BoB's Simplified style

[Dr Unne]

It should be colored to match EoFF classic. It would not affect bandwidth or "simplicity", it can be done entirely in CSS. If it was EoFF classic colors it could very well be the greatest thing ever invented. Note: I'm not volunteering to do this myself.

[Big D]

I think a major reason for the current Simplified colours was that they vaguely resemble MS Word, or other stuff you can get away with using at work. Basically, it's designed so it won't stand out and give away the fact that you're bumming around on the internet while your company pays you.

[Dr Unne]

No reason we couldn't have an additional EoFF Classic Simple style or something though, right?

[Shlup]

Unne makes a good point. Just clone BooB's style and then tweak the colors. Thanks for volunteering, Unne.

[Big D]

So one could simply copy/paste the current code, but change the thingy that sets the colours? Sounds simple enough; if I knew anything about programming, I'd probably give it a go.

[Loony BoB]

Yes, it's a very simple task. I just don't like having so many styles for stuff like this. We've already had requests for a blue version of EoFF 2005. I also don't like having so many styles in general, as it's a right pain to maintain... however, I'm willing to remove Fluffy Puff, which looks horrendous because I never could be arsed prettifying it for vB3.5, in exchange for the Simplified Style in EoFF blues.

I just don't want to start taking requests on styles. I like having only five styles - you'd think everyone could find one that is good enough for them out of those five. Although I still think the vB2 postbit location one is a waste, as witih Fluffy Puff. But I guess there are people out there that like them, so yeah. FP is definitely not maintained, though, and if people don't care, I'll be more than happy to take it away and throw up the one requested in this thread.

[RSL]

I have a feeling that ShlupQuack would kill you if you got rid of the pink one.

[Loony BoB]

I think Unne and Shlup will need to settle this with a knife fight.

[Madonna]

I do not think that you should touch Fluffy Puff. Re-admin Shlup to update it for vB3.5! :|

[eestlinc]

Although I still think the vB2 postbit location one is a waste, as witih Fluffy Puff. But I guess there are people out there that like them, so yeah.
you mean vb2 PM location? because side postbit is so superior to top postbit that it's not even funny.

[Primus Inter Pares]

I don't think any skins should be removed, especially Fluffy Puff considering how it is the easiest on the eyes of any of the skins, however it should be upgraded, also so that you can see what PM's you have replied to not just read as I can't notice a difference, I do prefer side postbit, however both work fine, I find Classic to be harder on the eyes however.

Also signature sizes may wary between the Classic(and FP) and 2005 because of certain lines of text will go to the second line in 2005 where as they will stay on the first line in Classic, and if you're close to the limit that could take it over the limit.

[Destai]

I thought the point of it being in that colour is that it was boring and almost colourless.

[Loony BoB]

Oh, sorry, I mean PMbit, yeah. But I disagree with you anyway. :)

[escobert]

We wants eds techno color nightmare back plz thx. Oh and EoFF vB2 PM bit location > all

[rubah]

I cannot approve of getting rid of fluffy puff, unless we go back to using the banner on the classic blue style:]

[crono_logical]

I'm growing fond of Fluffy Puff even though I don't use it :p

And I thought the colours of the Simplified one were as so because BoB was lazy and left it at the default vB colours - he just went and chopped all the images out :D

[-N-]

I wanted to use BoB's Simplified Style for his results page on the Questionnaire, but he threatened to saw through my kneecaps with a razor. ;_;

[Yamaneko]

I browse at work with the Classic style. :)

[Samuraid]

Classic ftw :D

[Quina]

You guys should make a green and red one like a watermelon.

[Loony BoB]

Nope - Big D got it right for the colouring reasons.

[crono_logical]

The smilies need to be disabled in this style too then :p

[Loony BoB]

I don't know if that's possible, but if it is, then I'm all for it.

[Raistlin]

I agree as long as Unne is adminned in order to do this himself.

[Endless]

Oh, sorry, I mean PMbit, yeah. But I disagree with you anyway. :)

PM bit with a colored chocobo at the top of the page where it can be very easily seen whenever one checks the index > any other location/style. It was needed mostly after some vB upgrade where they had decided the default location was at the very bottom of the page. Now that the default is at the top, I could live with it, if you add the chocobo indicator.

[Loony BoB]

The PM alert popup renderred it redundant long ago.

[Endless]

Popups are satanic. Why do you think I use FF and its integrated popup blocker? Because I hate popups.

[Loony BoB]

Popups are okay if they're not advertisements or anything. I get popups for PMs, but I don't get popups for ads. I find them useful. It's not the end of the world to be alerted that someone has sent you a message. I'd say it's helpful! :)

[Samuraid]

I'd say it's helpful! :)

Yeah, otherwise there's that little bold number sitting at the top of the page that's pretty easy to overlook when one is busy reading posts.

[eestlinc]

we should get a popup every time someone gives us a new usernote. it should also be impossible to disable this popup.

[Loony BoB]

...Samuraid, go to omgmyhat and try to do that. I will pay you.

[Samuraid]

A usernote popup?

[Loony BoB]

Yes.

...I don't have any money to pay you with, mind you...

[eestlinc]

I get the intellectual property rights.

[Samuraid]

I'll add it to the list of cool things to do when more free time comes available. :)

[Loony BoB]

Really? No, it's fine. (PS: do it. ...nah, just kidding. [do it])

[rubah]

([only do it if it doesn't make you lose the page you were viewing if you decide to view it! I hate that!])

[eestlinc]

back button!

[Madonna]

◄User Notes►◄Do you have it?►

[rubah]

Back button don't work eesty:O It'll skip over the page you were viewing and take you back to the place you were before!

[Miriel]

It's green then red! Get it right, man.

[Quina]

Like a watermelon!

[-N-]

EoFF 2006: Year of the Watermelon. Limited Edition Theme.

I can see the headline success now. $_$

[Quina]

Do I get a cut of the profits?

[Del Murder]

You'd probably eat the profits.

[escobert]

SO uhh when's eds techno comming back? ^_^

[eestlinc]

Back button don't work eesty:O It'll skip over the page you were viewing and take you back to the place you were before!

Man that sucks. Do you use Firefox? I never have that problem with IE. Maybe you should use IE.

[eestlinc]

it doesn't happen to me either. I think you just need to let the page finish loading before you click the popup.

[Madonna]

It's green then red! Get it right, man.I'll let Lulu know that he fails.

[Karl]

usernote popup would b awsome, and this thread is so confusing cuz i know nothing of computer "code" and w/e the hell u site makin guys b talkin about

[Primus Inter Pares]

Hmmm, usernote popups would be useful but might eventually get annoying, so as long as members have the option to turn it on and off :D

that's a feature, not a bug.

[Yamaneko]

These are speed holes. They make the car go faster.

I'm not about to disgrace EoFF by using IE on it.

I never notice if the pages are rendered totally or not, but I would think that after 1000 PMs at least one of them would have been.
