Dane Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Since its a new season and some extensive maintenance on the forums software, it was time for a new skin. Please share your opinion in the poll above. Also, due to popular request, I have upped the avatar limits to 160x160. Previously I kept them small before due to some users still on dial up, but today less than 3% of our users are on dial up. Also for members, if you look up at your "View New Posts" in your member bar, you will notice it will display how may threads with new posts there are since your last visit. Please let me know if their is anything else or have any ideas to improve the KICentral forums experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Dane – I’m so happy to see a new skin for the forum and even better you did a great job with it. I noticed on the header on the second line it say’s “The Guide to Kings Island” I know on a lot of Disney forums they haft to list themselves as “the unofficial guide to ****”. Maybe it is no big deal but thought I would at least mention that before you get to far along. Excellent work, you all work great as a team.

Jasper Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I love this new forum look along with The Avatar sizes. This just goes to show how far this site has come along. This is my favorite web site on the internet. Go KICentral!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catzdrummer09 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I like it all but the title thingy. I liked the font and style of it before. Seemed less plain. BUT this works too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purplehaze Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I like the new avatar sizes. Just means all of you can see my pretty face even bigger, y'all are so lucky...lol PS.

iChase Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Everything looks great! I really like the reply and topic buttons. The larger avatars are cool too.

standbyme Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 The new look is an improvement...I think the color scheme could be a hair darker, but other than that I like it. As for the avatars being bigger...obviously I like that idea! I think people can be more creative. (Not that I have so far.) By the way, nice avatar Avatar...it's nice to put a face with a name. Also WooferBearATL if you really need help just PM and i'll help you out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Interpreter Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Not only do I like the new forum skin, but I love how quickly everything now loads! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 It does seem to load quick, that is awesome. Especially for Invision boards. You fellers did an awesome job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 I know for a fact that i could never even come close to designing a website like this in my whole life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purplehaze Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Jasper these boards are pretty much preset all ya have to do is tweak the settings a bit and add mods or code it to your liking. You can do it. They usually come free of charge with hosting such as godaddy or host gator. Or, you may open one up for free. They are a bit intmidating if you havent worked around one before.

The Interpreter Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 To the contrary, Dane has done an incredible amount of customizing to get this to work properly, and, more importantly, to keep it running. This is particularly so since the site has grown so much in both numbers and visibility. The amount of security measures needed these days to prevent attacks, particularly from certain countries overseas, is now nearly unbelievable. If you truly believe that running this place from an IT standpoint is simple, you just don't understand much about IT. It's like parks...nearly every kid who has built one in RCT or has ridden 50 roller coasters thinks they could run one better than the people who do run them--or at least as well.

Purplehaze Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 Yes they have done a wonderful job. I have run these type of boards. They are simple until you customize them to your own liking. Codes conflict, hackers and the like. Can be a nightmare at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i like the bar thingy at the top of the screen but i don't care much for the dotted lines on some of the replys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coaster_junky Posted April 30, 2008 Share Posted April 30, 2008 i didn't use this until just now, but i liked the old search engine alot better than this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
