Southperry Market is LIVE!

[Myles]

the market ate it. Until market stops eating things, not putting back more for it to eat. Simple enough now?

Ah, fair enough. As long as I get it back at some point, I'm fine. Don't want you to turn into Nexon ;).

[Russt]

Yeah, I know you can't have two separate shadows. It's either glow or border, but you can't have both simultaneously.

How's the code for the glow look? I'm imagining it's something like:

{text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #(color), 0 0 0.2em #(color)}

Right?

.glow_9400D3 {
font-weight:bold;
text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #9400D3, 0 0 0.2em #9400D3, 0 0 0.2em #9400D3;
}
(source)

Yup.

Also, how do you refund, or is there no way to refund free items because there's "no reason to"?

.glow_9400D3 {
font-weight:bold;
text-shadow: 0 0 0.2em #9400D3, 0 0 0.2em #9400D3, 0 0 0.2em #9400D3;
}

Yup.

Thanks. For outlined font, all you'd need to do is edit the values of the text shadow into something similar to what I did in an earlier post. Just make sure to put a notice that you can only pick either glow or outline, since you can't have both of them simultaneously.

Also, how do you refund, or is there no way to refund free items because there's "no reason to"?

On the market page, see where it says whether the item is refundable or not? "Yes" links to the refund page.

Or at least, for us normal users it does, but I see no reason for it to be any different for you guys.

Refunds should now be working. Everyone who had a refund recently had it re-credited to them.

Another boost has been given to everyone who's participated to thank for your help in testing.

Personalized username modifications from previous regimes are in the process of being restored, unless you've already set one via the new system.

Still on the todo list - Enabling the background color options for username/usertitle/thread title/postbody, making SPP actually work. Other things I may have repressed.

[Rob]

Wait. POSTBODY COLORS? WHAT DID I JUST READ?

[Zelkova]

Holy hell, thanks Eos o.o!

[Eos]

Wait. POSTBODY COLORS? WHAT DID I JUST READ?

Of the text, not the actual postbody itself. Yet.

Like a permanent/automatic version of this.

Although in retrospect making it the whole postbody would probably be the less painful option in this case, since the intersection of postbody plus bg plus glow plus text color could potentially kill and maim.

[Zelkova]

YES! Refunds now remove effects!

[Rob]

Well full postbody is gonna suck. I hate that. Just keep the template clean ;_;

[Locked]

Would remove font modifications affect postbody too? I don't want that annoying sh'it in my posts.

It'd be sort of silly not to.

So wasn't joking.

Okay, asking this out of curiosity and not of planning.

With the username change, is that aesthetic or full account name change?

Full rename, supposedly.
Looks like it updates threads and pms but misses posts. Need to add that to the fix list.

That's totally ugly as f'uck. I hate that. That's the worst thing you've done Eos :/

NEXT STOP: IMAGE BACKGROUNDS FOR POSTS!


EWW.

[Eos]

Aren't you thrilled you can disable viewing it then?

[Rob]

Aren't you thrilled you can disable viewing it then?

Nope. Because I don't despise user font's etc etc, it's kinda like flavoring text. I do mind having to turn everything off just for that :/

For real Eos, I know it's nice and all to generate revenue for Southperry through this Market thing, but it seems like you're thinking "Well, it worked for Sleepywood, so it'll definitely work here."

Many of us left Sleepywood because of the post backround/color garbage. Username coloring/glowing is already pushing it for some. Can we keep Southperry simple like it has been for over two years? Pretty please?

Seconding...

I'm sorry, but that just looks horrible. It's not just the color selecting or anything, the table color change alone just completely clashes with the forum layout.

Also, Eos, I take it you're not up for my suggestion of including an outline rather than glow? I don't think it'd take too much work. I really think solid outlines would look better than fuzz.


Then again, outlines made in CSS usually look pretty meh, but I've never tried making them before. They probably look better at 2 or 3 px thick.
