MMOwned v2 Discussions

[Apoc]

If you have any questions/suggestions for MMOwned v2, please discuss them here.

New threads will be locked, and users given infractions.

Keep things civil guys.

Are we having the same skin? I can't actually see the new FPSOwned so I don't know.

[Apoc]

No, it's a completely different skin.

IMO; it's cleaner, and much more lightweight.

We're keeping the 'dark' style though.

Ket is also looking into 'premium' skins. So if we find a totally bad ass skin we like, it may change!

[Ket]

Yes the skin/look is a work in progress.

I'd like to see the WoW release version next to the date field in each post, much like it's done on Wowhead.

Example: By Mushrumz on 11/14/2007 (Patch 2.3.0)

To keep the forum clean, I'd enable it only in the memory editing section, maybe also the exploit section.

[P1raten]

Any big differences that will happen to mmowned? Besides the features that vbulletin 4.0 brings.

[Remus]

may i suggest to finally bring in the wowhead item linker with v2?

It's already there.

I'm sorry, but what are actually changing?

To me it looks just like some sections are being moved / merged and the layout changes.


Can someone explain to me :/?

There you go.

My suggestions still stand as what I posted in the other thread. For those of you who did see them though:

I agree with the comment made by EcHoEs about the login boxes using some work.



The black text is a little hard to read on the background color of the input field. Also it is a little bit small. One similar to what we have no would be nice (size-wise).

The icons we have set up for the forum currently seem to be a little bland to me. We have many talented artists on the website who I'm sure would spend 10/15 minutes creating some that are more related to what MMOwned is really about.



I had a question about advertisements though. As seen in the below picture:



Are the same rules going to apply as to what we have now? Certain usergroups are exempt from seeing them? They are in a really nice location though, that I do like.

Also, a nice distinct logo would be nice (unless it is our crazy panda-man?). Something like Curse.com has:



Would be nice. Also a matching favicon maybe? The 'M' we have no is long obsolete as it was only compatible with our old MMOwned style with the ninja blade guy at the top (Demon hunter?).

The current color combo we have on the test site is fairly attractive although we have been using that scheme for what seems like ages now. Maybe something a little lighter? Just my opinion, but we should maybe have a vote of some sort to find out what the community wants most as the color scheme for the site. I think this would put an end to all the inc complaining about how they hate the new look.

The front page that we have on MMOwned is fairly nice and I wouldn't be sad to see it brought over to the new site as well. Ofc new options should be added with the new features available (blog etc.).

One glitch I found (you probably already know about it but just in case you haven't seen it yet) is located on the 'What's New' page where the shoutbox seems to be a little cut up:

Rawr. K here goes!

1) The login box stuff I keep forgetting about :P
2) IMO, the icons are fine. The current skin here is a bit too flashy and 'big'. The size of the icons are perfect. They're simple, and easy to distinguish against at a glance. Exactly what we want.
3) Yes, adverts will be hidden for certain usergroups. (Visible to all atm since it is still our test site. We want everything to be setup properly.)
4) I'm up for suggestions.
5) Set up a poll and see what the community wants? I honestly prefer lighter themes over darker ones, but that's just me. (Light themes are easier on the eyes after longer periods of time)
6) We're still fairly undecided on how the front page will look. The current MMOwned front page uses vBAdvanced or something to handle the 'portal'. The new MMOwned uses vB4's built in CMS stuff. We're still getting a grip on what's actually available to us, and how we can make it look better, and easier to use.
7) The shoutbox installed atm on FPSOwned will not actually be used when we move. It's there more for a 'here's where it will be' so we can get a feel for what it'll look like when we're finished. I'm aware of the random sizing bugs.

<3. You work too hard! Thanks for the reply though, I'm very excited for the end result

I could give the logo a go sometime
