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.] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 Hmm, good point. Why not, eh? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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.

Posted September 18, 2005 i agree, got to keep looking to the left, the big grey area is just sitting their doing nothing, unless your planning something with it? 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: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 Maybe in the future theyre might be a choice of skins? So you could choose to your tastes/moods Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted September 18, 2005 I'd back any crusade to make this forum not retina burning white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That literally hurt my eyes Anyway, I think the arcade deely is a great idea, could provide some fun entertainment to fill all those empty voids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 Bluddy hell. It's a message board, not an English exam. It's ok to make mistakes like that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted September 18, 2005 That is indeed very weird...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
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!
