CSS can be such a bitch :D

Multiple stylesheets for various browser differences etc. *mutter* Wish M$ could would stop inventing new whimsical "standards". Embrace, Extend, Destroy. *mutter*

Erh... sorry... not enough coffee clearly.

I could always have a tinker with the css file tonight and send you a copy if you want. Probably shouldn't do it now ;) Unless someone gets me a new job and I can quit this one :lol:

Ben i didnt want to clutter upp your sticky but in the avatar sticky you have just done. once i resized the image it says to many KB (15kb to be exact) and we are only allowed 10. so how do we reduce size of file?

All sweet i think but i did have to resize the image to 133x100, when i tried to do it 140x100 the image would come out 140x105. Not sure if tis prob at my end or not dont really care just thought id let you know in case a whole of ppl start going "i cant resize my image :cry: :cry: :cry:

That's due to the aspect ratio of the image... just have to ensure that neither go over like you did. One may have to be smaller then the maximum, all depends on what kind of dimensions your original image had.

ie. if it was a square, no amount of resizing it will make it 140x100 as that'd be rectangular. As such you need to make it slightly smaller, stretch it to fit (or shrink one dimension more then another) or crop it... (:

Hey ben... like the theme... except one thing...

When typing a response, etc... You cant see the text... dark blue text on black background = lots of squinting

If you need good deal on photography, let me know.

i 2nd that

and whats with the first two lines having a light grey bg and the rest this black-ish colour.
and i'm just nit picking now but on the "topic review" part, the yellow on black is good, but the "author" and "message" titles are yellow on light grey, which is probably not the best colour scheme,

may i suggest:
since the new post page basically has only 2 bg colours and 2 font colours. make it so yellow font is always on black bg, and blue is always on the light grey bg.

*edit: had to fix up typos cos i couldnt see them on this page lol

Yes, its on the list of things to fix. The posting screen is a pain. Im not good with graphical things like that so Boarsai is gonna have a look at when he has time.

In theory this should fix the text box fun.

Overwrite (with the image attached below): "http://www.ftoaustralia.com/themes/SVis ... s/cell.jpg"

Image

Haven't downloaded src yet or even really looked at it for longer then 30 seconds... but I imagine it shouldn't be too difficult to fix most issues.

Additionally download <a href="http://www.organ-donor.org/rand/style.css"><b><u>this css</u></b></a> and overwrite this: "http://www.ftoaustralia.com/themes/SVis ... /style.css"

Disclaimer: Always make backups in case I dodged something up ;)

Edit: As for the topic review CSS... it doesn't really seem to have much if any... it's a very light CSS file that I've seen. I should/could probably download it all and have a look before adding CSS into the file above :D

Edit: Edit: Nice just noticed the Random Gallery pic section on the front page. Good work (when it works) was going to suggest that! Altho I thought having it between the Main menu on the left and the information box would be the place to slot it in... as I rarely if ever go to the front page. That may just be me though (:

Edit: Edit: Edit: will look at links and any other issues someone brings up... so keep posting things you dislike or find error with and if ben approves, shall be fixed/changed. When I find time (:

Nicely done :) Thats fixed the post box. Any chance we can change the post box font type & size? To match the font we see when reading a post?


And yeah, anything else guys, just let us know.

Daaaaaaaaamn that black content looks ... wonderful.

I've been roped into doing extra work tonight for work... and driving up the coast tommorow to do more up there... so they'll have to wait till tommorow night.

Shouldn't be too hard to fix, will download the zip tommorow night and fix most if not all of these annoying things.


Actually it all depends on how long tommorows shift lasts. Working From 9am till 2-4am the following day is not unheard of. *sigh*

Soooo any graphic/design/web/print jobs going anywhere in bris? ;)

Edit: Yes, font size/face can and will be fixed... after I've looked over it a bit as soon as I can (:

No hurry mate, appreciate everything you've done so far :) We're certainly at a useable (well... most of it) level at the moment.

Yeah for some reason I cant get any images to display on the front page :scratch: Its bound to be a setting somewhere as its only happened since the new nuke files went up.

Will move the gallery random pic too. I keep forgetting you guys only have a few info boxes comapred to what I see :P

Looking good!

You might consider removing the text "Random Image" from gallery box... as it's really already stated on the Blue Title area :D

Very funky though.

Will no doubt drive more people into the gallery.

Still working on damned catalogues... this weeks going to suck. :lol:
