Welcome to CB4! Options

[micron]

There are still some areas where access is restricted, but I'm really tired and about to break. I've been up since... 9am two days ago, I haven't eaten all day, and I need a shower. But I think I'll just go straight to bed.

http://micron.createblog.com/

^ thats my profile. neat huh? i customized it a bit, you'll find it very easy to do so. I'm no where near done yet, I'll keep on adding more stuff in the weeks to come... like the new myspace / xanga tracker, photos page, etc, etc. Well take care, good day, and good night.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Awesome. Jusun, you are greatest.

[micron]

Oh I dont have any friends yet. Add me! ;)

You'll need to setup your profile before you can do that. Click on the "my account" link on the top right corner to do that.

[micron]

And if you haven't set up your profile yet, the system automagically redirects to your forum profile (dubbed "stats")

[clarity]

go go go jusun!

[*StanleyThePanda*]

sent you a friends request.

[iDecay]

YAY!!

Hey Jusun, what happened to the thing where you can change your username? I can't get to it..

[micron]

So that people don't get confused, everything OUTSIDE of the forum stuff is controlled in "My Accounts". If you find a bug, please post at my blog:

http://micron.createblog.com/blog/

[micron]

YAY!!

tehres been drastic changes to the db so ill have to make a new proggie tomorrow.

[clarity]

HAHA Wow, I just had a slow moment!

Thank you Jusun!!!

I'm gonna get my profile set up :)

[freeflow]

The profiles are amazing. Setup was fun. Everythings awesome!

[*mona lisa*]

I guess it doesn't work yet for those with spaces in their usernames. :(

[falsetigerlimbs]

Wow, I love it! Thanks so much. It looks amazing!

Hmm...my username gets cut off. :o

It's too long! Argh!

[*The Markster*]

Wow. I really appreciate all the work you've done on CB4, Jusun. :]
Neeeeeato!

[micron]

Yup sorry guys, I'll whip out another username changer tomorrow. It's going to do the submissions as well.

Just wanna say in the future, I think I'm going to make the CB header less obtrusive for the personal pages... something like blogger's. Mannn there's still sooo much that needs to be done.

[freeflow]

Question! How far can you go with customizing these things? :]

[micron]

very. everything except javascript. in teh future, each personal page will have an id associated to it, for example, all blog pages will be in a container div tag with the id blog. that way you can also customize one "section" of your pages while leaving the rest untouched.

[micron]

And all you layout submitters who've struggeled with all those errors, I think you'll really appreciate the new submitting engine. Hopefully, its bug free, but a lot of the code here right now I didn't really have the opportunity to proof read so I don't know.

[micron]

Hmm thats weird I'm not tired all of a sudden. i think im going to go do a quick stop at stop and shop and buy myself the first meal of the day. oh wait, its past midngiht now. the first meal of tomorrow. =)

[falsetigerlimbs]

So question...how come I can only have a tiny photo, when other people have much larger ones?
Mine automatically gets turned into a 150x150 square.
Am I missing something?

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I like it, I like it, I like it!

[moninja]

woo, cb4. this is great. [:

hey...where's the link to change your username. D:

[*relaxdontrelapse*]

some bugs i found...

-the comments link doesn't work on the subdomains page.
-the random button in the layouts always generates the same layout.
-the p/m page where you type your message is HUGE and stretches the page

one suggestion:
i used to use my link at the top right all the time to go to my profile and find my posts. now when i click on any of those links it's either to be able to customize something or go to my subdomain and i'm now required to just look through the topic i posted in.

[clarity]

For me, when I edit the post and click the green thing that says confirm edit or whatever it doesn't work. It just reloads the edit thing again. I have to use the full editor thing to actually edit a post.

[*The Markster*]

Hey, is the cute little top-right login gonna be how it was before? Like, I'd click "Login" and the input boxes would just auto appear right there.

[micron]

hey decided to get rid of it. sometimes you cant beat an old fashioed log in page. =)

oh, why dont you try uploading one of your animated avatars. the submission engine now supports them for browsing.

