What has been done to the frontpage ?

hehe all i am waiting for is the sb back up ;D

[Daemon]

No thats not all true, ehm i must be honest and say i dislike the new frontpage ;s the 100 newest/active looks bad imo. I liked the old skin on frontpage way more. Other than that it doesn't seem that bad So maybe instead of making a name called forums on the list to the left The GFXvoid Navigation make a name called 100 recently active threads and make the forums on frontpage again ?

The old root homepage is now at http://www.gfxvoid.com/splash.php

What was previously used as the homepage was the forums index, which is still at http://www.gfxvoid.com/forums/

The new root homepage is where the 100 most recently active threads are listed: http://www.gfxvoid.com/

This is something we can definitely consider. By default the forum index is at http://www.gfxvoid.com/forums/ and I'm not sure if the mod I used for the root homepage is able to push that content to http://www.gfxvoid.com/ If what you suggest is the preferred setup, though, then I will certainly look into making that happen.

The shoutbox, by the way, will be back up within a few hours. I need to head out in a few minutes and will get started on the sb as soon as I return.

Instead of recoding the old skin, why not work on getting a new skin? We have all asked for one, and since it has to be recoded, now would be a good time to do it.

[John]

The current recoding of the skin is already finished. We can definitely work on a new skin soon. The main thing I needed to accomplish with the updated coding was so newer vb features, or maybe I should call it functionality, would work properly. In addition, getting this coding issue sorted enables us to use some vb mods which wouldn't have worked before (due to non-standard coding in the previous version of this skin).

I'd also prefer this.

Also is the shoutbox making a return?

P.s my pink name is gone

[Pet]

I think I would like the forum directory to be the home page as well, kinda of annoying as it is. But my bookmark is at /forum as is so.


Muahaha ratchet is just a bold member now.

PS: I still want a #da7d8f pink name.

John this is sick! i can't wait to see how its gonna be when its done.

Haha I was sure that the zoom on my computer was broken, everything looks weird.
Good that your getting everything sorted out!
