Liking the new look! - UBB.Developers

Hey Rick,

I really like the new look! And, since I wanted to test out the polling feature, here's one to see how many people agree with me!

Thanks and enjoy!

As AOL would say, "Me too!" []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]

I love the new look and the polling feature is great fun.
One thing: when you submit your vote you should be returned to the results page.

I agree with both of Eileen's comments ... The new look is great - much crisper - and the polls are good but should take you to the results. I am assuming that polls can be disabled via a configuration option.

I'm working on getting it so you will be returned to the results, but it's a bit tricky. Hopefully I can get it figured out.

And yes, you can turn the polls off in the w3tvars.pm file.

Cool. It really is very smart and much clearer to look at. Well done and keep at it!

Another thought: the general move on the net seems to be towards smaller and neater. I'm finding the fontsize here a bit big for comfort - how's about trying it down one?

And it will NOT let me vote more than once from the listed IP addresss.

Great inprovements you are making.

Thanks to everyone for the positive feedback. I think I have it worked out so you will get returned to the results once you submit your vote. Let me know if you have any trouble with it.

Yes. It takes me directly to the results now. Great fun.

And then back to the question ... Cool!!!

Just one question:

When can I download 5.0.9 ? []/w3timages/icons/tongue.gif[/] I want it now now now []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]

This poll system is amazing. I came here just to see what was going on but I wasnt expecting such a change!

A think that I would like is to be able to see all the polls from a page, or some way of showing the poll outside the post, and then go to the discussion about the poll. Another one would be to highligth in a way certain polls.
It seems to me this way would be more useful. Of course I guess this can be done (if you agree) on a future version....Excellent work!!!

Wow, what a pleasant surprise! I LOVE the new look! Much better! Very well done! []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/] Also noticed that the tables were added where they had been missing before, great!

However, I do like the old look of the Main Index better, with the two multiple colors for each board. I hope that part get's to be optional, otherwise I'll have to hack mine to stay the way it is now.

Just one question - is the bordercolor for the tables definable, or does it have to be black?

Currently this isn't an option. But, the description of the forum is in it's own table, so you could easily change the color of that to give the multi-color look, otherwise it will require a bit of a hack to change it around, but not too difficult.

Yep, it's in the theme file as $theme{'bordercolor'}, so you can have it pink, purple, green, whatever[]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/].

Okay, thanks, I guess when I upgrade to 5.0.9 I'll just have to make sure I keep that part as-is then... no problem! But the rest I really LOVE, great job!

Naaw Eileen, just verdana in 10pt!

I think the new image set makes everything work []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]

I like it... but will everything still be hard coded in the pl files for the 5.09 release? So, for changes, still the old way? (don't mind, just wondering!)

Looks like the Nays have it!

Yes, everything for 5.0.9 is still in the .pl files.

Scream, I too agree. The new look is terrific! Keep up the great work!

Eileen,
One can log out of their ISP and log in again (or another ISP) and get another IP address and vote again. I just voted the second time for the smaller text. The first vote was when I had posted about not being able to vote twice.

It'll be still possible even when we change to the Username but I reckon anybody who's prepared to go to all that trouble deserves and extra vote. []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/]

Well, I was going to release it today, but since it is my Birthday it looks like I will be putting it out tommorow more than likely.

Another suggestion. Limit (option) to ONE pol per thread. I can see some threads having a different pol in every reply.

Eileen,Thanks for the come back.

Happy Birthday Scream ! (I'd start a new thread, but I'm just a lowly stranger []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/])

Now get the hell off the board and let your wife pamper you []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]

Happy birthday! []/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/] Enjoy!

The new look is good...

But do we really want to look like UBB?
