Made a handful of changes to the forums and splash page.
I'm not at all happy with how the the splash page turned out but until i make some new images that's how its ganna be.
That being said if anyone has photo shop skills im looking for a new logo that says Claytonia and has a gaming theme. it must have a transparent background. Post a few images and we will vote on them.

Forum changes :

• changed order of categories
• new post count based ranks
• new themes for tekkit and other games sections
• a few other small changes that effect performance and scheduled tasks.
• updated user themes. yes you can change your default theme

Its amazing what i get done when im stupid bored and no one at all is online for me to talk to! Such a boring day!!!!!

  now to figure it all out!

[Tslat]

To be honest clay, it was better how it was..

It's terrible web usability to have different sections of your website made differently when they're the same thing.

It looks kinda silly to switch to different boards and randomly have a new theme, it should be consistent

[Tslat]

Sorry to double post, but maybe take a look at this Clay.. it's simple and clean, and I can always change it to how you want.
I cleaned up all the useless code (quiet a lot), and optimized all the images. The entire folder is less than your current background image lol.

Idk if you have root file access, so if you require help pushing it into your current setup, I can help there too.

ClaytoniaWeb.zip

(extract to normal folder before trying to use it)

I completely agree tslat. And that is what u get when I try to do something sitting on the couch watching movies with the gf talking to me.   
I'm on a tablet at work but I will look at ur zip as soon as I get home.
Thanks for your honest opinion.

Tslat!
That page was great. thank you very much (plus 500 karma)!
I did make a few changes but i liked all of it.

The sad part about the editor is that I learned html back in the beginning of html 4. Its now more of a short cut that I knew i should not have been using. The finished product will always be better not using the editors.

Thanks you very much for taking the time to help me/us out with this it means a lot.

Full credit to tslat for the new splash page!!!!

[Tslat]

Cheers, It was bugging me how odd the splash page looked so I decided to do something about it lol..
There's still a few things that bug me about it actually, since I'm a perfectionist lol..
Either way, if you want something put into it that you can't figure out, I'm more than happy to create it for you lol.

and yeah, you can't learn a language once lol, have to keep learning it, otherwise you'll be out of sync in like 3 years lol. I keep relearning all my languages every month or so

[Clay]

Whats bothering you now?
Always happy to here suggestions.

[Tslat]

Got work now, I'll post on here when I can

[Zito]

It screws me up with all the new themes, but they look good at least. I really like the splash background!

[Tslat]

Thanks zito. I wanna improve it some more yet, but It is much neater than before anway

U can set themes in your forum profile and if u do that it will override the default themes.
I thought it would be better to not be looking at a minecraft theme while talking about war thunder. I also wanted to make the tekkit section stand out a little bit for u tekkit lovers.

[Tslat]

Clay you still there? I'm about to post the changes

[Tslat]

Sorry, I'll change things in a slight-incremental fashion..

Replace your background.jpg with this one: http://i.imgur.com/uF7MObn.jpg
It's the same image, but much more optimized. Those with slower speeds should suffer from about 3x less lagg when loading the page.

Replace your splash page (again) with this: index.html

Changes:
- Better styling on IP list (Exit button, bordering)
- Cleaner font for entire page
- IP list opens on first click instead of double click when first opening page
- Claytonia banner directs to splash page, useful for getting back to it when on other sections of the area
- IP's auto select when clicked, useful for Click+Copy
- Further removed redundant code

Frankly I'm surprised that your donate page worked lol, it was a complete mess

[Clay]

Thanks again for all ur help. I'll take a look tonight after work

Yeah, I forgot about the forum profiles. I like the look and idea of the new themes, and I am sure all of us Tekkit lovers like it too. I am probably just going to stick the default.

if you find a theme online that you want me to install let me know

you need to find a "Simple machine forums theme" just google it

[Zito]

Will do!

[Clay]

the updated site looks awesome tslat!
thank you very much for all your help!

[Tslat]

Glad you like it, I'll be around if you need anything else

[Clay]

what languages u know?

[Tslat]

HTML, CSS, JavaScript, php, SQL, c++, objective c, and I am in close works with someone who does java lol.. We get stuff done

[Zito]

Wow Tslat. Impressive list you got there!

[Tslat]

Cheers Zito..

Ah crap, hey Clay

On your Donate page in the html there's a line starting with <a href="http://claytonia.net....."
Near the end of that line is an <a/> tag, it's meant to be </a>.

You should probably change that, it causes the text on the page to flicker annoyingly when hovered..

I swear it wasn't like that before lol
