I am going to get a few more styles for people to choose from just like on the old board. I just haven't had a chance to make them yet.

OK :) Take it easy Soda!

sodascouts
08-17-2008, 03:15 PM
lol. Thanks! It is a lot to deal with!

Mrs Henley

Yeah, I would believe that! It's all new now.

Take your time Soda! We all know how hard you work on the Board

Mrs Henley
08-18-2008, 04:54 PM
We will seeing it all by the time! :)

As always, you are doing a wonderful job, Soda. We all know how much work setting something like this up involves. Take all the time you need.

OK, I've created a new default style which I named "EOC Default." However, if you like the blue better, just select it in your profile OR scroll down to the bottom of the page where you'll see a drop-down style menu on the bottom bar. Handy, as it changes your style instantly! The blue style is still named "vBulletin Default" because it is a modification of the default style for vBulletin boards.

For those who like the dark template or red/orange template, I'm still working on it.

Wow, you've managed to get it looking like the old board already! Great work, Soda, and thanks again for all the work you are putting in. Switching styles is so easy now, I shall probably alternate between the two.

Mrs Henley
08-21-2008, 01:33 PM
It looks good Soda! :D

glenneaglesfan
08-22-2008, 05:40 PM
Oh, I've just found this Dark Hue style as well. This board just gets better and better! We do appreciate what you are doing, Soda!8)

Thanks! I've got 'em all lined up except Dookie. I think I'm going to change up Dookie a bit, though, because so few people used it before.

Sodaaaaa, you made me in love with the LROOE style :inlove:
I love it!

Troubadour

I just saw Danielle's post and checked out the LROOE style - I love it! It's now my default. Cheers, Soda :thumbsup:

Got inspired to make a style revolving around the Eagles LP. It's listed in the menu now if you'd like to see it!

Prettymaid
01-07-2009, 09:05 AM
Wow Soda all of these choices are great! I love this latest one too!

BTW, what are you doing up in the middle of the night? :fingerwag:;)

Very cool again, Soda. Can't wait for the next one! :D

Thanks Soda for giving up so many options to choose from!

Freypower
01-07-2009, 05:55 PM
These will be great when you've done them all. Do I need to say which photo of the band I think you should use for the Long Run style? :partytime:

Glennsallnighter
01-07-2009, 06:06 PM
Another lovely style to chose from! Thanks again Soda, you are doing a great job on this. I think I'll do what FP does with her av, and change it every week!! That way I'll get to experience them all.
:thumbsup:

Don't ask! ;)

Thanks for the kind words, guys! I'm excited about doing one for each album as well. I'm gonna do styles for Desperado, On the Border, One of These Nights, Hotel California, the Long Run, Hell Freezes Over, and Farewell 1. I think that'll pretty much max everybody out. ;)

Mrs Henley
01-08-2009, 04:09 PM
AMEN Nancy!
You did a great job!
I can't wait to see more! :D

Beautiful! I'm really psyched about all the new styles, but damn, it sure makes it hard to decide!!:nod: I'm just gonna have to keep changing it all the time!

I love the Desperado style, Nanc, especially those little guns - they are too cool! :thumbsup:

Glennsallnighter

Yes!! From me too, thanks Soda! I love the Desperado style

Oh YES! Desperado is fantastic, thanks Soda!

And now we've got an On the Border style!

Wow!! that's Great Soda!! Bright!! *G* and may I say, I LOVE your new AV!! very HSG!!!

sodascouts

Why thanks! and the av is from the On the Border tour so... it's only right!

Brooke
02-07-2009, 03:15 PM
I love your av, too, Soda! :heart:

Troubadour
02-07-2009, 07:32 PM
I'll add my admiration of your av, too, Soda! I love the On The Border style also... Very funky, and the guys all look great :smitten:

This whole web concept oozes style. The colors and layouts are nice but not the "heart of the matter". That would be the content.

