+1 more for the great work on the old girl, rob! Better than ever.
Please accept this emoticon :clap as a sign of my approval!
Oh, and is your pay pal account still open for donations?
Thanks Thrusty. :)
Nah, I don't think that WipeoutZone Paypal account exists any longer.
ok friend, just thought that the move to the new server and all that we could chip in to help you out with the bills.
It's cool - the new server costs me the same as the old one. :)
If you ever need help designing a theme for the forums, I'd be glad to help. I do a lot of freelance vBulletin theme design. See my site www.spacebuffs.com/discussion/ as an example of my work.
My, the years I've lurked here! :p
It wouldn't be a case of "help" because I'd never actually do it myself to need assistance! :D
You're welcome to contribute a design, though :) :+
I would love to see the forum in the mainpage's style :)
I'd be glad to. I could dupe the frontpage design per Sausehuhn's suggestion if you like, or do something from scratch. I also suggest upgrading the forums to 3.6.2.Quote:

Anyhow... there's a new version of the site on the way, featuring improved record sorting mixed in with some AJAX features to keep everything working smoothly. By improved sorting, I mean you'll now be able to filter records by team, so you can find out who the top pilots are in an Icaras, for example.

Click on the small pic for a great big version so you can see what I mean in the dropdown.
This is a work in progress, of course, and is probably a train-wreck in IE7 (haven't been checking much), but I reckon we could be good to go in the not too distant future.
Oh, I also have to re-do the home page now that the sidebar has gone away, so Zerow, if you want to zip up all the screen grabs you took from Pure, now would be the time to send me them. :)
nice to see that feature coming (selecting only one team). i also see youre now enabling a wysiwyg/richedit-editor for posting. havent checked it yet, but it would be wise to let the user choose between plain textbox and this (i bet some firefox users are too restrictive with their settings).
as for optics its your choice :) but personally i would re-use the wipeoutzone-font - the new one looks a bit sluggish... (to me of course)
The rich text editor for posts has been in place since we moved to vBulletin. That was in November 2005, so I'm pretty sure that if folk were finding it a hardship they'd have made it known to me by now.
Like I said, it's a work in progress - colours and everything else might well change, but thanks for the font feedback. :)
I've been using the maxxed-out editor since Rob switched to vBulletin.

Rob! Dude!! The ''Piranha Switch'' at last! Bless you. Thanks. :)
Although we sorta had it when you rewrote the records code to allow multiple entries; but this makes it complete.
Purely great Rob :)

I'll get it all fixed as soon as I can, though. Probably.
^hunts for a bookmaker^ ;)
It`s a bit late for you to work on your WZ and have you been drinking lately to mess it up?....foxy!;)
Actually, totally different and cool.
stevie:)
The new homepage looks really good :+ I like the design and the first picture I saw was a plasma being shot at Blue Ridge, very nice work indeed :nod
Nice one Rob! It looks very stylish. About the filter feature in the records table. I really miss a filter feature where you can filter out Triakis or Icaras or Piranha and see all the other records of all the other ships in a specific track, instead of seeing just one ship with all the records made with it. Or did I totally miss this!?
Rob, did you leave the stats out? just being curious cos I always checking them whos enters in the records per week.
stevie:)
Yup, the new front page looks very cool. =)
My Pure screenshots* are on the front page! WOOOOOOOO! :g
I also like the new ship filter, but it feels a bit constrictive at the moment - i.e. you can only filter all but one ship. Hopefully we'll get more freedom with it in the near future. :+
* - While I'm on that subject, I like the new size the screenshots are displayed in, as we can see the WO3 pics more clearly (I haven't seen a Fusion pic since I visited today, if they're still there). Nice one, Rob!
Fusion pics are gone - I didn't have the originals handy to re-do them at the new size, but I'll trawl around for them. I was thinking of adding a special file type to the user files area so that folk could upload screen grabs that would be included on the home page, but we'll see how it goes.
I'll keep working on the code so that we can select more than one ship at a time - that'll give a true Piranha toggle for 2097/XL.

cheers mate!
stevie:)
oh man, i forget about the internet for all of about a week and look what happens!!
Top work Rob, the new homepage looks brilliant!
The hard work and un-ending effort you put into the site really reflects how closely-knit this community is, and without you, we wouldnt have a place to meet up and chat!!
keep it up :) :) :)
P.S. Are you still going to include the quotes into the site? or am i just not looking hard enough?
I havn't been around for a while so when I saw the new homepage I initially thought I was somewhere else!!
As always Rob great work :nod
Heyyyy nice new look Infoxicated! Very stylish, and very cool. Keep up the good work.
Ah, some rearranging of the forum i see - wipeout future in discussion now
Rob makes some space for the new officall title ;)
Not really, it just dawned on me that discussing future sequels didn't really belong in the game discussion section, so I moved it.
notice the ";)" mate
;)
Hasn't the Wipeout Pure forum had a couple of name changes as well. Wipeout on PSP then Pure, PSP then Pure again
You trying to confuse us eh :D :dizzy
Very much so. ;)
I did say one time that it was called Wipeout for PSP in case there were future sequels on PSP, because creating a new forum for every sequel wasn't sustainable. However, I've had a change of heart on that.
I like the new look also, keep it up ;)
like the new favicon :)
Thanks, but now we're talking about this in two seperate topics...
I suppose could post a poll to decide whether we discuss this here or in the Evolution Engine topic... but that'd just confuse the issue even further! :D
