove them to clear space if you ran out.

[ZERO]

no, he said it was already done and i'm letting him know that the reply button is still quick-replying. hush

goddamnit. i had to completely exit out of chrome and wipe its cache. before, they were still the same as before

Sounds like a chrome failure as every other browser accepts f5 as a forced no cache refresh of a page.

I will try to see if I can get the button at the top and bottom to default to full mode. Note that in the mean time you can center click and it will open in a new tab but in advanced mode.

[ZERO]

Updated so that /forums actually goes to the forums and not the cms page.

I have not found a way to make the top and bottom buttons default to advanced. This may require a special mod to change.

[ZERO]

I am reposing this so that I can add some more to the list and to ensure that I actually add all of these.

Interesting....

[ZERO]

I got the quick stats mouse over to work again!

[ZERO]

Oh yea, after a year of being away steam integration is back! I may need to make a new theme for the popup box but it is back to stay this time around.

Now it has been programed with some basic caching so that it greatly reduced the performance impact. In the past it was removed due to its effect on load times. Now java and ajax are used to ensure that regardless of its load time it will not effect the actual page load time!

As before just click on the future mouse over functions may be added similar to the stats but I do not know what sort of data you would want to see. :smirk:

Also currently this only shows up in posts, are there other locations you would want to see this?

The data is linked on your stats page already so it is not making anything available that is not already.

new background looks fine i think it works better then the last one

[ZERO]

Well basally anything was better than the stock one...

I have reprogrammed the pm section so that it is easier to read :wtg:

[ZERO]

I have now made the default highlight color the #417394 blue that is our secondary high contrast color. On Wednesday I am going to try to define a basic color system for what we will use in the forums from now on and then I can easily modify sections as needed to conform to those colors. B/c right now I am literally just making them look the same independent of actual values.

[ZERO]

I have now added the steam and stats integration to the profile section.

I have also reprogrammed the stats image programs. Now they generate a transparent image so that it can be used against any background without issues. :wtg:

[DJ_MikeyRevile]

background is great. No objections so far.

[SCRIBBLE]

:wtg: on the background and new icons.

Ok so is there any other major things that need changing?

only thing i may point out where you have tne page numbers on the bottom and the first and last one are blue its kinda hard to see them in that color , But its not really a big deal (example
Page 11 of 11 << 4... 9 10 11)

[ZERO]

That is actually a triangle for go back 1 page...

Although I think the real issue is that the background color for those is used only in that one place and is thus inconsistent.

lol, i was distracted by my porn -.-
am not sure if quality or quantity is better porn :P

btw zero, i worked with CMS before, if u dnt feel like programming, u could just install modules that have pre-made custom settings and worry about the tiny details later. this would allow the site to update itself without u having to change everything urself+ more compatibility with other modules. then again researching for the right thing instead of doing it urself is time-fucking-consuming :P :P so gd luck with that lol...

Added the following:
Separate Sticky and Normal Threads
Lower Breadcrumbs
Doublepost Prevention
WoG - Quick Selective Quoting
MEGAUPLOAD Uploader

So as you can see these changes are now in effect. As for the megaupload support I think this will really help when people are trying to post massive files :wtg:

To use it you need to select what you want to upload and then give it a name. After you press the S you will save and then you will get a link. Just post that link in your post like this: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=METXDZKI

Also note that you can just post links in your post and they will automatically be click-able, you no longer need to use the url button if you do not want to.

---------- Post added at 05:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Also I should note that I can make the megaupload box thing bigger if you guys want, there are a few different sized to select from.

Lastly if you guys really use it a lot and decide that we want better support then I can upgrade to premium which would remove a lot of caps.

[Rage]

Jeeze your working way to hard Zero. You should relax and enjoy yourself. You know what you should do, you should come to maine for the weekend of april 30th and chill at the avalanche tour avec moi and my chums. Got 1 spare ticket and ordered my VIP pass :wtg:

I think next week is finals. I am actually making a lot of little back end edits that I am not even posting about b/c the avg user does not really notice but it is needed for better output and seo.

