Maintenance Complete - August 2011

Now for the easy part…learn Mandarin. :wink:

巩俐 - Gong Li , Worlds Greatest Actress!

Yes, Windows way of saving HD space.

The little guy falling through the wormhole is coming to help the rest of the bots running the GWC site.

Yep, They all have names. :slight_smile:

Boot - Can be found holding up the feature box at the top left of the page
Bot - Is falling through the worm hole at the top right
Bounce - You guys haven’t met yet.
Bit - You also haven’t met yet
Beam - Is holding up the GWC logo at the top of the podcast page
And Ball - (as in bocce) Can be located at the top of the static pages throwing topic headers onto the matte

The robot head at the top of the page running the wormhole generator is S.H.I.C. (Super Hot Intelligent Cyborg)

Hope that helps.

I haven’t seen them all, so I started a scavenger hunt.

Chrome has acted up and I have to restart. tbc.


Bot?


Beam?

I lack the html skills to find/link the Ball and Boot.

Boot

Ball

Thanks. Looks like I couldn’t find and left out S.H.I.C. (Super Hot Intelligent Cyborg) too.

Was working on that when you posted. :wink:

And S.H.I.C.

I bow before your web-fu.

More like Paintshop Pro screen capture, resizing and uploading to Photobucket fooie. :wink:

Sean: Gotta see 'em all! When are you putting up the other 2 and it would be cool to see them all on a shirt.

I like the new look! I like the light screen at work, but I agree that I’m not sure how it’ll work with my eyes in the dark or for frak parties when trying to focus from tv to computer screen. I’d be interested if there was a way to change skins as someone suggested.

Love the bots too! Way to go Sean : )

There’s another bot on the Forum banner:

Sean: Does this one have a name too?

Ah, that hadn’t occurred to me. Now, I do see potential problems during fraks.

As well as mosquitoes being drawn to bright screens. d:

I bow to your genius-foo then. I was wasting time looking at .png, .jpg, etc., in the source htmls.

Yes please post them, Sean.

Ah, I thought she was SHIC. But, you’re right. She’s different.

Signature spacing should now be fixed. :wink:

Gamertags and Twitternames in the user info have been restored.

Much better!

All hail Juan!!

I’m actually working on a User Script right now intended for Frak Parties. My goal is to turn the forum in to more of a chat room-like UI (but still actually be the forum). Adjusting the colors as part of the user script would be pretty easy. I’ll see what I can come up with.

If you’re not familiar with User Scripts they are basically javascript files that are added to the webpage client-side. They don’t change anything on the server, only the page in your own browser once it’s received from the server. And they can then basically do anything javascript can do. In this case I’m trying to fetch new posts asynchronously (in the background), and append new posts to the top of the page automatically without a need to re-load the whole page. However, user scripts only work in Firefox with the Grease Monkey add-on or in Google Chrome (no add-on needed). The script is almost done, hopefully I’ll have something to try out soon. (Also, this is my first attempt at writing a user script, although I am a web application programmer. Just trying to write the script to manipulate a 3rd party system is a bit tricky…)

Oh nice.

If I must use Firefox, I must.

I use Opera Mobile to access the forum from my Droid X. Everything looks good!

Here’s an example of the backwards font size I mentioned above:

Thanks, I’ll take a look.

BTW, for iOS/Android users, the GWC Forum also supports browsing through the Tapatalk app.

$3 for an app that almost does what my browser can? Naaaah. :slight_smile:
