Pebble and the Penguin forum

[Adder]

I created a new forum about The Pebble and the Penguin I already asked Tropicalia at her forum if she'd come (unintentional though, I was asking for help, and she said she'd join).

So if anyone goes to the site, can you please join there? I'm not forcing any one to join, I wanted to be know about it, and possibly join if they want too.

Moved the topic to The Fridge. The 'Show Us' forum is meant for pictures

Colors are way too bright....dark colors or colors with more contrast will help.  Bright orange and red aren't good on the eyes for any extended period of time.  Try that.  Also, I'm curious at the choice of proboards as a host.  I have never cared for them much, but they are simpler than invisionfree and have some features IPB doesn't have.

How's the new one? Dark green. dark blue and yellow orange. Is that better? Really, I'm still working on the skins. I'll have to add more images to the other skins, and maybe change the colors on some others, I don't remember if their bright or not.

That's just the default skin, I've got one of Hubie, the snow birds, rocko and the group of girls seen at the beginning of the movie, and through out it.

Feel free to suggest any others (expect Drake, I don't like him).

you should have drake included, i think, even though hes a villian.

Okay, but I've only found one image of him on google that is just him. But then again I typed in Marina, not Drake.

Didn't find anything of him when I typed in Drake, so I'm looking in a youtube video.

But it won't be set as the default skin, cause most people I know prefer Marina over any character. That's why I set her as the default skin, and my skin that I see. Most of the colors with him will be dark colors (dark red, blue, green, orange, etc.)

I honestly can't even read that post because the brown on blue makes it very hard to read.



You will need to do something where there is a dark color on a light color.  Nothing else will work.  Also, you might want to consider setting image restraints on avatar size...that's half my screen.  Only other thing I see wandering around....too many forums and subforums.  Your site is small.  Keep it small until you have the member base to branch out into many sections.  Notice how small my Mistmantle board is: http://z7.invisionfree.com/Mistmantle/   I don't dare start it out as large as this board is because its too new, too small, and not ready.  I would say one section for characters is enough...not separate sections for every voice actor.

Okay, I changed the text color to a dark purple, the avatars are placeholders until I can get smaller ones made.

I deleted the cast section completly.

But I'm not sure how the other skins are to other people, they all looked like I could see words fine when I created them.

[Petrie.]

Its hard to judge how skins look to other people because monitors have varying contrast levels, brightness levels, etc.  

I checked your board again and dark purple doesn't help.  Its the clash of colors that isn't working....like I said light/dark primary colors...white text on black, dark blue, dark purple, dark green....things like that.  Green on blue, purple on brown, things like that are going to cause problems.

I cannot offer much help on how to change a lot of colors, never using proboards or their system.

First piece:  "Board Wrappers" in the footer (guessing, looks like footer code)

Second piece: "Board Wrappers" in the header

Third piece:  Put that huge chunk of code in "Manage Style Sheets".  Delete the old one and put this in.


That should work.  Usually the theme creators tell you where to put all the code.  I'm surprised they didn't.  I'll be on Windows Live if you want to talk in real time.  I've got a bit of spare time to help out.

@Petrie:
Don't know where any of those things are. How about you just create an account whenever you have time, I give you the admin rights, and you do the skin for me. I'll give you the image links later.

Gone back to invision for good.

You're the boss...if that's what you want to do.  I like the set up of this proboards better than the last one.  Fewer sections, straightforward, make sense, and can grow as the board does.  The colors still don't sit well with me, but I'm the one that's blind as a bat.  Maybe people with eagle eyes don't have as much of a problem with it.

For curiousity's sake, why the handwritten banner images?  Your color schemes are easier to read, so that was a good change.

I don't know, I just felt like doing that instead of just typing it out, oh well.
