Introducing Yoon's Corner 2.0!

Post by **Yoon** » January 18th, 2006, 8:58 pm

As some of you have noticed, there are some changes going on with YC, such as the addition of the "Post Level Up" system and other minor layout changes. There will be some more changes over the next couple of days.

Later tonight, I'll be introducing a new skin that has a sleek look to it.

Of course, those who don't like the new skin can always use the old skin.

EDIT: Yoon's Corner 2.0 is now COMPLETE! Please check Post #6 of this thread for more details.

Oh yeah, feedback to the new changes are always welcome, as I can always make changes to the forum.

Introducing Yoon's Corner 2.0

A New Way to Browse the Forums

Finally, after hours of work, Yoon's Corner 2.0 is now complete! There have many many changes to the message board, which include:

- The new Vista-inspired Yoon's Corner.
- Former Genso Suikoden and Ragnarok Online skins now use Vista-inspired layout as well.
- Private Messages Panel.
- New look for the navigation bar.
- Addition of the Live Discussion Board.
- New icons for threads, posts, and other areas.
- RPG level up system implemented.
- Addition of Chrono Cross avatars.
- Several other minor changes.

The new Vista-inspired skin is now the default skin for the message board. If you are dissatisfied with the new skin and want to use the old black and blue skin, you may change your skin via Profile > Modify Profile > Select Skin. The old skin is called "Yoon's Corner (2005)." For those that are stuck with the old skin and want to change to the new skin, follow the same steps above, but select either "Yoon's Corner," "Genso Suikoden," or "Ragnarok Online," as all of them use the new Vista-inspired look, with the minor differences being icons and expressions between them.

One big addition is the Live Discussion section, which now allows message board users to chat live with other message board users that are currently browsing the forum. To use Live Discussion, you must have the latest Java Software or a Java SDK/JDK installed, which may be obtained from http://www.java.com/ or http://sun.java.com/.

Since the new layout makes heavy use of JavaScript, there are bound to be some bugs. To avoid most of the bugs, please use Mozilla Firefox 1.5, as Internet Explorer 6 is now a somewhat outdated, insecure web browser compared to other web browsers out there. If you encounter any bugs, please let me know. Some bugs have been discovered already, which include over-bolded text in the News table for Internet Explorer users, as well as the blended links in the Members section.

I couldn't have done this massive update without the help from the folks over at ProBoards Support. Thanks guys!

Like I said last night, looks good!

Thanks guys.

There are still some bugs that need to be worked out, but all in all, it's pretty much complete. I might change a few things here and there over the next couple of weeks.

Oh yeah, if some of the folder icons look very bizarre or out of place, refresh the page or clear your Internet cache. We discovered that some of the old icons from the old skin were loading instead of the new icons because of the cached web graphics in the browser.

EDIT: Since the default skin has been changed to the new Yoon's Corner skin, a lot of people's skins have reverted back to the Ragnarok Online skin, which uses the same Vista-inspired theme but uses the Ragnarok Online icon set instead of the Vista icon set. If you wish to use the Vista icon set instead of the Ragnarok Online icon set, change your skin to "Yoon's Corner."
