Forum upgrade at midnight tonight (3 Viewers)

[hiphophooray123]

So where are them Goldmembers....

just coz ur lyke the only person in the world that never went gold does not mean you have to take it away from us. i fucking hate you cunt.

Yo James, have you thought about having a simple blog that updates people on maintenance occuring.

So when the forum is down it displays a message like: Website is under maintenance, please check our blog at blog.bos.org for more info.

That way everytime it goes down you won't get threads/questions saying 'WTF Happened?!?!?!11111'

I like this idea, will look into it on the weekend.

Any chance of stickied thread being more 'noticable' for all the little bos nooblings?

This sort of aesthetic change is relatively easy to make - the time consuming bit is figuring out exactly what the change should be, and then trying it out.

If you have an idea (e.g. HTML/CSS style suggestions) let me know.

Some sort of shading or background colour might work well, hmm.

Sticky background color change - vBulletin.org Forum
This maybe?

 

[AsyLum]

From other forums, stickies usually end up with the background filled with a darker colour, say the darker blue headings for the various sections here, rather than the shaded light blue/white.

edit: And yeah what kevin linked, in their own separate 'subsection' above everything with a sort of 'break' before the next sections, kinda like the current 'announcements'

Haha I find that makes stickies easier to ignore (though perhaps it would stand out more to newer users).

The most clean and effective way I think is to change the colour of the link (i.e. instead of dark blue, particularly important stickies could be pink/red/green etc).

Nice, now we have some reputation system.

As a temporary measure until I have time to setup a proper LaTeX interface, you can use the [ maths ] tag (without spaces).

For example:

[ maths ]\int_{1}^{2} x^{2} - 1[ /maths ]

produces:

[maths]\int_{1}^{2} x^{2} - 1[/maths]

In the meantime you can use this equation editor to figure out how to write your equations in code form.

[MATHS]
\begin{pmatrix}
9 & 13 & -4 & 2\\
0 & -4 & -2 & -2\\
3 & 3 & 0 & 0 \\
-3 & -3 & -2 & -2 \\
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
-2\\
0\\
-1\\
1\\
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
-12\\
Did\:not\:solve\lolol\\
-6\\
Did\:not\:solve\lolol\\
\end{pmatrix}
\\

\begin{pmatrix}
-2\\
Forget\:it\\
-1\\
Forget\:it\\
\end{pmatrix}
=
\lambda
\begin{pmatrix}
-12\\
Did\:not\:solve\lolol\\
-6\\
Did\:not\:solve\lolol\\
\end{pmatrix}
[/MATHS]

so i decided to create a set of matrices with eigenvectors and eigenvalues and the above was my result

[MATHS]
\begin{pmatrix}
9 & 13 & -4 & 2\\
0 & -4 & -2 & -2\\
3 & 3 & 0 & 0 \\
-3 & -3 & -2 & -2 \\
\end{pmatrix}
\begin{pmatrix}
-2\\
0\\
-1\\
1\\
\end{pmatrix}
=
\begin{pmatrix}
-12\\
Did\:not\:solve\:ololol\\
-6\\
Did\:not\:solve\:ololol\\
\end{pmatrix}
\\

\begin{pmatrix}
-2\\
Forget\:it\\
-1\\
Forget\:it\\
\end{pmatrix}
=
\lambda
\begin{pmatrix}
-12\\
Did\:not\:solve\:ololol\\
-6\\
Did\:not\:solve\:ololol\\
\end{pmatrix}
[/MATHS]

 

[Lazarus]

The tag only supports one line of symbols.

If you delete all of the line breaks:

[maths]\begin{pmatrix}9 & 13 & -4 & 2\\0 & -4 & -2 & -2\\3 & 3 & 0 & 0 \\-3 & -3 & -2 & -2 \\\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}-2\\0\\-1\\1\\\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}-12\\Did\:not\:solve\:\\-6\\Did\:not\:solve\:\\\end{pmatrix}\\\begin{pmatrix}-2\\Forget\:it\\-1\\Forget\:it\\\end{pmatrix}=\lambda\begin{pmatrix}-12\\Did\:not\:solve\:\\-6\\Did\:not\:solve\:\\\end{pmatrix}[/maths]

We'll have a proper interface for multi-line input soon.

 

[stazi]

can u actually become a gold member?

im guessing that there is a cap set now.

 

[David Spade]

So where are them Goldmembers....

I see what you did there, he who never went gold.

 

[Omie Jay]

Hey Lazarus, how about adding predefined UI themes for accounts? Theres a forum i used to visit, BeyondUnreal (games that run with the unreal engines: ut, ut2k4, ut3, gears of war..), they have the latest vbulletin forum thingo and members can change themes of their user interface.

Maybe look into that after all the main stuff are fixed?

 

[Minai]

I see what you did there, he who never went gold.

Suck it up bitches, as a consequence of me never going gold, no one ever will !

 

[stazi]

hahaha im going to neg you hard. anally.

 

[Lazarus]

I've spent a lot of time trying to optimise the server tonight and reduce loading times.

Please let me know whether you notice any difference (improvements or irregularities).

 

[stazi]

lazarus is so cool

 

[Omie Jay]

when i view my profile (or others) theres a message at the top of the screen:

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/member.php(512) : eval()'d code on line 43

when i viewed my profile..

And the page doesnt load all the graphics properly. plain white background, no graphics.

 

[Air Jordan]

that happened to me b4 but now its better for some reason

 

[Lazarus]

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/member.php(512) : eval()'d code on line 43

Thanks, fixed.

 

[stazi]

I'd like to fix Lazarus
