Gaki-No-Tsukai Big Update

I like the new ComBoot base for the forum.

But Honestly, the background Murders it. Too much color is distracting. I recall this background picture being only on the top of the page, which is why it it didn’t bother. maybe you can make it in GreyScale or change to a single color filter to dampen it.

Also, if you can make the bottom and top Yellow Bars not permanent, that would be great. Perhaps you can have them like before, as in stuck to the bottom & top of the page

Update:

Also, my SIGNATURE is HUGE !! Can you see that ? holy moly!

Yeah, gotta agree with PEGO there about the nav bars, also yikes!! Hahaha, guess the fresh new start took off some kind of image size restriction.

Maybe you can resize it like this:

We are making small baby steps. :)

And please stop using GIFs, large or big pictures in signatures. That should be common sense. :P

Edit: Am I the only one who doesn’t see some of the avatars?

The nav banner looks much nicer woo! Best of luck with the rest of the finetuning~

I’m assuming they don’t know how to size down an image but that the previous version of the forum had an algorithm to size down large signature pictures that isn’t present on the new system.

Currently images seem to get scaled down in posts but not in the signature area for some reason.

Most avatars seemed to have been wiped in the move, mine was gone so I re-applied it in my user settings.

Irfanview is a nice tool to crop or resize and compress images. I will not add a css rule for the signature. Some people are using phones and paying for the traffic. I don’t want to disable images in signatures.

Maybe it is a permission issue with the avatars. I will look into it now! :)

By default PHPBB has signatures set to allow unlimited width and height, but under the Admin Control Panel > Board Configuration > Signature Settings that can be changed.

It was set to 500x500 from the previous setup I guess. Thanks soudou!

Edit: Strange that it didn’t block his signature even though it was more than 500.

No problem!

By the way I noticed under Pego’s username is "?? emoticon code fail ?" I guess it’s the rank.

Best of luck finetuning! Thanks for your efforts.

Thank you very much. I will work on the forum on saturdays when I’m at my parents house.

Fixed the avatars, too.

yes my signature was automatically downsized by the previous website. I will resize it asap.

the "?? emoticon code fail ?" rank was a joke from one of the oldest creators of this forum. She asked waht special rank i wanted, but i replied "emoticon code fail" to someone else in the chat… and that became my rank … What a Curse…(i recall it was a she, not 100% sure though, it has been 5 years …)

maybe we should have an "old/long time member" rank. i see a number of old members still hanging around ;)

Oh haha I see, I couldn’t remember what your rank was before, sorry about that. :$

You can try to change the color for the Folders on the right of every subforum to YELLOW. Let us see how that looks; perhaps more like gaki colors.

Also, concerning the background, maybe you can put small gaki logos or faces of the GNT crew with their names. Do that if you think the background is too boring.

A pure bright yellow by itself might not stand out as well on white, but the Gaki star that I think was there before did stand out OK by being outlined etc.

For the background, if graphics are put at 50% transparency or something over the blue it may blend in.

Thank you very much for your hard work admin! :bow:

I will transfer the domain in the next step. It might be possible that the forum goes offline due to DNS related stuff during the transfer.

Thanks for the heads up! Best of luck with the switch. :bow:

The domain is transferred and the DNS settings are updating. Registration might have problems due to the missing mail server.

[quote="soudou":229fe0rs]A pure bright yellow by itself might not stand out as well on white.[/quote:229fe0rs]

I ment to put yellow in the little white folder icon inside the blue square.

I will actually only use the old gaki stars from the old forum.

Edit: Email and registration is also working again.

WOW, the website is looking great! :nod:
Hello y’all, I was gone for a while, and came back to this great surprise! :o whats up with the update?
