October 6th 2009 Updates

Console Discussions V3 Background
Now via the UserCP you can change the Console Discussions V3 theme's background to whatever you like.

Dimensions: You should use wallpapers or other images that are the same resolution as your computer, otherwise if it's too small you will see blank space. Too big is ok, you just won't see all of it. To see your computer's resolution, right click the desktop, go to properties, and click settings. Below will say Screen Resolution and something like 1280x1024. Now in google just type 1280x1024 wallpapers, download the one you want, and then just upload it to an image host like imageshack.us.

Here is what mine looks like:

You've Got Mail
Yea you heard right... If you logged on with Notifications and heard this, you aren't tripping. I've coded a script to play the You've Got Mail sound on the forum homepage when you have new Notifications.

Don't like it? No problem, it can be disabled via the UserCP.

Note: If any people using the V1 or V2 theme want this, let me know and I'll port it over.

The you've got mail thing can be helpful, I've noticed most of the time I won't see that I have a notification/PM until a day or two later. If that plays then I'll know, so that's cool. And yes please port that over to the V1 and V2, I still use V1 so it would be helpful. The only reason I use V1 is because it is familiar, that's the way CD looked when I joined.

I said forum homepage. The alert isn't on the homepage, it's on the forum homepage. I set it up so the alert plays once on the forum homepage only. It won't play while you are viewing topics and such.

Lol, poor, poor Sony. So far behind in technology, they have to keep releasing PSPs that have no internet options. My iTouch can even hear it lol...

Re: October 6th 2009 Updates

looks like some good updates
the only thing i can think of that still needs to be changed is the server... since sometimes the server gets too busy which is very annoying.. But I realize its not easy\cheap to get a better server.

I have most of the maintenance for cleaning up the forums, running in the mornings, so if you're on at 3-4 A.M. then that's probably why.

Anyway check out October 23rd 2009 Updates.
