Well as you can see already, a new skin is up now. I've been working on it for a few days, customizing it and re-adding all the vb hacks we have installed. So I really hope you all like it. :D

A special thanks to my boss.... Serenity, for creating the banner :clap :kiss:...saved me some of my time! *rubs his tired eyes*

You will see a lot of new stuff, old stuff, and things that were removed.

New things:

Activity Monitor in every users sig, showing the users ACTIVITY level. It counts daily activity, weekly, monthly and since you registered.

PM boxes have been changed. I've given people TONS of PM space now. VIP members get double the space, then if they were a regular member.

I added on a new hack called vBLeague, there is a link at the top. Basically it's to create your clans/members etc.. and keep track of games.

We have a new top 5 stats hack. This one is a little more complex and can give us more detailed results. The old one was found to be hackable, hence why I took it off and added this new one.

There is also a PM autoreply... so if you get a PM and are not available, you can use the autoreply. Currently, it is only accessable by staff and VIP members, in the usercp--> options area.

Invites system has been installed. Now you can go into your user cp and invite your friends to join Gamerz-Place! :Trampoline:

If your using IE 6.0 or higher, you'll see a cool effect when you load a page. There are a few types of effects, not sure which one people will like. I've set it up at a default one right now.

Now you can view the people and times when they've viewd your profile. Just go into your usercp and you'll see it near the bottom left of the page.

As people requested Gender Icons have been installed. They will be setup in the new skin shortly. The old skins should both show it near the messanger icons.

You will also notice the new post setup. The user info is now on the RIGHT side of the page, while the posts will be on the left side. I thought it would be cool to flip things around a bit.



Old Things:

I decided to keep the RPG HP/MP/EXP in the posts still.

Flashchat is also working now... I'm not sure if we will use it for LIVE RP's yet or not, but it's working fine and is updated with the newest version out.

The arcades are backup also, I decided to keep it up and running. I may assign a vbaracade manager, so we can have weekly, monthly updated games.

The Awards section is up also and the admins WILL be giving out SPECIAL awards to certain users very soon.

vBPlaza is now also running, so you can change your username/usertitle/color etc.. or buy gifts. I find it easier for the admins, instead of having to change usernames manually all the time.

We still have the RPG up, there are no plans to upgrade to 3.0, till the final version is out. Currently it is still in alpha stages, so I will wait till it's a final version.

Removed Things:

Unfortunetly, the vB Pager was removed. With the PM box size being large now, I don't think we need the Pager anymore. At the same time, I believe not many people used it.


That's all for now folks. If you have any questions or find any bugs/errors with this skin or on the forums etc.. Feel free to contact one of the admins. :Wave:

Yes there have been a ton of changes made. I'd like to thank you and all the staff members here. Couldnt have done it without you Don. ^.^ VIP..the usergroup is slowly starting to get more advantages, so hopefully we can continue along and build it up as we go. Definatly this is a huge step towards new members hopefully.

If you look at the bottom left hand side, there in the posting rules it shows Points you recieve per thread veiw...Per thread posted...and Points for Reply ^.^ It's just a little touch up making it easier to calculate points. Other then that everything looks and works great! Thanks again Don!

yeah what happened to arcade?

The best assumption that can be made is the fact that it did not fully progress with the "updates". In turn, the games have to be redone to fit the new things that were added. It sort of conflicts if you get what I am saying.


As for other things, the new skin does not appear to me. As you may have noticed, most of these hacks are not working. It seems that they co-inside with one another.

These are...

Posting arrangement hack
Activity hack (This may be only visible by admins)
Gender hack is only on one skin


It appears the job is not yet done. =P

The greenfox skin is located in usercp---> options

As for the hacks, they show up for me SV. I logged into your account and see them all working fine.

The activity hack is in everyone's sigs. Or rather UNDER their sig in a HUGE box called "Users Activity"

If you READ my post.. you'd know the gender hack works.. but hasn't been installed yet for this skin.

As for the posting arrangement.. works and seems fine to me. If there was a issue an admin would have noticed it too, or even other members.

Also for the arcades, the actually arcade hack is working. It seems the games need to be reinstalled, which will be done shortly.

Well, nothing appears for me. I am using an updated Mozilla firefox however. If most of this stuff is for IE 6.0 only, then oh well. You only stated one hack was, though.

Hmm odd...because i am Using the newest version of Mozilla Firefox as well..and everything appears to me.


And now it makes sense. These hacks are only on the skin I don't like. -.-"

Oh, well. As long as I can see it. I am sorry for the trouble.

DON said:
The only hack that's not on the old styles is the activity hack. I believe all the rest SHOULD be on the older skins too.


For me, the users appear on the left and the posts are on the right. Totally opposite of the hack you installed. This is on both dark and light. The gender hack is only on the dark, rather than the light.

That is what I have come to discover.

Yes the dark and light skin, both have users on left, posts on right. It's not a hack at all, but a template change.

As for the gender hack, I will be working on that sometime this week.

I think the changes are great, Don. The rest of the staff did an excellent job as well. ^^

I agree with LS, that the site will take some more time to work on. I think RS is continuing to progress through it, unless someone else has taken his position.
