THE NEW LOBOLAIR.COM

[Mark]

So after the new update ruined all of our past graphics and templates we had to start new. This is what we have so far.

Thanks hack
PayPal Donation Hack
Post Reply Hack
Chat Box
Blog New Posts on Forum Home
Updated Color Scheme
New "Award Icons" for postbit
New Header (thanks Strato)
and about 10 others that nobody cares about that make my life easier.

Thanks to La Grange for helping out in all of this mess. Not his fault but hes helping out.
This is what everything is going to look like for a little while. I think its cozy but not great. It will work for the time being. I still plan on getting someone professional to go through it and make us a custom site again.

So, try and give it a chance. I'm probably the biggest critic of it, trust me.
Thanks again guy for living with this mess at the worst time (game time) and not complaining too much. If you have any suggestions please let us know!

Thanks RPS!! It looks good!! I miss my "groan" button. LOL JK
Also the laughing smiley face doesn't work.:Afun)

[Dominic]

I also like the "New Post" sidebar.

[Roob]

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but the page is bottomless. you go to the final post, but the page doesn't end, it just keeps going (lots of blank space). Hope that makes sense.

[Stratosphere]

It's definitely taken a step in the right direction RPS. Again, nice job! As an MIS graduate from UNM, I have taken some web development courses and have worked on a couple projects. If you are looking to do a complete site redesign from the ground up in the future I would be glad to help! Obviously I am not a professional (yet) and would probably not be best suited to undertake the project alone, but if we had a team working on it I think I could be of some use. The only issue could be that the current site seems to be scripted in PHP whereas my expertise is in .NET and C#. I have also dealt with database creation and management. Anyway just a lobolair faithful looking to help out any way he can and do something he enjoys at the same time!

Thanks RPS for making this a great site (one of the best message boards I have ever seen) and thanks to the moderators for their time too!!! I will donate $$$$ as soon as I can figure how how to do it. Looks like there is a PayPal option in menu at top.

[Unknown_Hero]

Is the Home page going to updated as well?
Also, please get rid of all the clutter on the forum front page

You can close that pop out block. Many have complimented it, your the first to not like it.

Also installed and bran new hack. Its called "Check If Already Posted".

Info:
Easily check if the same or similar thread already exist when you are going to create new one.

So, I ask everyone who is posting a new thread to use the title of the article in the new thread. This is eliminate the same threads being posted over and over.
If/when you start a new thread you will easily see how to use it.

I think the site looks pretty damn cool man. Well done. I haven't been around in about a week did you just install it?

[Burro lobo]

New header is outstanding (old one was way too busy).

Last night I tried the Thread Tools -> Mark All Read, and it didn't work. I frequently use that feature to declare 'LoboLair Bankruptcy' (meaning there are *way* too many threads to go back and review, so I mark them all as read and go forward).

[Gonzlobo]

Mark All Threads works fine at the top layer but doesn't work on the 'Alford Era' (I haven't tried it other other subforums).

[Burro lobo]

Only thing missing seems to be the Groan button!!!

GROAN!!!


Like that all the extra empty white paper is gone, awesome job RPS!!

The groan wasn't for you RPS it was just a request for a chance to show that last sign of protest for poor taste!

[wolf1960]

Great Job the new Lair format is just in time for the NEW Pit era... Go Lobos !

[Mark]

Added, Arcade.
Added, Member Tags.

Fixed unnecessary white space in posts.

[colt6bt]

I too think the new site is spectacular! Is anyone else having issues with the What's new button? It was working earlier. Other than that RPS, I like what you've done with the place.

[Dominic]

Looks real nice!! Thanks RPS

Fixed unnecessary white space in posts.

The new look is starting to grow on me. However these are my observations as of today, Sunday afternoon, February 21, 2010. Some of these may be firewall issues on my side even though I've added the Lair to my list of trusted sites.

• I still see the unnecessary white space in my posts.
• If I don't have any keyboard activity for about 10 minutes, I got timed/out locked out and I have to log in again. This also happened on the previous format sometimes as I was typing a lengthy post.
• The smiley emoticons are not displaying properly on my screen.
• When I click reply or reply to quote, I have to double click to get in the response.
• Also, I get a quote from the post directly preceding mine even if I click respond (without quote).
• Text shows as centered. Is it supposed to do this?

All in all, keep up the great work. I love this site.

[Mark]

Try clearing your cookies and maybe things will be fixed. Lots of things done today...

[loboray]

Is it just my imagination or is the new format quite a bit faster than the old one. Sure seems a lot quicker on my desk top. Was that part of the reason for making the change?

[Mark]

LOL
The change was by accident, This wasnt on purpose.

[UNMfan]

why are all the posts center jusified?

[Dominic]

I like those red icons on the front page.

[badger77]

why are all the posts center jusified?

Yeah.

RPS, Is there some setting that I missed???

[Digital Lobo]

I deleted both cookies and files and I'm still having the same issues. In the post above where I listed the issues I was having, I see a great big honking white space between the quote and the top border of the post.

What browser are you using?

[Digital Lobo]

What browser are you using?

That's probably the problem. It's an old version of Internet Explorer for Windows 95.