[clarity]

I added you as a friend Jusun :)

Anyhow, I'm guessing the winks aren't done yet seeing as it gives me a 404 error when I recieve them?

[demolished]

Dude, you're pretty dam awesome. I mean, DAM FRICKEN AWESOME, YO!

[*The Markster*]

oh, why dont you try uploading one of your animated avatars. the submission engine now supports them for browsing.

I would, but I personally think all of mine suck. Hm, you know, I haven't realized until now that CreateBlog never had animated graphics. Haha.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ Yes we did/do, you just couldn't see them animated unless you clicked on the "full view".

[*The Markster*]

^ Yes we did/do, you just couldn't see them animated unless you clicked on the "full view".

Ahh, I see. Hey, um, I have another odd question. On the new CB profiles, what are winks?

[treyinathens]

Are trackers still not working, or am i doing something wrong...
and if they are not working....when?

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Winks mean your hot

ew, what happened to the wink smiley, it looks ugly

[falsetigerlimbs]

haha, I customized my profile already.
that was fun!
:D

[*AngelicEyz00*]

SOMEONE MAKE A CSS THING TO CUSTOMIZE YOUR PROFILE

Please? hahaha

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Ahh, I see. Hey, um, I have another odd question. On the new CB profiles, what are winks?

They are kind of like pokes on Facebook (I think).

I'm about to go customize my page.. :]

[*The Markster*]

haha, I customized my profile already.
that was fun!
:D

I customized mine, too! Well, except, I just did a little text tweaking here and there, juiced up the nav Markster-style, but kept the main colors the same.

[AfternoonDeilght]

Are trackers still not working, or am i doing something wrong...
and if they are not working....when?

I'm wondering the same thing. When I try to get into it, I get taken to the page about Tracker v2, with a link to "Continue to xanga/myspace tracker v1." When I click it, I get taken to the sample tracker page, and it automatically logs me out. When I log back in, it automatically takes me back to the main page. ?

Everything's looking awesome though!!!!! Nice work! Just wondering when the tracker will be back up or if I could just be having problems with my account.

[falsetigerlimbs]

Ooh nice! I requested to be your friend too. Haha.

[clarity]

ZOMG JUSUN YOU DIDN'T FILTER THE EMBED TAGS! ZOMG THIS IS MUCH BETTER THAN MYSPACE! I got music. :)


marry me?
hahaha.

[*The Markster*]

Shh! He's sleeping.

[michellerrific]

^
A lot of the dates on layouts seem to say December 31, 1969.
Other than that, it's looking great so far. I'm going to add you!

[KissMe2408]

oh wow, shhhnaaazyyy

[*AngelicEyz00*]

i put an mp3 player

[clarity]

^ Haha, same hereee.

[*The Markster*]

i put an mp3 player

Oh, great idea ..

[michellerrific]

I also just realized how Myspace-y this is! Or maybe a little more like Facebook...very interesting! & easy to use.

[*The Markster*]

Whoa, I just noticed how ugly the profiles look in IE.
Gahh, stubborn Internet Explorer!

[*StanleyThePanda*]

^ Really?! I dont have IE, what does mine look like in IE?

[*[2]Nekked*]

anywhere cb has dual columns, it gets all misaligned. the right column only starts after the left column ends. they're not parallel.

i'm using ie6.

good work elsewise though.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Mine looks fine on IE.

[*The Markster*]

^ Really?! I dont have IE, what does mine look like in IE?

Well, on IE .. on everyone's profile, the second column is completely dropped all the way down to where the first column ends. Hideous, yes?

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Oh, thats weird. IE is a piece of crap anyways.

I'm having so much fun with this whole profile thing.
EVERYONE ADD ME, RIGHT MEOW!!!

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Well, on IE .. on everyone's profile, the second column is completely dropped all the way down to where the first column ends. Hideous, yes?

Ah, that is ugly, haha.

[falsetigerlimbs]

I swear I posted this before and it didn't go through.
But does anyone have any ideas why my photo automatically resizes to 150x150? All of you have photos that are much bigger than that.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Hmmm... that's weird. You uploaded yours from here? http://www.createblog.com/profile/change_picture.php

[falsetigerlimbs]

^ yep.

