Tremulous finally transferred to Simple Machines! Give the dev's a w00t!

Johnpp · « **Reply #1 on:** November 14, 2007, 11:52:02 pm »

Finally. This setup is WAY better than the last, just add some better skins please.

Looks great, Timbo. Hope you don't get too many "zomgwtf it's different, kill it" emails/PMs/etc...

Death_First · « **Reply #3 on:** November 14, 2007, 11:57:43 pm »

Its the form of my website but change the skin it looks like crap

Freaking A, this layout is such a wonderful break on the eyes from the old one. Guys, when you make a custom theme for this board could you consider using some lighter colors, at least in the post windows? :)

The quote code is a little more cumbersome than most forums, but look at all the stupid new formatting styles ^we _can

have

~~fun~~ with! :D:D:D

(Oops, looks like about half of those don't work right. Oh well.)

Unfortunately they're inevitable. See this thread

Oh, and the best thing to ever come to these forums, avatars. Although it appears animated ones won't work, though perhaps that's just because it had to resize the one I tried; it might work if you get one that it doesn't have to resize. Timbo, any word on this?

+ OPTIMUS + · « **Reply #7 on:** November 15, 2007, 01:39:12 am »

avatars +1
settings +1
design -1 (should tremulate it a bit, i liked the previous icons. now its a bit.... off-topic

)

I'd still prefer an overall darker theme myself though not to the point it causes readability problems.

I KNOW! ITS AWESOME!!! That is the first thing i checked for.. i've been wanting avatars on for a long time. Mine is animated and appears to work though it isn't resized..

I also just noticed i now have the power to ban people..

Let the karma bribery begin!

You can applaud or smite people. If you applaud them for being awesome their karma goes up, if you smite them for being stupid it goes down.. its just a feature mainly, nothing happens when you reach 99999 karma.. (or does it!) though if you reach -99999 Karma you get poked in the eye with a pointy stick.

_Equilibrium_ · « **Reply #12 on:** November 15, 2007, 02:45:12 am »

i kinda liked the old forums. the brightness of these forums surprises my eyes.

NotMexel · « **Reply #13 on:** November 15, 2007, 02:46:48 am »

Good Skin That should be good for everyone would be the DilberMC Theme. There are 12 different colors to the skin and every user can select which color they prefer.

When you change someone's karma, is it anonymous or does the recipient get to know who did it? Also, how often can you change a single person's karma?

EDIT: By the way, these smilies are ugly as sin. Any one of our members could make a better set, or you could just as easily find one free online. Can we arrange this, please?

_Equilibrium_ · « **Reply #15 on:** November 15, 2007, 02:58:53 am »

I don't care if they know if i am smiting them. If they say or do something stupid, i will smite them. I will award useful posts though, although i doubt i will see very many.

There are settings i believe to change it to be several different ways. I am pretty sure people can not see what karma you give them, that is typically how it works, and i have no idea where mine came from. As far as the limit goes... i dunno.. just keep applauding me until it tells you to stop and let me know what the limit turned out to be

Odin · « **Reply #18 on:** November 15, 2007, 03:27:30 am »

I wish karma was post-based(like Slashdot).

Exclamation · « **Reply #19 on:** November 15, 2007, 04:12:12 am »

I think David made an SMF theme that looks like the old forums.

If you're talking about my original post, it was a congratulatory one.

However, Get some skins

what you do to the universe it does back

@Timbo: Could this change in forums mean that other oft-spoke-of and much-anticipated Tremulous news may be rapidly forthcoming?

Kaleo · « **Reply #22 on:** November 15, 2007, 05:19:56 am »

Grrr...

Don't worry phpBB, I still love you...

Honestly, I fucking hate SMF. It may have more features, but it looks butt-ugly.

Is there any way I can access the old phpBB forums?

PIE · « **Reply #23 on:** November 15, 2007, 05:26:04 am »

.. i'd expect a better theme eventually.. one thing at a time though. I'd rather they spend time making games then playing with themes.

I've seen some decent looking SMF themes.. but the one thing that annoyed me the most about phpBB was it's lack of properly defining "since last visit" for new posts. Hitting refresh over a weekend would yield me a page of 80-some posts, all of which I've read already but it still shows them as new (and doesn't take me to the "new" post when there is one, but somewhere around where the new post was the first time I clicked on it).

player1 · « **Reply #25 on:** November 15, 2007, 05:33:18 am »

I agree with Kaleo in that I thought the old forum was slick looking.

I agree with PIE in that I'd much rather have devs spend time being game devs and not worrying about forum themes.

I applaud you both. Bravo, sirrah and sirrah, and a lovely good day to you gentlemen. (PlayerOne is raising the level of discourse in honor of the pleasant new surroundings.)

Nice upgrade.

Lava Croft · « **Reply #27 on:** November 15, 2007, 06:41:09 am »

Good job Timbo, I know how long this has taken you. Let us hope moderating is a bit easier now. Onward with the banhammer!

jr2 · « **Reply #28 on:** November 15, 2007, 09:26:47 am »

Niiiice, SMF... I mainly am on the HLP forums (which uses SMF), so I'm used to this.

BTW, for those who are wondering, this blue theme is the SMF default. HLP looked like that at first, too.. take a look at it now.

Basilisco · « **Reply #29 on:** November 15, 2007, 09:51:02 am »

Well, finally a new forum

I guess the natural thing to happen is to have the 'tremulous' theme looking like the page, but also a 'classic' theme for the ones who liked the old forum looks :]
