Acriku Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 I think the people who handle the server fixed it ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 I finally was online when the server admin was. :)Now I have the ability to fix the problem if it comes up again so it should be a lot less of a downtime if it does happen again.

Gobalopper Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 Since people can't seem to remember to close their colour tags you now have to close them or they don't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Yes, as it does screw up people's colors if they quote someone's message that has no end tag.Ach no! NOooooooooo! My beautiful signature is ruined! Not enough chars to put end tags, blast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 26, 2002 Author Share Posted October 26, 2002 I think it might auto close the color tags now but past messages that were made without close tags will not show the color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acriku Posted October 26, 2002 Share Posted October 26, 2002 Ok phew, had a few chars left and made it (had to sacrifice the period but oh well :)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Navaros Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 ok i just clicked on the "new style" Ad and now most of my text is blue and everything else is darker. i no likey. the text said: "check out the new styles" meaning it was supposed to just *show* me what it would look like, not actually permanently change it. i want the default colors back, how do i do that?PS: i think you should remove that "new styles" Ad until you make it more clear that you will be changing the text of people's accts.

Acriku Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Reload cookies I would imagine? Or if this doesn't work, and the preference is saved into your account, click Default style to change it back to the gold stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gobalopper Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 There is a link there with the text Normal Colours which surprisingly enough changes things back to the default settings. Rocket science is hard but I hope reading isn't. ::) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Gob the confusion lies in the fact that the window was closed after the text changed, and I had no idea where the actual thread was located therefore I wasn't able to change it back until the Ad appeared again. In addition, the "old Fed2k colours" and "default colors" is confusing. It doesn't make it clear what "old" means - old as in 10 yrs ago old, or old as in *my* old colors which just got changed?

Acriku Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Nav it's on the main site, as if you go there at all ::) Scroll down on the right...And also, you would know what Old Fed2k colors meant if you were here for a long while, during the hippy colors :P And it doesn't take but a few clicks to find out what they mean.

Gobalopper Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 So your back button broke in the process of applying the change? And as Acriku said there is a pull down menu on the main page of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navaros Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 See what happened was, I thought that as soon as I pushed "Refresh" or did any action that the Blue text and dark colors would turn back to how they were since it said it was just gonna "show" me what it looks like. So I closed the window once my text turned blue. And then finding it again was hard because I didn't know how to get there.I don't think most of us Forumers ever read the main site LOL maybe I should though. Of course I'd bookmark the main site too if only you'd find out how to get those very useful Brown Bookmark Icons working again. I really really really miss those things. Finding this site takes me a long time without them (esp since IE is automatically re-alphabetizing all my bookmarks instead of adding them chronologically... come to think of it I'm gonna start a thread about that in Tech Support very soon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Guerrilla Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 So if you use colors in your post you have to use end tags? I only ask this because I was reading current posts some had color tags but there is no color in the post just the number for the color.

Gobalopper Posted October 28, 2002 Author Share Posted October 28, 2002 Yes it should end them if you don't now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord J Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Hey, I'm playing around with the themes now, I *really* like the Harkonnen theme ;) Only one thing though: Wouldn't it be cool to have themed smilies, as well as everything else?

DjCiD Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I mentioned that somewhere to Gob.On our *FEW* site you can pick between the regular (yellow) smilies, robot smilies, man or woman smilies. Its something you chose in your 'my profile' thingy. And all the codes are the same they just do what ever theme you chose ;D kinda cool.Heres a link for ya to go and see ;DFedaykin Elite Warriors - FEW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nyarlathotep Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 I think it might auto close the color tags now but past messages that were made without close tags will not show the color.*grmpf*, I dunno what changed, but my sig always worked. Now I have to redo it and with less colors (to few characters left). What exactly changed ? :- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timenn Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Yes it should end them if you don't now.Hehe, I always used those endtags :)Nyar, maybe Gob wants to lengthen the character limit... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyarlathotep Posted October 28, 2002 Share Posted October 28, 2002 Maybe, but I still don't understand what changed. It did work before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
