Guest, you're invited to help build our new TBT time capsule! It contains three parts, with some of its elements planned to open in 2029 and others not until the distant future of 2034. Get started in 2024 Community Time Capsule: Blueprints.

It *is* a gradient. I didn't make the final sky yet though. The actual gradient will probably be a bigger transition.Jas0n said:Awesome, been waiting for this for what, a year?
A few questions:
1) Any plans to make the background a bit more interesting? The blank blue seems a bit dull... maybe you could add a few animal crossing style clouds, or even just a gradient to liven it up a bit?
2) Will there still be Spring/Summer/Autumn/Winter themes? I love changing it according to the seasons.
Also, the screenshot is a combination of two shots, so it's zoomed out more.
Any clouds etc can only go behind the tree area (right above the board) with the current setup.

On a serious note I sincerely hope you will reconsider some of the forum rules in place here at the Bell Tree when switching over to the new hosting system. I realize I've *****ed about the quality of posts here since I started roaming the forums but perhaps this could be the chance to up some of the posting standards.
Admittedly, I don't expect 10-16 year olds to act like you Jer, however I can see a brighter future for TBT with slightly increased consequences for rule breaking and meaningless posts/topics. After all, if your post doesn't ask/entertain/inform or by any standard contain moderately interesting information it shouldn't be posted.

Ah ok, would have never noticed that gradient if you didn't mention it XD If you did have different skins for the seasons the new layout would probably support it better, being able to change the gradient to a twilight/sunset type style for Winter and such.Jeremy said:It *is* a gradient.

Clouds in the tree area would be nice, the text looks kinda lonely right now, especially after going from the lively banner we currently have.
Knew about this for a few months, nice to see it finally happen. A bit disappointed that the post counts won't carry over, but that's alright I suppose. My reign of terror **had** to end sometime, haha.
Dunno if this has been asked yet or not, but would there be any possibility of doing something like NSider2 did with transferring post counts? I don't think it's very fair for a lot of us veteran members to be forced to start from scratch. Losing our posts and threads is one thing (as long as they'll still be archived here at ZetaBoards), but making us start completely from scratch like any other newcomer just isn't right. And, no, post count isn't everything, I know that. But it's going to make everyone look like newbies, no matter how much they've contributed to the community in the past.
It's too bad the move couldn't have waited until Andrew finished his forum software, which he would have made sure would be able to transfer all data from ZetaBoards. Oh, well. I like the new theme, at least.

i think its a good idea because
A i hate my name and i want to change it
and B it would mean i could be in one of the first few members
but that would mean that people would have to repost some of the really good threads

If you actually had made a name for yourself and contributed, people will know you regardless of post count.Tyeforce said:
With that I mean people that have come from here/looked here. New people will just have get used to learning how awesome you are, much like it is now really eh?
Honestly I don't see what reason we would have for keeping the post count. It's just a number that some people happen to wear as a sort of badge of honor. The people who are here know the "veterans" by name already, and said "veterans" tend to post at higher rates anyways.Tyeforce said:
