On the XBox theme, avatars seem to have a white background behind them. I specifically made my avatar a PNG with transparency so that it wouldn't have a white background.   Any chance you could make the default avatar background color the same as the posts? Then transparency effects would work.

Edit - 

just to make sure you know what I'm talking about: the white background behind my avatar here:

is a part of the theme, it seems, because the image itself doesn't have that white background, as you can see here, when it's embedded on a black background:

or here in a post, it takes on the color of the background:

This doesn't seem to be the case on the other themes... on all of the other themes, the background color is the same as the post color.

hell yeah dude

Could you edit in a "volume warning" to your post? Bloody hell, my ears!

Yeah I'm using the Xbox theme now too; it's by far my favorite. Excellent work, @Emblazon!

Might be GoT inspired.

 

Good point. So either way, it's medieval as fuck!  

I agree, this should be an ongoing pinned thread.  

The one thing I don't quite understand is why in some of these videos people actually shouting "shame, shame!" at the person. That just makes me laugh, because it reminds me of the "witch" scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Yesterday was an insane day for me.

 

The Franklin Institute has their Game Masters Exhibit going on right now, and they invited local developers to share their work, so I jumped on it. It’s such an insane feeling to see others enjoying your work.

That's awesome, man, congrats, that must be such a rewarding feeling!  How many people were able to play your game? Were they able to provide some useful feedback as well?

We need an official white people being afraid of minorities thread. Then we'd also have a place to dump the story of a guy that was trying to protect a gated community from a black woman that lived in it.

Is anyone else getting an "access denied" error for this link? Maybe because I'm in freaky deaky Deutschland... 

We had this before the boards decided to send us back to D1P's Stone Age  and I figured it has been a while since I've seen some of your lovely mugs.  So let's have an updated thread!

Here's me in Portugal a couple months ago:

I was a little sad at first but now, to be honest, I'm actually happy that the boards shit the bed. There's nothing like a fresh start! We let the past die and didn't even have to kill it.  

Sounds great! I'm definitely in for this, I loved the first one. Evangeline Lilly

Sorry, for some reason that sidebar area seems to be connected with the rest of the site. There doesn't seem to be any CSS that I can see that allows me to ONLY affect the Unread content area. So when I make the change to full width for Unread content, the entire sidebar on the home page goes poof. I'm not entirely sure why they thought that linking multiple sections was a good idea. I have to get back to getting other themes up and running, but I'll circle back to the Unread content at some point.

My issue was the icon for tabs in a browser, but I'll go ahead and tag @Nokt since your reply seems to be for him.

Well, technically there are no other themes yet. 

I'll go ahead and give this a "like" since I see you fixed it. Thank you, sir!

@Emblazon I'm not sure if this is an issue for you or @Jason but on the SNES theme, there seem to be icons missing for browser tabs:

Maybe not such a high priority at the moment but I noticed that it's missing and figured I'd say something. Thank you both!

Edit - I checked on the other themes and it's missing there, too, FYI. 

I know it's not at all new to say so, but the Republican party has really been hijacked. Obviously it's merely anecdotal, but... My parents are lifelong conservatives, have always voted strictly Republican in every election (AFAIK), live in rural Idaho, etc., and even they didn't vote for Trump and in fact voted for Hillary.

I think it's great that Will is following his conscience and has the courage of his convictions. It's too bad that most of the people who need to read his piece in the Washington Post the most are likely part of the TL:DR crowd.  

Yeah regardless of how well demarcated the border was, 2 weeks' retention seems very excessive and inefficient. As soon as the mother provided the necessary documentation that seems like it should have been the end of it. 

Today I've been trying to work on a programming project for school, but am not very focused. As evidenced by the fact that I'm here.  

Congrats on the new job! What made you switch, @Zarich ? Just wanting a change? Better commute? Better pay? 

I understand the words you're using, but I don't understand why you're using those words. 

We're now "The Conners", and the old shitty boards were Roseanne. 

Hit me with your best shot!

You could make Norka official.

Norka?

If anyone has any ideas, I'm open to suggestions.

Reading(audiobook) Good Omens. 

 

Just finished the 1st Dark Tower book and I wasn’t really that impressed. Was kinda boring and the ending seemed abrupt. 

I remember also not being particularly impressed with the first Dark Tower book, but they get better and better (until about book five or six and then they plateau). Book four (Wizard and Glass) was one of my favorite books I'd read in recent memory, so I'm glad that I stuck with it. Up to you of course, if you have a lot of other books to get to it may not be worth the time investment, but personally I loved them once I got through the first book.

That sounds fascinating. Added to my wishlist.

 

I'm reading Iron Gold, the 4th book in the Red Rising series.

Awesome, I'll be very curious to know what you think of it once you get to it. 

@dualhunter I think the problem was just that it has a white background, so viewing your avatar on any darker-colored theme shows an obvious border:

Here's a version of your avatar with the white background removed:

 Since I was only able to get the image from your current avatar the quality may not be the best, but at least it doesn't have the border on the darker themes. If you have a larger, higher-res version of the image I'm happy to fix that instead.

Edit - 

Here's what the cleaned-up version looks like on the black theme:

Yet another case of @SFLUFAN do you remember what the old setting was?

I was the one who set it in the AdminCP way back when. I think I raised it to 50. Either 50 or unlimited.  

My name is pretty shit, in all honesty. I would love to change it, given the new site, but laziness prevails.
