No hurry A. Go play some WoW. Youve earned it Very Happy

Do whichever you feel like most. Like Gloom says noone is any hurry and there is no deadline. Smile

No no no, dont give him any ideas! He's to slave on this night and day until we are satisfied! Work you clown, work I say! *cracks his whip* Wink

OK

- Latest posts thingy should be working now. It's been customised a bit by me, using my own custom SQL statement. Very nifty.
- You can select one of three themes. "CLOWN" (default), "CLOWN_Red" (Gloom's) and "CLOWN_Lite" (worksafe-ish)

I've also uploaded a squillion avatars.

Let me know what you think.

CLOWN red ftw! Very Happy

And the latest post actually shows the latest posts! A for president! Very Happy

Last request, skip the central, main page, "last posts block" then (now that the two smaller ones to the left are working) Very Happy

Adenas, I made a quick CLOWN rank image. Please upload it to the img directory (where the star rank images are). I'll set it as a special rank img for clowns from work tomorrow.

OK.

- Removed forum centre block, although I've put a link to it on the sidebar in case anyone finds it useful (I've grown quite fond of it)
- Added your image (although I edited it slightly to add transparency) and applied to all currently entered CLOWN ranks.
- I accept your nomination for president. When can I get my presidential CLOWN car (with wheels that fall off etc)? Smile

To do:
- Lite theme still has some weird colours here and there which I'm not particularly happy with - will have a shufti at it today.

Made the pic late last night. Somehow managed to screw the transp up. Seems to be one without transp atm? I see a white bg on it atm?

I could make myself a lot of work here; there are still some unresolved problems with the site. Frankly last night after spending four hours mucking around with the site I really can't be bothered anymore, but I'll keep them here for future reference as I consider them all nonessential.

- Tweak the last posts and last topics things to exclude the various private forums. Had a quick go last night but it's not trivial.
- Make the last posts link actually jump to the post in question. Again... I had a quick go last night but it was non-trivial and involved some SQL I really didn't want to work out.
- Teamspeak display isn't working. Knowing absolutely nothing about where it's hosted, I suspect the relevant port isn't being forwarded by the TS server. Need to speak to Sasc about it.
- LORD AFFIE WHERE ARE YOU!? All I need is FTP account details and admin would also be useful on old site. PM/Email me pls! Very Happy

Gotta do some work now. Will try my best to ding to 60 tonight.

And tbh, it sticks out too much atm? I'll try to make a less dominant one tonight Very Happy

The one you sent to me was white. I added transparency and uploaded it to images/ranks/clownrank.png (or something)

Another issue I've just remembered is the shoutbox is unavailable to non logged in users even if you configure it so it says it will let non logged in users post. I reckon it's a bug with the module... again low priority. Registered users only at the mo.

check pm, you are super moderator on the old site. I just added you. Always a start i guess, until Lord A comes around Razz

Never worked out the difference between super moderator and admin Wink

I can't seem to do much more if anything.

If you want the clownish words thingy transfered send me a list of the quotes or somehow get me access to them.

What PMs? I'm not sure whether there's a problem with the PM system as all my recently sent PMs have been dumped in the outbox and I can't figure out whether they've been sent or not. Did you get mine?

Yep, i got yours (didnt see it until just recently though - hadnt checked since last friday).
