captain wills blog..day 2!

as you all can see, yesterday was spent creating 'the new navigation bar'...

believe it or not, every icon up there is new.. i created them using ms paint.. as it's the only graphics software i have and know how to use...

though i do have 16 years experiance with it!!

where was i?!... erm....

so yeah, hopefully the new nav bar will sort out the people who come here and register, without filling in the app with the addition of the 'join Ex' button.. booyar!

also, i've managed to customise the titles of the other's, replacing 'home' with 'forum' and 'portal' with 'announcements'... also replaced the speachbubble (which was a temporary measuer) with 'chat'... and added a few that werent there!..


in other news, we've had another member, marcus, come to me.. he's from guam - which is 10 hours in the future for me... 15 for those on EST...

to allow him entry, i'm creating a 'rest of the world' group... and hopefully we'll get more members for this group..


any other suggestions on what the forum needs to contain, drop me a pm...

(not a music player, it's not happening! )

pt 2!...


ok, so i've been looking thru the forum, and it's possible to set certain things that only certain members can see...

this goes for forum widgets, and the nav bar.... i've removed the 'join extinction' button, for people who are signed in.. as they should already be joined up, and will nolonger need to see it...

also, i've removed the 'friend codes' button, for guests, for the same reason..

i'm now going to make a big announcement on the front page, directed at getting guests to sign up, that only they will see, so it isnt annoying to us...


pt 3...

ok, so some of you have noticed, new recruits, rather than filling out the app have been starting a new thread to say 'let me join' without giving any of the info we ask for!... i've now made it impossible for anyone but me to make a new thread in the new recruits section, so they have to reply to the one already there... just another little way of getting the new recruits to do thing the right way!...
