Sdf-1 Posted March 11, 2006 Posted March 11, 2006 Hey guys, I wanted to upload stuff, but it seems that jce doesn't work on my computer at all. Do you have some editor panel or something visible? I have nothing, when I choose to use jce. Quote

Hurin Posted March 12, 2006 Posted March 12, 2006 Ugh! I guess a lot of us use Firefox now because nobody mentioned how craptacular the semi-transparent logo for our forums looked in IE! Apparently, IE (pre-IE7) can't handle alpha-blended transparent PNG files. So, our logo was coming up with a *really* ugly background. Anyways, was able to put in some javascript which fixes the problem. So, if anyone snuck a peak at our forums and ran away in horror because you use IE and it looked terrible, please try it again now. Thanks! H Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted March 15, 2006 Posted March 15, 2006 Apparently, IE (pre-IE7) can't handle alpha-blended transparent PNG files. So, our logo was coming up with a *really* ugly background. You'd be correct. Internet Explorer can't currently properly render PNG-format transparencies. That'll be fixed in IE 7.0. Unfortunately, IE is still used by a lot of people, so as a web designer I normally recommend shying away from transparent PNG files in favor of some hand-blended JPGs until there's full cross-browser support for PNG format.

But oddly, when I first tried things without transparent PNG, each browser was subtely altering the color of the faux background. So on IE, things didn't match. If I adjusted for IE, Firefox wouldn't match. . . as usual. But, I found a pretty good fix for the problem here. A simple javascript put into the header for the boards that is only implemented by IE and ignored by FF. But for the main site, we're going to just avoid transparent PNG as you suggest. H Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted March 16, 2006 Posted March 16, 2006 All that aside, I'd like to say you have a very visually appealing website. Congratulations and keep up the good work. Quote
Mechamaniac Posted June 8, 2006 Author Posted June 8, 2006 I've been meaning to get around to this since we started, but as fate would have it, work actually had me occupied during and after the workday for the last month, so I had to put it on the back burner. Anyhoo, excuses aside, I have FINALLY completed the first couple of character bios for the main site... Please check them out here... Hikaru Ichijo Bruno J.

Mechamaniac Posted June 9, 2006 Author Posted June 9, 2006 We've had our first Mecha profile submission by a member. Dr. Vandermeer has done a really nice profile of the MBR 04 MKVI Tomahawk Thanks Dr. Vandermeer! Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted June 9, 2006 Posted June 9, 2006 I love it! I really need to dedicate some serious time soon and properly upload, categorize, and title all those cels images I've collected for the past decade. Sorry for the delays M and H. Quote

Hurin Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 Just an FYI: We've upgraded the forums on Macross Nexus to IPB v2.2.x. This is a substantial upgrade. There's a lot of new (and some crazy) features in this new version. Friends lists. Member ratings/voting. Profile comments. All new posting editor. And much more. On the surface, it looks very similar. But once you scratch the surface, there's a lot of interesting stuff all of which can be disabled if some of the new features are too freaky). Feel free to register and check it out. You might even consider it a sneak-peak at what MW will eventually be running (presumably). H Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted December 20, 2006 Posted December 20, 2006 There's a lot of new (and some crazy) features in this new version. Friends lists. Member ratings/voting. Profile comments. Myspace really is taking over the Internet. Now I need to take an emo pic of myself Quote
Hurin Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Well, we finally broke down and added a fully "off-topic" forum. So, anyone who wants to vent can head on over there. Though pr0n and politics are still not allowed. H Quote
