Posted April 1, 200420 yr FPCH Admin I did a major upgrade to the site. I bought a skin and modified a bit to get the look just right. There are still a few tweaks to do to it, but, for the most part it's done. I also redid the frontpage and removed virtuanews and replaced it with vbadvanced homepage. The site is now controlled fully by vbulletin. One set of templates to edit. I added a rss news feed hack and all I have to do now is set up users and feeds to post news. This makes my job easier since everything will be done automatically. Tell me what you think. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
April 1, 200420 yr I certainly like it. :) With a bit of tweaking it will be an excellent style. I also like the new front page engine. Must more streamlined than vNews. ~ Simon "Yesterday upon the stair, I saw a man who wasn't there. He wasn't there again today, he must be from the CIA."
April 2, 200420 yr Much better! One suggestion though, you may want to add some space between the forum listings & the forum headers, just a thought though. BTW: Thanks for the link :) Adam --Imspire.com
April 2, 200420 yr I like the style. Only thing I've found is that in Opera the 'Quick Links' menu doesn't go over the Google ads, so hitting the right bar can be a bit of a challenge. Edit: The one thing that I've noted is that the setting to place user info at the left no longer seems to affect the placement of the info; its always on top. -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?

April 2, 200420 yr Author FPCH Admin The ad placement will change. I just put them there temporarily. They will move to the the sidebar on forum home. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest

April 3, 200420 yr Author FPCH Admin i also noticed that the user info is always at the top. also clicking view new posts shows all the posts ever made. doesn't seem to work the way it used to. I think what happened is it grabbed all the news posts posted by the bot. They were probably new since the last time you were here. It runs every 4 hours. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
April 3, 200420 yr Author FPCH Admin It works right. I just tested it and the only new postwas the last one I made. Off Topic Forum - Unlike the Rest
April 3, 200420 yr Looks soooo much better than before, especially the frontpage (I hated the frontpage with a passion). Great work Bob! :) -Zach "It's a flat file masquerading as a relational engine. The Fischer-Price of DBMS." - Concerning mySQL "What's the single most stupidest OS feature? -The User"
April 4, 200420 yr Wow, hadn't looked at the main page. Very nice. Also, the user info pane is in the right place now :) Awesome job, Bob. :D -The Gavster Three students died that year at the academy; one was executed, one was killed in a training accident, and one died of natural causes, for a knife to back will naturally kill anyone. -RA Salvatore Like to IRC?
