That is already going to be done. Unnecessary code will be removed, images are compressed MAJORLY, and you have the option of disabling the shoutbox.


Actually, I have an idea to fix your problem. You see, it checks the referer for leeching protection. I could have it so members don't have to undergo this process, and instead they have to do a security key validation (its a new technique developed by me... for every session you make you have a impossible to predict 5 random character security key, which is checked in important areas so people cant just link anymore.)

I heard IP say there will be no glow effects, Is this true?

Well, it would seem that, once again, the Search feature is SEN's best kept secret...





The reason is there will be no glow, is because it doesn't show up in Netscape or Firefox. It only shows up in IE.

Use a system with a formula for respectability or w/e any system regardless of design that relis on one factor is doomed. Did you see that IP?

Yeah but a lot of people still do have "IE" and I for one think it looks awsome, Would it hurt to keep the glowing effect?

Because I'm sure a lot of people would agree thats its a nice addition to these forums.

Having Glowing Effects

Advantages:
-It looks good

Disadvantages:
-Doesn't show in any other Browser other than IE 6
-Additional coding needs to be done

Not Having Glowing Effects

Advantages:
-Faster Loading Times
-Less bandwith/space on server
-Clan tags will be much more visible

Disadvantages:
-None

*Note that these advantages/disadvantages are only technical and not in relation to it being an item at the store for which you pay for.

I tend to agree, with no glowy effects, they arent that special are they?

Beer, you are actually incorrect with all of your statements.


-It is actually no faster or slower. Maybe IE takes 0.00001 seconds more to apply it, but you really think thats faster?
-Your second point takes up more space and bandwidth then member name colors do.
-And clan tags are no different with or without member name colors.
- We might make a member name background, which is viewable in all browsers. I still need to take it up with IP.
- "Addidional coding needs to be done"? Since when do you decide what needs additional coding? And what needs additional coding anyways?

I bet it's possible to write a php script that takes a color and makes a glow effect (perhaps a recursive emboss filter) using php image functions and then saves it as a dynamic image.
Something I'm not willing to attempt .

1)Glowing Names took like 1 second more than without the glows.

I would see first all the non-glowing names and then like 1 second after the glowing ones would appear.
2)I know, the quotes are just one bit of code like <font color="FFFFFF">text</font> thats all it is.
3)DOH! The glow wouldn't apply to clan tags.
4)And that has to do with Glows in which way?
5)Everything in a website is a code and the both of us know it.
I believe everything is being re-coded so that means you would need to create the code for the Glow, the Store Item and stuff like that. It isn't much but there is code in there.

I didn't decide anythign, I just said some small coding would need to be implemented.

I'm for the glow. What ever happened to the Glow BB code thing?

1.) that is done AFTER the page is loaded, so it doesn't do anything to your viewing experience.
2.) The colors in the database will be 6 characters. Thats it.
3.) No kidding!
4.) The fact that it will now be crossbrowser compatible.
5.) But im in no hurry to finish it. It will take as long as it will take.

So are glows in or what?

If plan to go through with some sort of store bought thing like that, it will most likely be a solid background, not a glow.

I have a suggestion not related to glow effects:

The tutorials DB should have a section for general knowledge concerning staredit and starcraft, because there are too many people who don't understand the more conceptual ideas that aren't actually special effects in maps. There should be articles on general things like "How switches work", or "How wait actions work".
It would be like a supplement to the staredit help file.

I also noticed that the submission form for tutorials doesn't have the nice buttons for inserting BBcode tags like you do when you're replying. Those would make it easier to submit tutorials.
It would also be nice to cross-link all the tutorials upon their submission - the first time the phrase "hypertrigger" is mentioned in a tutorial, it is automatically linked to the tutorial on hypers, and similarly for other major topics.

Hmmm... cross linking would be sexy, although, not exactly sure how it would be done... a keyword dictionary table I suppose... I'll consider it.

The bbcode thing is because I never cared to find out where and how to implement it in a new script, I figured anyone l33t enough to make a tutorial wouldn't need little buttons. Like, I never use them, but then again, I'm so used to writing out html and such it's super natural. Anyways! All post-like inputs would be just be a simple class call where they'll all be from one central source, so, it'll be done. However, I'm not exactly sure if I can pull off all the little things invision does like "Open Tags: x" or "close all tags" and such, we'll see.


No idea, I'm not too big of a mapper. I listen to what my tutorial managers have to say. If they want a new catagory, I make it for them. If they want a new feature type thingy, they have to say so because THEY will be the ones managing it. In my next script, it'll be completely self managed so the manager's can make catagories and such and do as they please. It'll probably be even starcraft 2-ready for the hell of it.

We used to have it before and it was helpful, looks like you got rid of it upon replacing my content system I'm up for it.

We're making the post box, file submittion box, tutorial submittion box, sig box, PM box and so on ALL share the same html code in a php file, so we can change BB codes and stuff with it effecting everything globally.

So...like...an iframe?
*RexyRex is confused.

Hm...what else to suggest...
I just looked at the page and found "Time is now: 24th March 2005 - 03:15 PM"
That's useless. Sure it's just $date = date(dS F Y - g:iA); echo("Time is now: ".$date);, but then again that's something you can garuntee almost NO ONE will EVER use.

I use it to quickly look at the time.

Here is the place to see the time :

I meant the board time, to see if I configured it right.

What about a wikipedia sandbox?
nvm: that would be pretty worthless now that I think of it.

What the hell is that?

According to a friend, starcraft 1 won't be compatible with Windows: Longhorn. Longhorn is the next generation of windows. (Yay, the security holes will jump from 10,000, to 1,000,000,000 !)
