Skins Bug

I usually use the glass Skin. looks like somebody has played with the image files and used the new post image as a background one.

tis all screwed up

If the skin is compatible with the new version it may be a lot easier to upload and over write the image files within the skins template rather than manually editing either the .php files of the image names.

lemme know if you get stuck as I've become quite proficient at modifying skins

Re: Skins Big

although i did not get "skins big" topic, i see it is a skins bug :)
glass is in fact 'off'...
styles/Glass/ --if you want to try to fix :)
else i just delete it, and call it bad coding since it did not survive an upgrade...

your choice :)
(return your code to the forum, with a link to get it...)
Don't make me use this!!!

Re: Skins Big

Sorry, I've got a **Filtered** keyboard, should have been "skins Bug"

it seems to be an issue in the .php DB. without access to that there's not much I can do. you'd be better off reinstalling the skin or deleting it all together.

if I may, a suggestion, can you install the "EX" versions of the Acidtech skin they have a wider format and make some of the long winded posts much easier to read. one of the reasons I used the "Glass" skin

here is an example of my modified version of Acidtec EX

Re: Skins Bug

now it works...

not much difference, but it is indeed wider...

the thing helping the most is actually paragraphs, not the act of having wide forum...

for example, which looks best? (source of text:http://uncyclopedia.org/wiki/Chuck_Norris)

this:
This was the sort of life that
Carlos endured for his first ten years.
Living a completely ordinary life, the
neglect of his often-working father led
him to take up martial arts. At once
unnotable at that, he relocated to
some random town in Kansas to "kick
the **Filtered** out of some skeet." A bizarre
goal indeed, his parents sent him for
psychiatric help immediately. This
monetary drain created strain for the
family of five (brothers Weiland and
Aaron had since been born), eventually
leading to the unhappy divorce of
Chuck's parents.


, this:

At once unnotable at that, he relocated to some random town in Kansas to "kick the **Filtered** out of some skeet." A bizarre goal indeed, his parents sent him for psychiatric help immediately. This monetary drain created strain for the family of five (brothers Weiland and Aaron had since been born), eventually leading to the unhappy divorce of Chuck's parents. This change seriously damaged Chuck's psyche. His academic ability severely declined, and never recovered at all. Ever. So, in what can only be described as an unwise decision, his family once again relocated, this time to California. Later in life, he described his ecstasy at this as the "culmination of [his] desire to kick the **Filtered** out of something that wasn't skeet." He also discontinued his weekly psychiatric visits, and threw himself into his martial arts. He continued his education concurrently, and eventually managed to graduate high school (bottom of his class). He cheated on the United States Air Force (USAF) psychological profile and became an Air Policeman in 1958. Predictably, his desire to join the USAF was related to kicking the **Filtered** out of things. Here, he began excelling in martial arts, and eventually earned a black belt in Tang Soo Do (which, contrary to popular belief, does not involve the similarly named orange beverage), and garnered the nickname Chuck for the first time. Obviously, this name stuck, and it is argued that it is what made him famous.

or this:

Re: Skins Bug

The Third obviously, but as some people don't post with a conventional sentence or paragraph structure the second option is still better than the first :D

Re: Skins Bug

no. the third is best. but if it wasn't an option I'd pick the first. It's not so overwhelming as a huge block of text that stretches across the page.

Re: Skins Bug

none of the three examples we showed were the real article, but they all have their pros/cons...

the way the first one could work would be to have 2 columns...
