Captain Z Mobile Ops Commander USA 637 Posts	Posted - 04 Nov 2001 : 21:03:20 Nice job on the forums. Only thing I would recommend changing is some of the colors. For example, the reply screen I have right now shows Dark Gray lettering with a Royal Blue background. It makes it hard to see what it says there.

Once I get off my duff, I'll eMail ya ~Coxy ;) All in all not to bad a Forum engine, infact I admire the 'advanced' text-handling tags not found in MAFs. The only qualm is that the replay interface is kinda 'cluttered', nut I'm sure I'll get used to it. Brigadier MacScuzzy 68K Macintosh Liberation Army Total 68K Macs liberated:5

FireWire is fast General, 4 star USA 1559 Posts	Posted - 06 Nov 2001 : 18:10:36 oh yeah, almost forgot mods for individual forum sections need to be assigned too...I'd be willing to head up "Quadra/Centris". Being the owner of several Quadras (including a Centris 610), my knowledge is vast. whoever is going to head up "Original Macs" need to be very familar with the innards of these compact macs (specifically CRT stuff - analog board, crt itself, etc..) and the tear-apart (which can be very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing). Personally, i have no knowledge of that so it would obviously need to be someone else Similarly, the head of the PowerBook section need to be familar with the innards and general logisitics, which are significantly different than a desktop mac. Once again. I have no experience with PowerBooks so another man needs that job.... FireWire is fast General, 4 star 68k Macintosh Liberation Army
FireWire is fast General, 4 star USA 1559 Posts	Posted - 06 Nov 2001 : 18:32:46 I made a much much much much much more subdued logo for the forums...tell me what you think (don't worry, we can go all out on the regular website logo later) http://homepage.mac.com/mla68k/forums.gif while i was at it i made a replacedment for the logout picture (it kinda clashed with...well everything) http://homepage.mac.com/mla68k/forumslogout.gif ~Coxy, do you think these could be suitable replacements?

Once again. I have no experience with PowerBooks so another man needs that job.... I would gladly do the Powerbook section. As some of you know, I own 4 different Powerbooks, the 145, 180c, 230, and 520c. I have completely disassembled and reassembled all these units without a problem, and I am familiar with all the major and a good portion of the minor aspects of the Powerbooks. If anything, the only area I don't have experience in is with the 150 and 190 (which are only slightly different than the other models out there. ------------------ Captain Z - Sniper 68K Macintosh Liberation Army 17 68K Macs Liberated
~Coxy Leader, Tactical Ops Unit Australia 2822 Posts	Posted - 06 Nov 2001 : 22:00:14 OK, now taking applications for the moderatorships of the specific mac forums... I don't see any problem with the reply screen? What browser are you using, and where exactly is it unreadable? I'll try to fix it. New logo should be up... yep, it is!

If I can't have that forum I can take what ever you give me. If you could It would be great if you could add a Newton forum. If you would do that I could moderate that.

Morpheus Starting Member USA 1 Posts	Posted - 07 Nov 2001 : 20:01:01 Hello all! I'm new at this, but I thought I'd give it a shot since I have 20 some macs (I'd have to go count, and I don't want to right now), at least 17 of which are 68k. I like the way this is all set up, but as was pointed out, software forums would be nice. Just thought I'd give my two cents (or three, or four...)
