Forum upgrade...

Xyzzy · 2003-06-20, 07:59

1) New software, version 2.0.5 installed...
2) Forum logo is now linkified to mersenne.org (dswanson has been harping on me about this for ages!)
3) New font for the logo...
4) As much as this pains me, the old stylesheet is back... The death threats were starting to bother me...

:D

Enjoy!

I wouldn't be bothered even if the colorscheme was pink to purple. But if the logo colors would match the rest of the colorscheme it would be even better.

YotN,

Is there any way for an individual to apply his own color scheme? I liked the green.

When I click on "mersenneforum.org", my (and, I think, most other users') default expectation is that if it takes me somewhere, it will take me to the home page of mersenneforum.org, not some other URL's home page no matter how closely related.

So now I'll start harping that if text string "abcdef.xyz" links to abc.xyz instead of to abcdef.xyz, there should at least be an eye-catching mouseover text display to explain the departure from default expectation of link behavior!!

I think I see the reason it would link to GIMPS, but if it continues, The logo should be changed to indicate that it takes you to the GIMPS site.

However, because there are so many other projects here now, perhaps the main link shouldn't go the the GIMPS site.

Hmm... I'll see what I can do about that...

Editing these source files takes me a bit of time... :)

Okay, I put it in the nav bar... Comments?

Awesome. (unless it takes away cycles...)
