Well, I don't know how many people will read this, since it seems no one can access the boards, but if/when you are able to get here, you'll notice that the forums have a new look... one that's drastically different, although the colors are still similar.
Yeah, Basically, while I was filing the complaint about the fact that I'm the only one consistently able to get here, I also checked out the coding database that proboards has on their support forum and picked up a few cool codes to add gradients and such to the boards. Yep. Lots of fun and all, but at least the forums don't look quite as generic as they did. They still look generic, mind you, just not as much so. *Makes mental note to take a Javascript course someday so she can make better layouts*
Now, if only we could get rid of those stupid ads... OK, who's up for sponsoring some ad-free forums?

They're prettier now. +^_^+ I love the gradient thing; I always love gradients for some obscure reason.
The ads bother you that much? They don't really bother me. They're small and use the same colors as the forums, so half the time I don't even notice them.

Yes, gradients are amusing. And a very useful effect. Although I could have changed it to something more strange... maybe I'll do rainbows next time. That'd give everyone a headache though....
The hard part, though, was getting the top ones. The gradient at the bottom of the windows was easy enough; it was just a code that I pulled off the proboards support forums. But the ones on top I had to mess around with forever. The banner wasn't easy, either...
And yes, the ads do rather bother me... not the text ones with the backgrounds that match, but the image ones. They get annoying.

Rainbows? They have their proper place and time, and can be very beautiful. But . . . I think I like the purple better. +o.o+'
Well, you must have done something right, `cause the banner looks great! +^_^+ I like that font.
THE IMAGE ONES. Like the ones that show up on fanfiction.net. Ooooh, do they make me want to kill them sometimes! Especially the really stupid ones, and the dating service ones. They all have issues.

Yeah, me too. But you know, I noticed something the other day. Most of the members here seem to be girls. Do you think it has anything to do with the purple? Should I make it bluer?
Meep. Glad you like the banner. It amuses me as well.
DEATH TO DATING SERVICE BANNER ADS!!!! You know, I actually had a dream last n ight where someone paid for Ad-Free... isn't that sad??

I think all the male members we have are Cam, Cory, David, and your weird stalker-dude. Whoa, why did I list them in alphabetical order?! I didn't mean to. +0.0+;;; You can make it bluer if you want to, but I don't think the purple has much to do with it. Though I suppose you could send an e-mail to all our male members and ask them if they find the purple offensive or bothersome or some other words such as that.
That's ok . . . I had a dream last night that we were planning on going to the ConnectiCon and looking at a map, and Hartford was in New Jersey. +o.o+' We were upset that it was so far away, but determined to go anyway . . . New Jersey wasn't the same shape, either, but somehow I knew it was New Jersey.

Ah. Your gradients died! That must have happened when they fixed the server.
Yeah, `specially since it was shaped like Iowa . . . +o.o+;;
