Ok cool.
FXDude wrote: 17 Sep 2017, 22:57 For the width, how about if everything was limited (and centered) if resized wider than a certain width?

And what if the BG stayed fixed? (with evertyhing sliding on top when scrolling)

or better yet, does PhpBB support some of those nifty 'parallax' (half scrolling speed) backgrounds ? :) :-?

That fixed bg effect is just one css line, just added :) hmm.. actually the gradient still scrolls, but I think that might even look good.

The centering effect is there already, but kicks in only at large screen sizes like 4K.I think I should go a little lower so even people on FullHD have some comfy margins at the sides :D

:) Did you find some way of contacting JoLab about the background picture? He's super anonymous it appears. I guess it's okay using it with the credit, but I'll be keeping an eye out for some alternative bg pics.

Hi, I previously sent him a PM on deviant art (no answer yet), and just did some more searching, and I think I found his contact, and sent him an email.

Until then, how about putting the 'JoLab' credits at the top (or perhaps not way at the bottom)?

And ... he was very nice, but he was another XSI user who's first/last name matched the acronym.

cheers Janosch!

If I can't come up with some other bg soonish, I'll put some nice JoLab tag in the picture (top part)

I’m sorry I didn’t answer sooner; I just saw your message. If it’s not too late I would be honor for my art to be featured on si-community, one of my favorite sites.

Let me know if I’m not too late and thanks for your interest in my work.

Regards,

I was looking for a new background image for this site but it's difficult to find anything that is large enough an at the same time has some interesting stuff going on in the little area that shows around the header. Any ideas? *-:)

I removed all CDN (content delivery network) connections from this website and made them local:

* fontAwesome (delivered all icons on this site)
* google webfonts (most fonts used)
* jQuery (jscript library used by some site functions like SI resource section)

Also the board was updated from 3.2.5 to 3.2.8, the last versions included a lots of security fixes, so this was overdue.
Also all plugins (imgur upload, quickreply, media embed, board announcement, lightbox, topic solved) were updated for the first time over a year so there might be some new features too.

let me know in case there's issues related with that \m/

Thanks I think it fits pretty cool in the dark scheme.

I wonder if it's possible to have the head of the robot always in frame, using some negative percentage offsets maybe. Will check when I have some time
