Subject: A Waste of Time?

- Mike

Hmmm... Changing the nav bar would get rid of the tracks on the right side...
That would change the theme builder since that is a major part of theme building....
All makes sence.

It is highly unlikely any more themes of the current format will be accepted. Connect this to my previous statement about the bottom nav bar and you might guess why.
I know you don't often reply more than once in a single thread, but I would ask you to reply to this post.

Are you saying that the format for groups and possibly the website will be changing? Or is that a stretch? Or can you not specify...


Well, I obviously don't know any more than you. But, in my opinion, changing the nav bar is a fairly serious change. I would imagine that while he's at it, he would also be making some other serious changes that would go along with it.

Also, he says It is highly unlikely any more themes of the current format will be accepted.(emphasis added)

That implies, at least to me, that there will be some other format in the future.
That is what I figured he means, that there will be format changes. However, it is always nice to have official word.

Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Yeah, I know. But I felt like throwing my two cents in. Especially since, given his last post, it looks like he might decide to be cryptic about this. Since he told us to put it together ourselves.

Ah, I don't think he's going to reply to something like that. I'll bet he's laughing himself silly watching us trying to fumble around in the dark with all these 'clues' and 'hints'.

Thats it, you said it. He didn't answer my post because he is being subtle, he doesn't want to give aay details. I don't have a problem with that, though I have no idea what changes he would want to keep under wraps. Oh well.

  • 08.28.2006 8:51 PM PDT

Achronos also said that these "changes", including the nav bar replacment and some other unmentioned things, wouldn't happen until much later...as in not this year. Search "Achronos Nav Bar". It's one of the top results. Still, sounds like some new hawtness is coming to the Bungie forums...

Well, for one thing, he probably wouldn't want to say anything, then have it not come true. But also, I think he just likes to play with us. And I wouldn't be suprised if he wants to make it a suprise, just because it's more fun that way.

I suppose. I have seen the Achronos trend: Post and run. I know he is watching, though.

You think it got what it takes to be..?.


God forbid you send me one of those I was checking for cool gamers and saw you messages too, I will scream to the top of my lungs and smash this damn screen/BlackBerry to pieces! You've been warned -_-

Just one question: Has anybody noticed that error logo on the bottom of the page (below the nav bar) where it shows status like "done" or "12 items remaining...". Did anyone of you guys noticed sometimes when you post threads or just visit forums you see "Error" or "Done, but with errors"?

These errors does buy time because there is an error that reads: "Item does not support property or method". I realized that they are talking about the New Topic button. I just wanted to point out that ever since the search bar was created my status SOMETIMES says error but it doesn't always refer to the New Topic button, It also refers to the Search bar.

I think it is more out in the backyard, and then we will hear a shotgun blast, followed by Achronos grim march back inside

It'll be better off. There will be plenty of other web-features to play with, big fields to run in..... the nav bar will be happier. We have to do what is best for the nav bar and not be selfish.


Is that one of those 'it's not you it's me' things?

Whoa whoa whoa, were getting rid of the nav bar? Since when? You had better have some damn fine new feature to replace it.

Of course we're not "getting rid of it". It's going out to live on a farm where it can run and play with other older web features.


Like with the colored text features and the lack of blacklist powers?

They will be missed ......LoL !!

Shhhhhh! It's sitting right there at the bottom of the screen and can hear you!

Ooooh, like the Disembodied Spirit??

  • 08.29.2006 1:38 PM PDT

Personally, I'll be glad if they get rid of it. Or at least move it, maybe off to the right to be incorporated with the forum and search bars. It takes up valueble space over posts when I'm reading them. I got an older computer with a smaller 15" monitor and any extra reading space with less scrolling would be awesome.

Frank O'Connor is a 12-year veteran of the videogame magazine industry and has therefore never worked an honest day in his life.

so the next question would be.....when?
