Random crap with Uno.

Just a note. 

LOGGED OUT Safari defaults to the new posts on top format. 


Theres a check box in look and layout for new posts on top that you need to uncheck. 

[BU Admin]

AH.  Got it.  Fixed.

--I wonder how THAT got checked, and why it only affected three people who are neither guests nor new users?

The problem actually caused any guest that viewed this forum to experience the problem. I really am a good deal at times with regards to providing useful insight into issues  .

! No longer available

The boss has heard a few of these...but for all the crap I have around, these kinds of videos show just how bad it COULD get...man that's a lotta junk..

Crappy week at work almost done...hopefully back to some normality soon. 

4 day weekend coming up, with our annual trip to insanity thrown in just for fun.  I'll post pics of THAT later.

Got some items that need attention on the Halloween front, too, probably work on those while hEt sleeps in.  Time to update the party pages and buttons for the year.  Hard to believe this is year 6 for the carving party.  Might just reuse the button, it's not too shabby at all.   

Devil's Carnival in 2 weeks!

Lovely. 

Another piece of equipment we bought without thinking things through...

deal with that next week. 

[Buster's Uncle]

You'll fix it.  Something to do you'll be proud of later.


Boss Mrs. Uno, I'll be expecting feedback on the changes to Astronomy...

[Unorthodox]

Afraid this one will be beyond me, going to require someone with a contractor's license.

Halloween before:


After:


It's always a lot of fun tracking down where in the stylesheet any particular theme has hidden things like the menu and the linktree so I can move around.   The improvement in topspace really shows in the right sidebar.

This one had the breadcrumbs in a border box generated somewhere other than index.css that I can't find, so I couldn't move it or get rid of it, which introduced a tiny flaw in the background you can make out in the thumbnail, but hope won't stand out for users.  Tough for my pedantic soul to let it go at that, but diminishing returns to spend half a day hunting down something so minor.

The very top is a great empty field of black so I decided to swap in the wide version of the logo - which demanded that I center it, which the .css code wouldn't do, so I had to in the art, and which sorta forced me to center the menu under it, which is another thing the stylesheet won't just do - so hours burned on just those.

The bit I like about this pass at the theme best is the customization of the logo.  I've done some really cute little thematic adjustments to go with, for example, Winter and Enterprise, and I'm a bit put out that no one has let on that they noticed...

Lean in and look real close; I didn't just turn the planet orange, but the effect I spent so much time on is subtle by design.



I need to update the thumbnail for Curve to reflect changes I made weeks ago, then I'm taking a break to finally watch Star Trek: Renegades after a week, which I anticipate hating even more than most.

Don't forget to vote in the poll at the top of the thread.

Still taking that break, but another pass at The Chilling later today.  Any suggestions/requests/feedback before I dive in?

[Buster's Uncle]

Break's over -I didn't hate it- and thanks to von, I just noticed that The Chilling's link color is almost invisible against quote-background blue.

-Pretty astonished that you've not been by in the nearly 10 hours since I posted that last.  I don't know how forums in this circle could survive if people didn't browse at work.

[Buster's Uncle]

Well,11 hours now.  Cover me boys; I'm going in...

[Buster's Uncle]

Our story thus far:

Fiddled the board title backgrounds to improve the legibility of the titles.
Those links are green now, which is still a little faint against the quote background, but no longer nearly invisible and looks great everywhere else.
Rearranged some index subforum display blocks a little to save vertical space.
Upped all the smaller font sizes slightly - they struck me as pushing too small for good legibility.
-Jiggering the breadcrumbs and menu top spacing still to go...

Astronomy looks great, on both my phone and tablet.

There's less than 60 days to get ready, I'm always sporadic this time of year.  You should be used to it by now.
