Cheers m8, Pictures especially I like to centre on the page so it would be cool to have.

Any chance we can turn up the font size of the little page numbers for the threads?  it only need to go up 1 point but they are a bit hard to click on atm being so small.

FUBAR

just a quick one, is it possable so that the last post is the first you see whenyou select a thread ie it automaticaly goes to the bottom of the page?

or even better than that the last unread post, which knowing this place will be about 3 pages from the end!

It will be possible, but there's a lot of work involved working out the last unread post to do first. When I get that far, I will be included such a link.

Nice to know these things are possible, all in good time Jamie

miniBB are working on something that does this, but I'm not sure I like it.

Go to their forums and register. Log in and then go to the minBBox link.  Have a play, see what you think.

Whats going on with the MKB logo? would be nice to have it so that we can start work on the new flash site aswell as revamp this forum. Also we still need to add the gigling part to philo's quote

The flash site has a light purple background, any one have problems with this as it looks pretty hot would also work well on the forum me thinks instead of the white

My one is still pending.  It's the next thing for me to do when I get some more dedicated PC time at home (as opposed to the 10 minutes here and there where I'm doing noddy upgrades).

Thing is, I have no idea when that will be.

FUBAR

I've not had time to have a go either, Graeme, can you e-mail me / Jamie a screen print image of the website so that I can get the colouring for the background.  actual size if poss that way sizing can be judged too.

Good thinking. I was planning my logo based on a black or white background (T-shirts lol), and hadn't considered different colours.

No need to email me it (unless it's changed from the original) as I have the flash template at home already.

Any better?

FUBAR

well it'll blend in that way, either that or make the background transparent so that it'll just overlay whatever's there, actually thats probably a better idea, but mean's i'll have to do all of it in Photoshop which i'm still learning.

FUBAR

not that i've found, i tried to save the gifs with transparant backgrounds & it didn't work, AFAIK you can only maintain transparancies if you save it in the .psp file which nothing else can read

I know it looks shite at the moment, but it's still an improvement on the miniBB logo.

I will try and clean it up when I have some more time.

Just noticed the mkb logo at the top of the screen looking gooood

Might have been there ages but I only just noticed it

Jamie,

Logo looks ok, the color of the flash site is #990000

I have swapped the background coloer on the forum with that color and it seems to work ok. Do you know if it is possible to use a image behind the tables of the forum as all i have been able to do is change the color?

The flash site uses a padded purple image that looks cool and i think could look quite nice behind the forum sections

It would give some consitancy to the stle of the whole forum, what do you think?

Jamieg285

Is the current logo OK then?

I thought it looked a bit rough (by account of it being shrunk from 800x600 to 150x100 and saved as Gif).  I was going to try and tidy it up, but you guys seem to like the 'rough' look.

Do you mean like that fancy template we found?  I haven't looked into how that works yet.

FUBAR

TBH I'm not keen on the pixellated look.

I have an idea (similar to your's) so I'm going to have a play with photoshop & make up a Neon sign, its just finding the time to do it, which I'm sure you can sympathise with :

Thats the one mate, the background color of that template looks nice against the logo, as you say it just needs tidying up, can you email me the original file and i will have a look at it with photshop
