New Layout: DISCUSS

[Twilight Wolf]

TDC New Full looks awesome on my monitor. Not many forums out there take advantage of all my screen real estate so this is a pleasant change.

The theme itself is awesome too, by the way. It retains the old TDC feel but simplifies it and gives it a modern twist. Pretty much perfect.

This.  KP, you magnificent bastard, you've done it again.

Thanks for the compliments, guys. I was hoping to go for a good compromise between the old layout and a new one. Maybe if the site's layout ever gets a complete overhaul, I'll make a completely original forum layout to go with it. For now I'm happy with this one, too.

Oh, I restored the old smileys, by the way. 

[Twilight Wolf]

Ah, so good to have the old smilies back :3

However, I'm running into a bit of an issue with the forums now, unfortunately. For whatever reason the forums simply will NOT keep me signed in even if I set the time to "forever." This only happens on Opera. All the other forums I go to I have no problems with. Heck, even my Nook Color's web browser remembers to keep me signed in. Is the forum taking issue with my web browser or is it some setting I have to play with on my end?

I had the same problem before, when I put the URL as "http://www.desercolossus.com/forum/index.php".  But when I dropped the "www" it allowed me to log in.  I don't understand why that happened or if that is useful information to you but I hope it helps.

Whenever I come to the colossus, all I have to do is hit the home button, and it logs me in. Hope that helps.

Possibly your Web browser, as I'm fairly certain that your user data is stored in a cookie, which I'm sure a few browsers handle differently anyway. Do you have your cookies set to expire after a certain time?

Does this mean you've been using IE all this time!?

I have to agree with MF, it's probably a problem with Opera's cookie settings. I'd suggest just using another browser? Or if you're attached to Opera, check your settings and make sure that cookies determine their own lifetime.

Every last minute. Hey, at least it wasn't Firefox 7.

Needless to say, all the problems I had with the site went away when I switched.

[Pale Dim]

Who uses IE anymore? God, you do need to be shot! And my sister uses Firefox 7, she doesn't have any problems with it. Hey, at least it's not Firefox Vista. Imagine the nightmare...

Anyway, I think I like this layout a lot better. I tried it out on my Wii a few nights ago, it works pretty well.

[Hi no Seijin]

My parents still uses IE. >>

Gods, I think it's time I start robbing banks so I can have bribe money to give to employers.  But first I'll have to escape to Switzerland and get work on the Large Hadron Collider experiments.  I'll go back in time, create the LHC, and get rich off of it.  That way, I won't have to rob banks.  And since the LHC already exists, I know I'm guaranteed to succeed in robbing those banks!

So, yeah, layout.  You guys know where at the top it goes "Home    Help    Search    Profile    My Messages    Members    Logout"?  Sometimes, it shows up as a vertical list for me.  It's not a problem, so you don't have to rush to fix it; I was just wondering if it does that for someone else.

I had that problem too, it went away when I got chrome.

This worked. Led me to discover the URL for TDC in my Speed Dial was still the old "colossus.rhidia.ch" address. Updated that and it works no problem now.
