That's all I need to know.
Good, good.

And what avout all the banned people?
Most of the remaining bans in place are either temporary or being worked out. We reversed all the bans when the site went down on Friday, but not until after I made the backup of our database. When the initial upgrade failed I had to reload the backup database and as such the bans were back in place. When we went through the second time, I guess some bans were overlooked or forgotten. JERK DISEASE has been banned permanently, although we appreciate his help– and cooperation for the most part-- on Friday.
Nice new look and all, but ummmmm… can the second theme be a little dark?
It's gorgeous, no doubt and all, but I hate the brightness.
I totally miss the "Halloween" theme. :ermm:
give it a week saurus. it's hard to switch from a dark theme to a light theme at first. :)
also:
does a mexican hat dance at JD's banning I'm not gonna hide it.

Thank You Brennen but JERK away… A sad day xD
@No:

Whoa, whoa… what the hell did I miss?!

Well the "apreciate his help" part following right after the perm ban.
I don't think it's bright. Maybe it's because I turned the brightness of my monitor low but it still seems ok when compared to other sites.
I like it a lot. Thank you for the adjustments. So is this kind of update gonna happen with every new arc now?
I feel like Randy Marsh after he managed to get back on the internet.
Basically like this :)
He'll be back, guys. He always comes back…
I honestly don't feel the need to explain myself regarding JERK DISEASE. It was a staff decision, that's all that matters.
Edit: Ok, avatars should be working now. Lemme know.
They worked for me before.
@ Brennen: so you won't allow him to openly come back under yet another account ?
Avatars are working. Thank you.
Thanks for the hard work, I appreciate it, everybody who spent time working on this.
Is this update completely separate from the update to the main site, Brennen?

You don't have to explain at all. It's just… this has been going on for years and he always comes back under a new account, I was just under the impression you guys just decided to stop wasting your time, especially with how long this specific account lasted.
Thanks everyone involved in the upgrade.
@brennen.exe:

Sounds like a cliched plot twist in some shounen manga or action movie.
The theme upgrade goes hand in hand with the site update. We've been working on new themes, but the v4 board requires different code and images entirely ANYWAY…
Like has already been said a couple times, we'll try to have versions of the old stuff up soon where compatible. And new stuff where the schedules and work will allow. I helped put together this one, and it turned out theres a lot more involved than I thought would be. Like for instance, the secondary background color is also the main color on the front news page, so it has to be a certain brightness so the text will show up there, even though its only a framing color on the forum index... lots of stuff like that.
So even this theme is very likely to get tweaked once some of the other things are out of the way and there's been more time to play with the code. There WILL be more themes eventually. Patience will be rewarded!
@Robo:

Seperate? Yes, but closely related. We have a few tentative "New World" themes that we are toying with for the default theme on the forums. I think once we get that squared away we can redo the layout for the site and get that all up to speed. All in due time, but I have high hopes for 2011.
Perfect dark theme?
Shichibukai. Go!

I'm working on a dark theme I think a lot of you will really like, but there are some quirks with the layout that aren't cooperating. Maybe I will give you all a sneak peak some time.
The new forum looks nice. Good Job!

i believe the suddle hint is within the bolded text. As for the details, I guess the staff does not want to make a spectacle of it and decided to keep the reasoning within the staff.
darn it robo gorilla. don't scare me with that avatar ><
sigh. this site is distracting me already. anyone wanna fold my laundry. :D

I'll love you if you do such a thing.
Are the orbs in the forum index going to be changed into something OP specific like the older forum? It looks a little generic at the moment.
Oh and I liked the name Jerk Disease better than Robo Gorilla. Looks like the times are a changing.
edit: although the avatar might just be robo gorilla scaring peeps.
Well this is exciting.
Props to the people who put the time and the effort in to make this change. It looks to be well worth it.

That's not Zephos.
Notice the "RIP" on his User Title?
Zephos is "dead."

They're just the generic bubbles that are used for everything at Fishman Island. There will be nothing OP specific. Sorry.
If you're looking for things that clash, "Powered by vBulletin Version 4.1.0 Copyright 2011 vBulletin Solutions, Inc. All rights reserved. Special thanks to RobbyBevard and Sai-chan for help modifying the theme." at the bottom of the forum screen has clashing colors. I'm not complaining, I just thought you might want to know, if you didn't already.

Those are bubbles. You know? Like Fishman Island?
And… eh.. They aren't the same person you know?

Haha. The orbs are supposed to be Sabao Bubbles, or whatever they are called. I guess it is a bit difficult to tell. To be honest, RobbyBevard and I threw this theme together in about two days because I was dissatisfied with the other theme I had. Props to Robby for helping get it together so quickly, and props to Sai-chan for the Cairbou icons.
yes, but if you think about it, then you scroll down through everyone's childish (sometimes offensive) ava's and sigs. :P
edit: speak of the devil; nami, I must say, your ava is, er, uh, something else. :\
Her avatar is what happens when you try to eat paint
exactly.
No, seriously, I wanted to change it, but it didn't work. But Brennen said he fixed the prob and it works now, so I'm going to change my ava now.
BTW. The extra smilies thing doesn't work anymore :'(
also, look at robo gorilla's join date. I agree about the bubbles being generic, but they do sort of fit, being bubbles in the fishman island theme. I'm sure we just need to give the staff time to get everything done.
you know, saurus, for a brief moment, when you came back, I was like "oh no ava yet. poo" and then I stopped and said, "no, I'm gonna regret it" lol I know you too well.
No one else thinks nami's old ava was sexy? :ninja:
I hardly knew JD, but I assume that while he's gone the less rational posters will take advantage and post away without fear of scolding.
Of course it was sexy
Btw, I love the bubbles <3
Teh babblz are gud. Ai Approuv teh bublez.
BTW. The extra smilies thing doesn't work anymore :'(
Oh, thanks, I'll look into it.

When I was working on the colors for the site I colored a panel of King Neptune's head from the manga and used them where you see the bubbles now. New/Unread sections had him with younger skin tone and colored hair, old/read sections his skin was a bit more pale and hair was gray. They looked pretty ridiculous and totally classed with the color palette. Hahaha.
And if you don't like the bubbles, there's an alternate option for Madam Shirley's crystal balls.
But I like the bubbles. Theyve been around since Shabondy.
I made them too, that might be a factor…
(TuT)' AP's Growin' up
Oh man it's good to see AP take it a notch up after so long, great job guys lovin' the results.
LOL @ Brennen and the screen session, it happens to the best of us bro!

Or maybe more shy and timid posters with something to say will come out of the cracks, not scared to be shot down for their opinions. :)
hey, I keep finding, when I refresh, or post another message, it doesn't bring me to the last unread post for me. I didn't see taboo's comment about nami's ava eating paint, until nami quoted it. and then I seen stuff like robby posted, when I scrolled up to see other stuff I missed.

Don't hate.

Zephos! My nigga! Where are you?!

That's exactly why we need him.
Thank you for all the hard work guys. The forums look great! The chat for some reason freezes and won't work for me but that might also be a problem on my side.
Nami, you mean the script FF made? :< Yeah.. Wish it worked too. I guess it's back to the good old traditional copying and pasting the links for now!
I like the theme! I have to adjust a bit to this new layout and stuff though. Good Job!
