Website Upgrade 11/2/12

Is there any way to include the "Forerunner Conflict" thing to be included scaling up and down the sides of the forum like the previous one had, along with the various ships in the background? That'd be neat.

My only complaint is that the register button says "Click Here 2 Register!" rather than "Click Here to Register!"... :P

Other than that, great work, guys!

I like how suggestions are thrown out, after things are released. Anyways, I'll be modifying allot of things, each month is different so yeah.

Speaking of my issues with capitalization...

As I said earlier:

Disclaimer: Work in progress.

We had to shelf a few things due to time or other issues. Got a number of additional features and things planned to be added in over the next few days.

*cough* new Vcash system?

Coming soon.

Only critisizms I have is that.. there needs to be a (maybe 60% opaque) box around the login/regster parts at the top of the page.

Metkil told me the same thing yesterday during the livestream. It's set up in our super-secret test skin, but I haven't transferred it over yet. Will do that shortly.

I actually kind of think the system we have now is fine with the Enlisted, Officer, etc, I just remember when there was the push for Rank Specific, don't remember the out-turn of that though. I just remember we said "wait until halo 4" xD But I'm pretty sure REDD/BLUE have the same ranks.

That's one of the things we had to shelf.

First of all, finding enough unique Halo 4 screenshots with different looking Spartans was difficult just to get the few usergroups we are using at the moment. Reach had a Beta, so we were fine then, but with H4 we can only do so much before the game launches.

Also, we've got to go through and get Mede to make the images, set back up all the usergroups themselves, attach the images, fix permissions, etc., which all takes a lot of time (and honestly is far from our top priority at the moment).

So it won't happen before the Beta War, but it may happen between then and the first real war in January.

Also, just a note, using this skin with Mobile and using the "New/Today's Posts", you can't click on the little number that takes you right to the page, you can only click on the thread titles.

1) This skin is far from optimized at the moment. A lot of things will be adjusted and fine-tuned to improve loading times and functionality.

2) This skin will not be optimized for mobile browsers.

3) We are working on a mobile skin that will be optimized for mobile, but it's not a high priority and likely won't happen for awhile. I recommend using the default vBulletin mobile skin for the moment until we get it set up, though.

Also, this skin doesn't load on my Laptop either. The stars background does, but the new banner and seasonal background does not. I only knew about it cause after class when I opened my browser, I noticed it had completely loaded. So it just takes awhile.

That should be fixed once I optimize some things and reduce the cache size required. The reason it wouldn't load is probably because the image cache put the website cache beyond the limit your browser had preset, so it wasn't loaded.

The skin took like 3 minutes to finally load on my computer. xD.

Should be fixed once things are optimized, but for the moment we had to rush some things to get it out.

My only complaint is that the register button says "Click Here 2 Register!" rather than "Click Here to Register!"... :P

That was one of the first things I noticed when we originally decided to use this skin, and I had totally forgotten to change that. That will be changed either tonight or tomorrow, depending on when I find time. xD
