Anyone isn't interested in that update?

[Adler]

lolwut there's a topic for it? I only saw the announcement.

I think it's pretty cool.

[Adler]

Erm this little tree thingy with all the posts in it at the bottom of the thread is part of the new v2 system?

[Silent]

You've changed display mode to Outline. You can restore that in Options, above first post.

And that was earlier already

[Adler]

Ooops my bad lol.

[Silent]

I've had the same problem on other forum that is based on IPB

Oops, Deji will kill me cause of that offtopic ;/ ;/

Yes.. 5 warning points and an instant ban from all GTAG related services for Silent

[Deji]

Little screenie?



Got some nice fancy JQuery (stable-ish Javascript) in there. Of course it also works fully without Javascript

[Deji]

Another screenshot, this time showing some nice use of BB Code that will be implemented in the forums. The "[opcode]" tag which is currently on the forum only links to the database page. The new one will show the opcode line when you hover over the link so you don't even have to click it to see what it does



The green tick on the bottom corner of my browser is the tick of approval by W3C standards

User comments for opcode would be good like PHP.net has it under function descriptions:

[Deji]

What do you mean?

The Opcode Database doesn't use .ini files.

[Deji]

Half way to v2 and the worst of my tasks is almost over (the forum).

In my head, the estimated grand opening date just reduced a few months

[Adler]

Nice. Any expected or even tentative date of the "grand opening?"

[Deji]

Well.. at this rate, it should arrive before April. Hopefully the downloads system won't take too long to finish.


EDIT

Ooh, new forum theme!

(using an old forum backup, the forums and categories still need updating)

[Adler]

Nice that's pretty early. No word on when GTAF 2.0 is coming.

Haha yeah I saw that theme some time ago. Looks real nice but can you keep the old skin just as a memento (like GTAF kept their old skin)?

No the skin can't be kept xD It'd be less professional and v2 that way. Having access to the site I can say Deji's doing good progress.

[Deji]

Well, the first post has been edited to give the new forum a nice "99%" progress.

Still got a lot of stuff finish on the main site, though.

[Adler]

lol nah I meant keep it in a drop-down from which to select different skins for GTAG like GTAF does. Sorry for the late reply. xD

[Deji]

I doubt it will remain. If it wasn't so bugged, I would consider it.
