There are two new themes with skins of the main theme you guys can check out for color ideas - custom style 1 and custom style 2

I also installed a dark version of the theme to try out.

Let me know what you think.
 
Grand Potentate Grand Potentate Any way to make sign-on persistent in iOS Safari private browsing mode? Forum software always signs me out when I've "alt-tabbed" and sometimes even just switch between browser tabs...

In private browsing? No, unfortunately. The whole point of private browsing is to prevent cookie storage and tracking and those are the tools by which the forum keeps your status as logged in.
 
I installed an addon to defer loading of java script on webpages. This should help speed things up a bit, and possibly get those last post targets closer to the mark. Let me know if you notice any improvements.
 
Apologies for the short downtime. Had to run a forum software upgrade. All is well until something else breaks.
 
no one is ever there when I call in to chat with my imaginary Canadian friends
 
hmm. why do you think so? the size of the box or it doesn't function properly?

I feel like we've had this conversation before...

Size is not bad. Quoting functions and such seem a bit finicky to use
 
using the little edit pencil or the buttons like quote and italics?

Quote, italics. Don't know anything about the pencil.

Besides that, I just don't think of going to chat. I occasionally check to see which members are on. But as a communication tool? Meh.

interesting. they work ok for me but it places the cursor outside the code, which is annoying. i'll look into that.

also working on shrinking the sizing down so it takes up less space on the screen.

i know, but other people do, so we might as well get it out there a bit.

Actually I was using it to facilitate conversation with fxh and to send out banal updates from my life that don't deserve their own post or thread.

What happened to the donations again? My finances have finally recovered so I reckon it's my turn.

Absolutely

Exactly what it's good for

We had a glut of donations thanks to John Lee Pettimore III and Thruth Thruth . I'm sure that LKP LKP and FriendCustomer will be up next. Maybe some of our other German brethren as well.
 
So I shrunk the size of the chat on the main page. What do you guys think? Too big still? Not big enough?
 
mine doesn't show who is on chat. Anyway usually its no one or just a bunch of fucking drunk canucks - same thing

I took out the chat list to give more space to type, since I made the box so short vertically. With the list you'd either have to scroll right or have even less lines of text showing. Your call if you think it should be in there.
 
In the long absence since the Sportsbook has been up, its intrepid developer has been hard at work adding in features. I bring this up because he might have stumbled upon one that you guys will finally like:

Betting Exchange for Member vs Member Bets

As per title, the ability for Member A to create a "bet" with Member B. This is a ONE on ONE bet.

Member A creates a Bet, sets the stake amount (which is immediately deducted from Member A's on hand cash) and choose the member they want to place the bet against.

Member B can then either accept the bet (which the stake amount is immediately deducted from Member B's on hand cash) and the bet is LOCKED (preventing Member A from changing the bet criteria) OR Member B can reject the bet in which time Member A will either have his stake returned and the bet will be closed OR the bet will open to the public which in case anyone can accept the bet (only 1 person tho).

Bets will consist of a TITLE that gives members an idea of what the bet might be about (eg Raiders vs Broncos), a DESCRIPTION that sets the parameters of the bet (The Raiders will beat the Broncos by 14 pts), Stake amount, which is the amount that BOTH players wager (winner takes all), setting some Dates that control various aspects of the wager and whether its private or public.

Once the event is over, it takes BOTH Member A and Member B to settle the event. The payout options are Push (returns the stakes), Pay Member A or Pay Member B. If the event is not settled by both members after x amount of time (admin configurable), then a Bookie that has permission to Settle Member Bets will be able to handle it.

The Bet Criteria will NOT be editable by ANYONE (that includes Admins, Moderators and Bookies), so there is no way (besides editing the DB) to change the criteria.. ie, if Sheldon bet me that the Lions would beat the Raiders by 33 points, then one of his buddy Mods couldn't change it to 21 points and then settle the wager in Sheldon's favor.


I figured this could be used for anything....This sound appealing to anyone? Thruth Thruth , fxh fxh , John Lee Pettimore III, Rain Man, Journeyman, LKP LKP , ConchitaWurst, FriendCustomer, MFDoom, COG, doghouse doghouse , Pauly Chase.

i am sure the perverted mind of ConchitaWurst will make something up

This might have potential.
