Website might be having some down time as I mess around with it. Suppose I should do that on my compsoc account actually.

I should also go to bed.... 3am ffs.

ok new things this morning. Decided to set up a site on my compsoc account and mess around with things there before I screw up the real thing.

I have to get a bus home now, so I wont be working on it again for a few days but if people have comments/suggestions/death-threats, post below! I'm open to all features etc that you want for either the website or the boards. I'll do what I can. :ugeek: :ugeek: :geek:

Thanks! I've spent ages trying to get it smoother. Problem is that I have a b&w high res image of the banner which doesnt like being made a flattened darker colour so comes out jaggedy

Its something I'll work on. I'm still new to this image editing thing.

Thanks, I take it you're happy enough with the new forum layouts then?

Just made this...

linky

might need some work. I'd like to have that incorporated into a banner. I've seen that before and it looks good. I've tried it myself with the other logo but doesnt look at well.

There is no mention and there never was any mention here of ever copying UCC philosophs website. I reject any claims that there was.

  that'll show 'em

Hi all,

JP here from UCC.

Just a quick post to compliment the new website, loving it.
Especially the homage to my Law Soc effect! :p

We're re-doing ours (Phil's) atm also, and you've raised the bar!
Although we're keeping ours under wraps for now.

Two bits of advice if I may,
it took me six attempts (that includes waiting for a new session)
to sign up. The user verification Capcha on the sign up page is VERY VERY difficult to read.
Also, the password is very complicated...

Secondly, if you can match your phpbb to your website to make them look like the same site, that'd be sweet.

Anywho, great work guys, keep it up!

Hey JP

There has been no plagarism from UCC. Why would we copy an inferior society? There may have been market research however.

As for the Captchas, you can blame Oisin. He likes to discriminate against people with lowly human eye sight. The problem was a massive amount of bots posting porn links etc. These draconian measures have stopped that for now. We have so few new sign ups that the sad little violin has an inch of dust. Let me wipe it off and play a sad song for you.

As for matching the sites, not as easy as it sounds. I've messed around with it a bit but havent had the time to go at it fully as I'm in full time employment this summer. Watch this space!

Oh and the website is only half done. I have many other ideas in my head, just waiting for the chance to escape.

I'm a nice guy honestly!

Woohoo for quick reply button working properly, the background matching the website (insane amount of time taken to get that to work), and headers with new logo.

I have no life!

I know my post comes across fairly aggressive but its not meant that way. I meant it to be playful. Yes I did take inspiration from other societies websites as I have only the experience of this one. Some of the things that UCC did were really good and I've tried my best to improve on them where I can.

No aggression was meant, I am a nice guy. Honestly!

Lit'n'deb now owns google. We are at the top ranking when searching < Literary and debating > and < Litndeb >

http://www.google.ie/search?source=ig&h ... d+debating


There are also many hits about Tutu when those terms are searched.

This means very little overall, but it's nice to be up there and above other societies (*ahem* maynooth)