[*StanleyThePanda*]

Hmm.. thats weird. And the original is bigger than 150x150?

[falsetigerlimbs]

Hmm.. thats weird. And the original is bigger than 150x150?

Yeah, well it was...I actually cropped it to 150x150 because it kept just taking a small portion of my photo from a weird place.

I've tried it with several other photos, also.

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Yeah, well it was...I actually cropped it to 150x150 because it kept just taking a small portion of my photo from a weird place.

I've tried it with several other photos, also.

It crops it to 150 x 150 for the boards, but on the profile, it isn't cropped.

[clarity]

Yeah thats strange.

Are you sure the picture itself isn't small already?

[falsetigerlimbs]

ahaha you're right angelic. i'm just slow. it must be those blonde highlights i got at the weekend.

lol jk

FALSE ALARM!!!

[*[2]Nekked*]

Also, for locations, there is no Orange County metro for California so I had to choose LA. I live like an hour and a half from LA. Come on, jusun.

[Gigi]

It looks great!

One complaint: we need more countries!

[clarity]

^ And more Metros!

Also, for locations, there is no Orange County metro for California so I had to choose LA. I live like an hour and a half from LA. Come on, jusun.

Yeah, and for Maryland there isn't one for Takoma Park and I live like an hour away from Baltimore.

[gelionie]

YAY!! cB4!!
I was so scared for a moment when I couldn't access cB yesterday...


//edit: don't know if this has been reported yet...
On the "My Account" page:

Welcome!

You last visited on Dec 31, 1969 7:00 pm

O______o

[*AngelicEyz00*]

Haha, I have seen quite a few "1969"s.

[gelionie]

Okay, the message is not 1969 anymore, but...

Welcome!

You last visited on May 22, 2007 3:44 am

I'm in the +8 timezone, and I positively remember than I definitely wasn't on cB in 3am in the morning. Something wrong with the time?

[*AngelicEyz00*]

I'm pretty sure there is. i tried to change it, but I couldn't find where to? My time on the boards is just fine

[gelionie]

^ same here, just the "My Account" page.

[dwbh_]

it looks awesomee .
where do you find your favourites?

[HelplessCry]

i'm loving te new look! its going to take some time to get use to it though. but its very "in" with the now haha

[gelionie]

it looks awesomee .
where do you find your favourites?

Click your username on the top right corner.
You should see your profile.
Then scroll down and look for "Favourites" on the right.

[*Duchess_of_Dork*]

I guess it doesn't work yet for those with spaces in their usernames. :(

Shouldn't be a problem for you now...


My PM box seems to be getting full quite a bit lately, so if you guys need a name change (for those with spaces in their name), please feel free to use the "Send an Email" option in my profile if my PM box is full.

Looking good :]

[z3nn1]

Very cool.. thanks for the lovely things, you put alot of hard work into it.. you are truely amazing :]

z
p.s. the Tutorial section is restricted (if someone has mentioned it already I am sorry for repeating)
Also, I cannot choose any other countries for location

[gelionie]

^ a lot of the sections are still under construction for cB4.
Just wait a while. :)

[tokyo-rose]

Yay, the layouts are accessible now!
You go, Jusun.

[z3nn1]

^ a lot of the sections are still under construction for cB4.
Just wait a while. :)

Ah ok, thankyou for telling :]

[Nugget]

aww, it's beeeeautiful. :]
I NEED TO BE ACTIVE AGAIN!

[MiraLiz]

Is there no graphics showcase anymore, or am I going slightly crazy and just can't find it?

[elecktros00]

it says some stuff is restricted, and i try and log in and it doesn't work! =p

[clarity]

^ CB4 Is still undergoing construction and Only Jusun can access those pages because they probably aren't complete and ready for the public.

[marzipan]

...I need a bit of help with my layout for my profile. >_>;
Does anyone have a basic code? I can edit it from there. I just can't construct my own.

[*davinci*]

I'm freaking out. I can't log in under 'My Account'. So I can't customize my profile but I'll see what I've missed.

