So the max height it 200 cool cool, what about width?

I haven't done it yet, but max sig width would be the max width of the container.

In other words, a sig is scaled so that it's never taller than 200px or never wider than the post, whichever comes first.

I like the minimalism of it. But green doe?Where's this green thing coming from. Ugh.Oh god you put it on the front page.Ugh. What are you doing, Mahz?

I couldn't think of another accent color to go with our taxicab yellow, so I decided to accessorize with our favicon .

I thought the favicon looked cool, too.

Don't suffocate my creative process!

Mahz should tempory disable everything.

I've done it a few times: Everything disabled

So fast. Try it!

...just a poor man's way ... before Mahz manages to code in something nicer-looking...

I thought it looked cool and forever.

Thoughts on newguild so far?

Or straight out of my signature. Anyway,

Thoughts on newguild so far?

Oh yeah, and thanks to everyone that's been helping out. Off the top of my head,

- Hank for relaying the unfortunate events that befell oldguild
- Alex for reminding us how to be Fonz-cool ( he joined 31 Jul 2008)
- Jorick for assembling a list of common feature requests and assorted intel
- And anyone else that's been like a barista of help, serving out solutions and answers to all the scrub questions.

Thoughts on newguild so far?

The bad news:

- I thought user activity would ramp up slowly enough for me to have time optimizing things, but we went from pretty much 0 users to 550 concurrent users within a few days.
- The code that runs this website is highly ad-hoc and inefficient because I just wanted to get something up that works. It's one of the reasons that error page pops up.

The good news:

- As inefficient as my code is, it's still pretty fast, and newguild is running on a server that's a fraction as powerful as the oldguild server at a fraction of the cost with software that's not too far off from the feature-set of vBulletin. (Though some big features still remain)
- Despite the intermittent bursts of down time, it's doing a pretty good job handling a similar activity volume as oldguild.
- Since the code is scrappy, it means there's a lot of room for improvement.

I might double the size of the server (which would still cost less than half of what I was paying before) so that I have more room to work on things beyond performance issues.

I'm currently working on the subscription feature and a password reset function.
