The thinking is that the skin isn't fixed width anymore - so widening it would let people have a couple of images side by side. 800x300 would allow roughly the same amount of content - an image or two and a few lines of text - but severely cut down on scroll time. It also means that, since most images would clash a little side by side, the overall number of images would likely go down helping load times for people.

This, really. The width would never bother me. It's the height that did. Sometimes I'll have to scroll through signatures that are thrice the length of some posts. It just gets annoying after a while. So basically, it's "Oh, this is a nice signature!" then "Wait, this is fucking huge. Why does this person have two 500x500 signatures?" Sure, they look nice, but I just want to read the next post without having to sacrifice ever seeing the signature in the first place by disabling them.

People do go around with 600 width signatures a lot lately. SOTW was cut down on it 'cause it's just the rules as standard sig sizes on this forum. I don't get why you'd have to go crazy and go out of 500x500px anyway, it's a lot of space. 500x500 is what I hope it stays at, it gives you space to add buttons, and a bit of text, but nothing ridiculously enormous. If people step outside the line, something should be said. :hmmm: I know signatures were edited a decent time ago, whenever it was too big. (Shrugs) I think that's something that should be kept up. If it's too long, drop a note, etc.

Either way, can't wait for a more permanent / no bug skin. :wacky: I'm glad we have the default post font and colour back though. =] Small little highlight of the day, perhaps. Gots my purp back. :ryan:

It also depends on what skin you are using. If you are using the PurpleTest one, it will work. The SlateGray doesn't show the customized post colours and fonts either for me. (I'm using the PurpleTest though) works fine.

I can't seem to upload or link a png file for my new avi. My old one seemed fine but now it's showing invalid file through a link (several direct links tried) and that gawd awful white space is shown when uploaded.

halp?

If the image is over your limit (150x150), .png's won't show the transparency when forced to shrink. Edit the size of the image with paint.net or photoshop to 150 x 150 and the white won't be there :grin:

Yay, our own fonts and font colors :yay:
 
Okay awesome, took a few notes myself haha.

But I noticed the profile page went from dark to white. Was that intentional? :hmmm:
 
custom fonts on the dark grey theme 'jumps up and down :wacky:
 
Thanks @Mitsuki for looking out for me. Drak helped me out tho, I shrunk it, and it worked. :megusta:

Minor flash/java problem maybe? When the little notifications pop up at the bottom sometimes it takes a few clicks to actually get to where it needs to take me.. not sure if anyone else is experiencing this problem.

Also, I noticed in our profiles there's the bar/option to edit Usertitle colour, however it hasn't been enabled yet? I tried a few different colours and nothing happened. But also, I think that by adding just the same optional bar of text with different codes and lables, we can achieve the same sort of customizeable postbit seen here?

I have started to use this slate grey thingy, it's much better, I like it a lot, the only thing is (and this is true for all the skins) I find that the two tones in the shoutbox are really annoying, you know how one post gets a dark grey background, next post gets a light one or a white one, then the next one gets the grey again. Is there a way to remove that? I find it really distracting on the eyes.

You can turn off the alternating BG colours via Shoutbox Settings in the UserCP :)
"Hide Alternating Shout Colours"

Yeah that's a known issue, but it's hard to track down so it's not been possible to fix yet :(
 
Update:
Fixed user title customisation profile field not taking effect.

Fixed "Show Signatures Once" profile field option not taking effect.

Removed defunct "Date Format" profile field option.

Mitsuki: I missed a ques regarding profiles and them turning white, I didn't do that and I have no idea how that could have gotten changed, sorry :(
 
Wow, thanks! It's a small detail but it's awesome to have it back. You da bomb! :ohoho:
 
Are we supposed to have settings for the other shoutboxes we don't have access to? :hmmm: (there's a 3rd one below)

Interesting :hmmm:

I'll fichs that :)
 
lol I'm starting to feel bad for Belazor and DBT D:, this upgrade created soooooo much more work for them to do D:.

So Thanks for all your hard work, all this effort makes me proud to be a member of the forums :D having such a reliable staff to fix problems so quickly ^o^
 
Draklor: Fixed, thanks :)
xAaronx: Hehe, we knew it wasn't going to be finished right away, but we don't mind taking some time out of our schedules to improve FFF. After all, we both have a long history with this board so we care about it too :)
