Liontamer will be keeping a master log of any technical problems / errors you encounter by monitoring this thread. Thanks for your patience, thanks for helping out, and I hope you enjoy the new design and other features/documentation that have been added!

Cribbed from djp's redesign on May 23, 2004, only with my handle added in, welcome to OC ReMix v4.2 (so-to-speak).

This design questions and issues thread continues where the old one left off. Please direct any and all questions and issues regarding OCR's current site design and interface here for djp to eventually attend to. Thanks for your help, and we all hope you enjoy the continuing development of OCR.

----------------------------------------------------------------

To Do:

• Add Folding@Home group to sidebar
• Implementation of new avatars & mascots
• Revision of torrent listings (sent to aubrey)
• Expanded Site History
• Add publishers for Guild Wars (NCsoft), Max Payne (Gathering of Developers) and Pictionary (LJN)

Fixes:

• Groups only appears in sidebar when viewing Main Page
• Fix tab clicks from resetting vertical page position
• Fix of special characters displaying as code on front page and preview text
• DKC SPC/RSN link fixes
• Word "songs" needs to be capitalized in the window title; already properly capitalized everywhere else
• Clicking 50 or 100 on pagination for Songs does not change # of listings; works everywhere else
• Extend GameURLs of Final Fantasy X-2, Final Fantasy II, Final Fantasy Adventure, Final Fantasy Legend II, Final Fantasy Legend III, Final Fantasy Mystic Quest & Final Fantasy Tactics

Suggestions:

• Chipamp extension support suggestion by OverCoat
• Highlighting for "Download" tab?
• More content on "Review" tab?
• Judges decision tabs?

vBulletin:

• (possibly unable to be changed) Newly-read topics/posts sometimes not registering as read upon refresh (was problem in phpBB, possibly browser issue instead)
• (possibly unable to be changed) URL quirkiness in WYSIWYG
• Changes to 10-character/5,000-character/4-image limit in posts?
• Increase size of text for post previewing?
• Ability to (again) access mix writeups from top of Review threads?
• Implementation of auto-double post merge?
• More avatars shown per page in avatar selection?
• Colors/bolding of members in groups?
• Add redirect to homepage in vB forums "default" style
• Special character password issue? (could be old/fixed)

Can we get a list of the new mascots? I can get up to 150, but I saw another one not in those 15..

Dammit, now I have to turn off Rama's OCR-R skin to see what the hell is going on...

EDIT: Better, for definitely. But not better than black.

Slightly more compact and shiny-looking. I like it. Have the banners been removed from the top for good now? I usually have them adblocked, but the white space reserved for them was still there before.

And the search box is cute, too ^__^

Broke Rama's black skin a bit!

Looking good, but it's still just too bright for my poor virgin eyes.

So uh.....why does the forums feel...different?

2nd to last post in the old thread :( I'll just repost it:

Hey, I like the chipamp, very cool! I don't think it necessarily needed to become a TAB on the remix pages though...

Also, you forgot one thing, that I think is essential to WinAmp!

http://winamp.com/plugins/details.php?id=132367
"Plays XM, IT, S3M, MOD, MTM, UMX and MO3 modules using BASS Sound System 2.3.0.1"

It's a solid player that will play XM and IT files properly, as well as adding UMX [The Unreal engine's music format] and MO3 [ogg-compressed module] support. I believe it's also necessary since the default winamp mod playback is horribly designed, it does not support midi macros or even the note-off command, which is DANGEROUS as it creates a wall of winamp-crashing noise :(
EDIT: OH YEAH, and... LOOP POINTS :E

If you feel that you need only UMX support, here is a plugin that will only play UMX:

For any future complaints: All that weird misalignment stuff? That's your old cache conflicting with the new images and formatting. Clear your cache and it should resolve all layout problems.

Any idea if/when the new avatars will be implemented?

Site looks good, by the way.

Good? It's great :D I love the tabs, and the search, and and and...-

Sorry if that sounds like sucking up, but I truly do love the new design. I'm ecstatic that the torrents are fixed, the front page looks nicer, it's all great. ...almost makes up for the travesty that is the Sidebar. :P
Can't wait to try out Chipamp and torrents. (My intnernet speed gets uncapped in another two days )
