Art Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Welcome to the new Extremeskins. As you see, our facelift is nearly complete and we believe you'll enjoy the nips and tucks Blade, Die Hard and Tim have worked so hard to create. The site is not yet complete, so, as you look around, if something looks a little out of place, or you don't understand something, please let us know, and feel free to ask. Some of the features I'm excited about, in particular, is the scrolling news feature on the front. Every one of you will help grow our news archive and keep this action full of Redskins and related news. When you come across an article that is somehow of interested to the Redskins you can submit that for front page news in a number of ways. First, you can simply post this on the main board. Once we see it, we can cut and paste the article into the news section and our archive will grow with Redskin news so we never miss a thing. However, the best way to submit this type of item is to click the "Submit News" button which is on the right hand portion of the new front page. Put the entire article cut and pasted in the window, AND you MUST include the link to the story in the preceeding the cut and paste, and that article will be submitted to us for final addition. As we grow, we'll be able to link sites and work our main message boards in with the front page to fully integrate Extremeskins as your one stop shopping place for Redskins news. Please continue to help us find any issues we may still have, whether bug-like, or simply you don't like how something looks, or feels. Enjoy. Once this is done, we won't have to move around again. This is very robust software and you will appreciate the benefits. Extremeskins Staff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 BEFORE you start posting... go to the "User Cp" at the top. Click the EDIT OPTIONS button. And for "Use 'Email Notification' by default?" make sure "NO" is selected. This will avoid your mailbox being swamped with unnecessary emails. It's a temporary fix that we'll be implementing on Sunday. Until then.... BE WARNED!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted April 13, 2002 Author Share Posted April 13, 2002 Also, very importantly, make your new home page as follows: http://extremeskins.com/index.php Trust me on this. I don't know why Die Hard linked the forums . You'll want to make, http://extremeskins.com/index.php your new home page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Art - what's with the extra characters (ie. ?S= )? Doesn't http://www.extremeskins.com/index.php do the trick for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrangeSkin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 This is totally unimportant, but I'm just curious. What are the new rankings, i.e. playmaker, benchwarmer, etc. Could somebody list them and how many posts you need for each? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Die Hard Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 OrangeSkin - Go to "User Cp" at the top of the screen. When in your Control Panel... click on the "Edit Options" button. Go to the bottom of the page where you see "Avatars". Click on the "more info..." link. There's a legend of all the ranks there. It's incomplete right now... but it's there.

I must be in the coaches doghouse; this is my second demotion. Better start looking over my shoulder.... the turk's lurking somewhere out of site.... i just feel it. By the way, are all names going to stay the same color or will we be able to change them if we wish like we did recently. It added a little bit of personality. nice feature that; Being able to highlite text in a different color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Die Hard Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Think of it like this fellas... it's a new city... with a new stadium... with a new administration.... and a brand new coaching staff.

cdanrun Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 To tell you the truth, chatting is all new to me, never really felt comfortable. I have looked around, and this is the best site i have come across. Best info, hardcore fans, very clean site. Great work guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. D Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 yes I like some of the new bells and whistles....but it IS very much more busy. Also its confusing. the BB as its laid out, is difficult to read. A flow chart of some sort would be helpful as well as some sort of help screen explaining what is what and where you are. I had the whole authentication thing again. (meaning the old password did not work) nowlet me ge this straight: there is a website that is connected to the bulletin board? IS the bulletin board contained WITHIN the website? how do the 2 work together? In what capacity? help! geez I am whining like an AARP member Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Cher and Joan Rivers would be proud of the new look :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 My first impression was ... luke warm with a light frown. Given the chance to browse awhile, it's growing on me already. The more I see, the more I like. Good work, guys. The best keeps getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inmate running the asylum Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Hey Art.... still learning my way around, but everything looks great. I thought Yahoo had the best smilies, but not anymore. How and where did you come up with all these neat smilies, especially the moving ones?

mardi gras skin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 Like the overall feel. Very crisp edges. Clean look overall. Love the extra smiles and the way that the smile legend is presented and the larger window to write in. Don't like the extra posts necessary to get to a better pic (I'm dying to get to the Smauels' pick). And I don't know if its just me, but some of the posters don't show a pic at all. Maybe that just isn't done. Great site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardi gras skin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 BENCH WARMER!!???:cuss: :cuss: :cuss: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardi gras skin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 OK. I can see the graemlins on this thread, but I can't see them on several of the other threads. FYI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mardi gras skin Posted April 13, 2002 Share Posted April 13, 2002 The hyperlink some people put in their tag lines don't work. It has to copy and paste. I really don't know it this is all just me, so I'm posting everything I can find. If all of these are universal and you already have a handle, I'll stop. Course, I don't mind getting a few cheap posts in if it means getting past bench warmer. AGAIN! :gus: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
