Evening folks. I installed two new themes in Sandy’s place..AND a code..and I didnt blow anything up! woooo! Well impressed.

PN2 is looking good. Being cheeky here,but no ask no get and all that...are you,or even can you,modify any of your themes Helena for pro boards? I’m thinking of my favourite...Gothesque. I adore that theme. If not,well so be it. Thought I would ask anyway.

Thats great news. Glad you are finding success in adapting to the new forum system.  I'm sure Sandy is pleased.  I found his custom background image for the Misty Woods theme if you wish to install it. http://z3.ifrm.com/28122/87/0/p493934/NZ...yWoods.jpg  ( I recommend rehosting.)

Right now I'm swamped with theme projects after the Tapatalk tsumani hit all of my boards, plus the development work that is in full swing now for Nexus.  I just don't have the time to take on another one right now.

I have no objections to Gothesque being converted for proboards if you can find someone to do it.   I suggest asking Cory about it. He seems to be interested in expanding his range of forum systems he is coding for. He just opened requests for conversions to Tapatalk, in fact.


I've just enabled the responsive version of the PN2.0 theme. It is called Flex PN in the changer.  It will have a few more bells and whistles in the end, but for now its a bit buggy so we can't make it the default yet.

So,where,would that image go in the css Helena? Then I’ll put it in. He will be pleased,he loves his misty woods theme.

I’ll ask Cory about gothesque then,thanks Helena.

I haven't worked with Jcink at all, so the best thing would be to have Cory set it for you. He can check the coding via the wayback machine and figure out how to do the same thing on Jcink. He'll need the URL for the ZetaBoards address. w11.zetaboards.com/TeMarae

O wait, I found a PM with some instructions that might help:

It might just be as simple as replacing this line in the CSS for the body { background:

Code:

background: url(http://z3.ifrm.com/28122/87/0/p493934/NZbkMistyWoods.jpg) repeat-x fixed left bottom #e1eaed;

Ahhhh Ok,I can do that in the morning. Cheers Helena.   His zetaboards site has been converted to crapatalk now. Dreadful.  :cry:

Night folks. See you tomorrow, sleepy time.

It looks to me like we are almost at the end of the migration process. I only have two boards left untransferred: PN and my personal blog board. They both have custom domains, so that's why they are at the end of the list.

Curious, Jane. When you installed the skins from Cory's board, did you use the .xml files? I was curious how easy it is to use them instead of manually copy/pasting CSS and template codes and installing images.

The system we are using here is basically a "click-install" type set up if there is an exported theme file (.xml) available.

[Jane]

Yes I did. So easy. Much better than manually copying everything.

So I expect everyones boards somewhere have migrated. Did you read Stephens post? 15 years...Ahhh well.

We had a thunderstorm yesterday with hail. Bucketed down for a while. Sent my bunnies diving for cover lol. The cats looked out of the back door and thought...maybe not lol.

This is the link for Sandy’s place. Does it look ok? I was pleased,with it.

Looks lovely, Jane. File import for theme installations was something that almost came to ZetaBoards. The Resource data base never made it out of beta unfortunately. Many of us spent countless hours submitting themes for it. All for nothing now. But at least for a time, some got to use it.



I've made a banner for the site, a couple fonts to choose from.

Cheers Helena. I shall work out where to install that. Not in the CSS I wouldnt think.

Still raining here. A very soggy bank holiday weekend.

Ahhh..macros!

This is what a lot of us are annoyed/upset about. All the coders and theme makers who gave countless hours of their time,for users.And stil
Brandon has said nothing,not a word. Ahh well...life moves on. Still leaves a sour taste though doesnt it...
