Well here we are, PlanetSide Universe Version 3.0! Many long hours have been spent working to bring the new layout to you, and now it's here, live, for your enjoyment! A huge round of applause goes out to Gryphon who coded and recoded many different areas of PSU to not only make the site run faster, but run better for the admins and staff members who work on it everyday. The forums are also sporting this new look, so head on over to the comments thread below to check out the forums.

We hope you enjoy the new setup and if you have any trouble around the site please report them via the forum comment thread!

Open the threads you want to whore up in new tabs, then close the tabs when you've whored the thread.

Geh hamma. My IE window justifies itself to the center automaticly when theres a bigger-than-screen pic. (i.e. the rbstr pic in post your pic thread)

Can we fix this so it auto-left justifies? makes it a pain to read.

AztecWarrior
2004-10-26, 10:02 PM
I've posted instructions on how to redo your sigs, for those stuck with an olive drab sig.

Switching to full screen hasnt been set in stone yet. I'm not really sure if we are going to do that, kinda like fixed width./

This looks older.... reminds me of Win98..... meh....

Also, why is the NC mech on the right and the TR and VS mechs on the left?

Not sure if anyone noticed or pointed it out, but there are empire themes available on the front page by clicking the appropriate link under "Themes" at the top left.

It becomes more natural than the olive one after a few minutes, although I would suggest toning down some of the whites to light grays or metallics (like the top MMHell bar).

Triggar
2004-10-26, 11:09 PM
I really like how we can view who submitted the quotes, on each page now instead of just on the frontpage :)

Theres isnt a word to express how awesome this is.

Kam
2004-10-26, 11:39 PM
Why not? :p

How does this remind you of 98? lol

Because that implies that the NC are the outsiders, and I don't like being reminded that the TR and VS always double team us on Markov.

It reminds me because of the blockyness.

What's with the page not stretching, it looks awful with two inch margins on either side.

Squeeky
2004-10-27, 12:02 AM
I loaded up my PSU bookmark 3 times until i noticed the theme had changed. I was like "WTF SOMEONE HACKED INTO PSU AND MADE IT FUCKING SEXY"

Nice work.

Just to tell you the theme changes when you enter the forums i dont know if you wanted that to happen or not. Still want full theme changing ability that would rock.

MrPaul
2004-10-27, 07:40 AM
I have a problem when changing the theme :( It works n all, but before it works, it goes to a blank white screen, so I have to put the PSU URL back in the address bar and reload. Nothing big, just thought you'd like to know. (I'm using Firefox 0.8 btw, and 1.0 isn't as nice imo)

Kam
2004-10-27, 08:04 AM
Maybe we could have the option to change back? It could be a preference like the empire specific skins.

Hamma
2004-10-27, 10:00 AM
Change back to the original 2.0?

No, I don't think so. Whats the point of changing if we leave the old one online :p its to difficult to maintain more than one template anyway.

Ghryphen
2004-10-27, 12:09 PM
It is quite a process to add either the 1.0 or 2.0 theme. Colors are simple, but those are completely different layouts. Sorry, but you won't see 1.0 or 2.0 unless they make a come back for 4.0.

MrPaul, if I run across a fix I will see if I can do something about it. But I don't plan on trying to keep the coding up for out of date browsers.

Ghryphen
2004-10-27, 02:59 PM
MrPaul, I made a change. It will not function as intended, but you should not see the white page. Along that subject, does the same problem happen when you vote on the front page poll?

:nod: Yeah, I kind of got use to it a while back. Although I'm currently at a different house with Mozilla 0.92 (which may I say the different themes etc work prefectly for) so I can't check and see the changes with the other one just yet.
