If a couple guys wouldn't mind. It's called Nopistons 2.0. I'm seriously thinking about changing it to the default skin. I got a couple little things that aren't prefect, but I am working to get that fixed. It's a light skin, easy on the eyes, but I am thinking about using it as the main skin so the site doesn't look like every other IPB forum on the internet. Let me know!!!

mazdaspeed7 04-03-2010 11:30 AM

I dont see it in the options, just the IP board, IP lo-fi, and beta blue.

phinsup 04-03-2010 11:38 AM

**** sorry, this is fixed. I had to delete cause I had serious issues.

phinsup 04-03-2010 11:40 AM

Just for those that don't know, skins marked BETA means they may have issues and I don't add features into them right away. Non-beta skins will have all the features added in. Right now Nopistons 2.0 and IP.Board are the only two with a complete feature set.

1988RedT2 04-03-2010 11:50 AM

It's a skinny skin. It doesn't go edge-to-edge on my display, whereas the IP Board skin does.

phinsup 04-03-2010 12:18 PM

yea that gives it a 3 dimensional look, it's part of the skin.

mazdaspeed7 04-03-2010 03:04 PM

Looks pretty good, I still prefer the beta blue though

thatpoorguy 04-04-2010 05:42 PM

it's interesting to say the least, i'll probably keep it on this one though for now cause everything looks bigger for some reason. or maybe i'm just going crazy.....

phinsup 04-04-2010 05:59 PM

actually the fonts on 2.0 are significantly bigger then the IP.Board skin lol

89 Rag 04-04-2010 10:16 PM

Im stickin with IP board, 2.0 is really skinny on a 17" screen, and on a blackberry, forget it.

thatpoorguy 04-04-2010 10:36 PM

hmm, it's not shrinking on my laptop, but i'm on google chrome

thatpoorguy 04-04-2010 10:38 PM

the new one doesn't have the breakdown of all the sections your in though so you can go back into the topic you were just in

I have increased the width from 88% to 98% which still gives it the 3 dimensional look. Please take a second look.

Actually it does, it's at the very top of the page instead of the top of the topic. It's one thing I'm not too sure I like.

89 Rag 04-04-2010 11:07 PM

Its better after the adjustments.



On my end it has the section backtrack twice... once abouve the shitcrate and again at the top of the page, you might be fiddling with it now so that might be why im seeing it?

I was moving it while you were looking at it. Should be fixed now. The navigation bar has been moved down and the width has been increased.

While using the new skin, most of the time I get a lo-fi version. So far, something like 7 out of 8 clicks/refreshes. I'm using Chrome version "4.1.249.1045 unknown (42898)" (whatever that is). I'll try it again in a bit to see if it's still doing it.

phinsup 04-05-2010 09:18 AM

it looks like the CSS isn't loading, I dunno if I hosed something moving the links around or what. I've tested it in chrome with no issues so that is very strange.

thatpoorguy 04-05-2010 10:16 PM

i've had that happen before but only when i was going into a thread with a ton of pictures. happens a lot more often on the other forum....

phinsup 04-05-2010 10:50 PM

I haven't been able to recreate this issue. Is it still happening to you? If it is let me know I have a test skin I have been playing with set up, I can put you on it and see if it does the same thing.

75 Repu 04-05-2010 11:37 PM

i am on the 2.0 skin right now. looks nice has the shading on the edges to give it a sort of 3d feel like you said. Soft shading on the separators looks nice.

Baldy 04-06-2010 08:00 AM

I just switched to nopistons 2.0 to check it again, and it went right to the same thing as before. I don't really care, I prefer the other skin. So if it's not messing up for anyone else, I wouldn't worry about it.



edit: but once I submitted my reply, it went to the 2.0 the right way.



edit #2: hit refresh, and went back to the crappy stuff, low-fi, whatever it is, haha, I'll try again just for kicks...





...I hit "save changes", it stayed crappy, hit refresh, stayed crappy, switching back to the other skin now

Yea that doesn't make much sense.

89 Rag 04-06-2010 11:58 AM

fast reply box hangs in IE8 like it was doing before too...

phinsup 04-06-2010 01:24 PM

lol oh **** I gotta remember what the **** I did to fix that

This should be fixed. Please clear browser cache and test. Thanks

phinsup 04-06-2010 01:43 PM

I need someone with a PC to test the skin with Google Chrome browser. Baldy is having issues. I no longer have anything with windoze installed. I have tested it on Mac Chrome and it works fine.

89 Rag 04-08-2010 12:31 PM

For IE8, if you view pages out of compatibility mode the box still hangs, in compatibility mode all is right

phinsup 04-08-2010 10:54 PM

lol IE has an option to be compatible.... I love it.

I dont know whats worse, the fact that there were enough issues to warrant a compatibility mode, or the fact that someone thought a compatibility mode was the best option for dealing with the problems...

89 Rag 04-09-2010 11:51 AM

and now it works just fine out of compatibility mode...I dont care what you all say, I still like XP, I'm sensing some elitist mac vs pc **** in here or is it just my browser can beat up your browser?

Might be my cheapo crappy hardware, but I had quite a few issues with XP. Windows 7 seems a lot more stable.

thatpoorguy 04-09-2010 10:22 PM

i have windows with google chrome and it's working fine for me lol

thatpoorguy 04-09-2010 10:24 PM

oh, and i'm on vista, i ******* hate vista lol

phinsup 04-09-2010 10:40 PM

Windoze sucks, but if you must use it, don't use IE, it's a pile of ****. Sad thing is it was a decent browser at one point, but as usual Microsoft can **** anything up and will.

75 Repu 04-10-2010 01:18 PM

Im on windows 7, both firefox and chrome work fine. Don't know about IE, the only time i ever used it since i got this pc was to download Firefox.
