Young Composers Roadmap - August 2006 Onwards

Looks good so far! Would it be possible to allign the member information under the avatar, as it is here?

Doing this would cause the member information row to gain too much height.

Demonstration: http://www.youngcomposers.com/forum/style_...under avatar.png

Still trying to figure out what would look good for the arrows.

In regard to the database conversion, a vBulletin staff member should be taking a look at our setup later on today in an attempt to diagnose the problem we've been having. So, if he gets it working, we could feasibly have a conversion test run today and make the full switch within a couple of days.

No, no. Ugh. I meant something like this : http://www.squaresound.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7632

EDIT: What she said.

I think he meant have the entire section on the left as we have it here, with the two vertical cells instead of having the member information on top of the post.
Is that possible?

Ah, that would probably require a completely different (and custom) skin, then. Or, just some re-jigging of the current one. I'll see what I can do.

Hmm, I think it would be best to download a pre-made skin with that formatting and then either use it as an aid or apply the new CSS/images to it. I'm not keen on using the link you provided as an aid, Letehn, as I just ran it through the W3 markup validator and discovered that there are over 450 errors. A few don't really matter, but 450+ really isn't best practice.

I can't download new skins until I get customer access to the vB community forums though. Will work on that in a sec.

Nice new avatar
DO you think there is any way to put a count-down timer on the flood control page? I hate having to stare blankly at the screen and count to 10

Flood control shoutbox? Or posting?
I didn't know there was a posting one..
Anyway it's just 10 seconds :S
And if you mean the shoutbox, we're getting a new shoutbox with the upgrade. (real-time / AJAX according to the plan)

Flood control is disabled for mods, Daniel.

There probably is a way of getting it to count down before your eyes with Javascript, but this isn't a language I'm all that well versed in. Still, doesn't mean I won't use this as an opportunity to expand my knowledge. But I consider this suggestion quite low priority.

The vB staff are still trying to resolve the issue we've been having with the converter, meanwhile...

I've already tried the AJAX shoutbox by the way. Very nice piece of kit.

Oh, and I've decided to stick with standard vB HTML for the skin (for now at least), and here's why: it will probably make upgrading a lot easier.

I'm selling the access codes to the test forum... Bids start at $890... GO!!

Yes that Ajax thing is aaahahahahahhwesome. And the paper messages!

They're actually pager messages, Letehn. And we're probably only going to introduce them for mods, at least at first.

Meanwhile, I'm continuing to liase with the converter's developer in an effort to get some working scripts that will clean out excess IPB HTML left in converted posts.
