The long awaited release of SMf 2.0 gold edition has finally been released. over the next few weeks, we will be coding the forum to work with it, and testing functionality. this will bring new features and life to our great community.

there will be a absence of admin on the current forum during this time, I need all globals to keep a lookout on the forum for anything out of the ordinary and contact myself if there is a problem. As most of my time will be dedicated to the new site design. you can view progress at www.aciddev.com/forum3

while I am a good code writer, I am not an artist, I need someone with photoshop to edit images for me please let me know who will be willing to help.

please use this thread to list any items that may not be needed in the new site, and maybe a wish list of things you would like to see in the new site.

thanks to all the members and staff who make this site the great community it is. you guys are what its all about.

A++ on the idea of Ultimate Profile!

1TONpete · « **Reply #6 on:** July 10, 2011, 09:52:59 AM »

are they the same file just one was #'d? So is this all you needed?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #7 on:** July 10, 2011, 10:27:21 AM »

@whitetop, the corners need to be rounded
@denali, the blue is not dark enough, and the corners are slightly off. check the bars on the test site, those are yours

1TONpete · « **Reply #8 on:** July 10, 2011, 10:30:40 AM »

I was looking it over just a minute ago and compared my blue to the one on am and I noticed my fade was to light. I will fix and upload again.
The corners were rounded, idk what happened.
edit: checked my corners are good, it something the site is doing i think.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #9 on:** July 10, 2011, 10:31:55 AM »

sorry the corners are good, the code is giving a shadow I am working on it. just adjust the color, everything else is good

1TONpete · « **Reply #10 on:** July 10, 2011, 10:40:22 AM »

fixed.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2011, 05:33:20 PM »

can a few people look at the new site and point out anything that needs to be changed? It helps to have fresh eyes

hyper999 · « **Reply #17 on:** July 12, 2011, 01:51:18 AM »

- Shoutbox is short
- Bars look sweet
- "New" graphic next to topics needs changing
- The minimise column button's graphic needs changing

Thats all I noticed

toadzilla · « **Reply #18 on:** July 12, 2011, 02:26:53 AM »

shoutbox is default, it changes in settings not code, Im not setting it up that far, it will just have to be redone
cool
yea, I need to change all the small images, I think the new sticky and lock symbols should stay so i have to go one by one
same as above

dam it would look pretty sick with it

1TONpete · « **Reply #21 on:** July 12, 2011, 03:55:14 PM »

The top bars are repeats of a smaller image. Won't work.

1TONpete · « **Reply #22 on:** July 12, 2011, 05:46:27 PM »

I'm confused Matt, what do you need? Do you want just a solid color to replace the shaded buttons or a color fade? , or am I on a different idea entirely.
Can I make a theme?

I dont like the shading on the buttons, I would like you to give me one without any shading, and maybe a few other options, like reduced shading, different color shades, etc.

"can i make a theme"...not sure what you are asking. the picture pack is posted above to make any color theme you want and I will insert it as an optional theme, the site needs to stay in the acidmods formatted theme, or it wouldnt be acidmods. We may be open to other ideas, but robin would have the last say.

@ robin no problem. I hope your enjoying yourself. I cant wait for you to come to orlando!!!

1TONpete · « **Reply #25 on:** July 13, 2011, 07:49:36 PM »

Ok Matt. I will have some stuff for you in the morning.
By make my own... I meant can I submit my own versions of your images posted. Color changes , highlights etc. I would love to do a red version exactly like the current blue version. Maybe a lime green version too.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #27 on:** July 14, 2011, 08:11:00 AM »

yes, these are perfect, I will upload and test them tonight. do you have the color code for the colors you used? I need it for all the boarders and lines all over the forum, also, look in the zip folder I provided and make the orbs match your colors also.

what os do you have, windows should be able to open the zip file no problem, download the file, right click and open with windows explorer. if you have problems I can unzip and upload them tonight or download winzip, it has a 45 day free trial, then I uninstall it and reinstall it for another 45 days...over and over. lol

Looking good AM!!!!

Modded Matt · « **Reply #31 on:** July 14, 2011, 09:41:08 AM »

I will prolly be able to get them up tonight. I need to finidh the default theme and save a back up before making the changes. I am very close to being done.

