Second(Different) Save Our Snips Forum at New Location

Site Name: Save Our Snips
Site URL: http://saveoursnips.proboards.com/index.cgi
Description: An Ahsoka Lover's Forum (This one is a different forum from the other one.)
Your Name on the Board: LukeTano

Ok, this one is a different forum altogether,though same title and same content.

I'm not sure if I'll be keeping this one, depends on if the ads, after the 2 weeks ad free, are annoying popup ones that basically make you click on them or something annoying like that or not.

MissTake told me that I could create a new thread for a new site, and this is a different site, albeit same forum type and content, etc. Also, the look and feel and membership is different. This one is brand new.

If I'm wrong about the rules, please don't get mad at me. I'm reading all the guidelines I could find and don't see anything against it.

Ok. You guys said that multiple styles is bad and that I should just have one style. However, Jedi Council Forums, while it may have one style throughout, though I'm in doubt even about that, definitely doesn't have just one logo for all the threads. It has several logos. In fact, it asks people to submit more. And that forum has about 10 times or more as many members as FP itself. True they have their own TLD, but still.

My new site, a different site, same theme, different location. And as the mods didn't say anything against doing this when I PMd them asking, I'm gonna continue using this thread, as I may not be able to get to the other forum again due to a server glitch. It's still down after all this time.

My new site is slowly expanding as I've not been online as much as I've been in the past lately.

Ok, the forum is starting to be looking great.

Only probably is I can't make a rank called "Banned".

Congratulations on the location change. ProBoards isn't the best host, but they are better than the old forum's host. It looks to me like you need to work on your theme. Also, you should probably turn off the auto gradients setting. The title background and news title background doesn't look very good with the setting. It would be better if you removed the random necessary text in the header and footer, if you want to have the text there, you should at least do a bit of customization with it. You don't even have the text centered. It also looks to me like you are hotlinking images on your forum. You should fix that. Anyways, good luck with your forum. 🙂

I can't get it centered, or don't know how to anyway.

I'm not hot linking, per se. I'm using a background from an image online as I don't think it'll let me use images from my own computer.

As for the logo, that's from the old forum, which I still can't get in.

As for the backgrounds, as I'm new, I just picked colors at random. They can easily be fixed.

You can center things easily with HTML:

<center>text here</center>

If you are using a image from some random website without permission, it is hotlinking. You are using up someone's bandwidth when you hotlink. You don't host images through your computer, you save images to your computer and then you can upload the images to an image host such as TinyPic or ImageShack. Honestly, if the colors can be easily fixed, you should fix them. Also, you say the forum is under construction, it doesn't make sense to advertise the forum if it's still under construction. You seem to have opened your forum prematurely.

Thanks. 🙂

A google image is hotlinking?

Also, it's being worked on but it's available to post in already.

Look at the image URL of your background. It is not a Google image. Google doesn't own the image. It may have shown up on Google Images, but Google doesn't own the image. Therefore, the background is hotlinking from http://www.californiaindianeducation.org/; you are using their bandwidth.

You say this: "It's being worked on, but it's available to post in already."
That's a bit arrogant. You are going about that wrong. I have a ProBoards designing forum I am creating. It's not ready to be opened. I could make it available to post in, but I don't have it available to post it. That's because i don't want to open the forum up prematurely. It's been proven many times that opening your forum up prematurely isn't good for your forum. If anything, it hurts it.
