Post all things related to our relocation from jasoco.net to thasodd.com.
Needs to be fixed:
The links under "Active Topics" are all for jasoco.net.
We don't need a link to Jasoco.net at the top anymore.
Wrong avatars.
Would be cool:
Our own subdomain (http://geekpub.thasodd.com).
Admin rights so I can fix this place up.
Yeah. Things will fall back into place over time. I got my 60 day notice a few days ago about my domain name so it's been only 30 days since we started this. Not bad.
I'll fix the rest.
I don't get why it's wrong avatars though. I downloaded the folder this time and uploaded it straight to the new place. Geeze. Avatars must hate us. Well, off to upload my new avatar once again.
Well, Clark. You're an Admin. I hope you like it because now I can't demote you for some reason.
Well hello! I hope this server can handle the load.
Before I go ahead and give us the sub domain I want to make sure that's what we want.
If you guys are interested in growing this site, let me know.
everything wasn't deleted...thats a relief
we need an icon again its just a blank page in firefox
I'm all for a geekpub.thasodd.com. If your host 1and1 and your domain name provider allows them without charging you an arm and a leg.
I'm very happy with the transfer. It went a lot smoother than I thought. Thanks to Boyd who jumped in and did all the hard work when the direct transfer wasn't working.
Sorry about the avatars once again. Ugh! I am so sick of those things! They keep coming back!
We're all for growing as far as your host can handle. Obviously we won't be a NeoGAF or a Penny-Arcade. Not even my host would have handled that. Still.. Some more people would be cool.
Also, check out the old URL and let the page sit for 70 seconds. Hehehehe... I'm a stinker.
I'm forever haunted by the world's most giant doctor.
It keeps coming back! And I've lost my hair again!
lol thats why i dont even bother changing my avatar anymore
It'll never happen again!* I promise!
*Not a guarantee
Ok, we'll have a subdomain tomorrow then.
Let's put things into perspective about our growth. I think we can achieve 100% growth (That twice our members). So that's what 2 dozen users? 
Seriously though, let's get a few more peeps in here. Might be hard with everyone Twittering and Facebooking.
I took the opportunity to refresh my avatar, the Hulk was glorious while he lasted. Now for the love of my life.
Switching to a FaceBook Group called GeekPub was my last resort if everything else failed. Which it didn't so that idea is on hold for a while. 
I got a spiffy new avatar, as well.
Yeah, it would be nice to get some more active members here. That's the only growth I'm looking for.
I figured out the avatar problem. Some of our avatars were uploaded as JPG and some as PNG later. Since I downloaded the new stuff and unknowingly merged it with the old stuff, I uploaded doubles of some of it and in the case of myself, I had a .JPG that was the short hair one and a .PNG that has long hair. But the software defaults to JPG first and goes to PNG and GIF next if it doesn't see a JPG. Hahaha... Sheesh. No big deal. I knew I did it right! Silly little mistake!
Clark, I still have your Spongebob avatar, but I assume you have moved on. Still, I still have it! And I still have my old one too.....
Edit: And as it turns out, only a couple of us had duplicates.
Haha. I might want that avatar to use later.
Well, I guess I didn't need admin status. You can't do anything. How do you edit the layout of punBB? As in, graphically. I want to make it sexy.
Oh, for that you'd need to edit the code. So... yeah.. no. But if you really want to do some stuff, show me some ideas and I'll give you the code and upload it for you. Since I'm not going to provide you with access to Boyd's server. lol
What exactly do you want to change? I can give you a sample theme to modify if you know how to do CSS.
Well, I like the layout for the most part, so I guess I'll just tell you what to do. Haha.
Speech bubbles for the new posts indicator like we used to have.
Get rid of the ridiculous emoticon overload above the quick reply.
Ditch the taglines. They're annoying.
I'm making a header for the top, I'll upload it when I'm done.

1: I'm working on it, but since this isn't table anymore, it's not that easy.
2: I want to find a JS that allows me to plop them all in a pull-down box list thingy.
3: Yeah.. but they're like our legacy?
4: Do it!
Well, if everyone else likes the taglines, too, that's cool. But if not, I would not miss them.
i don't mind the taglines but the rest are good ideas
Things lookin hawt, B!
I thought we were getting an easier link though? it's preety much the same...
we need an icon again its just a blank page in firefox
ASAP; it's messing with the look of my toolbar.
