TJ Phaserman 2 Posted April 18, 2008 Ok, I finally got the new skin installed. It took a while because the company that I paid refused to fix some things that I didn't like about what they had done so I had to make the corrections myself. If you'd like to see their version of the new skin just scroll to the bottom of the screen and use the Skin selector in the bottom left corner. Their version is named StarTrekFans, this version is STARTREKFANS VI and if you want the original version back that one is STARTREKFANS V. More alterations or additions may come soon but for now this is the new skin, you can use any of the skins in the selector that you wish though. Also, for FireFox users I'm aware of the User Links bar issue with all of the links jumbled on one side. I'm going to try to correct that soon and have a FireFox friendly version soon. it works fine with my firefox so im fine with it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrPsychic 1 Posted April 18, 2008 It's an interesting skin, I'll check it out for a bit, and I'll keep it if it grows on me. Otherwise, I'll use the older version. I'm glad we have the option. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted April 18, 2008 It took a while because the company that I paid refused to fix some things that I didn't like about what they had done Well, that's annoying. What's the point of hiring someone when they won't do what you ask them to? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

youbroughtheryouRiker 2 Posted April 18, 2008 Maybe it's the computer I'm on at work right now, but I can't see the text that I type in the reply box unless I highlight it or until after it's posted. It's hard to detect or fix typos this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KIMIMELA 1 Posted April 18, 2008 I prefer the new one but I cannot see the black on grey. I had to change my accessibility settings so that it inverted the text to white... I think it should stay like that. Other than that I prefer it to the previous one you've been working on, Kevin, but that's my personal opinion. After all it's your site Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where specifically? What screen? On the StarTrekFans skin, while browsing the forums, the colour of text on the grey clashes so much. Having said that, on the reply screen with the light teal and black, that looks very nice. A lot better from a Web Designer's point of view. :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's just there in case anyone wants to see it or of anyone likes it they can use it. The Default skin is STARTREKFANS VI and has been modified to work on this database.

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 18, 2008 Where the heck is it? You're picking black as your color. For it to show up you have to pick something that doesn't blend in with the background. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wishfire 2 Posted April 18, 2008 The skin is doing a weird thing. On the portal, the banner will be farthest to the left, but everything else (current article, board stats, etc.) will be farthest to the right... far enough that I have to scroll to the right to see it all. Here's what it look like when I go to the site... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishfire 2 Posted April 18, 2008 (edited) And here's what it look like when I scroll over... I'm using Firefox, but I didn't have this issue yesterday. It just started today. The rest of the board seems fine. (Sorry for posting two posts to say this, the screenshots were too large to upload both in the same post.)

VaBeachGuy 12 Posted April 18, 2008 And here's what it look like when I scroll over... I'm using Firefox, but I didn't have this issue yesterday. It just started today. Switch your skin to the one named "StarTrekFans" and see how that looks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
