Some things on layouts and image hosting Posted by  Dirbaio
07-23-11, 05:00 am
You all know that this board, like most AcmlmBoards, lets users have a post layout. This is great, yeah.
But we have to keep a quality standard on layouts, or people will just choose to browse the board with layouts disabled, and then they won't see your awesome shiny layout because of the other guy's eye-hurting layout.

So, some recommendations:
[readmore]

- Test your layout with ALL the themes.
- DO NOT change the text color without also changing the BG color. The text color you choose might make the text unreadable with other themes.
- Try not to use huge logos to advertise your stuff.
- Try not to use dynamic content (not cache-able) like signatures that update automatically. Or, if you do, make sure your host is fast so that pages still load fast.
- Above all, use common sense.


Also, on image hosting:

Choose carefully the image hosting service to use.
Some have a really shitty policy of requiring users to register. (Yes, imageshack, i'm looking at you)

Lately, they're requiring either users to register or me to register this domain. If not, instead of the images, you see a freakin' frozen frog picture telling you to register.

That's a really shitty policy, and they deserve to die for that. I therefore recomend everyone NOT TO USE IMAGESHACK! If you do, many people won't be able to see your images, even if you can. Be warned.


BTW: I'm looking at a way to allow users to attach images and files to posts. That way there will be no need for shitty image hosting.

Yep, I'm aware of it, and I'm looking into why does it happen.
Don't worry...

First, welcome to the new forums.
I hope you like them and I hope that this will mark a new era in the NSMB Hacking scene too...

Some things I want YOU to know:

  • This board is independent, hosted by me, managed by me.
  • This means that we're starting over: If you left the old forum because you were banned, you did not like or whatever, you're welcome again here.
  • However, this is only a second opportunity. As always, if you act like an idiot, you'll probably be banned here too.
  • As always, the rules apply: Don't post ROM's (hacked or not. patches are fine), be respectful with others, don't spam, etc etc.
  • Question threads are allowed now! because we have subforums. Post them in the right subforum please.
  • Post threads for your hacks in this subforum!

    Umm. I'll probably post announcements for more stuff.