I like the excitement. :)

[transcendentalis...]

neatneat!
but my old account! all those posts!
lawl ohwell. i like this usernamee

is there any way we could possibly have a list of people who changed their usernames? i don't know who a lot of people are now. or do we have one that i don't know about?

[Blaqheartedstar]

um.. not sure if mentioned but here are some bugs i caught since i've been on today
1.### and symbols (like -) don't work for the Music, Movies, TV, books sections also whatevers in caps in those sections end up in lowercase
2. stats page is still open (with cb3's layout)
3. some graphics don't show but all is well with the layouts except the comments

suggestion
layout preview should go back to opening on a new page like before, because since the preview window is small on some layouts scrollbars appear making the layout look messed up when really its not

Also, for locations, there is no Orange County metro for California so I had to choose LA. I live like an hour and a half from LA. Come on, jusun.

i don't live in CA but theres no Bronx for newyork
u just got newyork which is split into queens, broklyn, bronx, and manhattan (which is called newyork)

the new CB is awesome, but the forums section looks weird... i have gotten soo use too cb3's forums and how pinned and sub forums stand out but now that cb4 has all the forums in one shade it makes it harder to know whats what
also merge of forums like designers cafe got merged with graphics and myspace, xanga, livejournal, etc became subforums
confusing...
i hope its not just me that feels this way about the forums

[micron]

some bugs i found...

-the comments link doesn't work on the subdomains page.
-the random button in the layouts always generates the same layout.
-the p/m page where you type your message is HUGE and stretches the page

hey, i wasnt able to duplicate your first two bugs. the pm message box is big because of the toolbar.

also, all the "forum links" are in the second line. what you would be looking for is "view new posts" or "my assistant".

For me, when I edit the post and click the green thing that says confirm edit or whatever it doesn't work. It just reloads the edit thing again. I have to use the full editor thing to actually edit a post.

hmm, what browser and version number are you using?

A lot of the dates on layouts seem to say December 31, 1969.
Other than that, it's looking great so far. I'm going to add you!

can you tell me which ones? most likely it means the date didnt get transferred correctly.

Also, for locations, there is no Orange County metro for California so I had to choose LA. I live like an hour and a half from LA. Come on, jusun.

hey Trish, long time! i got the locations off wikipedia us metros haha. ill add some more maybe. =)

It looks great!

One complaint: we need more countries!

ill add some more countries later... uk and ca being on the top of my list. =)

Haha, I have seen quite a few "1969"s.

oh thats teh default before they put in their birthdate. =)

Shouldn't be a problem for you now...

ello,

thanks for the comprehensive writeup.

1. teh interests stuff are undercased and some symbols are stripped because in the future theyre going to be links, linking to other people with similar interests.

2. tracker v2 is coming out, until then people who use cb stats will have to use the old layout.

3. ill be getting to the graphics soon, and ive disabled commenting for time being until i transfer all the old comments back.

thanks for the suggestion, youre right. i updated the layouts page so that the previe is no longer loaded within the site. also, the lcoation is really there so that you know who in cb is located near you. in the future, ill add a town field where people can put their actual location. =)

as for the forum consolidation, all graphics related stuff were dumped into the designers cafe. myspace support is now under 'site specific talk'.

[michellerrific]

can you tell me which ones? most likely it means the date didnt get transferred correctly.

I think it's on all of the layouts/graphics etc.

http://www.createblog.com/layouts/code.php?id=17980
Just an example. It's the "Approved On" dates on the right hand side.

[*JoanOfArc*]

I was in awe when I first logged on. But I do miss the old default font. Other than that, everything looks amazing. We have themes, now? NEAT!

[*Frénésie*]

Hmm ... the portal is beautiful but I'm not loving the forum right now.

[*tenren*]

Awesome job Jusun! -McDonalds' song- i'm lovin it. ;DD

[*davinci*]

QUESTION!

I noticed something while winking people. Can it only be done once to a member? 'Cause I can't wink someone I've already winked, just unwink them. HUH?

oh its like that because they were approved before cb4. weve only just began keeping track of it.

yes, you can only wink once per person. =)
