Site Re-design

[jazz]

no, i'm not talking about the messageboard (breathe)...i'm currently working on a new look/reconfiguration for the whole site, so in case you guys don't see me around as much, now you know why. i'll still check in once in a while to see what's up and to answer people's PMs.

Hell yeah!!! And we can all answer the door and pretend that we're soooooo surprised to see him, even though our car happened to be perfectly displayed in the driveway, and we happened to be home, and happened to answer the door.




Even with that said, I still love that show. :shame:

[Godless]

wow....something looks weird here.....

[Joga]

I noticed it too...all of our posts are up higher or something.

[Godless]

I don't remember what it looked like before though

[Keith Moon]

Our posts themselves are all smashed up against that blue bar.

yeah that. es retarded

[jazz]

i was installing a hack, but i need to update vbulletin when i get home...

now what do you mean about the posts being smashed against the blue bar?

[Godless]

^^^^This^^^^
It's too close...I think....?

[jazz]

it looks fine from my end. that's why i was asking you.

[Joga]

Yeah, mine looks like Godless' does. Our actual posts are up closer to the blue bar, or something. It changed yesterday afternoon.

[Godless]

[Joga]

I think there used to be a little area at the top where it was like this:

BLUE BAR

[jazz]

we'll see if it reappears after i upgrade the board this afternoon. :shrug: if not, fuck it.

[iha]

I like how the newest version of vbulletin looks.. http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/

more compact, but not too much.

BTW, what happened to the encircling logo on here? :frown:

[Tzarina]

whoa... the structure of the board changes everytime i refresh, come back... crazy :loon:

i think i was disoriented for a minute there :lol:

Man, this is just like when I install anything on my computer, the first part just flies by, but that last %5 takes forever. :wink:

This is true. All I know is I wanna see the new site already!

[jazz]

i already finished it on thursday, but i didn't want to start the news at the end of the week. i'm considering listing some news and launching it late this afternoon.

and don't think the site's gonna be all flashy and outrageous or anything. it's a nice design, much better than the one now, but remember, this is my first venture into php. again, this is something i learned on my own.

[Joga]

jazz, we already adore you. You don't have to make up excuses for the new site. It will be good. It's encircling.us...how could it be anything but good?

[jazz]

aww, thank you sweetie. :inlove:

i just don't want people to have these incredible expectations and then be disappointed.

:crying2:

[Bruce]

That's what I'm saying. Where's all the Flash Macromedia? All the interactive menus? All the free cheeseburgers and lube?

Actually, it's all good with me. I think things are going just swell. :yay:

[jazz]

swell indeed. i mean, we're invading supermarket seafood sections and confusing people to death.

:yay:

[Bruce]

I'd like to add a little Project: Mayhem myself. But I know going too far can be detrimental.

[Joga]

NEVER!!!

[jazz]

as long as it doesn't result in a policeman knocking on my door, it's cool.

[Bruce]

[Joga]

jazz, are you going to open up for donations again?

[jazz]

jazz, are you going to open up for donations again?
yeah, sure.

[Bruce]

If I donate, can I have an 800 X 600 avatar?

[jazz]

i'll consider it. :what:

actually, i'm offering your own POP email addy for $1 a month, plus other ways to help out the site. thanks for asking.

[The Judas Cow]

Can the site play "Gangstas Paradise" everytime it loads?

Cause that would be sweet.

[jazz]

Can the site play "Gangstas Paradise" everytime it loads?

Cause that would be sweet.
i'll make a note of it.

makes note of it

[Godless]

I don't expect it to be flashy (and Flash sucks!). I'm just not a big fan of black & white color schemes and frames. Unless that's what the new site will be like as well...in that case, I love them!

[jazz]

:dammit: i hit another speed bump.

the site works perfectly (again) in firefox, but in IE, the recent posts thingy is widening my left <div> column which in turn is pushing the center <div> down the page. i was just about ready to upload the site and everything until i tested it one last time. fuck!

:ar15:

[Godless]

Well...hmmm, I wish I could help you out. I haven't done any of this stuff in about a year or longer. I do remember the DIV stuff being a bitch though.

[jazz]

well, the div isn't being a bitch, IE's the culprit.

[Godless]

Sounds like some tweaking is needed

edit: I'm so helpful

[jazz]

i'm trying to contact a vbulletin rep since i got the javascript code from their site.

[Godless]

goose luck

[iha]

95% done, eh?

[jazz]

well, now it's 99.9%.

[Godless]

sweet

[Person]

So how long 'til the new version is up now?

[jazz]

unfortunately, it gave me style errors in IE, so greg #2 and i are currently trying out different ways to make it work. the site's done though (i finished it last week).

once i get both browsers to display correctly, i'll upload it and let you guys know.

[Person]

ok, cool.

Damn IE users!

[jazz]

greg and i have been working for the past two nights (counting this one). we got one issue resolved, now another one popped up. :ar15:

you fix something in one browser, the other fucks up.

[Person]

lol... what's that? I know IE had issues with your div alignment code or something. But yeah it's not like I could help.

[iha]

it's annoying how many peopel still use IE

[EtchedInCold]

if this were my own computer, i wouldn't; but my parent's would freak if i changed things.

[iha]

i always tell people that get me to fix their computer that they should start using firefox instead of IE... usually they dont listen. :frown:

[iha]

aww, thank you sweetie. :inlove:

i just don't want people to have these incredible expectations

:crying2:
too late

[Bruce]

I'm expecting, stupendous changes!!! :jig: I want to be stupified. Goofified and jazzercized!

