prateek Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Cool! Literally! It's similar to last year's but I like the skier and the Taun Taun
The Legonater Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 i love this new colour scheme. The banner's nice too. The old one was nice, but this one's even better. I actually like the LEG*snowball*, but maybe I'm the only one
Eurobricks Emperor Bonaparte Posted November 2, 2010 Author Eurobricks Emperor Posted November 2, 2010 Weird. I've got the Halloween banner. I tried ctrl+F5, no change; I logged out - Winter banner! Logged back in, Halloween again. I've manually set your account to use the default skin. You should see it now
Rufus Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 When you are on the Front page, scroll down to the bottom and you will see this >snip snop snoop< This will allow you can change which banner you want, Try selecting 'Winter' like I have Hope that helped Check the magic box on the bottom left, make sure it's set to Winter. The box would only let me select 'IP Board Lo-Fi'. It works now... I've manually set your account to use the default skin. You should see it now Cheers, Boney! I liiiiike it
Scouty Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I'm really liking the Winter banner. I see KimT on a Tauntaun.... At first I thought you were crazy. Winter banner? pffffffffft, it's still OBVIOUSLY the halloween banner. Then I remembered I could switch it I still think your crazy. Crazy. Definitely. Crazy. Not like that happens here on our totally serious board.
Artanis I Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah, I was wondering what everyone was on about, I still had the Halloween banner (and there was no option to change yesterday). I checked out the Winter Legs today and it looks cool (no pun intended, whoops!) but we're heading into summer so it's weird for me & I've changed it. Question: what setting do I use for the main banner to be "whatever the latest one is" and all the sub forums to be the unique skin for that sub forum?

It's weird though, because it didn't change by itself, which it normally does.
Brickdoctor Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) At first I thought you were crazy. Winter banner? pffffffffft, it's still OBVIOUSLY the halloween banner. Why would I be crazy? This board must have the most board glitches of any other LEGO fansite this side of Timbuktu. EDIT: Hmm, KimT's carrot is now a lightsaber.... Edited November 3, 2010 by Brickdoctor
Shadows Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Yeah, I was wondering what everyone was on about, I still had the Halloween banner (and there was no option to change yesterday). I checked out the Winter Legs today and it looks cool (no pun intended, whoops!) but we're heading into summer so it's weird for me & I've changed it. Did you switch to Summer? It's nice having a choice, isn't it? Question: what setting do I use for the main banner to be "whatever the latest one is" and all the sub forums to be the unique skin for that sub forum? The subforums are set individually and can't be changed. The only ones you can control are places like Community that use the default skin and they all change at the same time, not individually. To change to the latest default skin... um... I have no idea.
Hinckley Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Why would I be crazy? This board must have the most board glitches of any other LEGO fansite this side of Timbuktu. EDIT: Hmm, KimT's carrot is now a lightsaber.... Sorry about the glitches. We are still responding to changes in the new board software. There are a lot of changes and some things that Invision didn't exactly perfect before releasing it. I assure you that Siegfried is spending way too much of his own time to create the best board possible for us and fix these glitches, no doubt pulling him away from his family and getting him in trouble with the Walrus Keeper. Lightsaber? You're seeing things. It's a carrot. Must be another board glitch...
Artanis I Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Did you switch to Summer? It's nice having a choice, isn't it? Haha yep, how predictable... I don't mind not having a choice, but since it's there why not take advantage of the option? The subforums are set individually and can't be changed. The only ones you can control are places like Community that use the default skin and they all change at the same time, not individually. To change to the latest default skin... um... I have no idea. Good, I like it that way... maybe it was a different case temporarily during the board upgrade or something. I just seem to remember at one point them all being the same while I was trying to set preferences. (Or I could just be completely MAD MAD MAD!)Um, curiously I'm seeing the winter skin again. Also curious to see an armed Darth Santa on a tauntaun. Hinckley, I think it needs a red nose.
Shadows Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Haha yep, how predictable... I don't mind not having a choice, but since it's there why not take advantage of the option? Exactly, and it allows us to provide everyone with an appropriate season, no matter where they are in the world. (Or I could just be completely MAD MAD MAD!) Yep. Um, curiously I'm seeing the winter skin again. Also curious to see an armed Darth Santa on a tauntaun. Hinckley, I think it needs a red nose. I did that. Just to make sure that no one was on the wrong skin, I forced everyone back to Winter. There were only 16 of you (well, 15 of you and one of me, lol). If you change it now, it should stay. As for the rest of that, we don't have any idea what you're talking about. Armed Darth Santa?
DarthSion Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Sure, you tell them how to do that for each browser out there. I'll just tell them to hard refresh. Simple you google privacy eraser and buy it. I see we got the theme choice back, but lost animated gif sigs.
Hinckley Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I see we got the theme choice back, but lost animated gif sigs. You never had them. From our site guidelines, available in the upper right hand corner of every forum, whenever you'd like to refresh yourself. ...Images: Don't post images that are over 800x600 or are LEGO confidential. Images rarely need to be over 640x480, and any that are over 1MB (including GIFs) are not allowed unless there is admin approval. BMPs are never allowed. Avatar images should be 100x100 (and under 20k if hosted on EB), and may not be more than 400x400 (and 100k, even if hosted remotely). No animated GIFs are to be used as avatars and please limit the use of them in signatures as well... The entire plot of the movie Star Wars is not limited, in my opinion.
Brickdoctor Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Lightsaber? You're seeing things. It's a carrot. Must be another board glitch... Whadayamean? I see nothing but a turkey leg. Out of curiosity, since you manually set Rufus' theme, are you able to set one person to a 'glitchy' skin and everyone else to a normal skin, and drive everyone truly nuts?

And yet it has been there for like a year and seen but at least half a dozen staff.
Siegfried Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 And yet it has been there for like a year and seen but at least half a dozen staff. Exactly. To be honest I was about to ask you about that myself. Sure it's cool and all, but it's been there for like a year, everyones seen it, you've seen it, so why have a pointless bandwidth hog in your signature?
Hinckley Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 And yet it has been there for like a year and seen but at least half a dozen staff. Gone now, isn't it?

Sure it's cool and all, but it's been there for like a year, everyones seen it, you've seen it, so why have a pointless bandwidth hog in your signature? I thought it was obvious by my comments in this thread, I don't have a monthly need to change my theme, avatar, Sig. If it isn't broke don't fix it. Seriously this must be a female sever, can't make up its mind how it wants to look. Edited November 3, 2010 by DarthSion
Nikola Bathory Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 (edited) Weird. I've got the Halloween banner. I tried ctrl+F5, no change; I logged out - Winter banner! Logged back in, Halloween again. All is see now is the Winter banner. So, no problems with that. EDIT: Hm, wierd, I see the Halloween one too from time to time, when I'm in the forums index page.

DarthSion Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 Because it was the Sig I wanted, and on never mind, no point arguing with staff.
Rufus Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I have one criticism of the new skin (a very minor one ) - on the profile page, it's really hard to read alternate comments which are dark grey on bark blue.
The Yellow Brick Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I have one criticism of the new skin (a very minor one ) - on the profile page, it's really hard to read alternate comments which are dark grey on bark blue. I noticed that too, It also happened on the old Winter skin.
Eskallon Posted November 3, 2010 Posted November 3, 2010 I have one criticism of the new skin (a very minor one ) - on the profile page, it's really hard to read alternate comments which are dark grey on bark blue. Damn, you I was about to say that.
