* Arantor likes everything he's seen, none of them jumping out hugely in a bad way, they're all pretty awesome :)

Oh, the logo on the blue side is *nice*.

Re the todo: see other comment, it 'should' be OK - if in doubt, try removing it, then putting it in debug mode (logged in as admin, add debug to the GET URL, e.g. index.php?debug) and see whether the browser gets pissy about having been given invalid HTML or not.

The current logo here looks good, as does Bloc's work above.

The 'A New Hope' was a combination of the SW theme and a tweak of one of the suggestions before it; the TIE fighter and Wedge Antilles were bits I hadn't thought of (as is, I was totally happy with 'A New Hope' before that was mentioned)

Well... I've read a couple of trivia books and watched all episodes at least 3 times (sometimes many more, but not season 3), and I have no remembrance of that detail. You're more hardcore than I am!

I don't know about you, but IRL, I'm a mix between Rimmer's egocentrism, neurosis and pedantry, and Lister for... uh... for the rest, "hopfully"?
I once wrote a big ol' article on my old-old website about the continuity blips in Red Dwarf. Unfortunately the Internet Archive isn't apparently serving the page at the moment :(

I thought he was doing a pretty impersonation of Ewan McGregor, though. He just looked like him, without the talent of course.
Though I have to say, it was one of the best English accents from someone whose accent isn't actually an English one, that I've heard in a while.


And yes, the change looks good :)

I can't believe you found the reference!!
It's even a continuity error across the canon - he talks about that as being awful for Sunday dinner since it goes everywhere (especially the gravy), then points out elsewhere that he nearly starved as a child because he wouldn't be fed unless he answered questions correctly, and failed.

Yeah, nice combo.
Or I could be Han, and you'd get to be Chcensored
(What? He DOES have a beard! A hundred of them, too!)

I suppose I'd be more likely to be Luke, though. That's what you get when you're blond. <sigh>
Works with Obi-Wan, too. Although it tells me you're going to leave before we release v1.0. Refund! Refund!
I'm definitely hairy enough to be Chewbacca, and I can sometimes growl like a Wookiee (did I spell that right? been way too long)

But... did Han shoot first? :o

Relax, Obi-wan isn't only in the first film, he does turn up at times in the two later films, then we get a whole new set of three films with his character and someone doing a terrible impersonation of his accent, haha.

For instance, I think the logo better works on the golden background than the blue background. Should I invert the two background colors?
It does work better, but I'd leave it alone, there are currently more private boards than public ones and I like feeling special :)

Anyway, do you like the Simple Math take? I didn't even think about adding an F to complete the pun.
Maybe "Simple Math, Friends". Hmm no.
I like the Simple Math take generally, but if you're going for the pun, really should have all three letters.

No, even better! We remove people support from Wedge! No more stupid themes!
Headline feature for 1.0.

A new hop?
You're not Arnold J. Rimmer, your family doesn't thrive on a misprint of the Bible.

But... I wanna be Dark Vaderz lulz
My natural English accent isn't quite up to Alec Guinness', but I do have the beard.

Sure we can... It's not final as long as v1.0 isn't out. But it's also important to give a good impression from day one
That's very true.
Quote
Yeah... So, what about "Simple math, really"?
It's a pun on Simple Machines, of course. But it also means that choosing between SMF and Wedge is simple math.
If you're going for the pun angle:
Simple Math, Finally
Simple Math, Fortunately

Yeah, it's pretty cool playing with headers
I don't for the most part (except for the colour change as mentioned), but most people grab a theme they like and stick with it, because they're boring.

For the geek win, the slogan should of course be "A New Hope" being the tagline of the first (proper) Star Wars film, and that was about a group of rebels standing up against the Empire and declaring that they would not conform, battles of masters of their skills, etc.

I like pretty much every logo that's gone on here, and to a point it almost doesn't matter what the logo looks like: we can always improve on it later. What's more important isn't the surface finish but the under-the-hood, the heart of the machine. No time vortexes here to be seen, naturally.


The unrelated note is pretty neat actually :) It actually reminds of what I did when I started arantor.org - I put the dark theme there, but I use the same dark theme on Airship Chronicles where there are a couple of regulars on both sites, so I changed the orange header to red for the other site so they're distinguishable at a glance.

OK, back to business. I've taken too long out working on this paid project, I need time to recover!

So... reviewed all the changes (holy crap, there's been a lot of commits in the last 9 days), nothing huge is jumping out at me, I did fix a change in the code docs though, SMF_HOOK_SETTINGS vs WEDGE_HOOK_SETTINGS. Also, now we're listing JS files and there seems to be changes to the list of included stylesheets if I'm not mistaken (bearing in mind loadTemplate can load stylesheets), we probably should fix up the debug info in ViewQuery.php.

I'm looking at building the new DB class first though.

Makes no odds to me, I still look through commit by commit as I always do.

As for X/HTML, I actually have no preference - whatever works is fine with me. Browsers interpret it fairly well these days.

Wouldn't call it 'a lot' - I'm still reading everything, but it's hard to get everything straight. First thing I'll be doing when I get back from town will be reading through the last few commits, and then back through the discussions on the JS stuff.