[jazz]

too late
i just announced that i was giving the site a makeover, when did i say it would be the best thing since canned MAGO?

[EtchedInCold]

I'm expecting, stupendous changes!!! :jig: I want to be stupified. Goofified and jazzercized!
i thought that said gooified.

[iha]

i just announced that i was giving the site a makeover, when did i say it would be the best thing since canned MAGO?
i'm expecting it to be better than a cure for cancer

[jazz]

:ontome:

[EtchedInCold]

i'm expecting it to be the cure for cancer.

[jazz]

lance armstrong like a motherfucker!

:MAGO2:

[EtchedInCold]

i guess you're/it's done?

[phi]

Woohooooo! encircling.us, baby!

Well done, jazz. :dude::up:

:wookie:

[jazz]

oh, it's done.

:faint:

i'd like to thank greg #2 for helping me fit the java in the recent section. it is very much appreciated and was very much a pain in the arse.

[phi]

A pat on the back also to greg #2 (Keith Moon). :dude::up:

[Heath]

oh, it's done.

:faint:

i'd like to thank greg #2 for helping me fit the java in the recent section. it is very much appreciated and was very much a pain in the arse.

:up:

[jazz]

not to mention that greg, although we didn't solve the alignment issues in IE/FF together, was with me for two nights straight trying to fix it. luckily i came up with an idea at work and when i got home tried it and it worked.

he could've been using that time to play grab-ass with MAGO and dio, so much thanks to him.

[Trizzak]

Just got your thoughtful automated email.

I'd like any generalizations to not include me. I don't miss anyone like you implied.

Except adamfool and Martta. :frown:

[The Judas Cow]

Well done danny :up: :up:

[jazz]

Well done danny :up: :up:
:thanku:

[iha]

Looks great Jazz! Much more professional looking, and I like the color scheme (we should have a vbulletin style that matches it :shades:). I also really like the "recent posts" on there. I bet it can cure cancer too, right?

:up: :up:

[The Judas Cow]

:thanku:

No, thank you.

[jazz]

thank you, iha. i wanted a darker scheme this time...and yes, if i find a vbulletin skin that matches the site colors, i'm definitely picking it up.

[iha]

Or you could take a scheme that you like and edit it to match. :shrug:

[jazz]

Or you could take a scheme that you like and edit it to match. :shrug:
yeah, but i'd want it to have firmament's style.

- Danny, I think this smiley says it all --> :victory: Good work, Danny :nod:...oh and MAGO, dio, and myself usually play grab-ass on Thursday nights so no harm done... :five: :cheers:

[Person]

When I go to www.encircling.us, I get a 404 with a couple of pictures of Ozzy Osbourne and his fist, which has the numbers "404" written on it.


And "Oops" at the top of the page.


So: :hmm:

Just a tad. Good job to jazz and full-Mooner over there... :rimshot: :stroke:

[toodef]

nice job jazzy jazzmaster jazz.

[iha]

yeah, but i'd want it to have firmament's style.
that wouldn't be too hard i don't think. :shrug:

i would do it, but i don't want to have to buy the style :down:

[Person]

Hmm I'd really like to be able to see the new page, but I can't. WTF is going on?

'tis.

[jazz]

nah, you have to be visiting a page ending in .htm...i don't have it defaulting to any page except for index.php.

[Person]

nah, you have to be visiting a page ending in .htm...i don't have it defaulting to any page except for index.php.

Hey yeah, that happens when I enter the forums (www.encircling.us/forums) (http://www.encircling.us/forums%29)... But still the address reads simply encircling.us in the add. bar.

Do you have a .htm I can link to?

[jazz]

try http://www.encircling.us/index.php

[Person]

Yay! it works. Thanks. Looking cool :up:


but where's the image of the week ?

[jazz]

Yay! it works. Thanks. Looking cool :up:


but where's the image of the week ?
i decided to just upload photos to the gallery.

[EvAn]

Impressive man :up:

[Person]

Hey Jazz, I'm just noticing that the "latest posts" section on the front page isn't really displaying the latest posts from the Public Access area. :hmm:

Do you need to manually update the page or something?

[jazz]

it works when i refresh. :shrug:

[phi]

Is it supposed to show the threads with the most recent posts (messages)?
Or the most recently created threads?

[jazz]

whenever someone replies to a thread, it bumps that thread up. whenever someone creates a new one, that one winds up on top too.

[phi]

Ah. Because it's the second one showing in mine (by thread creation date). Or maybe it's because I'm using IE. I don't really mind, I'm just saying. :)

[Person]

The latest date listed on it for me is the 20th.

I think this site is messing up for me or something.

[jazz]

no, you're right, person. i'll take a look at the code when i'm home. thanks for bringing it up.

[Person]

np

[Joga]

Yeah, mine shows posts that were made on the 18th...

[jazz]

oh, silly me. apparently, it logs when the post was first created and the person who created it. it doesn't update every time someone replies to it. this is why i've asked you guys to post all your new stuff in there (unless it's something private that you'd rather keep hidden).

[Tzarina]

i like the new look on the home page... very spiffy indeed... gg jazz ::heart:



oh yea, and when i hit 10,000 posts... probably today of course :rolleyes2 ...can we have it count backwards, back down to 0??? Please... :laughing:
