Garden_Pigeon Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hi, On the Planet Xbox 360 Forums, where all the links are one of them says The Arcade. People who are registered play those games and the person with the highest score, it shows up when they post. E.g: Say I got the highest score on "Spank the monkey", it would show "Winner of Spank The Monkey" under my name on my posts. Planet Xbox 360 uses vBulletin, So I was wondering if it was possible to do that on the R-E forums? [This isn't advertising, I am only comparing the 2 forums and suggesting things to make R-E forums better.] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 People were talking about having the arcade in, hopefully they'll put it in. None of you guys would win any of the games though, I'm just too damn good. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yeah, they're called Custom User titles. I dunno, it may seem like a good idea to some, but not really to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I think this would be a cool idea, its a gaming forum so why not add some games that we can all compete in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Hmm, good point. Why not, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieter Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 For starters, I'd like to see that 3/4th of the way squishyness of the forums disappear. Yeah, you've probably heard it a million times, but I feel like I'm looking left the whole time, which gets annoying. The game thing would be pretty cool yeah.

Even if they were to put something there, it'd still make for uncomfortable forum-viewing. And this is a forum. Obviously. It's hard getting used to this clinical look. The CE colours were....warmer or something. I'm sure that the staff have enough on their plates but I'd like to request a slight redesign :no: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bren Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Maybe in the future theyre might be a choice of skins? So you could choose to your tastes/moods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Nothing is finer than the colour scheme we had previous to the old colour scheme... http://web.archive.org/web/20031001071747/http://www.xsorbit1.com/users/cubeeurope/index.cgi That is a million times better.

Ashley Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Right to address several issues: 1. We dont think your advertising Garden Pidgeon, don't worry. 2. An arcade is possible, but its known as a hack (more of a mod then a hack but thats just semantics) and only the license holder can download hacks. So i've got to see about that with Tim as I believe he is the license holder. 3. I'll tell Jan about the whole size issue we've got going on. Im sure he knows but I'll see what his word is. 4. The officialish word is yes we're planning new schemes based on old site schemes but Jimmeny Cricket ladies and gentlemen, its been like four days since we've launched. Let us get our breath back. 5. Take care and party hard. 6. The forum is grey, not white :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 Bluddy hell. It's a message board, not an English exam. It's ok to make mistakes like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garden_Pigeon Posted September 18, 2005 Author Share Posted September 18, 2005 Yes but the weirdest part is I still havent got any points from anyone for trying to find ideas to make R-E a funner place :wink: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyson Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 I agree with Fierce Link. Probably for different reasons. It just doesn't seem like it fits the theme, and I also think it looks a little tacky. Also, it would be like re-adding post counts-ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dieter Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 But it's purple though.. And Rev isn't purple.. IIRC, the rev will be out in several colours, so that's not really an issue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EEVILMURRAY Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 6. The forum is grey, not white :P The bits around the posts are white. Unless it's such a light shade of grey paint cannot detect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fierce_LiNk Posted September 18, 2005 Share Posted September 18, 2005 The colours aint an issue at the moment. We do have the option for multiple "skins" and our staff will get round to implementing them. But, it will take time. We have only just launched and things are quite hectic around here.

Ganon Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 I don't have a major issue with the colours, in fact I love the main site design. The only problem I have is that everything feels a little cluttered. But as the admins have said, the new site has barely been up a week, so I'm sure people's problems will be solved over time. I'm just interested into what the staff feel about Revolution not being the final name for the console. Many sites are now saying it isn't, mainly due to the disapearance of the name on the console itself. Does this mean you will have to change your website address again, and ask people to click a link to visit the new site? If so, I feel so sorry for you guys! (Please note, I know little about website "stuff" so I may be over exaggerating what is a minor issue.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lammie Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 It's hard getting used to this clinical look. The CE colours were....warmer or something. I'm sure that the staff have enough on their plates but I'd like to request a slight redesign Request denied! We just spent the last month frantically redesinging the place. Not again, FOR A LONG TIME PLEASE! Although some alternative styles for the forums are on the cards, but it takes alot of work to get them looking tip-top. So for the moment the forums may appear to only take up 3/4 of the screen for some people becuase you probably have a screen rez higher than 1024*768. The forums are aligned left and are set at the same width as the main site as to create continuity between the two. We try as hard as possible to make sure as many people as possible are happy with the design, but alas, we just arent good enough to make everyone totally pleased!

Platty Posted September 19, 2005 Share Posted September 19, 2005 personally im very happy with our new colours, gives us a new kinda grown up look which is fitting for the revolution! or something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
