I'm currently making a new layout for Minitokyo. The current one looks outdated
and loads slow. I'm currently looking for beta testers for the new layout.
This new layout will unfortunately render all the current layouts unusable, the
main reason why a new layout has been postponed for over two years.
The upside is that the new userpage will be more customizable, and the site in
general will be faster. This update is an aesthetic one only, no main features
will be added or removed.
If you are interested, or have suggestions in general for the site, please leave
a reply.
So wait, none of our layouts will work anymore? Will we be able to make new
ones? Because I'm working on a new one right now. Should I just put that project
on hold if it's not gonna work in the near future?
sounds interesting, Good Luck to Sheq-san and all the beta testers!
hrmmm...but i wonder, will the old layouts be retrieved? or r they gonna be gone
forever? I like my current page layout
If you want a tester for different OS's and browsers, I'd be happy to test.
I have several flavors of Linux readily available to boot to, with about two
dozen different browsers between them.
Not that the browsers really matter, since the Big Three (IE, Fx and Saf) make
up the bulk of viewers...
dslassey: yes, the current layouts will not work anymore under the new layout.
Whatever you have put under custom content will remain though. If you would put
up a new layout now, expect it to be good for another two months. If that is too
little time, apply as a beta tester to start customizing using the new layout,
or wait. You can currently have a different layouts under the old and new one
simultaneously.
I wouldn't mind helping out as well as a beta tester. I don't post a lot on the
forums, so it would give me a chance to help be productive in another way.
For browsers I can help with testing on FireFox, IE, and Opera. I don't mind
trying others as well (Netscape still used? lol)
I don't know that much about sql or php things, but have a decent knowledge in
html, some java, and bb codes, though I don't know how much help any of that
would be.
I'd be happy to help though in anyway that I could
Looking forward to it
Although it'll surely take some getting used to ^^
I have one suggestion; it doesn't have a whole lot to do with layouts, but maybe
instead of having the enlarge option, there could just be larger thumbnails? A
lot of people get confused with enlarging and downloading.
That's all, good luck minna I
would've offered to be a beta tester if I wasn't on semi-hiatus ^^
I personally vote against 100x100 avatars, seeing how an emphasise is on scans,
wallpapers, and artwork, rather than a user's avatar. I have a lot of
suggestions that I'll email to ya, Sheqel (or whoever's adress is the one you
supplied us beta testers).

The new layout will not go live before mid july.

I can't wait to see how the new layout looks like ~!

I see
I like the fact that Mt will be faster. Loading time was always my number one problem when visiting this site.

As for beta testing, well I'm not on all the time. I got other trial and error stuff to take care of. But good luck sir.
Looking forward to it

I only hope that the new default is more aesthetically pleasing...
I don't mind being a BETA tester.
