Website updates

by **Echelon** » 04 Dec 2008, 18:08

I added a new flash to the top section.
It has a bit of winter/christmas feel to it - with the snow and ice on the weapon barrel.

You might have to hit F5 twise, or clear cache before entering the site if you cant see the changes.

EDIT: I am also testing a new background image with knives. If we somehow decide that we like the old one better, i'll change it back or try something else.

That's real nice Ech, wasn't appearing for me at first but ctrl + F5 worked for me

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 04 Dec 2008, 18:36

does GTFO have a town???

anyways looks nice, what did you use to make it

by **Echelon** » 04 Dec 2008, 19:56

I used Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Flash. the frost and ice on the weapon i drew manually myself, onto the weapon, using photoshop. The snow and the smoke is all vector objects and activescript.

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 04 Dec 2008, 22:14

cool good work, also the knives change position from the home page to the forum, is that meant to happen

by **Echelon** » 04 Dec 2008, 23:47

No. It was just a css error. fixed.

by **GTFO. ObscuredByCows** » 06 Dec 2008, 13:48

Since you fixed that Echelon the news page is coming up like this. The forum pages are fine still.

Edit: Is on all pages except the main forum pages. Clearing cache makes no difference.

It was something else that caused this, and it was, as usual, an IE bug. Fixed.

It's OBC's fault for using IE

SLANDER!!!

Microsoft products don't contain bugs. They contain alternative functionality.

Added a New Year 2009 flash at the top of the site.
You might need to hit F5 a couple of times or clear cache to see it.

by **GTFO. G** » 31 Dec 2008, 20:21

Nice ech, i like it.

I've made changes to the bans page while updating the backend software.

by **GTFO. ObscuredByCows** » 31 Dec 2008, 21:18

Nice one Ech looks really good

by **Paradigm** » 01 Jan 2009, 13:20

Great 2009 flash image.

by **Echelon** » 19 Jan 2009, 18:08

G, the forum is much quicker after you moved it. Nice work!

by **GTFO. G** » 31 Jan 2009, 19:36

New hlstatsx running, hlstatsx running on l4d and CSS

No0o0ooo0o0!!!

I've increaed the 'main' content part of the website and forums to accomodate hlstatsx, so everything looks more integrated. Check out the stats pages - I know some parts are a bit cramped, will work on that, but otherwise I think it looks better and doesn't look like the stats is a different website.

Also increased the width of the youtube embeds, now that the forum is wider

by **Malteserr** » 04 Apr 2009, 12:39

Hey G, i like it but I noticed that HLstats isn't reporting the player limit correctly. (i.e. 20/0)
And the white "background" doesn't continue to the bottom of the page, so you get this:

by **GTFO. G** » 04 Apr 2009, 12:58

^^
control + F5

by **GTFO. ObscuredByCows** » 04 Apr 2009, 15:54

The stats search doesn't appear to work properly, it only allows you to search css by the looks of it

by **GTFO. G** » 04 Apr 2009, 16:53

That's unrelated to the changes I made, but I'll fix it...

Edit: fixed

by **Sepp** » 05 Apr 2009, 07:36

Jut noticed...DoDS #07 should be corrected to TF2 #12 on the frontpage server section.

by **GTFO. G** » 05 Apr 2009, 11:08

Again, nothing to do with the website being made wider/hlstats integration, but I'll change that.

by **Malteserr** » 05 Apr 2009, 11:22

Anyway G, I've had this question on my mind for a while:

Is there a way you could make the forum automatically widen a little just on threads where a big image is posted? It's pretty annoying when an image just slightly bigger than the forum width gets cut and you end up having to use the scrollbar at the bottom. (For example here - the scrollbar is so far down that you have to scroll for a while just to see the other half of the first pic etc :lol:

)

by **GTFO. G** » 05 Apr 2009, 11:24

Err, I dont think so Malteserr, but if you attach an image to your post instead of hotlinking, it will get thumbnailed (much nicer)

by **r3loaded** » 05 Apr 2009, 14:28

Flexible width of the forum would be nice, as I have a 1680x1050 screen, and the actual content only takes up the centre of my screen, wasting the rest of the massive screen area. I'm sure other people have even higher-res screens here who would benefit from a flexible width-based layout.

Yeah.

1920x1200 here, and I really wouldn't mind the forum taking up more space lol

by **GTFO. al** » 05 Apr 2009, 18:45

flexible widths can become troublesome which is why you see a lot of websites all over the internet go for a fixed+centred approach.

by **GTFO. Sinister** » 05 Apr 2009, 20:41

I've looked at the site on a 4:3 and a 16:9 monitor and I think its fine as it is.

BTW al, love the Techno Viking mate :mrgreen:

Just noticed this:

by **GTFO. Jamie** » 02 May 2009, 13:27

has something happened to the website?

the text all looks smaller and its slow when scrolling down the page.

by **GTFO. Luckyg** » 02 May 2009, 18:45

nothing has happened here... text looks the same and scrolling is still the same speed, maybe hold ctrl + scroll up or down to make the text bigger?

by **Echelon** » 03 May 2009, 12:07

Ctrl+0 to reset zooming in firefox. Not sure if it's the same in IE.
