    CHANGE THIS FUCKING LAYOUT

    This shit is ugly, untotsean, and horrible. Nothing aligns right. The whole crisp look of things is pretty gay but it looks mediocre on the tab and shit BUT U BETTER FIX THAT FUCKING BACKGROUND.

    CHANGE THIS SHIT BACK

    WHOEVER DID HIS IS A DICKMEAT IDIOT FUCK YOU

    totse needs to stay the way it was because there wasnt ONE THING WRONG WITH IT and its also the totse ive been looking at for 10 years and now its the totse that ive been looking at for ten years that somebody badly photosopped and dropped in a puddle

    it also seriously take away from the whole retro look of the site, its totse, from 20 years ago you know? that old sturdy stable - not some fancy 2.0 blog aight

    sorry but i just fkng hate it and i just drunk drive for an hour

    I didn't mind the background change because it was not too drastic, but ultimately I agree with you. I hate change.
    we should go back to ubb :) ( a lot of our problems come from vB imo)

    I would like it if we could seriously consider this. It probably will not happen considering the fact that the vB license has already been purchased and we seem to be using it.

    Remember we're still working on it. We're going to iron out all the kinks until this shit is perfect. Nothing is set in stone yet.

    I agree with you on the background, its just not right - although neither was the other. The new one is a step in the right direction, but not refined enough to deem it as the new background.

    I also liked the UBB layout. It was sleek, minimal and just 'felt' better. I'm pretty sure we will never go back to it, but maybe re-evaluating the vBul layout should be in order after the overall and mobile is done.

    So you don't like change Huh? I bet you don't run Win98 anymore. Therefore neither should totse.
    As far as Jeffs sturdy stable html went?
    There were roughly 27 images in the layout. Now there are only 2.:fap:

    One hour? Gawddamn that's a long way to get on the piss. Wasn't there a bar closer. :eek:

    lol, I hate change. Well, we can always go back to the old layout. But consider this, like bk mentioned that old layout uses bandwidth and it gets accessed all the fucking time. Also, they a layout is outdated cannot be fixed or worked on.

    This new layout is in beta. We're working on it. Once everything finishes it will look exactly like the old layout but with few extra features and improvements. I want this layout to be used on cms, galleries and other projects. I have to get this right. I can do this in the background but it's better if everyone sees it and gives feedback.

    You're working about minor things, we haven't touched that area yet. So, stop worrying about it. We care as much as you do or even more!

    Don't pay any attention to some babbling drunk you somehow made a moderator, Dfg. The site looks pretty well just as the original web version did near the end of its life, it's fast, sleek, and whatever you're doing is working.

    Meh its alright, improvement is a good thing, i just dont like this certain improvement. Still doesn't all align quite well in chrome.

    Hell yeah to whoever commented on my ubb thing. I thought the same thing, we should have some serious talks about it, but it prob wont happen and might be a bad idea. That would like completely retro out the site though which might be cool and will make it look different from all the other big sites out there.

    The previous bg image was like watching tv without an aerial. A bit like having sand rubbed in your eyes. ^^^
    It looks better than before although Skittles did mention shading to make it stand out more. Besides that it's better than the previous bg. :thumbsup:

    Good shit :thumbsup:. You're always going to have both sides of the argument but I think it looks great and a nice update for the modern interwebz. The old version just looked kind of shitty, even back on the original Totse. It just looked too small and pixelated for my taste.
  • edited November 2010
    If you don't enjoy the background image, you could always use a greasemonkey script to change it to the old image again.

    Agreed. The site doesn't look outdated anymore but it still is very obviously totse.

    I think abrn's reasons for disliking it are not just about personal taste, but also about how this site should appear to new users, I think abrn means that totse should stand out from the rest of the internet, with an older, unique style.

    If we have a huge amount of good content, such as restoring all of the old totse threads, then we could afford to have a simpler look because the content would overshadow the style. With enough content, and a historical connection to totse, we would not have to be simple followers that imitate the rest of internet.

    This could work both ways. To some, it will be "Oh it's pretty unique" but to others it will be "The 90s are over." To appeal to the first crowd, we just need to look unique, which is good going right now. To the second crowd, we need to update. Updating does not mean no more uniqueness. If done properly, we can be as unique as we want, and appeal to both crowds. However, with an old style, we may only appeal to one.

    That is all true, but there is the idea that totse has always attracted certain types of people, and that its success came from having those certain types of people. An argument that I have heard from those who oppose change and prefer simplicity is that if totse changes, such as becoming more like social networking sites focused on superficial things, it will bring the wrong type of people. However there is also a great need for new users. The first argument may or may not be true, and ultimately the admins will have to decide what type of community they wish to create.

    Well, in all honestly my plan to have the best of both worlds. We can have two styles for forums and the current layout will get refined more and more to perfectly match the old totse look. But doesn't mean we have to use crappy images etc. We have a cms on the way and it would help if the website stands out and loads faster on any platform.


    Under no condition would totse follow the social networking model. Sure we will exploit facebook,twitter, reddit for traffic and users and publicity but we're not going to merge with it.

    Played withn CSS for an hour and got to this point. The CSS is a bit sloppy but found major conflicts in Jeff template. I am revising the Vbulletin main CSS to fix some problems. I am trying to find a way to restrict the expanding window issue which basically happens because we have different limits set for the images. Also, the layout atm is in pixel. We tried em but it didn't work that well.

    But no worries, we will make it elastic but I think I should fix the Vbuletin internal CSS. It ain't pretty but hey someone has to do it. Again thanks to Bornkiller and skittles for helping me out.

    Not exactly missing something. The forum and the nav bar can be extened towards the right side. I found some problems here and there and I might need to do something up and down to make things right. Btw this same layout is being use for the cms. So, when we fianlly nail this down, the CMS would be ready as well. Assuming everything works.

    Now I really need some rest. I don't enjoy coding that much and some times css just rapes you :p.

    Thanks for being patient :).