Subdomain is up and working now.
geekpub.thasodd.com
The icon would be up to Boyd now. I have the file he can have it, but I'm not sure how to get it to become the icon automatically.
ASAP.
Use Firefox.
Install an extension that allows you to assign a custom icon to a bookmark.
Assign a custom icon to the bookmark.
This is the icon:
http://www.jasoco.net/favicon.ico
Let me try something.... maybe right now.
Did it work? The icon should show up now. And only for GeekPub, not for the main site above it.
Yeah, it worked. Thanks.
The subdomain doesn't really work, though. It loads the main forum page, but I'm logged out, but everything redirects to thasodd.com/geekpub, where I'm logged in.
Yeah, but I don't really think there's anything we can do to fix that. It's probably a simple free redirect. We'll have to live with it. Not like it's a big deal. You can still access the forum from either URL as well as a link on my new Blog.
I think things are going so well I am gonna see how much more time I have on my FourBucks bill before they rebill me again. I have about 60 days for the URL's, www.jasoco.net, so change your bookmarks. But not sure how much time for my host.
Yeah. Oh well.
Question: why do you always add weird long-ass subtitles to other people's threads?
Because long-ass titles stand out much better than short ones, and because this is official now. So why not?
Apparently the last time I was billed was on March 29th. They bill me every 3 months. So it looks like I have about the same time before both end. So thats good. I'll inform FB that "at the end of my current billing cycle, I must regretfully cancel my plan."
Clark.. did you delete your post? Because I got an email.. but the post isn't here!
Clark.. did you delete your post? Because I got an email.. but the post isn't here!
Yeah, I messed up. It's there now.
I like the second, but I think the shadow is too much. Can we get one without the shadow? These are PNG's with complete alpha transparency, right?
I don't know what "alpha transparency" means, but yes.
So.. can the shadow go? Drop shadows are so passé. Unless it's a drop shadow with a 5px by 5px offset and 0px spread. Actually, can I get the PSD? I'll do some tweaking in PhotoShop myself. (I have CS3 now. Which makes me miss some of the features PS7 had that they took out. Also for some reason it resets its palette locations every other launch for no fucking reason. And fucking hell, what's with the Bridge and Device Central apps?)
Hehe... 69 users.
Clark: I like the third one.
Also, I like drop shadows, as long as they're very light. Still, it might look a little weird seeing as the whole forum is now flat. I might make some too.
Edit: If the taglines get removed, we could have a logo that changes with each new visit, but the option could be turned off.
Also, I could just generally help out, although I only really know CSS.
Jasoco used to have a logo that changed every time the page loaded, but that was a while back.
@Jasoco: I just wanted something basic, so I didn't really do much aside from scourge dafont.com for cool ones. Thus, not really a .PSD worth sending. All I did was type "GeekPub" in white and add a black outline.
Ok so it took me a bit to catch up on all the posts since lunch.
The icon works for me, is that still an issue?
The subdomain is just a redirect to a folder location. We have to change the punbb settings for it to show otherwise. For example my wordpress site is entirely in a wordpress folder but you never see that.
I may have missed something, anything else I need to do?
I dont know if anyone will use it, but instead of making a logo I remade the icon as huge... Not really sure why.
Made it in Flash, so when I exported it to a png i didn't really realize how big 150dpi would make it. Made it half size cause it was annoying me.
I also have a lot of really cool fonts that might work for our logo too. I'm eating right now but I'll type up some samples later.
Edit:
I've got some pretty cool fonts too. Continuing with my idea, if the logos had the same effects (ie. white with black stroke for Clark's) but changed fonts it might be quite nice.
I like the 2nd one, Clark.
The first one doesn't fit in.
i like the first one, maybe the third one
I like the first and second one (with little or no shadow).
I'd like to see a logo with a little more effort than just a neat font.
And on that matter, I wouldn't mind a change to the styling. Get some smoother edges around some of the boxes here. Make things a bit sleeker.
im glad we go the icon back my bookmarks bar looked like crap without it
@Jasoco: I have those fonts, but don't think they work very well.
We should just use the shadow-less one I did for now. If someone wants to make something badass we can update it when the time comes.
How about something kind of like what I did for my new Blog?
But with greys or other colors instead of the blue and orange.
I'll whip something up. Maybe the logo could change randomly? Everyone could make their own version if they want and it will change between them as a replacement for the taglines.
I love that idea. Everyone would have to make a png without a background, though, or make it have soft edges.
