Title: WTF is the problem now?
Atrophy Within - June 13, 2006 08:30 PM (GMT)
Ok, I have switched between 4 different computers, and all have the same issue. The site is loading up with no background, and taking forever to load. This was happening a few times at home, but now its not stopping, and this has happened at home, here at college, and at the library. Is anyone else having this issue where when you load the site, the background is white, all text is regular, black font, and half the buttons images won't appear? The page takes forever to load, and its not working for me.
Perhaps the new layout has some issues. I have viewed it in IE and FireFox, and still its screwed up. Whats going on? Before it only happened every so often, and if I reloade,d it would go back to the normal layout, but now it won't go backa t all, and I've jused several different comps, but still the same thing happens.
Anyone else having this problem?

I'm taking a wild guess here and saying that it's because it appears that Creative Insanity (Tilly's site) is down, and it appears that the board's CSS style sheet is hosted there.
Hopefully it will get back up soon...

The computers i used did that for a while last week. It happens every now and then.
Like now. Right now anything one this site is taking forever to load and the backround is missing. All this since my last visit aka today at 7:00 p.m.
& Posts Merged. Please use the edit button in the future.

Ok, well at least I know I'm not crazy. I'm on a computer 30 miles away from the one I was on when I posted this thread, and for awhile, I thought maybe is was souly my user acount doing it >.<
Well, maybe we should have some default scheme set up for when something like this happens? o.0 I dunno. I hope Tilly doesn't lose any of her stuff. She must have lots of stuff sicne anytime I do a search for any ZOid, one of her kitty drawings always comes up within the top 10 images. :P :P :P

Yeah, I have that issue.. You can use a custom stylesheet on IE, but every site you visit will look like that.. If it's annoying to look at.
http://snwo.krahs-emag.com/stylesheets/Here you are, guys.. I don't know if you'll like my style of web design, but you can always edit these and make your own color schemes.
I recommend Simply Spacey, but there are 3 others there too.
Go to Tools > Internet Options > Accessibility
Check the box to format, and upload the stylesheet from your computer.
You should be good to go.

<_< This ish is annoying...Foreal..,I thought we already had a back up , when stuff like this happens...
Zelos - June 14, 2006 02:08 AM (GMT)
I'll try looking around to see if I can find the default IF style sheet to replace Tilly's customized one...
Of course, that means we will be back to the normal blue :P
EDIT: Done. But the button images are still hosted on her site.
For reference, here's Tilly's CSS for when Creative Insanity is fixed:
| CODE |
</style>
<script>
if (location.href.match("setSkin")) {
var Skin = grabURL("setSkin");
changeskin(Skin);
}
var scheme = getCookie('template1');
if (scheme == null)
scheme="lavender";
document.write('<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="http://www.creativeinsanity.net/stuff/ze/'+scheme+'/style.css">');
function grabURL(data){
var useURL = ""+location;
if (useURL.match(data)){
Attribute = ""+useURL.substring(useURL.indexOf(data+"=")+data.length+1,useURL.length);
Attribute = Attribute.substring(0,Attribute.indexOf("&"));
}else{
Attribute=-1;
}
return Attribute;
}
function changeskin(change) {
var scheme = change;
var name = 'template1';
var pathname = location.pathname;
var myDomain = pathname.substring(0,pathname.lastIndexOf('/')) +'/';
var ExpDate = new Date ();
ExpDate.setTime(ExpDate.getTime() + (180 * 24 * 3600 * 1000));
setCookie(name,scheme,ExpDate,myDomain);
}
function getCookie(name){
var cname = name + "=";
var dc = document.cookie;
if (dc.length > 0) {
begin = dc.indexOf(cname);
if (begin != -1) {
begin += cname.length;
end = dc.indexOf(";", begin);
if (end == -1) end = dc.length;
return unescape(dc.substring(begin, end));
}
}
return null;
}
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure)
{
document.cookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
((expires == null) ? "" : "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString()) +
((path == null) ? "" : "; path=" + path) +
((domain == null) ? "" : "; domain=" + domain) +
((secure == null) ? "" : "; secure");
}
function callClick(setIt)
{
var iDone="0"
for (cc=0;cc<setIt.length;cc++)
{
if (setIt(cc).href && iDone=="0")
{
location.href=setIt(cc).href
iDone="1"
}
}
}
</script>

I just lost color now... darn it. It hurts my eyes...
Zelos - June 14, 2006 02:50 AM (GMT)
..And Creative Insanity seems to be back up, so I switched back over to to Tilly's CSS. There, everything is back to normal...
Tilly - June 14, 2006 04:21 PM (GMT)
Must have just been having a hissy, I dunno what's up with that...
It could also be hosted by the board so that wouldn't happen, but when it was some people complained about the lack of blue skin (I can't figure out how to get multiple ones without linking to them), so talk to them :p.

huh? CSS? You mean as in Cascading Style Sheets?
That looks like Javascript to me, actually it is, to my knowledge JS is the only one with their document.write thing and is one of the client-side technologies.
| CODE |
document.write('<LINK REL="stylesheet" TYPE="text/css" HREF="http://www.creativeinsanity.net/stuff/ze/'+scheme+'/style.css">');
|
There's the css file being outputted.
I don't like client-side code very much, a bit insecure and you need to worry about the visitor supporting it. Go server side.
Tilly - June 14, 2006 09:15 PM (GMT)
Any idea how to do the multiple sheets thing another way? I don't like it myself, but as I said some people were rather...adamant we keep the blue.
ZeRoRaVeN - June 14, 2006 09:19 PM (GMT)
Unfortunately, you don't have alot of control in invisionfree because you can't edit the board files, that means you're limited to inserting things into the skin itself, and that means server-side is pretty much not an option.
I can't think of anyway for a server-side way, what would process it? And then you can't put server side code into the skin since that it being processed by the browser.
Zetaboards should be done soon, it's possible you'll have more options then.
Atrophy Within - June 14, 2006 09:28 PM (GMT)
It just did it again, but when I reloaded, it worked fine. So I dunno whats the issue, but beware its not totally fixed yet. >.<
TILLY!!!! We need to switch from this blue/purple to a red and yellow, Liger Zero Pheonix Style, if only for a day or two. :P It would be neat to change the colors every once in awhile. The blue/purple has gotten old.
JammerLea - June 15, 2006 05:37 PM (GMT)
Yeah, I've had a couple times where it loads in just basic html, no pictures, no custom colors. I just refresh though and it's fine. I've had that happen to me with deviantART once in a while too. *shrugs*
