Recently I was asked if there was still progress being made on the new MS design. At the time, the answers wern't very clear to me, and I honestly thought it could be a long time before anyone saw MS as a PHP site. The answers have become very clear to me in the last couple minutes however, as Xorlak has integrated Matt's site layout with MrG's PHP code, and we nearly have a fully functioning site ready to roll out. If things progess as fast as they have in the last day or so, the new MS could be available before the week is through, though I won't make that a promise. Shit happens Wink , especially when it comes to this site. Anyways, just thought I'd let you all know. Have a nice day, and thanks for reading.
UPDATE 4-20
Here's a little image preview of the new layout. A couple of you actually saw this about a month or so ago, but here it is for the rest of you.

No, no Spyder. You do not thanks s for reading. We thank you for letting us read that. Razz
-
Thank Matt and Xorlak for letting you read that Razz
-
Thank the MS team. Then it is a safe bet. Wink
-
And thank me too, for being useless! Very Happy
I can't wait to see the new PHP MS
-
And thank me three for being a crazy psysco dude! Razz

*bumping post*
Check out the screenshot above
-
Ah. No longer the sole knowledge of MS, me and DarkElite. Hehehe.
-
Ooh! Very Happy
It looks nice and clean. More 'no nonsense' than TKZ.
Although to people who like nice pretty sites with cool images, the simplicity would be a bad thing.
I like the colour scheme, but it doesn't suit MS, imo. MS is white, TKZ is blue. A blue MS just looks wrong to me.
-
Before someone comments on how it doesn't look as "pretty" as TKZ, we were going for a fast loading, low bandwidth version at first. Later on were hopeing to add skin support, which will include images and the like. Be patient please, the main point of the new site is to make it easier on the staff to update it, not to make it prettier. Wink
Edit: LMAO, I was typing this as Asimir was posting his message Razz
-
Hmmm... "whiter than white" washing poweder actually contains a small amount of blue dye, which creates the effect. Maybe the already whiter than white MS is becoming whiter (hehe).

Umm, MS was blue for 4 years....it only just recently became white (January I think). Again, as stated above, were hoping to add skin support later on, which will include different color schemes, as well as images, etc.
-
really? damn, I've been on this site so many times, and not even noticed the colour until recently Razz
-
Here's the index page of the old design (http://http://www.mysticsoftware.net/oldsite.htm) created by Triuken.
-
has the site ever had the current layout, but with a blue background? Because I'm sure it had this layout when I downloaded a load of games from here, and that was months before January.
anyway, skin support sounds good. And it's something TKZ doesn't have Razz
-
Nope, it's been the one it has now, and the one I linked to above, that's it. It actually took me a while to decide to go to the one it has now. I had originally planned on keeping the old layout forever. It was horribly large in size though, and used tons of images, and was more of a bitch to update than the current one.
Edit: Whoops, that was January of 2003...not 2004 =D. So it had the old design for 3 years, this one for a year (I think)
-
ah, that's why I don't remember the old site then. I only joined December 2002, and I probably didn't visit MS for a while.
-
Nice, is that a testsite or the final version? About time MS got upgraded! =P
I agree, purple doesn't seem to fit. But skinning is good. What system are you using? I'm working with Smarty templating system for TKZ's skinability. About time html was seperated from php for me as a coder....gets so messy.
EDIT> Old MS is memories galore, I love reading these old pages like the old TKZ someone posted recently. Ah, the good ol' days =P
-
That's not purple! It's blue!
Anyways, I suppose it's the test site. if it were the final version it'd be up now. That is the final layout though. Just need to add/edit a couple things, etc; but Xorlak says we can start adding games, etc to it right now, so it does work, and that's the main thing =P.
As for skinning systems, I have no idea. I know practically nothing about PHP except for what I've learned by editing the test pages. Matt72186 or Xorlak would have to answer that for you.
-
Seriously, that's purple to my eyes...but anyway, cool.
-
Booooo!
Depending on what the feedback is from the rest of the community, we'll see what happens as far as the color scheme goes. It's not like it'd be hard to change it since we just edit one file, and it changes the whole site (oohhh how much easier that sounds....). I like it, but I like the white/blue scheme we have now too. Looks more "professional" in a sense.
-
It looks purple to me too, but I have been diagnosed with colour vision deficiency by the opticians, so basically I am slightly colourblind. In school I once had to redo a picture on the front of my topic book because I drew the sky purple.
-
The new design looks good! I like the colour scheme, I think the purple works well - there are so many blue sites these days Wink
-
Heh...
Over half those files are mine, lol...
Anyway, the new site design looks great. I can't wait to try it, mmm...
-
Thats blue!!!! Its your poorly made budget cut moniters!!!! :angry: :rolleyes: Very Happy :angry: Laughing
-
Vampz - no skinning system has been implemented. But the site will more than likely use our own system when we build it.
-
I think that MS should be wight or black! Because those colours are cool! Very Happy
-
All of you British are color blind! That's why you have the extra "u" in color! Razz
Anyways, I'll start adding the games tomarrow.
-
yay! purple!
-
Racist!
Burn him!
=P
-
Oh for Gods sake...I (Vampz) keep forgetting to login
-
Hahaha!

I'm not British! I'm Canadian. We also spell color with the u colour because it were not lazy and the word makes no sence without the U! I'm colour blind! I see the BLUE Smile .....OR purple....or whatever colour it is......meh..... <_<
-
it's red!
-
Yes red, thank you Asmir!

You...! I too am Canadian... And I do not spell things the silly so-called "Canadian Way"... it's just silly!
Why would you invert the er in some words (centre, metre, etc.). That's just lunachris.
And what's with colour and clw (clue)... C'mon, you being Canadian doesn't mean you use those silly spellings.
-
So? I want to! A true Canadian would eh! Are YOU a true Canadian! And there not silly! There ER/RE thing makes or sence er sounds like it should be "ear" or something. And color looks like it sould be (cul-or) but it's prononced (cul-ur) so C-O-L-O-U-R ALL THE WAY, EH!

The difference between Asimir's and your spam, Word2, is that Asimir's is sometimes funny.
-
Hey Spyder when are you going to have this new layout all up and done and good and stuff?
