Hey everyone ^^ Yup... I joined been wondering what happened to DIV-ARENA some time ago and then Frimkron told me about this so YAY I'm registering and uploading my first DarkBASIC WIP as I write this ;). Anyways... passing by the site, forum, etc. Looks real nice, love the site design! :D. Some things though... 1) The Forum layout is kinda strange in the threads list... there should be some kind of grid.. or even borders, so one could difference from one thread and another one, I find it quite hard for the view to distinguish which thread is who's. 2) In WIP uploads, "Don't plagiarize. Games with blatantly stolen graphics/sound and no author credit will be rejected." <- what about WIPS that don't show credits yet? would be accepted a credits notice (like, "The original game was made by XXXXXXX") in the description when you upload? 3) When you choose programming language, make sure there's also DarkBASIC Professional - as DarkBASIC Classic (DBC) is lotsa different from DarkBASIC Professional (DBPro) which mixes now kinda with .NET and there are apps now made in DBPro too, so there's no confusion between the two. 4) I think there should be more Game categories (instead of just strategy, action, adventure and platform), there are Role-Playing games too, First-Person shooters, etc... guess it can broad a bit more? 5) Same in Other Attributes, there could be more stuff ^^. Either way, keep on it! nice site so far, so glad to be in here ____________ |

Oh damn I just welcomed you in another thread. Ah, welcome again anyway. Quoting DARKGuy: I find it quite hard for the view to distinguish which thread is who's. You're right about that, I also noticed it. Just hit the guilty working monkey that is responsible for this (probably Ferret). Quoting DARKGuy: would be accepted a credits notice (like, "The original game was made by XXXXXXX") in the description when you upload? That's author credit too. I suppose it will be fine. If stuff isn't thát blalantly stolen at least (if it's a remake then it'll be fine). ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

I think they mean on the (sub-)forum pages showing all the threads in the (sub-)forum. Where it says "Blah blah posted by blah" and last post is "some date by blah". I'm figuring these young whipper snappers want these thingumajigs in seperate columns for ultimate usability! ____________ I see 57,005 people. |

Or at least one row with dark green, other row with darker green, next one with brighter green, next one with darker green... and so on, or at least one row without dark green border, other one with light green... besides, Souperguy is the best skin this site has... hey, at least it has images! xD Quote: Oh damn I just welcomed you in another thread.

I'm still confused. What's wrong with it? I don't see any problems with distinguising the rows.

It's hard to the eyes when there are lots of threads (take a look at TEAG for example) X_X

Quoting Ferret: No idea what this even means. I don't have any problems with rows, though I agree with Darkguy that the topicstarter name right under the topic title is a bit unclear. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

That reminds me - does anyone know how I set the padding for the forum post cells.. you know - those would be the dark green areas on Souperguy. The css class is "forumcontent" or something, but setting the padding property doesn't work on table cells for some reason. If we can't do it with css, is there any chance we can stick a cellpadding="5" in the html or something? Because I hate the way the text is right up against the border there. ____________ |

Wait - is that the only thing that looks wrong in Opera? Dude! High-five! I was expecting like the entire main section to be squashed over to the right or something

Uhm I'm confused now. What's wrong with that screenshot? That's how it looks here too.

Looks fine here when using that skin, it has two lighter lines between the topics. I'm using the Aqua skin though, because the Souperguy skin is sometimes being an ass, not showing the Post Reply button and trying to expand the screen, but fails due to fixed width, so text and images are not visable. Otherwise it's great though. ____________ BennuWiki Yes, my avatar has grey borders in IE (so get a decent browser) ROOFLEZ ROOFLEZ |

Quoting Dazzy: Is it only me or do images screw up the tables for everyone?, theres parts of the text I can't even see when there is a picture in the page. That happens here too (and on pretty much every computer I use). Frimkron is aware of it and is redoing the skin. And hopefully he's going it make it a lot less dark too. And another main color perhaps eh. ____________ Personal website: http://www.loijson.com |

Yes that happens here too, it's the sole reason for me to use Aqua.

Colours have now finally been changed. As for images cocking up the layout, the HTML will have to change for that. I suggest losing the outer table for the thread view and instead just having the inner tables for each post. The outer table doesn't seem to do anything on this view anyway.
