I think this forum needs a lot of change, I'll be adding lots of new features. Like this skin? Ok it needs a logo, but I plan on making this forum a lot better.
Also another request. Although this is a homegrown forumm, not every topic needs to be about homegrown, so if some of you could use your initiiative to make some interesting, funny or whatever topics I'd be gratefull.
The arcade will soon be added again, with shitloads of games, I'm sure some of the changes will be good, and i am going to continue work tonight.

Thanks, what do you think of the new skin?
30 September 2004, 14:00 UTC#4
Nice skin gazaa. It will take some time to get used to it, since all forums I write on have dark color schemes, but I think I'll end up liking this very much.
Is the toplist coming back?

Thanks, yes, the toplist just needs the required skin file dropped back into place, so will be back up tonight.

I was wondering what happened to the arcade, I wasted a fair few hours there, nice to see a return.
30 September 2004, 16:35 UTC#7
Very original, noice one. Take some time getting used to though.
30 September 2004, 18:24 UTC#8

30 September 2004, 19:50 UTC#9

30 September 2004, 19:52 UTC#10

30 September 2004, 20:06 UTC#11

30 September 2004, 20:40 UTC#12

N0ob!!! Nah ofcourse people will lisen, but if it burns your eyes I suggest getting out more
01 October 2004, 19:46 UTC#17
It's very pro and clean looking... but homegrown isn't

this looks more like a computer gaming forum then a "hardcore" homegrown site
01 October 2004, 20:52 UTC#18
yea.. make a grunge skin. or find one and alter it. that's what i usually did.

i have no way of testing it out.. unless i have admin access.. i went to upload this on my server but the dude that i share it with did not give me mySQL access. plus I need to use a previous skin as a reference. but i doubt gazaa would give me admin access for like 2 days so i can get it done. or trust me enough to not fuck this up.

External image not preserved — inspect source: http://homegrownforums.com/html//emoticons/Copy of sad.gif You don't need Mysql access, sql has nothing to do with a skin, Mysql contains all the data and tables the forum runs on. You need Admin Control Panel and FTP access which Kuffi will give you if you PM him. Thanks man

Edit: The skin sets on this forum are extremely messy, there are 23 sets there which need removing apart from Blue-Illusion Import 5, and Blue Silver (This skin) When Kuffi gives you access Install the skin as usual, or if its css just edit the properties of this skin, but when installing a new skin you will need to copy portal.php to your pc, then copy it into the new skins folder, or the forums portal will not function, and display a skin error message when you try access the site.

Yes I trust you if you know what you're doing, I have database backup of all my websites, however when kuffi gives you the logins, I don't want to come back after the weekend and find the site down

, so be careful.
Once again, thankyou.
02 October 2004, 10:30 UTC#26
yea i didn't really read it well.. i don't plan on using the board i install on my host.. but first i'm going to set it up and test the skin there. because i'm still a little buggy when it comes to skins. i don't wanna let you down.. but if all goes well then i'll let you kno and we can get an ok and install the bitch.
External image not preserved — inspect source: http://homegrownforums.com/html//emoticons/yu.gifEdit-- GAY.. it needs to connect to the SQL server.. could it be possible, Kuffi if you read this, to make a complete copy of the forum folder and i'll work with the skin on it. be alot safer.
04 October 2004, 10:20 UTC#27
You can't make a copy of the forum folder, for a start, even if we did it'd take many hours and timeout halfway through it. When we have forum trouble, the only feasable way of restoring it, is copying the image folder, getting the right skinset, backing up the mysql database, deleting all of the forums files, reinstalling the entire thing, rewriting the old sql tables over the new ones, readding the pictures to the upload directory, reinstalling the skinsets etc. Check all database values are correct if you are trying to install a forum, otherwise it should work.
Remember, the posts and members etc are not stored on the forum files, they are accessed remotely, from the database you created or your webhost provided you with.
04 October 2004, 11:12 UTC#28
well fuck that.
06 October 2004, 05:07 UTC#29
try this out.. it's nothing great.. but i'm sure everyone else will appreciate it. i'll make a better one once i have a forum to work off of, i was afraid to fuck on this forum.
i did this one assuming what would look best. hope it turns out as good as it did in my mind.
