Metanet Forums

Here's my design, slightly modified from a skin I made a while back, as you can see I changed the forum icons to make it more noticeable when there are no new replies. It isn't totally finished so bear that in mind

EDIT: Post your bugs here people. If you find something provide a screenshot, with the browser and version you're using, to find the version look in the About section.

Your entire amount of awesomeness has been sucessfuly compiled into this skin.

THIS IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!11111ONE!!

Very nice, but I'd alter the banner a bit, reducing the size of that chunk taken out in the corner.
Also, the zap drone under the one-ways looks a bit scruffy, so maybe use a different level, or portion of that one?

Either way, it's clean, light, and reminiscent of the skins gone by, all good things in my book!

1. I'm gonna either reduce the size of the chunk.
2. I'm gonna either change level or do something else because that required me starting N and doing a few frames.
3. I'm gonna add Ad Space. As I removed it before reading that they're being added (No pun).

STOP BEING BETTER THAN ME, YOU IDIOT.

I love it, but i agree with Ad.

Very nice.

I knew you were going to say something involving Chase's skill at minimalistic design.

I like it as much as incluye's :|, even though the banner isn't the best.

I love it! Much happier than the current skin. I prefer lighter tones to dark.

I dunno about the "anti-rip" text in the background though =p

Oooh, nice. Very nice. I'd like to see a complete version.

That's my map! <3

Nice skin, although I don't like the white text on the semitransparent grey at the top. You and incluye should collab. That'd be legit. :D

Umm, guys, the "Anti Rip" text is just to make sure nobody steals the design.

Again, good work Chase.

Anti-Rip never stopped me...
Awesome job, Chase. I can't wait to see this finished.
And you and incluye have inspired me to try and make a skin as well. :)

We are, sorta.

Sweet. Let us know when the CSS sheet is done.

Umm, going to do the rest of it?

Ahahaha. Yeah, good point, Chase.

i think the footer area has boxes a /little/ too big

Yeah I agree with steve on this. Especially with the online list, as that could take over the footer when the forums are active.

I realise that the Who Is Online list could become huge, and may try to include a 'And n Number of Members' for if it's busy. So it would show the staff over regular members and when there are few people online just regular people.

The font for the titles saying who is online etc. should really change to something less big and something that fits with the theme. It feelt as though you just put that footer there for the sake of it. I personally would have preferred it as like on the old forums, and have it as an individual bar at the bottom.

The reason I did it that way, (hugely slow response) is due to the fact that every forum is the same. Boxes EVERYWHERE. This detracts from using a tabular format for the footer, which can be done correctly and has been done already in other ways. But implementing it here will be difficult. I don't want to go to using a cruddy table for everything :/

Ok here we are...
