Kurayamiblack's "Fire Emblem: Warriors of Arenta" game idea is going through another revision. This time the presentation of each chapter is going to be taken more seriously so that the reader can find enjoyment in each individual chapter rather than needing to read a bunch of them. Also, it's being edited to add more military and governmental structure to it so that the game feels more like a real war with fantasy elements than a senseless world war leading up to a decent ending.

Have a great day Shining Nova! And remember to please report any issues with the site to Kurayamiblack (since the moderators are pretty much just titles now)

Thanks to some stuff I found, I added a multi-purpose sidebar to the site. Hopefully, this won't interfere with anything already on the site or your load times. If a load time does exist, try refreshing the page several times. I've noticed Browsers seem to have an easier time loading pages if they're used to loading the same thing over and over. But that could just be my computer (which has already adapted to load at normal speed now).

Screen stretching hopefully won't be a problem. For those with higher screen resolutions, this shouldn't be a problem at all. For those like me with lower resolutions, there might be some areas where you can scroll left and right but it shouldn't be too much of a problem since most of the cut-off content is just non-essential table boarders and stuff.

All the skins seem to work fine except for some sections on some skins where text blends in with the background. Shouldn't be a problem with the forums, but the sidebar might have this issue. I haven't tested all the skins for defects yet.

Also added URL's to the sidebar including Youtube, Photobucket, Fiesta, Planet Renders, Seribii.net, ect.

I hope you enjoy this new addition to the site; I know I have so far silentswordsmanlv7.gif

I hate it. Please tell me there's a way to turn it off.

No, there's no way to disable it without completely removing it confused.gif

That's...incredibly depressing.

No offense, Kura, but I strongly feel this was a bad idea. It just makes things look so crowded, and I'm not seeing an immediate use for this thing that wasn't already fulfilled by something already on the site. =/

Personally... the site looked too empty without it.

I guess I'll wait for more opinions, but now it's gonna be impossible for me to remain optomistic during the wait when your first reply is "Worst idea ever". crosseye.gif

Sorry about that. It's just, I've never seen a site use a sidebar, and looking at it, I can tell why. =/

Doesn't seem all that bad to me...

I'm not gonna argue about it, but it doesn't really seem to take much away from the site. Maybe it looks crowded because it's at the top of the site where the banner is, or maybe it's too wide. I personally think the only think I don't like is the width which I think I can toggle a bit...

Otherwise, I like it but like I said, I'll wait for other opinions.

*checks to see if width is 200 when it should be 150*

Yeah, fixing the width up would certainly help. Dunno if it'd make a huge difference, but it'd certainly be better than nothing.

Well, I tried tinkering with a few numbers and percentages in the scripts, but nothing happened. I could go deeper in to find out what makes it so wide, but I don't have the time. I need to go to sleep.

I'll tinker a bit more for about 10 minutes, then I'm off to bed.

There we go! biggrin.gif

I shrunk it's width by 50%! This looks great IMO. The site is compacted still, but just wide enough to show all of it's features with nothing hanging off the sides smile.gif

(Page still clips off a bit on the posting page, but it's much better than before)

Hm...it's definitely a lot better. I'd still prefer it be removed entirely, but if everyone else thinks it should stay, I'd be able to adjust to this.

Ok here it goes:

I love side bars, but they need to hold more info, and not the affiliates. The sinde bard generaly scroll, and thats what makes them useful. Without it scrolling, you are still going to the top of the page to be able to click on links, so it becomes pointless.

Yea the biggest thing is the scrolling, if you can find out how to do that I can live with the rest of it.........Also I just noticed that the affiliates and everything below that is no longer centered, and thats REALLY going to annoy me. =P

The site I got the scripts from have instructions on how to add new stuff to the sidebar. So if you want it to hold new content, all you have to do is go to the suggestions forum and tell me what to add and then let me worry about making it work wink.gif

I've been trying to fix the centering for the stuff at the bottom of the site but so far, no luck.

Removal of the affiliates in the side bar isn't a problem at all. I've tinkered with this enough to know how to get rid of it at any time.

Hoj dislikes.

It pretty much just shows all the stuff on the page in a small area, and then leaves a huge empty space on the left of my screen.
