site update. working on ranks today - Page 3

rudedog · 10-15-2007, 06:02 PM

I know I thought I was getting off the computer but I found the site I was looking for to generate a color pallet from a photo. This way I can get a base of colors I wanted to use ie the new digital camo.

If anyone else is looking to generate a color pallet from a photo, here is the site. Just upload the picture you wish to scrape the colors from and it will generate color pallet and their hex as shown above. (this is two I put together for easy access)

I haven't finishes this one and I already have an idea for the next color scheme.

Dudley Boyz blue camo ftw

Looks good, like the green/brown.

we already tried the homo yellow camo at groundforce1, hurts the eyes

rude can you put the intro/sig under offtopic?

Sometimes when I read threads with new posts in them, I close my browser and say...10mins later check back to the site. It'll still say that there are new posts in the thread even though there really weren't any new posts since I visited. Does this happen to anyone else or is it just me?

[DAS REICH] Blitz · 10-17-2007, 08:03 PM

same thing happens with me, but I thought it was just my browser.

Same here, also happened with the older site. There was an option to "mark all topics read" so if you did that and came back and refreshed it would show new posts in threads. This layout doesn't seem to have it.

Let me see, I seem to remember that I could set it via cookies or db. It should be db and not cookies. with cookies if you delete or clear them after exiting your browser then all threads would go back to default.

will check that and get back to everyone.

OK everyone I found it. here is a description of the settings

This option controls how threads and forums are marked as read.

Inactivity/Cookie Based - once a user has been inactive for a certain amount of time (the value of the session timeout option) all threads and forums are considered read. Individual threads are marked as read within a session via cookies.

This option is how all versions of vBulletin before 3.5 functioned.
Database (no automatic forum marking) - this option uses the database to store thread and forum read times. This allows accurate read markers to be kept indefinitely. However, in order for a forum to be marked read when all threads are read, the user must view the list of threads for that forum.

This option is more space and processor intensive than inactivity-based marking.
Database (automatic forum marking) - this option is the same as a previous option, but forums are automatically marked as read when the last new thread is read.

This is the most usable option for end users, but most processor intensive.

It was marked cookie based but I changed it to #3, so by today forward your reads should stick.

Also you can mark all thread / posts read by using either two links.
1) "quick link" in the menu under the "welcome (your user name)" upper right hand corner.
2) "forum links" or something to that effect in the same spot when in a general section of the forums.

Both these links give you a wide verity of options and features.

Please keep these types of things coming. vB is great but there's about 1000 options to set vs phpBB's 3

Also I'm going to try and work some more on the theme today. What turned into a 3 comp days off to running up to a local convention center to do a last minute show, through a monkey wrench into the time I was gong to spend on the back end of the forums.

If not today, I'm taking Fri, Mon-Tues off to get some things done.
