The Fuzzy World 3um

I finally went ahead and put in some new subject-specific forums, hopefully these will be useful...

Note new logo for the 3um, the colorful header, and a link to the Fuzzy World 3 Home Page!

BTW, if anyone wants to make a license plate image like the one I used for the logo, go here:
www.acme.com/licensemaker/
(Gotta give credit where credit is due...)

I finally got that darn "Forum" out of "The Fuzzy World 3-um *Forum* Index"!!!!!!!!!!!!! Much happiness, I've been trying to figure that out all night!

Yeah, I'm pretty happy about that... time to go post what I did, here and elsewhere:
in /public_html/{yourforumfolderhere}/language/lang_english/lang_main.php
find: $lang['Forum_Index'] = '%s Forum Index';
delete "Forum ", comment indicates that deleting %s will eliminate the forum name alternately or as well!

Note the new Topic that I put in under the "Train-related Topics", this will be a catch-all for things like the Z-CHEM, 261, Canal Street Spur job, etc. to post sightings, whereabouts, and the like.

Also note that "Train-related Topics" is new, having been separated from the "Other Discussion Topics" since it's getting a little more traffic.

I played around a bit with some of the colors on the 3um, including modifying the image that comprises the header bar. Still gotta do a little more work on it though, it's not quite right just yet. The 3um is starting to look better! Or at least closer to the way I want it to look! Stay tuned...

Finally -- I added StatCounter to the 3um! There's also an option to view 3um stats, so you can see how much traffic the 3um has been seeing...

After a day of downloading, uploading, deleting, uploading, deleting, uploading, deleting, and finally getting the whole mess figured out the 3um is now current to the latest version of phpBB. I had a heck of a time figuring it all out though!

I'm still not much further on the Attach Mod though... but at least the 3um has nice cleanly Fuzzy-fied code! I now feel like I have a solid "base" to work from when I do install the Attach Mod...

Also note the new logo, tribute to a certain 3um member... It will be temporary, don't worry! (Not applicable to the Aphrodite theme.)

Oh, BTW, in the process of upgrading, everybody's theme defaulted to subSilver, so you'll need to reselect your theme. Go into "Profile", and change the box that says "subSilver" to either Dingo (the normal default) or Aphrodite.

I noticed that phpBB 2.0.22 was released last night. Had problems on the first go-round, so reverted to 2.0.21 files, and installed EasyMOD. Now that I've got things figured out, it seems to have done the job!

Here we go again, StatCounter was added to the upgraded (phpBB3) 3um! Might as well post my mod instructions here:

In: subsilver2/overall_footer.html
Find:
Before, add:
For a "view stats" type link, continue with the following:
Close file, clear cache if necessary, and you're good to go!

I'll do the prosilver style later, whenever I'm so moved...

Okay, fine, here we go:

In: prosilver/overall_footer.html
Find:
In-line find:
After, add:
For a "view stats" type link, continue with the following:
Close file, clear cache if necessary, and you're good to go! Most other styles should be similar to this or subsilver2, and placement of the counter is based on preference...

Interesting stat. 3 hours 11 minutes from the Midway Motor Lodge. Is that in Brookfield, WI or Plano, Texas? Is somebody geting free internet access via WIFI? Also using a MAC. I wonder how many people here use a MAC?

Lots of Milwaukee-based companies have their IP tied to Plano. Milwaukee Pub Lib (Public Library!) is one of 'em! Not exactly an exact science...

New subforum under Railroads: Watch Lists. Most of the existing "watch lists" have been re-done in this new section, with the old topics closed (and linked accordingly). Some more changes coming soon...

Very nice Fuzzy, I like it that they are all collected in one place. And thanks for making them easy to read too.
