Time to Renovate!

[Morsus]

I love this new layout!

[River]

I figured you would say something like that. But it's all codes and stuff Jiggums. If there's anything you didn't like, you could simply mention it and I would take it down. After all, I made no changes to the layout of the boards, to the rules or profile management. All I messed around with was the appearance of the forum, visuals and graphics and stuff and I left the skin you made intact should you wish to use that instead of the new one. If there's anything you don't like, say the word and that aspect can easily be deleted. Like pressing an undo button...

It's just that I'm not active on the BBA anymore (don't really have the time to dedicate myself there) and I don't know you anywhere else. So, since I couldn't really ask you questions every two seconds and since all the changes were merely visual (like trying on new clothes, so to speak), I saw no harm in simply doing it and changing it as you saw fit. That's all. ^^

Sorry if it seemed like I was imposing on your powers as administrator Jig but I viewed it differently. Like I said, I didn't make any major changes to the forum. The rules are still the same, the management and way this place is run is still the same, every thing you created is there and very much intact, everything you made this board to be is still very much the same. But, upon hearing that a few members were being turned off by the color choice of the first skin, I promised to make a new one and here it is. I made it the default skin so that others could see it but, with the press of a button, that could change. Nothing is permanent, not set in stone and nothing is too incredibly major so, excuse me if I don't see how this is "taking over"....

So, with all that said, is there anything, anything at all you don't like about this? Anything at all. The forum resize? The info box? the category spacing? Just say the word and with the press of a button, it's gone. Just like that. ^^

On second thought, it was pretty foolishly hasty of me to go running off and doing all of this at once, asking people to advertise a little and such. Guess I kind of got ahead of myself. But after all of this inactivity, I guess someone had to step up and do something. At this rate, the animated movie thing will never get finished and we'll never be able to advertise anyway...

Ah, don't worry. I'm glad you veiw it this way, I didn't think you'd react dangerously, I've just been a bit...well, edgy. What with exams and etc.

But its fine as it is, I really love the layout, you are very good at HTML. I like the new music Player.
I don't know if its my crappy laptop or not though, but the layout seems to slow my computer a bit.

[River]

No worries. ^^ I'm in a good mood after watching Eragon (which was pretty visually stunning, if I do say so myself) with my parents and eating out for breakfast. Plus, exams make me edgy too.

Anyway, I had a feeling the layout might be a bit sluggish. The background image is pretty big so it can cover the whole screen... but I think I might have a way to fix that. >.>

I just finished watching Happy Feet, xD Weird Film.

Anyway, I think its just my laptop, I have 187mb left of disc space. -shot- I think that's why its so slow.

[River]

My mom wanted to go see that. I just laughed in her face and walked away. X3 She liked Eragon though...

Anyway, even if it is your laptop, I still have an idea that might make the background a bit more tolerable to those with slower machines. Even on my computer with it's 5 gigs of free space, the background takes a few seconds to load (omg! not 3 seconds! X3). It's still something I can make better...

[Sargy [Jigg]]

Happy Feet was plain weird, though, seriously, I mean, there's these evil characters which you only see once in the film. Like, this leopard seal says "Remember, I know where you live" Wouldn't you think he would come back later? Nope.

Anyways, What's your plan?

[River]

Aww. I liked the look of the leopard seal in the commercial. I figured they'd do something with that. o.O Oh well. It is a movie about penguins dancing, what can you expect? >.>

I plan on splitting the image up. So instead having one big gradient image, I'm going to create a pattern that can be repeated width-wise across the screen. It will hopefully create the same effect all the way across and it should make it easier for computers to load one image and repeat it. Plus, it will look nicer for people with different resolutions than 1024X768...

[Sargy [Jigg]]

Nice idea.
I recon it would work.

[River]

I hope it does. ^^ But first Photoshop will need to work for half a sec! >< *attacks computer*

By the way, Jig. Can I ask you do something for me? Can you email everyone on the site to encourage all of our members to come back? I mean, with so many members, it seems pretty odd that like four or five people are ever around but maybe the new layout will show them that this place is back in action, yes? ^^

Plus, now's a good time to get some animating done... but first I'll be needing some model sheets... o.O

[Sargy [Jigg]]

Sure, I'll be do it now.

[Sargy [Jigg]]

Done and done. Anyways, I'm off to bed now. -yawns- G'night!

[River]

Night Jiggy. ^^
