db Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Happy to take comments, suggestions, etc., and simply note that this is in progress, and far from finished tweaking, but my schedule is ramping up and I just wanted to get it out there, man! Welcome! there's a place to put your original WGB handle in your profile if you decide to change yours (as I have). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyboots Posted December 16, 2015 Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Seems to work for me! Any options for markdown, just out of curiosity? The only thing I can see right of the bat that might be cool is alternating post colors. Don't know how hard their table styling makes that… Edited December 16, 2015 by heavyboots Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Markdown? I don't know what that is. Would you like admin privileges so you can delve into the back end? I'm more than happy to share . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 (They've done a massive rehaul for this version 4, and I'm less useful than usual at alterations so far.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 I have made @ArkanGL and @heavyboots admins so you can mess with skins if you like. Pull down menu from your member name in the top right should now have an option for Admin CP, same login and password as for the main site. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2015 Oh and speaking of, there are some complicated notification options, and I have not changed the defaults....let me know if you would prefer to opt in to all (as in, I can turn them all off as the default, I think).

ArkanGL Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 This is so much better than that Hoop.la bullshit. Did you add a link to the old board somewhere? We need our archives 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I haven't. I was wondering if there was a way to bring some of it here, maybe? But can put a general one on the index page I suppose, somewhere, and I think it's probably good to link back to the real WGB in the novel forums (do you love the book covers??!!! I love the book covers!!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

db Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I don't know, I was trying to figure that out. It used to be optional in the old version.

db Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Oh you know what, it's only visible to you because you're an admin. Others can't see it, nor can they see each others' as far as I can tell. (I just had Scott test it out.) Of course, Admins can see each others' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkanGL Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 Is there a way to change my 'title'? (that 'n00b' thing, under my username) I am too lazy to google. Shame on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psychophant Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 So far, so good. I need to test with other devices than a Surface Pro. I need to get an avatar image. And I need to get a few posts out. At least it makes me tingly in ways the other board has not in years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heavyboots Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 So I went ahead and built a theme. I will start off by saying I totally stole your idea to use the Mona Lisa Overdrive face and ran with it, db, so a lot of credit goes to your right up front. At any rate, in the Themes are at the bottom of the page, it's the hvy testing ground if anyone wants to try it out. It's just barely tweaked from the default theme, but to be honest, I quite like their choices of colors as it turns out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remotevoices Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) there is something i can't quite put my finger on, but the hvy theme needs just a little tweaking. but looks interesting. though the default looks reasonably decent as a starting point. i do like seeing the mona lisa face on the tab though..

ArkanGL Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I'd like to get rid of thread tags. I can't imagine how they could be anything other than annoyances. What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
remotevoices Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 i've added them to the couple threads i've started, but kind of for the sake of it, and feel no real need for them. i suspect 1st surge of threads will be recreating the classics to keep us all happy and we all know how those work. and i'm sure they'll be self-evident enough for any strangers that aren't from these parts.

heavyboots Posted December 17, 2015 Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 I agree they're probably not hugely necessary for our purposes. No idea how you delete them though. Maybe just set display:none? EDIT: You know what would be really cool? If we had the "First Unread" links back instead of the tags… I am having a hell of a time locating tags, but I've found a few if anyone wants to peek at my css custom file for clues. Now trying to decide if a denim header is hideous or cool. Selvage! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
db Posted December 17, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2015 First unread is the little circle/star on the left in mobile, something or other on desktop. Mouseover should help you find it! I've been using it successfully. I will take a boo at your theme! I am not sure when I'll have a chance to do my slim and trim...man I wish they'd gotten it up lat weekend! oh well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
