I'll have some time for technical stuffs and things next week.

Scott, what have you got? I like your forum theme mock-up, but I don't know how much of it is Photoshop and how much will actually take real CSS work.

Andreas, I added your cron job. Please yell at me if it fails to work for whatever reason.

Erik, I'll be looking at the Subversion setup...

Harvey et al, Bill gave me shell access to Nelaga's hosting a while ago. I'll be able to update the phpBB there if you like. Or I can move the forum to different hosting, though I'm not really sure I see a reason to do so. Also if someone pays for domain hosting (it's usually somewhere around ten bucks a year or slightly below for a .com/.net/.org/similar) I can make the site accessible as, say, nelaga.net regardless of where it's hosted.

I tightened the Malarbox forum's posting permissions back up to just the Malarbaristas group (plus the admin-y and kaiser-y groups that would have access to post anyway). Pretty much everyone who has ever posted an update should have permission to post there.

Also, here's something I found while checking how badly the Malarbox spam had cluttered the MNN news feed. Haven't watched beyond the first part myself, but it seems to be... average:

He's here!!!

Hey, Ari, sup?

... also I changed the colour of House Mortis from #0000ff to #04c so it's actually visible against the background...

Huzzah, the project manager cometh...

Thanks Ari, I thought it was a bit unseeable.

And since this thread might as well serve as a todo list for me, CJ, I'll get to your case next week...

Hold that thought wrt. transferring Nelaga's forum over to my host, I got bored and did it already. Found a deal for getting http://nelaga.info for a couple of bucks too.

What are you gonna do with CJ?

Welcome back Ari! Now I don't have to do everything ineptly!

Hallelujah he has risen!

Scott, what have you got? I like your forum theme mock-up, but I don't know how much of it is Photoshop and how much will actually take real CSS work.

I started with this and the rest is Photoshop. If you can install that, figure out how to change the green-grey gradient in back to a dark blue one, get the forum part as opposed to the blank stripes on the side wider, and get the Malarbox working, then I'll contact the artist who drew that castle picture to see if we can get permission to use it. After that, which of us does what depends on whether you want to give me permission to upload to the board images directory

I feel okay about Nelaga being on Ari's server.

Any chance I could get FTP access, simply to upload various banners and stuff that get changed every now and again?

SHIT BETTER BE ACCURATE

Thanks Ari. I've been checking the logs every so often. Looks like the daily function just kicked in; so it looks like it's all working.

So, update: I contacted the woman who drew that castle picture, and she never got back to me. I'm giving up and have stitched together an alternate logo with more or less the same design out of real photographs.

Ari, how's your part going?

ARI'S OUT UNTIL THIS WEEKEND, PRESUMABLY CUTTING DOWN TREES I THINK.

Yes but so long as he's helping to win the war on trees it is all good.

Silence speaks of consent. Just use the one we like.
