MillieCorp carries out a hostile take over of Define Cynical

[baloki]

Recently Millie Corp carried out a hostile take over of Define Cynical, many people were killed and there were many, many job losses due to the increased production in exploding bath ducks.

Ok, so in truth it may just be a new forum skin that I've tricked likeafoox into install, but still BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So if you want to switch to it just go to preferences and change the forum style to Corporate Stance

Love the skin. Just one minor criticism - hyperlinks within posts are indistinguishable from normal text without mouseovering. Or at least, not easially distinguishable.

Not sure if I mean "Click here" style or just "The link to it is www.google.com so if you want to see..." style. The result of this post will find out, I guess.

Edit - apparantly, it's only if the url is inputted as a url rather than just typed in without the url tag, ze hell?

[baloki]

Ah I know what the problem is, I must have set the url to #ffffff as deafault for the menu, likeafoox could you change it to #ff0000 for me?

[Gizensha]

Just found another problem with it - hyperlinks in quotes not showing up. But I suspect that that's another ramification of the same problem, really.

[likeafox]

Okay I changed something, I'm not sure if it's what you wanted, but the links should be differentiable from normal text.

Except for in my sig, of course. I'll... Go change the colour of the text in that now, aheh.

Is it just me or is there no way to reach your preferences (thus no way to switch away from the skin unless you know the preferences url)?

The menu up top appears to use the default browser font, which is a no-no, because it's usually Times New Roman or some other ugly font. :/ You should always explicitly declare fonts and colors (and margins etc) to ensure a similar look across all browsers.

Also the logo on the side is an interesting look but it leaves a LOT of unused space on that side that's impossible to fill up right. [Edit: It doesn't happen in threads so it's forgivable, but it DOES overlap stuff which looks bad. Make it transparent.]

I would recommend, instead, to remove Millie from that image and stick her in the header somewhere, so the side space wasted is significantly thinner.

Is this based off another skin? I have a feeling it is but I'm not sure.

[Tum0spoo]

Everything under Preferences in the DC skin is under Profile in the Millie Corp skin.

[baloki]

Declaring fonts = bad for assessibility reasons unless you plan to do the three tier declaration system. Also no I did the coding myself and just butchered the subsilver code to extract the bits I needed however it is slopply coded and I am looking into recoding parts of it to make it look a bit better but when it comes to forum skins I'm better doing it in chunks, dunno why :/

Why's everyone ganging up on Times New Roman for?

[baloki]

Arial is so much cooler >_>

[Muninn]

Arial isn't bad, but when I browse the fonts in Word I find so many I could do without. I think Times New Roman isn't the best, but it's certainly not the worst.

Verdana's better

I post an update for you:

Trouble with Times New Roman, like all non-sans serif fonts (that's fonts without ticky bits, not the font Sans Serif which is merely an example of a sans serif font), is that it is awful for dyslexics to read.

Looks nicer than Arial, though, yes.