Maybe I'll give the logo a try. I have 2 days off and I can't play on Xbox Live because we switched to Clearwire and they suck ass.
Make it as big as you can. I will resize them when they're done to fit whatever size top header I end up making. The bigger it is, the more I have to work with.

whats that font and where do i get it?
edit: apparently its all one pic so I want the second from the bottom
Jas, what do you use to install styles? I would straight upload my own, but the folder structure of the package and that on the server are different. I didn't want to fuck anything up so I didn't try.
I like this style.
http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?pid=22834#p22834
Also, I did make a subdomain for this place, can you change punbb to use it? I thought that's why we wanted it.
That's good, although I really think we should have our own unique style. That was always something I liked about this forum. If we do do (hehe) that style, however, y'all should at least give an option to switch colors.
Sorry I didn't realise it would change for the whole board. I thought we could each have our own styles. Can we not? We can really only change colors?
And this is not a unique look either.
This is the punBB default, isn't it?
You'll need a theme for 1.3. Not 1.2 or lower. The theming system was streamlined for the newer version. They rebuilt the entire forum structure including how stuff was displayed and stored in the SQL database. Anything before 1.3 won't work.
The file structure is as follows:
Name/
Name.css - The layout CSS. Keep this separate from the colors.
Name_cs.css - CS stands for Color Scheme. Keep the color selections separate from the structure layout.
feed-icon.png - Keep this. It's just an RSS icon. It's not needed, frankly they should have made this shared, but whateder.
index.html - Just a blank HTML file you don't touch. It is to keep prying eyes out of the folder
Name_ie6.css - Put any IE6 hacks in here
Name_ie7.css - Put any IE7 hacks in here
Name.php - This defines all the CSS files you will be using.
Most likely the only files you will change are the first two.
Use this as a starting point unless you find a site that allows you to make a theme yourself for 1.3.

Jasoco, I made us a subdomain. I may host the forums but I don't administer them, so you gotta change it. I only get 1 free subdomain, I know I didn't use it for nothing.
Looking up at that quote from futurama, I realize now that if we don't have rotating taglines then we shouldn't have one at all. Unfortunately, though, it does fit there quite nicely, and there isn't really something other than a tagline or a slogan we could put up there.

i agree either they rotate or none at all, just my 2 cents
Whatever you guys want. I like the tags though. But only if I can work them up there better. Some are just too long and might have to be removed. Taglines are best as short one liners.
Okay. Well that was a crisis avoided. Last night we hit a hiccup.
I opened the Config.php file to see if I could get the URL working right with the net geekpub.thasodd.com URL instead of www.thasodd.com/geekpub
What I didn't know is while the config on the server was right, I still had the old FourBucks configuration information on my computer. So I modified my file and uploaded it over the correct one.
Since I didn't have that information and Boyd changed the password to his Admin panel, I was locked out.
My bad.
Now I have the info in an email and the config is correct on both sides. It won't happen again.
ALSO, the new URL works. It works!
Use it!
Click Index at the top. Use that as your new bookmark.
It appears both URL's work. Both geekpub.thasodd.com and www.thasodd.com/geekpub. But both have separate cookies so you will need to log into either one if you use both.
But from now on the URL will be the new one.
So switch to it and log in. The redirect will take you to the right place.
Shorter URL. Very nice.
Edit: Only problem is for some reason the new domain doesn't show the favicon anymore. 
Nevermind. Fixed it!
Excellent! Thanks, jas.
Maybe I'll give the logo a try. I have 2 days off and I can't play on Xbox Live because we switched to Clearwire and they suck ass.
I decided I'm too lazy to download photoshop 
http://www.dot.tk/en/pageA00C1A.html
you could have free domain names
my blogspot i just made (which jason helped design besides the colors) is
www.ameermusa.tk
I tend to superstitiously feel that .tk's are a little sketchier 'cause they're free and something about their host just gives off that vibe.
yeah but its easy to remember www.geekpub.tk
Hey Boyd. I can't login to the server to upload or modify the forum. I wanted to replace the shitty favicon we use because it is wrong. (Notice how it is a 32x32 icon with a 16x16 image in it instead of taking up the whole size of the favicon it should?) Is there a problem? Or a change?
A new post on GeekPub!
Blasphemy!
I haven't been here since June! And you thought I would see your post ... and that I did is fucking amazing.
I just dropped by to see how everyone was doing. What do you need from me jas?
