Doesn't matter what the site runs into. CSS can change the styling of pretty much everything. PHP is there to ensure that the content is pulled and shown, and HTML is just a silly thing to have a certain structure with which to interwove everything into.

The issue really happens, in case, for example, that there's a hot topic, but from the code perspective there's no icon loaded for a "hot thread" and therefore, with CSS, I can't really show an icon for a hot thread if the forum doesn't give out which one is a hot thread.

Right now, the issue would be basically overwriting certain things that are handled in the way SMF handles themes. Therefore, it would be much easier for me to just write a theme for SMF from scratch based on old Bungie.net and some nice touch for icons, rather than do the work of both finding ways to manipulate the current theme, and to make them work and look like a website from 2008.

Again, with hot threads the sample is that the hot thread icon is loaded through an image tag in HTML. I would have to inject using CSS to hide the image tag after the specific class of the table and then overwrite it with a background image that I would will to simulate the icon of Bungie.old. Here's the code for this sample;

Code: [Select]
td.icon2 .windowbg img {
    background: url(hot_thread.gif); /* New hot thread image */
}

That's code just for the CSS. I would have to translate into a javascript  source file, which is then loaded through Greasemonkey and effectively injects itself with the current theme.

The mobile theme just uses media queries to re-size everything, which you could probably check out by using "inspect element". How much are you looking to change, anyway? CSS styles can only do so much when the site runs in PHP.

The IRC server, yes. You can always find me there as "Isara" obviously.

hmm... the irc channel?

It's alright, but it's just a huge amount of work. Because I would have to take whatever we have from archived pages of Bungie.net, re-write it (Bungie.net's style code was a mess), and finally re-implement it to comply with the current theme and SMF. Which would mean each time Cheat would apply a change, I'd have to rush through everything and fix it.

I think it would be better, if we started a GitHub project for it, rather than suggest people with the ability to take onto such a large, and time consuming task on their hands alone.

Well maybe you should look into making that theme eh?

EDIT: I hope this doesn't come off as me being facetious

The new model probably was made just with Destiny in mind and to improve the connection between platforms and services hosted on Bungie.net (both public and non-public ones) The nameplate system on Halo: Reach was pretty straightforward compared to the whole infrastructure Bungie.net has today.

Too bad that I don't foresee them releasing any kind of document anymore.

Well, yeah; that's what I was hoping it was. Errors with collecting data from a game for use on a site are understandable.

It's not the exact same model that they've used before, though. You're able to poke and prod and move items and weapons around through the app (and probably the site too). It's a bit more complex than the nameplate system they had going for Reach, I'd wager, since you can also edit those weapons in-game.

Scripting, as in JS and CSS? I can handle those. I have some experience in web design.

Hmm I wonder who else is good at scripting besides Solonoid.....

Yeah, I was talking about re-creating those images, and design. So I guess, you are going for a similar design to Bungie.net during Halo 3?

Perhaps a recreation of the banners, eventually, like what I made with the forum icons.

Stuff like the side-column for pinned threads and ads won't be added, though.

Not the case. Probably because the user profiles, and forum profiles are tied, an issue with the game-related website database, which pulls the data from the game, could have caused a chain of issues. Probably someone deployed new code, or changes applied in the environment of the database. Hardware failure or change is also possible.

Bungie.net pulls the data from PSN, and Xbox Live respectively into small packages, which are then put into Bungie.net's servers and finally rendered as data for the website. That's the same structure they have been using since the days of Halo 2.

But it could also be that someone decided to host the site on the Destiny servers, yeah. That'd be dumb.

I have the Halo 2 limited edition with the metallic cover, but it's all painted black now, despite my attempts to keep it in a proper condition. Quite sad, really.

I think the forum images should be closer to what they looked in older Bungie.net. The current images are nice, but they feel very casual with the unique style of the community.

 Here's an example of what I am talking about.

I get an error on the forums overall. Seems there's an issue on B.net's side. Anyhow, yeah, I remember an earlier thread this month, and one of the sub conversations had a link to this place.

The hell?

EDIT: Cheat, I'm getting that same error now.

Eh, that's not really that good. It's just silly stuff. There are better suited websites for furries of any kind.

I don't share your feelings on the matter. Everyone here treats you with the same respect you give to them. Whether you are a newbie, a ninja or Cheat.

No, it clearly states that an expansion and PS+ is required.

Couldn't this just be content that was locked for later timed events, like Vault of Glass is?

Disappointment, that's all I have. I truly wanted for the game to be as good as Bungie's original vision. It's a fun game, but the issues that come with it aren't helping it all towards that ideal image of a 10 year lifespan.

Or you might be dyslexic with an attention disorder.

Yeah, I read the replies. Unfortunately I really don't want to go see if I have a disability because it could cause issues later in my life with job opportunities..

Monster...? What is a man? A miserable pile of secrets, depravity, and horrors. Don't mistake. The reason you are suffering, the reason you are calling me a monster is because you, a weakling, decided to be cursed as a human. Then let this monster end your suffering. *crushes man at feet*
