New Theme

[The Tower 369]

nice.  

[BNB 100]

Very Nice.

Starting to shape up around here. 

 

[BNB 100]

It's blinding me though.  How do I turn on dark mode on the PC?

 

Thanks,

[Reese Bennett 3628]

When posts are quoted, the subject bar is really pronounced.

How come I'm sitting way up here in the nosebleed section though?  Shag Surly Elites like myself are usually field level.

[Wally Fairway 5610]

I like the (New) Main Theme - however if I click no avatar it goes back to the prior theme. Can no avatar be made available with the new theme?

(not that I am on shaggy whilst working .... much)

[Cheeseweasel 26438]

Fawesome. Great job, Bob. Now this site is worth the threefiddy I paid.

Thank you. And armybrat’s eyes will thank you.

It's interesting how the stadium picture kind of fades to gray as you scroll down. 

 

Kind of like all our hopes and dreams.

[Moby Ric 2058]

Its a shock to the system when you click on here in the morning and see all the stuff changed.  My day is completely thrown off now and I will have to start drinking.

[Dolemite 143]

Thanks. Looks great.

[GSU&UT 1798]

I really really like the post layout a lot better, it's much easier to read. However the background image honestly sucks, seems a bit too much like your first website on Lycos.

[Irwin F Fletcher 3554]

Looking good!

Maybe fade the background pic to this?

this essentially nails it.  the new layout is awesome and relatively clean.  really like some contrast between posts a lot.  for the list of forums when one is in the forums, i might change it from black on white to something that pops a bit more. 

but the stadium pic in the background is aaaaawwwwwwful.  really cheapens the rest of the site a lot.

as the arbiter of all taste in all things fine in this world, i would strongly recommend dumping that pic altogether...but at least get rid of the zoom and stretch on a low res pic.

So just another Wednesday for Surly posters, right?

[miguelito 11347]

Well, he specifically said "start drinking."  Some of us never stopped.

[Netzer 157]

So, what happened to the idea of a new top banner, as proposed previously?

[RDCanecutter 26570]

[N/M, figured out how to fix it myself.]

In on this. Kind of. Needs to by Thujone's bevo.

Perhaps one of the options could be "choose no background"?

[Dr Fear 1269]

I don't like change!!!!

The post layout is much improved, although I still can't figure out how to embed a tweet.

I just added the image URL to ad-block which works fine, leaves the background a nice gray.

You have to wait for it to embed in the post preview before you click post. If it doesn't embed after a few seconds then it definitely won't after you submit.

[Dr Fear 1269]

So the issue was that it was being pasted as "rich text" and I had to click "paste as plain text." Gracias !

[GSU&UT 1798]

Yeah if you use your mouse and select anything in the site (not the search bar) it's going to screw with the formatting in Rich Text.

I was using the click down "copy link to tweet" on twitter.

Can you share the URL? For some reason it blocks every element BUT the background for me.

@GSU&UT Thanks!! That got it!

[Jhawk 1075]

As a long time guest to Shaggy and the UT fanbase I just want to make the comment that Shaggy was an awesome site and I will miss the shit there.  I am grateful to the posters and blacklab for welcoming me as a kansas fan. 

That being said, this site is really developing into an awesome format.  I am enjoying every feature and am happy to see most of the posters made it over here.

Thanks for the hard work to please a bunch of assholes.

So much this. We need something that really ties the room together

[DanTheHorn 4973]

Very, very nice.

Background image with a full stadium would be an improvement. After USC game I am sure someone will have one.

I like that you have the ability to select from a few images, that is really cool. I am not 100% sure I like background images as a whole, but I like where your head is at.
