I still think there should be more whether effects than sunrise, day, and night. Don't mean to do, ''do this and do that'' but that's just a suggestion. Would be more realistic.

Unless you want the forum to be *censored.3.0*ing laggy as hell, there shouldn't be any kinds of animated weather effects.

The changing background works because it's simply a gradient, possibly with a few accents like stars.

Laggy as hell if you have Windows 95.

You don't understand web design, please go research it before making yourself look more like a fool.

Uh, you're the one that's the ''fool''. All new websites you go on to are laggy and slow at first, but after a few visits, it's fine.

 

[ACCF18]

And I never said the whether effects on the site should be animated. You could just put a picture of snow falling from the sky. Not so hard, eh?

 

[Jeremy]

No snow in summer.

 

[ACCF18]

No snow in summer.

But there's snow in winter.

Ok, let me explain this to you.

To create an animated background you can with a few different methods, the methods would be either with a GIF image or Flash.

a GIF image is multiple images spliced together to create an animation, whereas Flash is a container file used to deliver video through the Flash Player.

The problem with both of these is that they're huge file sizes, meaning that even if you have the images cached on your computer it's going to take a while to load them onto the webpage. Flash especially is very laggy, whereas a GIF needs to process every frame of the animation before it play cleanly.

Using these on a forum for example where you're constantly changing pages will lag you to *censored.3.0*, or atleast take a long time to load.

I'm agreeing with Jas0n on this one.

 

[Jake]

No snow in summer.

Will it run off the board clock or the users clock?
And also it doesn't snow in the desert...

Lol, then don't add so much animation. Like I said, I never said the website had to have animated rain or snow. Could just be a picture. Doesn't have to be fancy. The sunset isn't animated, and it looks cool.

It doesn't work that way, there has to be so much animation to create a smooth image otherwise you're gonna have snow jumping all over the screen, which looks stupid.

And how you propose you add rain, snow or any other weather effect without animation? You can't just have rain drops sitting in the sky, static.

 

[Jake]

You're still going on about it?

 

[Jas0n]

You're still going on about it?

You're still spamming by saying pointless things? We're having a discussion, if you have nothing to add then there's no need for you to post.

It would still look good with just a picture.

After reading the last few pages, I'm impressed by the sheer inanity of the majority of the questions being asked here. Is it really impossible to wait a little while?

to be fair, its been 80% jake.

liking the new theme, but again, i don't understand why we aren't already moved.

glad there's a set date at least. thanks for all the work towards the new site.

i lol'd when i saw the blog link. :3

Cause the site is still updating.

Jeremy said it runs off the user's board time & Eastern time is the default.
