View Full Version : New Furious Angels Skin
Hinch has asked what we would like from the new Furious Angels skin, as all of the freely available skins for VB 3.8.0 are terrible.
The requirements at the moment can be pretty much summed up with 'Fluid/Full page width' with Sidebar support and Shoutbox support.
Other stuff that would be useful:
Color scheme
Layout ideas
Icon ideas
Smiley ideas
Plugin ideas
etc
I'm pretty clueless at this, but i can mention a few things.
The old design (the one we had pre-upgrade, with menu on the left, top banner, and posts on the mid-right side of the page was pretty good. Colour theme should be dark, but not pitch black. The smilies that are here are too variable (some smilies dont match others, different sizes and colours etc.) so an improvement there would be nice. I can see if i find any cool smiley packs.
I can't think of anything else atm.
Some flowers, and naked men pls. :cool:
Yea right... pixel would bitch if that were to happen. She wants naked women, and I'm with her on that!!!

im with clur on this one tbh
Moving avatars to left side of post seems like a good start.

awww... you'd allow pictures of naked men on here just to please clur, how cute;)
oO no i have no own needs as well you know
but yes, move all user information to the left like in the previous skin, consolidate all of the little boxes at the bottom of the page into one (tags, bookmarks, currently active users, similar threads) and have them below the quick reply box. Remove the 'previous/next thread' links
Javascript quoting would be cool (select fragment, click "quick quote" and script pastes highlited text into quickreply box, with [ quote ] tags).
yeah that'd be nice :p saves editing your quotes before posting ^_^
multi quote option does that select the posts you want click multi quote button then click go advanced
Nah Quinn means select a portion of text and then click a button and it autocopies just what you've selected into the quick reply box
pfft am not doing that thats js regex hell !
yeah, all happening on this very page, no reloading at all, ability to quote many times from 1 post.
Simple implementation I saw uses the username from the button you clicked, this is nasty sometimes with very dumb users, but sufficient 99% of the time.
stolen from some polish DIY-forum :
function quote_fragment (a) {
var sep = "";
if (window.getSelection) {
var selection = window.getSelection();
} else if (document.getSelection) {
var selection = document.getSelection();
} else {
var selection = document.selection.createRange().text;
}
if (!selection{alert('No text selected, dumbass!');return false;}
else {
if($('#f_body').val()!='') {
sep = '\n\n';
}
$('#f_body').val($('#f_body').val()+sep+'[ quote='+a+']'+selection+'[/ quote]\n').focus();
return true;
}
}
where "a" is user name (and posibly post id) prepared in each button link when generating page.
BTW : text links instead of buttons FTW!
lmfao ^_^
but i thought you were a genius :p
wtf, where's my post ?
Sent to moder it said when I posted through advanced

disagree!
although i would like a less graphically intensive more css-based design, but the buttons gotta stay!

I have no idea... it just did the same to mine.
Just approved both of them though.
Ha ha! So I've tricked you into approving text buttons! : P
LIES! Tbh, I would go as far as flat input buttons rather than graphical buttons, provided they're background-color: #000; border: #FFF 1px solid; color: #FFF :)
btw, their layout is also cleanest I have yet to see:
http://www.fotka.pl/forum/read.php?f=7&t=956715
"Cytuj fragment | Cytuj całość" stands for "quote fragment | quote all"
Note the fine dashed line separating divs for user profile, message body and signature.
There are no customization options, everyone see same things.
There is no page for after posting, advanced posting or anything, you type in quickreply and can preview via ajax.
It was all done to save traffic, 5.6k users/day.
Another pro of their layout is that no gfx prog is needed : D
it's a very clean design yeah, and I am all in favour for removing the 'after post' screen

Quinn thats boring...
I want lellos and blues and purples and ....Just take a look at my profile page. :biggrin:
black background with yellows and reds :p
your posts got put into the approved queue as the forum now uses akismet post processing for checking if its a spam post or not.
implemented in an attempt to stop gold spamming posts in future as they should be caught by moderation before being posted
So, if say I post:
Buy wow gold for cheap!
It'll be put into the approve queue?

Well, you'd be disgracefully called "PoKeMoN" on that forum then : D

little bit smarter than that go read up on it at www.akismet.com iirc

How come that quickreplys aren't catched up?
because on a quick reply it uses an ajax switch to just display what you post straight on the screen but it can't do the actuall processing check without doing the full post so thats done on the back end thats why on your quick reply it'll appear but when you refresh it won't appear.
btw i appear to have got blogs working again so shoutbox can potentially come back soon just gotta work out that array merge error
I see, but I'm sure that QRs were working really, not just on my DOM, as I'm addicted to F5.
thinking about it actually it may show a post by you but in the moderation queue to you but perhaps with a flag somewhere saying "pending moderation" or something. so you see the whole post but others don't
on member.php and converse.php:
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions.php(1443) : eval()'d code on line 3
Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/functions.php(1443) : eval()'d code on line 3
yup i know ignore it still trying to work out whats causing it. same error as before but now instead of breaking entire forum it partially works ok.

any possibility that the new skin can hilight in ridiculous colours posts that are waiting to be approved?
or just go to modcp and it gives you a list there :)
fairly sure there's a list else where too can't remember where though
Reduce the number of clicks, Microsoft are doing it, everybody else should :p
yay now we have naked torso every time i refresh <3
While your at it Hinch......SHOUTBOX! =)
