The boxes around the names are gone. This makes it difficult to read normal users' names in Chrome, or whatever it's called now. I am having issues.

What happened?

I was going to make a topic to stop people making useless topics, but you could have posted in the WEB DEVS thread. (Oh wait, am I thinking that some people will take the smart option? Oh my...)

It's a fix in the code to remove the fug. The reason you're having issues is the name colours, if you make them readable in one skin, they can't be read in another, all will be fixed soon.

For now, enjoy the flexible width.

Can't you keep it as borderless?

I don't use chrome just because of that.

It's uglier /with/ the borders, when this skin is finally fixed I'm sure a resolution will be made so that it looks better without the borders.

This skin was planned to be the default at one stage, so when it's finished, the user group colours will surely change to appear in the skin much better.

*off to do research on suitable colours for both skins.

#B00B13 and #407CD7 both work well on all 3 skins. That's all I got.

Related to this, the Board Index 'Community' header is now unaligned with the subforums list.

EDIT: The Online Users list also overlaps the Metanet logo at the bottom. Is there a different official thread where I can say this stuff?

Just mention it in the Web Devs thread in Projects. Also the Community header, I don't know what you mean by that.

Also, the footer is completely borked so it's gonna be a case of living with it for now.

It'd be great if you managed to find some more suitable colours, then we're sussed on that! Maybe a dark green like #008000?

I'm surprised that B00B13s have that much compatibility.

Well, in any case, the problem with this skin is that it's rife with concrete width declarations (950px, 912px, etc), which are embedded in the template files rather than in the stylesheet. LV ran a search yesterday and it looks like there are about 412 of that type of declaration. The upshot of it all is that tables like the footer (which we haven't fixed yet) will remain 950px wide and therefore float to the center of the skin no matter how wide it is. It's solvable, of course, but I'd personally rather just use Retronet, as soon as I finish coding it.

Yeah, we'll see what occurs first, the fixing of this skin to a usable level, or Retronet being finished.

Also, #ffa800 seems a good one too.

Check this out, obviously the icon in the footer isn't the same (I couldn't find it) But here's an example.

I can't decide between #407CD7 and #008000.
Though, #008000 fits much better.

You do realise we need more than one colour for names, because we have Admins, Global Mods, Mods, Regular Users, and then the custom user groups.

God this is turning into more of a pain in the arse than I expected.

I point was #008000 is a color that could fit to any usergroup, best color pointed out here, imo.

Though, Registered Users, Mods, global mods and admins.

I think that's better, the black names don't work on the dark skins.

Are you talking about the bottom of the index page or topic overview? Because black seems to fit the skin so well on the index page where it shows last post made to that forum.

I'm talking about making the colours visible through all three skins.

Also black if it was a member colour it would be better for Regular Members.

Yes.

Also I should point out that I could barely see black on m9 so it wasn't a good choice.What do you think about this?

That's what he just. said.

It's already used for links and whatnot in m9orange. Or a very similar colour, anyway.

Well, we can just keep the current Global Mod colour, right?

I guess. Link colour on m9orange is #ffa800, and global mod colour is a bit duller than that, I guess they will let it stay as it is, at least I think it should stay.
#FF0000 for admin colour on Retronet?

We can't (as far as I am aware) have the user name colours change through skins, but what is it with the obsession with #FF0000 among the newer members?

Still, a darker variation like #B00B13 would work.

I approve of this post, regardless of the fact that it's a pleasing color anyway and is highly compatible.

Just make chrome the default skin and dump the others. Then you don't have to worry about making the colours match more than one skin.

I prefer Hermes, though. :/
