Manco, how are things progressing?
Slowly, as I’m busy with some more pressing projects right now.

I am still working on a grid framework though; I’m using it in a couple of website projects, which allows me to see it in action and figure out where functionality is still lacking.

Right now I have a mobile-first grid which has a separate grid for mobile and desktop, along with some offset classes. I’m going to split the offset classes into separate desktop and mobile sets, and then do some more testing.

Once the grid CSS is where I want it to be work can get started on the typographic scale I was droning on about before.

Steamer and Git'Im, knock it off.

Git'Im, have you never been on a forum before? Existing members always haze the new guy or they're hypercritical of any activity that contravenes the forum's unwritten rules. Just ignore it.

Thanks for your input ..correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't it make you the homosexual as you keep following me around the forum where I post making jokes even a hyena wouldn't laugh at?

If you really admire my presence that much I'm sure I can send you a self portrait of me to fap at.
I can already tell you'll fit right in! Welcome!

Actually of all the places where I am a member, this is one of the few where that actually happens... Other places tend to actually be nice to new members.

Git'Im: because you're new, I'll be kind. Be warned from now on that when a moderator posts that a thread should get back on topic, any off-topic posts (even if they're responding to someone who posted earlier) are counted as spam and may receive an infraction.

I feel I need to have some input in this but I cannot contribute massively due to the lack of free time and whatnot but I don't mind doing bit's and pieces or give advice. I remember vaguely bringing this up when I first joined too.

I have heavily modified vBulletin 4 within my own website and I have dabbled with vB3.

Graphics for the UI are no problem, plus I'm fluent in PHP, CSS3 and HTML 5 and intermediate with Javascript.

In my opinion I would sack off designing for mobile. I have managed to use these styles on my iPhone without any problems and just think it will be effort worth using on graphics and integration.

For us to design a theme for vB3, we will need a copy of it. How else can we get the hooks, vB "if else" statements, and other behind the scenes code without Admin giving us all access to the Admin CP?

As for design wise, my idea would be to replicate a place from any Oddworld game without just slapping a screenshot in as a banner with "Oddworld Forums" on it.

I will elaborate once I have heard others thoughts , nice to see you all again by the way.

Things are going mega slow, mainly because I’m busy with a lot of other projects.

My previously-mentioned framework is going nicely, so there’s that. I’m thinking for testing purposes I might just go ahead and use an install of some other open source forum software, because I can’t find any way to get the same version of vBulletin to test on.

With regards to Xenforo and the blog issue, there are two third-party add-ons that have been created:

Well it looks like XenForo has much more robust styling documentation than vBulletin: http://xenforo.com/help/style-reference/

So is a move to XenForo something you’re seriously considering now? Should we focus on that rather than try and build a skin around the current forum software?

Yes, he's seriously considering it. Just as seriously as he's been considering it for the last four years.


I think you should give up on the idea that Peter is still involved in the running of the forums.

My two cents on the Xenforo thing; I've had the opportunity to play around with Xenforo a bit and while there are some areas that are significantly better thought out than vBulletin, it doesn't hold a candle to vBulletin 3.8 or 4.2. Some of the most basic functionality is missing from Xenforo, either being added by third party addons or planned 'somewhere down the line'. It will take a couple of versions before Xenforo is on the same level as vBulletin and changing to it right now would be a step backwards.

Don't fix what isn't broken. vBulletin isn't the easiest to work with when it comes to templates and such but it is the easiest in any other department (user management, forum management) except the CMS. Holy shit the CMS... whoever designed that should be shot, I kid you not.

Nothing new to report. I’ve been bogged down with a bunch of other stuff, including IRL projects.