1TONpete · « **Reply #32 on:** July 14, 2011, 03:23:47 PM »

after dinner it will be done.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #33 on:** July 14, 2011, 03:43:29 PM »

ok, I think these are about the last few images i need to finish the them then we can have some fun.

does anyone see any other bugs.. we are looking for theme bugs, not really function bugs. just let me know what you see wrong. all lines same color and all that stuff.

maybe not even bugs, just things that should be changed..

please dont even look at the portal (shout box page) as it is not part of the theme and has to be coded in a separate css/php file.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #34 on:** July 14, 2011, 05:06:17 PM »

the menu_gfx image is wrong, the bottom two bars need to have square corners like the original. square your corners off with black, or just square off the color. (keep the rounded bar) do one and let me test before you do them all. this affects the image when you hover the button

and I need the "new_none" image in both colors??

Modded Matt · « **Reply #35 on:** July 14, 2011, 06:26:25 PM »

so, the red theme is up, but they both still need work.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #36 on:** July 14, 2011, 06:43:57 PM »

im done for the night, my eyes are bleeding, ive been staring at a monitor for about 13 hrs (work and here) ill pick it up tomorrow.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #37 on:** July 15, 2011, 07:33:01 PM »

I seperated the images so I can find them and sort them better. try to keep most general comments here.

the menu_gfx rounded bar issue is fixed, it was my bad. I fixed the code. so your images with rounded corners was good!!

I still need a set of black/blue collapse, expand, new images.

and the bars in the back drop menu have blue lines under the red

Modded Matt · « **Reply #38 on:** July 15, 2011, 08:14:38 PM »

green theme is up

1TONpete · « **Reply #39 on:** July 15, 2011, 08:16:36 PM »

I had a long day Matt I'll fix that in the morning.. I noticed the blue lines too. It was a shadow that got copied over.

Modded Matt · « **Reply #40 on:** July 15, 2011, 08:17:40 PM »

np the green looks good though these are some of the original orbs form the beginning fo acidmods

Rodent · « **Reply #41 on:** July 15, 2011, 08:31:43 PM »

Loving the purple but needs the lighting bolts added then its perfect

Modded Matt · « **Reply #42 on:** July 15, 2011, 08:35:45 PM »

I coulndt find the off in blue. those files are super old.

Rodent · « **Reply #43 on:** July 15, 2011, 08:36:44 PM »

So no purple?...lol

whitetop · « **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2011, 01:07:12 PM »

bit old yet still updating

i think a timer on the amount of posts you can do till you can post again like 60sec before posting again this will stop most post spammer from post count collecting plus could be easier to stop spam bots

Modded Matt · « **Reply #45 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:07:35 PM »

I need help updating and just putting info into the welcome new members boards, this includes site tutorials, FAQ notes etc. We may need a local moderator for this sections to help get new members where they need to go, and welcome them into the site. Maybe even a group of ambassadors?? anyone want to help out let me know.

hyper999 · « **Reply #46 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:13:45 PM »

I'll try my best if you give us some more specific details?

Modded Matt · « **Reply #47 on:** August 14, 2011, 06:19:00 PM »

I dont really know the FAQ area and the site tutorials are empty.

Ok this is to Robin and Matt and all other admins global moderators and blog and media, main people who take care of thins around the site,

I wish I could find the website but for some reason I forgot to bookmark it, but also, this is an idea for the site its self. In most of every town or city or even countries other then the US, UK , Canada, Austrialia etc, sorry my world history or Geography isnt that good to name them all. There are childrens hospitals and the web site I was looking for had instructions on how to donate things to hospitals, One of my goals is to take 3 of the xbox 360s i have that are in really good shape (not jtagable ones) and donate them to the childrens hospitals in my home state,

So my idea for this is could we have a donation section where people can post websites or even show things they do to help others or even get our members to help out and donate things like there old PS3 or xbox 360 and donate them to Hospitals other then always trading them in at game stop or other game stores.

this is just a thought maybe to help with the site becomeing a better commuity site. whats your thoughts on this?