I have made it so that youtube videos now use the new style from the current version of the youtube site.

Note that you should NOT use the OLD way of importing youtube videos instead use the NEW insert video button that lets you enter the COMPLETE URL. It also supports mutiple websites!

No b/c the banner of any site should always go to the home page. Having it go to the forums does not make any sense. Now I do understand that you may be saying well there is not anything useful on the home page so it does not matter.

OK so the first round of edits are now finished. Please post your thoughts and what you think needs to be changed for the home page style.

[Steamer]

Too much white.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

why not leave the way it was as a selectable skin? because it looked absolutely fine as it was

[ZERO]

When actual content starts to be added it will be easier to read against white.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

that's not an answer, only a justification for ugly

[ZERO]

Also I am not saying I am going to be using those colors exactly, only lighter colors. That is why I asked for comments so you guys could suggest off white or different color options that you think may work better. Although making it like this to start shows the direction better.

[acolyte_to_jippity]

the problem is that the rest of the site is dark. hell, alot of the front page is dark too. not only is the lighter color not neccessary, but leaving random areas dark makes it look even worse. all the frames for the different panels staying dark clashes horribly.

[StarsMine]

The white truly does clash with the rest of the website, even on the home page

[Steamer]

Matching forum tones would look pretty good IMO.

[ZERO]

Here is the deal with the lighter colors. I feel that forum content is generally shorter and more broken up and thus can be read easily with high contrasting themes. Long multi page articles are best read against light backgrounds where blocks of text are easier to read. Therefore it would be ideal to have the main site be in light colors so that the articles and ads ect will work together better and also not come off so cluttered. However on the forums we have a dark theme and so my goal is to create in a way to opposed themes dark and light that work well together and that instead of clashing actually blend together creating an even better site.

Now making such a thing is not easy. There are going to be times in development that it looks like crap; however, I think that in the end we can get something that is very unique and will really help show that there really is no other place on the internet like IBIS!

So come on guys, lets just mess around with it for a bit and see what we can all come up with. I am sure that there is a way for us to make this work. Worst case we just go back to the old theme. So why not have some fun and see if we can make something incredible?

[StarsMine]

Except our forms arnt all that high contrast.

We have a darkish grey background and a light gray text

i'm all for trying to make something 'incredible' but at the same time saw absolutely nothing wrong with the main site. it no longer looks like the main site and the forums are run by the same people. hell, i thouhgt i had typed something wrong the first time i went to the new main site, and saw the white. the forums look awesome. the main site looked awesome. and it was all definatively IBIS. now, the forums still look awesome, but it looks like we're praying nobody ever sees the main site.

[Steamer]

I'm having an issue where as the background flashes (Alternating texture or scrolling... flashes to fast to completely tell.) crazy during an advanced reply and is unresponsive to type until the flashing is over. This has been happening since the background has changed. It just hasn't annoyed me enough until now.

[ZERO]

Strange b/c I changed everything back an hour or so ago...

What browser is this and is this error only in particular parts of the forums?

[Steamer]

It happens on large threads on forums. I figured it out. It's because I have post's per page at maximum and its expanding the background down. Shame I can't set post min/max per reply view. There isn't much of a delay on viewing as there is replying.

Also automated database backups have been improved to occur once every 3 days and to include all databases. This helps protect us against database corruption or other strange errors. The new method not only is run more often but uses less system resources during the backup.

Main code work on the home page is finally done. The place holder articles will be removed and you will start to see REAL content by this time next week. :wtg:

This was one of the main reasons that I upgraded the website. I have waited years to be able to have this CMS system fully integrated. I am sure there will be some bumps as always when we go live but after a few weeks everything will be pressed out. Finally IBIS Gaming is going to have an active website with rich content and not just forums!
