New Site

[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?

Except our forms arnt all that high contrast.

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.

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.

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.

Forums updated to latest version to patch bugs and prevent an exploit that allows for SQL injection.

Please report any problems you have after this update.

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.

Patched some bugs in the php configuration. Should make the site a lot faster.

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.

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!
