site update. working on ranks today
 

Just wanted to let everyone know, I'm working on the old ranks. I have to take off right now but will finish this later this afternoon.

Added some more and changed the number of post = rank.

so don't be surprised if you are only private 1st class.lol.

great job rudedog

another step towards awesomeness.

Is there a reason why my icon won't show up? I've tried uploading it to the site and also tried hotlinking it from imageshack. It's 50x50 pixels so it's not like it's over the size limit.

Checking now, these little things will be the death of me.

coleman, can you post your avatar in a thread so I can take a look at it.

what format is it in?

thanks

OK, I think what happened, was you uploaded it to your profile picture not your avatar picture.

I hope that is the right one, if not let me know.

oo yeah, thanks a bunch. It's Joedolph.

hey be nice to Joe, I know he pissed a lot of you guys off but he was a good friend of mine.

BTW here is the new list of ranks:

Basic Training 0
Private 50
Private 1st class 100
Specialist 250
Corporal 500
Sergeant 1000
Staff Sergeant 1500
Sergeant 1st Class 1600
Master Sergeant 1700

I based these off the current post leaders based on sorting by post count and looking at the first page.

yay! We now have something to strive to achieve. Hopefully I will never become a LT. Gen. on these forums.

niceeeeeeeeeeeee

w00tah!


We need a new skin this white hurts my eyes

I spy a new target for some ppl on this forum?
Plus why do ppl like Blitz show up as "senior member"?

it only shows up on posts after rude changed it Scorp.

That's next on my list now that we have everything else working. I wanted to make sure all the little stuff was working before tackling the theme. I was trying to find something already built to match aa.com as much as possible but it looks like I will be custom building the theme myself and giving you guys a chance to find bugs LOL.

good to hear, i'm tired of this theme lol

Hey, i'm a fuckin' Captain now.

hmm, a new challenge has emerged... Lt. Gen Blitz

The only thing you're General to is spam. gg blitz

Hey guys, if you like you can see my progress on working on the aa.com theme.

You should be able to see the green_brown theme you can select in the lower bottom LEFT hand side.

Please note, this is a very early work in progress, but I wanted to give you guys a first hand look. I still have a lot of work to do.

Remember that you may not be able to see certain text as the color(s) are incorrect, not to mention the icons.

ooo, it has an AA.com feel to it

hey rude if you want me to edit some of the gradient images on the title bg to the colour needed then just shout out

I think the green needs to be a little darker. Awesome job so far man.

The would be a big help, as the dark brown(s) and blacks should be final. I will send you a zip or post here. I have (to find) some brown icons that need to be cleaned up as far as the background color(s). I will post them here

yeah, I totally agree, for some reason my mac (laptop) does not like when I try and match color(s) to the old board.

We're getting there guys

Once I get the blue icons changed over you can save as from the board. I just need to find my other set of brown icons.

I will post back when I get them uploaded to the site.

don't go too crazy, I need to find a button/icon/images that has clear backgrounds or transparent backgrounds.

tomorrow I will do some searching. I hear there is some type of vBulltin SDK and might contain these.

OK I need to take a break, how does that green look?

Once I get the main colors, we can work on all the damn icons

be back in the morning guys

how is coleman only a private first class with 13,000 posts?

it says major general on my end. odd.

oh it's correct for me now also. swear you were private first class 10 minutes ago.

The green looks good now. I think it can go a little darker. Macs do usually have trouble color matching unless you calibrate the screen.

The Dark blue colors when you click a link are to dark, you cant read the words.

bump

Do you mean the hover over text color? Which is black (temp color)

wow this looks much different then my MBP. Will finish it on my desktop. Had to watch the pats game yesterday, so everyone is lucky the color was not dark blue and white :D.

He means visited links...

ah, got it, thanks note taken,

Guys, I was hoping to jump on a few things today but as faith would have it, I need to run up to Orlando for an emergency event for work (damn sales guys not showing up)

I will be back later tonight, please keep the screen shots and bugs like posted above coming.

It makes it so much easier to fix and find then.

Thanks again Mr. B!

Thanks buttocks. Thats what i was talking about.

guess im in a league of my own

20,000 posts, 19,999 not read by anyone.

OK, fixed the visited link color (for now). I just got back and will pick this up in the morning, unless I'm called out again (these where suppose to be my comp days off LOL)

I found the vbulletin gdk (graphics dev kit) so I will be looking at the icon sets. Once those are done, I can move on to the text editor box and other drop down menus.
