Wedge

A few months ago, I posted two logos on a private topic, I'm not posting the direct link because I don't like Google attempting to follow non-followable links. (Type a slash and then ?msg=291216 after wedge.org, and you should reach the page.)

This wasn't the right place to post them, and they're not accessible to 'regular members' (sorry), but I got some positive feedback on them and I put them aside because I was busy on other things.

Then I remembered the tests, and I did some extra work on them.
The result is at https://github.com/Wedge/, where you can see a higher res version of the one I'm thinking of using.

I also have alternative versions, like these:



Do you find any of these to be worth it..? I like their simplicity, really. I also like my fixed Lobster font. My original attempts with this (rather ubiquitous) font were a failure mostly because I used an earlier version of the font, and the new version has better weights, with thinner vertical lines. The handwritten aspect compensates fairly for the guttural sound of the 'Wedge' name. I think it also works better in a wider variety of forum footers (unless maybe on a hard-rock oriented forum... Well, even then :P)

My only issue with simplicity is that it doesn't catch attention as much as the current official logo, of course. (The one on the wedge.org homepage.) But I like it at least more than the current footer logos.
Also, a few days ago I replaced the badges with simpler, more discrete versions based on this new logo. I think they're so discrete, nobody noticed them, but at least it's more in line with the Wilde style... :lol:

So, I'm now officially fishing for opinions...! (For those new to this topic: don't bother with the poll, it's old and outdated.)

• PayPal subscriptions were completely, horribly, awfully broken. Took me two days to find out it was a frigging underscore replacing a dash during a rewrite (not mine). Thanks to Maxx and MultiformeIngegno for their multiple fake-donations that allowed me to finally spot it! (Subscriptions-PayPal.php)
• Added some extra error messages in places where the PayPal subscription verification was unsuccessful. (Subscriptions-PayPal.php, ManagePaid.english.php)

The trick is to disable pretty URLs...

That's just how it is. Your problem was that clicking the Reply link was redirecting you to the Display page, instead of the Post page, meaning Wedge wasn't correctly translating the URLs.

So this is either due to an incompatibility between your server (it's an Apache..? What version, etc? I could look it up myself though..) and your Wedge install, *or* something trickier, but I don't know what. I'd need FTP and phpMyAdmin access for me, and quite frankly for now I'm focused on too many things at the same time...

And don't you get any JavaScript errors in your developer tools' console log...?
Or a Wedge error in your admin area's error log?

Broken in what way?

These are the default settings at wedge.org so it must be due to another problem.
I'll look I to it later tonight when I have some time.

Maxx and Lorenzo, I finally got some debug data on PayPal thanks to you, so I should be able to reproduce the problem tonight or tomorrow... :)

• Hmm, this *should* fix the incorrect default skin updates in the skin management page. Sorry about that... (Themes.php, Themes.template.php)

I think your country is the only one to have a scam named after it... :^^;:
Don't worry though, I'm no stranger to wrongfully acquired reputations, so you're safe here.Having to accept a Visa or Mastercard or whatever implies having to open a relationship with a bank (as well as build a new layer for the subscriptions code). Not gonna happen... I actually gave up on selling Kyodai Mahjongg because I couldn't be arsed to find a new salesperson after mine was sold to a bigger company and that big company told me they couldn't set up the transition smoothly for me and I had to re-do everything from the start... Yeah, bye bye.
