Welcome to the optimized layout: Staredit Network version v4.1.

The changes we made were mostly in the header, although there are a few in other places.
  • If you are logged in, you will now see a drop down menu for all the locations of Staredit Network. We were running out of space to put new links, and decided this would be the best option so we may keep adding things.
  • If you are not logged in, you will see just the links to the main sections of Staredit Network instead of a dropdown menu, because there are less options you can access unless you are logged in (plus its better for you non-javascript compatible browsers, in which case, shame on you!)
  • Channel Broadcast. We had this in our first 2 layouts, but dropped it because we had no where to put it, and we didn't have anyone to run the bot 24/7. We now have Cheeze(U) running the bot in which it broadcasts whoever is in our channel. (looks better in firefox).
  • Optimized "My Account". Before, it would take up a great deal of the header. We brought down the font size and put it into 1 line. There we have it.
  • No more map making tips. It wasn't worth it having it on every page.
  • Credits to Deathknight as we stole his waterfall image attachment for the header because it was so cool smile.gif
I must tell you, that the site looks SO MUCH BETTER in firefox. We mainly designed it for that, but we are of course gave it compatibility with internet explorer and opera.


Additionally, Map night will now start at 6:00pm to try to get more europe people coming in. It really doesn't matter if you come at 8pm either, because typically people start leaving around 2am.

w00t!!!

Firefox is *a lot* more sexy because it actually renders .png files correctly.

Firefox
user posted image
vs
IE
user posted image

And the user control panel has some fun options to set...

*updated or something, explained below*


Hope you enjoy it because this layout was very fustrating on both our parts wink.gif.

Now I can use Firefox instead of IE. Adblock was screwing with SEN =P.

I cannot explain how much I love the new layout...
Amazing job...

Its not a new layout, its just a change (because we still like the colors, images, and so on).

I used to love IE.. up until very recently. The deeper and deeper I get into html and css, the more I hate it.

I guess I converted sad.gif I bet Cheeze will be happy.

I like the new layout. Only our navigation bar do i not really like. Just so much dark green space...

But then that's just me. Gj though.

ADDITION: Also, whenever i look at pages like reviews and File Backups, it displays those error numbers at top of page right? Well it messes up the aligning of the navigation links vertically.

You're learning happy.gif
Report, edit, etc...Posted by IsolatedPurity on 2005-01-28 at 18:41:59
Yes... learning... it's still gay in some perspectives wink.gif.

ANYWAYS.
Somehow or something screwed up with the usercp skin. If you updated any options or the like in the past couple hours or so, it might have set your menu options to weird null data. This only applies to people who change some options in board perferences. I really don't know how it happened wink.gif.

Edit ~ I just edited some member data for you... Chill and Sessase... I'm betting that was all.

yea, i agree. maybe make it in a transparent green box with a white border. keep the layout for it the same but just make it stand out more.

--BTW- how did IP and Neo get different colored post counter things?

IP has his head in the clouds, he think he is too godly tongue.gif Give hifself "inifinity" participation and a blue counter. Next thing you know he'll give himself 1000000 minerals tongue.gif
As to Neo, I haven't a clue.
