Re: Welcome to the new forums!
My personal favourate is the dark fantasy setting, as it puts the avatar on the correct side and isnt so bright on the eyes.
In saying that, Zic, the for...just kidding it rocks.
Is there a link that takes you back to the website?

Hehe 'correct side'
Link back to website done (the alfa logo).

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
Hey Zic, I'm not sure how, but it seems something drastic has happened to the ALFA site. Everything is more shiny, professional, and user-friendly than I recall.
Don't worry, I'm sure a rollback can correct the problem.

Not working for me (yet?). It links to http://www.alandfaraway.org/phpbbforum/index.php instead. Might this be theme-related?zicada wrote:Link back to website done (the alfa logo).

It is, its only changed on the main theme. I don't really understand why anyone wants this though. Just keep forums in one tab and the website in another..hollyfant wrote:Not working for me (yet?).

Thanks Zic!
Re: Welcome to the new forums!
All kidding aside, a little bit of bug reporting;
Also, for the website, I keep receiving different server syncronization error messages each time I log in. The most recent ones have had to do with time settings and avatar.
I got this message when I tried modifying my signature, however I wasn't changing the image itself, just the text beneath. So does this mean my current signature is too large to be allowed......but is still being displayed anyway?Your images may only be up to 250 pixels wide.

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
Yeah, youre avatar and sigpics are both a little big. Thats why you get those warnings. Avatars should be max 150x180. Sigpics i'm still not really sure how to deal with to make things as good looking as possible. Common sense really. A sigpics height should be fairly small. Yours i would make wider and shorter if i were you. I can do it for you if you would like.KalevD wrote:All kidding aside, a little bit of bug reporting;

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
Forget who it was (Avaz?) who made a variety of admin, staff, builder similar banner signature things, I removed mine just because I "believed" the warning being described above. Anyhow, if it's deemed too big now, I guess give a moment's thought to whether those past banners need resizing, rehosting, whatever.

Good job, once I remembered the preferences thing I was MUCH happier. It looks like a LOT of work and the awesomeness of it is awesome.
Thank you!

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
That's ok Zic, I make all my own sigs with Photoshop so I have no issues coming up with a new one that will work with the phpBB3 format
If you get any ideas in regards to ideal dimensions, please post!
Thanks for the speedy reply

Re: Welcome to the new forums!
My one and only problem with the forum is when I log into the main site it wont log me in. I try 2x and still wont log me in. If I come to the forums it logs me in. So, dunno what that issue is. Just a FYI.