Due to my work I some times have to travel which means I'm on and off an back on again. One of the things I find truly amazing is how the Border makes the world a smaller, friendlier place. I see posts from South Africa, Australia, England, Germany and the Netherlands. I am truly amazed our friends in Mexico and Germany put up their posts in better English than some of our U.S. friends (including myself) are capable of. It just blows me away that I can post and get a reply from a friend in Australia or Holland.

Diplomats the world over could learn from this site. Even the disagreements are friendly.

Once again I salute and thank the administrator and the moderators of this site. And I salute my fellow Border members as well. I can't think of a better way to spend a few quiet minutes in the evening than logging on and seeing what is going on with all of you. I continue to enjoy this place immensly.

02-07-2009, 10:13 PM
Aw, thank you! We appreciate you too, JAHH. It truly is amazing how international this board is. I was in chat the other night with people from Ireland, England, Australia, and Canada..... It's wild!

TimothyBFan
02-07-2009, 10:21 PM
Can't wait to check out the new style but had to also comment on the new av Soda. WOW!!! That is a hot one!!!

JAHH--that was really nice what you said and I have to agree!

Ive always been a dreamer
02-08-2009, 12:10 PM
JAHH - Your comments are extremely sweet and very much appreciated. We do try very hard to keep this board friendly and fun, and I agree that being able to share our fandom with members from all over the world is awesome. We have a great bunch of people here that make this such a fun place to be a part of. Our motto should be 'if you're looking for trouble, then you're in the wrong place!' :wink:

And OBTW Soda - LOVE the new On the Border style. :thumbsup:

Question: How come when I set to my style of choice (currently Eagles LP), my laptop will not hold it at that style indefinitely? The next time I log on, it reverts back to the red default style. Is there a way to keep it on the style I want, until the next time I change it?

However, is not so bad sometime it will already work.

That is beautiful. I like how you've been able to get the raised texture of the OTB & OOTN album covers to show up.

Awesome job again, Soda. It's getting harder and harder to choose which one I like best. Choices are good! :wink:

The only new style I'm not able to enjoy is On The Border - it's so bright I need shades!

Perhaps it's a cookie problem? Does your browser automatically clear cookies when you log out?
I just saw this. Yes, when I log out, the message reads, "All cookies cleared!" So, I take it this means my laptop won't hold a style I select during that session, huh? Unless I somehow disable the "cookie-clearing feature," which I assume all my computer helpers (hubby, brother, Dell guy) have set for a reason. Therefore, I'm forever bound to select a style each time I log on, I'm afraid. Oh, bother! Well, it's HC today!

EagleLady

LOVE it!! It's now a daily routine for me to decide what style I use for that day! :laugh:

Edited to add:

Yeah - I'm addicted. I've just spent the last 15 minutes sitting here switching back and forth from one style to the other. They are all great - such a cool little addition to the board, and I love how you can just switch back and forth with a single click of the mouse. :wink: :nod:

Like I just put in the Timmy Survivor thread---this was a fantastic suprise when I pulled up the Border. This is, by far, my favorite style yet. Since this is my fave era for all the guys, I just can't quit looking at the background--and it's just so colorful also.!! You really outdid yourself this time Soda (I say that every time don't I?:hilarious:)

And EV---:thumbsup: on the signature--BEAUTIFUL!!!!

Wow, thanks for the kind words! It's funny, I deliberated a long time on whether or not to use a simple un-manipulated series of screenshots as the overall background because I feared it looked a bit amateurish. Glad that wasn't the case!

Thx, but you'll actually have to thank my artistic design manager, a Ms. Rhonda from the NW...I believe you might know her as Ticky?? :nod:

Hey guys - some of you may have noticed the board default has been changed to the white and blue style. That's because the usual red board default is a bit off kilter image-wise due to some server issues, so I'm using this one as the default for now.

Ive always been a dreamer
12-27-2010, 08:12 PM
Gosh - I haven't seen this style for quite a while. I do remember though when The Border first opened that this was the only style we had. It wasn't too long though before our resident web graphics designer, a.k.a., Sodascouts, came up with some other styles to help keep things interesting around here. :thumbsup:
