James Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=royalblue]Just wondering if the new OB Gizmo is working better for everyone than the previous Gizmo. I just want to get some input on that...I'll delete this thread afterwards. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=royalblue]I'm referring to the big menu/toolbar at the top of the page, containing the site logo. It's known as the "OtakuBoards Gizmo". :) The previous version was made of multiple images and was causing problems. The new version is cleaner and should work better. I'm just wondering if people who had problems with the last version are able to use the new version (in other words, are they able to access their user cp etc..?)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I'd say it works great, I havent had any trouble from it and I used to get plenty. So i would say you did quite well. Just one question while im here; none of the avatars come up when i go to select one from the profile option. Will these be up anytime soon?

James Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=royalblue]To answer your question: I really hope to have a whole new batch of avatars up soon. At the moment I'm still thinking about how the avatar index should be arranged, as now, we offer custom avatars as standard. Also, do you guys prefer the new "New Thread" and "Reply" buttons? You may remember the old ones...the ones I first had on the site. I changed them a week or so ago. I'm also planning on making other button changes soon.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Actually my post and reply buttons do not come up. They still work, but there is an X where a graphic should be. As for the custom avatars. I have already taken advantage and I am continuing a search for the perfect one, but most of the images i find and put on my computer dont seem to be the correct file type. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=red] As for how the new gizmo looks compared to the old one--I'd say it looks better. But, I liked on the old one how you could click on say 'profile' on the image and it would take you there. And as for the reply buttons, they come up as an X like Gokents said for me to. But, really, the way those buttons looks or the site looks wouldn't change anything about this site.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Matt Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=red][b]I can see the gizmo, but no matter were i click on it, it sends me to [url]http://www.otakuboards.com/index.php?[/url] I too cannot see the reply or new topic buttons.[/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 I have none of these problems now. I had these same complaints when the board first went up, but since the new gizmo was put in, it has worked perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=royalblue]It looks like you are having some major skin problems. I'll talk to someone about it.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 The 'easy reply' thingie didn't show up for me until just now, lol. Other than that, everything has been, and is, working fine for me. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychotik Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 My quick reply isn't there and just like son-goten the no matter where I click on the gizmo it takes me to the same page. Reverence-out>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=indigo]I can see the Gizmo, I do look its new look, but like the others, it only take me to the main page. I do not have the "Easy Reply" though I don't even use that.. I aslo cannot see the "Post Reply" and "New Topic" buttons. I don't know if this is for everyone, but I also have the old buttons that get people to their User CP, the Registering page etc..

RicoTranzrig Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Everything's working fine now...the gizmo kinda hints of some kind of game controller. Sometimes, old buttons from the previous version of otaku still load...but that's probably something different and it's not a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=royalblue]Okay, Shift has done some skin fixing...it should work properly for everyone now. So for those who couldn't see it all before, please use this thread to let me know if it's okay now! :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mnemolth Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 Oh my eyes! Good gawd, my eyes! Are you sure its white enough? :D Well its fixed for me now. My eyes on the other hand... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rancid Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [COLOR=crimson]Looking good James, you did a great job on this version, but the avatars are still have red X's in them. (Not the custom avatars)[/COLOR] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=royalblue]Wing Gundam; yep, avatars will be fixed soon. :) I decided to keep white for within the posts, so that any colour can be displayed. Grey obscured some colours. But anyway, now that everyone can access the v6 skin...we are working on two other things. First and foremost, the Event Arena will kick off with a bang very soon. And also, the Game Arena will be online shortly as well. :)[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amiboshi Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 This version looks great! I can see all the button and the OB Gizmo works fine. Oh yeah, and the instant reply is working fine, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PiroMunkie Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=indigo]Everything works fine now, James. :) Very impressive. Though one small thing I've noticed is that in the areas where you have the grey to white gradient bars (like under a person's post), the background color is yellow. For those with a slower modem, and have to wait a little bit for the gradient to load, the yellow is quite unattractive to have to look at. Could it just as easily be a gray color? Just a small little thing I noticed.[/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MathGuy2 Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 The gizmo seems to be working for me (Internet Explorer 5, Win2K, 22 Sep 02 2:45PMCDT). A few minutes ago, however, the old style showed for me - the one where the all-index gizmo was on the left and the six buttons were on the right. Seems like either my browser cached it or you just fixed it five minutes ago. [b]EDIT:[/b] when I clicked "Submit", my browser complained that an object was expected on line 1275 or something. (This was via Quick Reply.) The message posted fine, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Matt Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 [color=red][b]The only thing I can see that is wrong is with the quick reply. The box is too wide. It extends on both sides past where the edge of the posts stop. Other than that, everything looks, GREAT![/b][/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon Warrior Posted September 23, 2002 Share Posted September 23, 2002 It's fine with me. Even better than the last :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
