Methinks the Shrapnel crew lives in some sort of temporal anomaly... "Space Empires IV Gold Off Backorder!" is what one of the side ads say.

That just means SEIV was on backorder a while ago, and thus was not available. Now that it is no longer on backorder, SEIV is available for purchase once more.

Richard's signature is still in a temporal anomaly, however. Starfury is apparently still coming soon!

Ack! Where did the infinitely useful "Mark All Read" link in the control panel thingie at the top of the main forum view go? If the forum announcements were moved to a cell above the "Welcome" and CP cells, it wouldn't have to squish the CP links to a small area and force some of them to that 3rd line that was there before...

I've been fiddling with the Proxomitron some more and managed to make it remove the sidebar on every page, except the thread lists and the main category lists. This is what everyone has been suggesting be done with it.

URL Match:
Code:

---

www.shrapnelcommunity.com/threads/(^ubbthreads.php|postlist.php)

---

Byte Limit >= 7000 at least

Matching Expresion:
Code:

---

<table \w \w \w \w id="pr">*<tr></tr></table>?\n</td>

What a surprise. Annoying surprise I shall say. Because text in the tread is aligned to the center for me. I bet it's some sort of incompatibility with Opera browser, but it helps a little.
Could owners look at it and possibly fix it?

Yet another piece of background art, sorry if I'm being anoying, but It's what I do



Is this any better?

Cheers!

[David E. Gervais]

And in case you're wondering what it would look like with text on it..



Cheers!

That background would be good for forum announcements.

What about one with a gear/hammer theme for the new mods press boxes?

[DeadZone]

Actually, I kinda like the new look

Especially now the bloody side news stays up top instead of spreading out down the side

Edit: Oh, since you are changing things around, you might want to consider altering the colors a little to give it a even fresher look

[zircher]

Since the press releases and links now float to the top. How about putting a collapse sidebar button in the upper right corner of the side bar?

I'd be willing to make the extra mouse click to get rid of the damn thing each time I visit. And, if I really did need the links, I'd only have to click on the same button to expand the side bar.

Ah, it is nice to see it back in action.
