CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

Welcome to CAA version 2.0!

By now I'm sure you've all noticed the new look and feel we've got here. Take a look around and let us know what you think. Comments/Questions/Concerns should be posted in the comments box area:
Comments Box

Things of note (i.e., we're aware of these things already - you don't need to report them):
* There is a gallery section now. See link above.
* Quick edit is now just edit; try it, you'll like it.
* If you only want to see one copy of signatures, update your "thread viewing" options under User CP -> Edit Options.
* Be sure to update your chat font colors!
* Be sure to update your signature colors!
* Many of the links off the navigation bar above are place holders. We are aware that more information should go there.
* In fact, we may end up changing that quite a bit. More on that later.
* This is not a "final release," so don't worry... There will be more style changes to come.
* We're going to be updating the look of most of the buttons/icons/etc.
* The arcade is off-line for the time being.

... more to come as we discover other issues.

EDIT:
Other stuff we know about:
* You can upload animated gifs, but NOT for Avatars or signatures. This is a feature, not a bug. It's very distracting for some of us. XD
* The attachment thumbnail issue has been resolved; we're rebuilding the thumbnail database now.

Awesome design Mith, I am wondering where the arcade section is though.

Jim approves of this

*points up*

It's gone. For now, anyway.

We have an arcade?Awesome!

Are the avatars still up?

Wooow, very nice! It's going to be fun finding my way around the new layout! XD For instance, something I've just noticed..."Multi-quote"? What does that do? Anyways, it looks excellent; I can't wait to see all the changes!

Hmmm when you reply are the emoticons always supposed to stick out horizontally across the page?

I also noticed that topics can now include up to 30 posts a page rather than the usual 10.

Fish approves of this most excellent upgrade.

Whoa, question.

Are the art threads back? Because that would be completely awesome.

*Testing Edit

NEAT.

Oooo just noticed the option of multi-quote, nice^^ Better than copying and pasting all the time^^

Aw snap. This new skin is VERY nice, albeit a little buggy. I'm sure the kinks will be fixed soon, however.

This is bloody awesome!

By the way, is there a homepage? I can't seem to find it. And is the chat up yet or not? Just wondering. XD;

Is the chat gone too?

Change your skin from "CAA Lite" to "New CAA" in order to join the chat.

Oh dear, I was going to make a comment about how I didn't like the dark skin from the normal light skin, but I hadn't noticed that I wasn't logged in.

Anyways, I LOVE the new update so far. I can see that there are still a few kinks to work out, but it all looks much more professional. So all I can give are positive awards right now.

But I will request that the forum be less wide. I currently have a side scrolling bar, and would like my normal format again.

Otherwise, grand job to all of you!

Edit: P.S. Teehee! My signature no longer has the scroll bar though. I'm with the MOES now. XD

Edit 2: Oops! Sorry, it was my fault the forum was so wide. I had to set my preferences. I'm currently deciding if I want the new CAA skin or the CAA light skin.

And what about this animated avatar I already have?

OH.

I like it a lot

Very pleasant, I like it. Is there still some way to check the new posts for the day?
Great work Mith!

OH.

Because you didn't upload it and linked it from a separate site?

I was wondering the same thing about the picture in my signature; I'm glad to see it still works. XD

You changed the color scheme because of the bug in my sig, didn't you? Didn't you?

Oh, and the text in the edit box that says "Reason for Editing:" is white and unreadable. And perhaps quoted text should be black, to increase contrast with the light-colored quote box.

Wow, the page uploaded and thought someone hijacked the site! But all is well, carry on.

I used to use the CAA Dark skin... gotta say I liked it better. The new forums just look a little cheesy :s I wish you guys could offer up a few different choices for CAA themes, like before.

This skin is kind of hard on my eyes. ;A; Dark background and very light font.

I'll stick with another, even if they have been altered.

Well, we've got one person (me) who's doing all the coding for this site part time as a ministry. To get each theme to actually contain all the various odds and ends the board likes takes me about 20 hours. Every upgrade must be applied to every skin.

We will be modifying the buttons to mesh better, and we'll be cleaning up some of the more obvious layout/style snafus. I do not currently have any plans to add more skins.

Yeah... There will be some issues with this, but not for a little while.

Spiffy! You guys work so hard, it's very much appreciated.

It took a little bit, but the dark background is easier on my eyes & I've gotten used to it now. Ooh, gallery... (wanders off to look at pictures)

can you see me?

Doe Johson and I JUMPED at the new surprising layout!! D: WOOOAH I love I love!! Kyaaa!

Doe Johnson says she is so confused, but in a good way ^^

yaaai!

Maybe I'm old school, but I preferred the old site. In my personal opinion, the current layout looks like too many other forums out there.


But again, change happends.
