OverClocked ReMix Design ?'s and Issues

[irriadin]

The front page is generating a javascript error,

selectedPanel has no properties

highlightTab("home")general.js (line 39)

selectedPanel.style.display = '';

Web Developer is also throwing a CSS error on the main page...

h1 {
	color: #4D4E6C;
	[b]font: bold Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;[/B]
	font-size: 140%;
	margin: 0px 0px 4px 0px;
	padding: 0px 4px 1px 0px;
}

I think font-size might be a required argument in the "font" shorthand.

Can we PLEASE have a signature size limit?

A lot of new people are coming in with HUUUUUGE signatures and they mess up the dimensions of a page and are really ugly.

I just realized Metroid Prime 3: Corruption doesn't have the system tag (-wii/) at the end of its url.

Now that I think about it I think it would be good to have a smart way to access remixers remixer-page from their forum profile.

As it is now you only get their ID and no link, for a link you have to click it in a post they made.

It's a minor thing but it helps

I'm still trying to figure out how to access individual profile fields from within the user profile template in vB... Hate to sound like a broken record, but they changed forum profiles A LOT in 3.7, so customizing it now would mean having to redo it soon.

3.7 Beta 4 was released recently, though... they're getting close, and once we've upgraded, this is DEFINITELY on my list...

Sounds fair thanks

Embedded video parsing has been added to the forums.

We realize this is something that may be abused (and WILL be heavily moderated for abuse!), but the considerable pros outweigh the potential cons.

Please report any issues here.

[Xerol Oplan]

Is there/will there be an option to disable this in the User CP?

[djpretzel]

It doesn't come with the plugin, so no. I'll request that as a feature for the plugin, but that's up to the author. If tons of people hate it, I'll just disable it; otherwise, Greasemonkey, etc. could probably be used to disable it - it's pure Javascript, AFAIK.

[Dhsu]

A unique tag would have been preferable (to me at least), but I like this.

[OverCoat]

We've had something like this on the Anime Remix forums for a while now, pretty handy actually! For things like the "Incredible Internet Videos" thread here, or other stuff.

And yeah HOPEFULLY abuse of this is minimal

[Sinewav]

I am so tempted to rick roll everyone. Of course, that would probably be considered "abuse" wouldn't it?

EDIT: Why isn't this thread in Announcements?

[zircon]

Minor functionality changes, particularly to the forums, aren't usually put in announcements AFAIK...

It's not THAT big of a deal in terms of site dev. Go hang around the new composer pages.

[djpretzel]

I changed my mind.

Thanks to AnSo, this is now implemented - you can toggle between a mixer's main profile and their forum profile using tabs.

Useful.

It's likely the code to achieve the same thing in 3.7 is identical, so I figured I'd go ahead with it.

Utterly awesome. Much love Dave, much love.

[Dafydd]

Indeed, very useful, and sleek, too. I noticed, though, that while viewing a profile, holding your mouse over someone's avatar doesn't show the image path and filename as it does in forum posts. The avatar's real name would be better still, but that's a whole other story.

EDIT: Er... ok, I don't really know where to post this, but this thread is about the site, so here goes: everyone keeps complaining about bandwidth, right? Normally, web hosting is rather expensive, but this one is a real jawhanger. http://www.servage.net/ - 510GB of space, 5010GB monthly data transfer limit, and at roughly $10-$15 a month. Wtf? Well, if you ever need another mirror, you should consider this... I'd get an account myself if I ever needed more than a few hundred megs of space. I'm trying to find the catch, if there is one. I'll be back...

Ok, lol.

Are there any hidden charges?

Absolutely not! Everything is included in the price shown on our website, unlike most other companies your domain (including yearly renewal fee) is included in the low monthly price.

Also:

Can I host adult content?

Yes. At Servage.net we believe in freedom of speech and do not censor customer content in any way. We do however not allow illegal content on our servers - no exceptions.

Yay, OCPorn! No, seriously, I don't know what this site's running costs are as of right now, but again, if you need more bandwidth, this would seem like the place...

I like the addition of WIP to the front page, but while we're at it, can competitions get a spotlight, too? That subforum could really use a boost to its activity before it dies off entirely...

[DrumUltimA]

i like the front page! but this is what the layout looks to me:

aside from my remix being in the RRR, i noticed there's that big gap there above the russian remix roulette. is that supposed to be there?

[Dunnowhathuh]

Was wondering about that gap myself.

[djpretzel]

Should be fixed.

Layout is now more fluid and will wrap at higher resolutions, although sometimes this can result in unpredictable results.

Competitions forum added.

In general, homepage is in flux. Things might be added, taken away, or whatever based on feedback, new features, etc.

[HalcyonSpirit]

Competitions forum added.

Thankyouthankyouthankyouthankyouthankyou!!!

Maybe now that sub-forum won't die a slow, painful death.

... Not to mention maybe getting some more participation in the Writing Competition.

[Imagist]

Page looks pretty nice now at 1024x768. I'll see what it looks like at 1280 when I get home again. And thanks a ton for the Comp. spot.

EDIT: One thing occurred to me about the timestamps: there's a little confusion inherent in displaying the time of post regardless of whether that time is today, yesterday, or last week. Maybe anything that's not the present day should display the date rather than the time? Not sure how tough that would be to wiggle in.

[bladiator]

There might be some more impressive things that happen behind the scenes that I don't know about, but this is easily the coolest addition I've seen to OCRemix in a long long time.

Nice work djp.
