Forum:New skin

In case of the people that haven't noticed the new skin on Halopedia, right now... many people do not seem to like the new black skin for Halopedia. I know I stand for everyone, but unfortunately, the log-in page, other several other special pages, userboxes, and a ton of other pages with skins are harder to read, because the font just blends into the darker skin. Progress wheels look like spinning broken projector slides, and some templates, like the character templates' words can't be read as easily. Some sigs with dark color can't be identified as well! Above all, I think new users won't be able to decrypt the welcome template... :P (By now, I've upsetted many people)

If these problems, can be fixed, I would favor the new Halopedia. :) --B le mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif TALK TO A PERSON YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT • CONTRIBUTIONS OF A PERSON YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT 09:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Blemo's Thoughts of the New Skin

 * I'm working on fixing those things right now. If anyone wants to help (see my post in the new forum), get on the IRC please. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Spartan781's Thoughts
I really feel that this is REALLY RIDICULOUS. I can't see any of the words on my page. Black is tough on the eyes. Can it get more ridiculous than this? Please take into consideration Halopedia's interests, instead of just yours (the guy who changed it)--Sp <font color="DarkGray">art <font color="Gray">an- <font color="Black">781  CommCSV 09:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Dude, the whole reason I did this was in Halopedia's interest, not mine. Please think a little bit about what you're going to say before saying it--I feel like I'm about to cry. Also, white on dark gray usually isn't very hard to read--it's just your talk page, your coding, your fault. I'm working on fixing this, although I could use some help. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Simon rjh hopes he's editing the right forum cos its hard to see
I don't like it. As I mentioned on the new forum, it hurts my eyes, and I agree with Blemo that it makes a lot of pages difficult to read.

If it hurts your eyes, I can do personal requests to revert it, but I'd rather have the default darker, like Bungie.net. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

ChurchReborn's thoughts about the new skin
i hate it cause you CAN NOT read anything, and i have Dial-Up and now I HAVE TO WAIT LONGER THAN I HAVE TO BEFORE and that bugs me!


 * Yes, you CAN read, just not on talk pages where Blemo, Spartan781, and other people messed up the coding. I am working on fixing that. No, you don't have to wait longer than before, as I did not add anything--I only changed it. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Manticore's thoughts
It's playing havoc with my watchlist, and colours such as black specified in signatures are now difficult to read. Links are difficult to distinguish from normal text. I'd rather have the old skin back. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 09:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * A good example of a bad sig would be Manticore's right here. --<font color="#D3D3D3">B <font color="#A9A9A9">le <font color="#808080">mo http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">CONTRIBUTIONS 09:45, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Templates and userboxes are also completely disrupted. See my user page for an example. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 09:48, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm working on fixing things. I didn't have the oppurtunity to check the watchlist, which is why I made the skin for everyone. Thank you for contributing to this project, Manticore. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

MCPO's personal view
Gosh, what have they done! I can't read a S***!

1. I'm not so fat as to be categorized as more than one person. 2. Please actually tell me where you can't read. Most of these problems are due to everyone else's errors by using inline code to change stuff around, and I am working on fixing it.

SPARTAN-387's thoughts.
Let's just say when i came back to my computer after a couple of hours, I thought we had a major vandal problem. I like the dark backegroundish thing, but i cant stand the silver template writing. Change the writing to a bolder color i.e. red, green, (bright)blue, etc... and im okay with it. just not the silver writing.  Chieftain Maccus  Comm  12:17, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Silver template writing? Huh... where'd you see that? Also, vandals can't do that--only admins. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Ryan's Thoughts
It just looks pretty bad and it messes up a lot of things from what i have just seen in 3 mins. It messes up peoples sigs, its hard to read the silver text in templates, hard to read links, its horrible for userboxes. It seems to throw things off and kinda looks newbish. All around the white background looks and is better for Halopedia.-- UNSCoH   General   "Running   Riot"   Ryan    BAM  12:40, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

In which templates do you see silver? Also, I'm still working on things, although userboxes were fixed. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:12, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

SPARTAN-077's suggestions
The new skin is a horrible messer-upper, reverting it would make the Wiki alot easier to use!

=For the new skin=

= Comments =

Why in the fuck did you guys create a duplicate forum? I already linked EVERYONE in the IRC chat to http://halo.wikia.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=66&sid=06f97bd99a32b45736c49e981278365f, so there was NO reason for you guys to post here. I am going to ignore EVERY comment in this thread, and ONLY read from the ones that won't eventually be deleted--that is, the ones in the NEW forum, because as EVERY one of you should know, these forums are going. Just so everyone knows, these problems CAN and WILL be fixed--problems with unreadable talk pages are due to their owners using non-default background colors and are therefore not my problem, but I'm going to fix them anyway. Right now I've got to go to school, but they WILL be fixed by the end of the day, because I'm just that good. Now, everyone, PLEASE use the new forum so your posts won't be deleted, because they WILL be if they're only put here. Or maybe I'll just move it over myself, latar... meh. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 13:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * A wholly inappropriate response. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  14:34, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * ED, I'm sorry. It's just that I've been putting a LOT of work into Halopedia recently, and having all of my work undone and being pissed at by everyone is not my idea of anyone even appreciating the effort involved. To add to that, I was late to school this morning and had to wait for another ride, and was already pissed, and I vented some of my frustration back at the community. I am sorry. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 21:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree. Not everyone likes, and/or uses the new forums, like me. This forum is better for those people.  Phil.e.   [Talk to me] 21:23, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikia doesn't care--the old forums WILL be deleted, so you guys should use the new forums instead. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 21:41, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Is it Wikia, or you that doesn't care?  Phil.e.   [Talk to me] 22:29, 13 August 2007 (UTC)


 * As I just said, Wikia doesn't care. You guys don't trust me, and that REALLY hurts my feelings. I wouldn't lie to you to get the old forums deleted, you know... ='( -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
