    As you can see, we are now live on our new home OpenDesigns.org.

    All posts, comments, etc have been moved over. All user accounts have been moved over and a new temporary password was emailed to you. Once you log in, you'll be able to change it like before.

    If you are a new user, you will need to go register to register.

    You will also need to update your profile with your icon link and any other information you want in your profile.

    You can also start to submit designs.

    We are also still working out the kinks, so bare with us over the next few hours.

    I'll update this post as things are coming together.

    I never received an email, so I had to start a new identity "gwolfgang2". Was funny to see how my previous identity gwolfgang mysteriously was transformed into the new, exciting, trendy and web2.0 styled identity 4evrblue, must have been due to my previous blue logo design for OD, and I guess also due to my wish that OD may last forever!

    Great to be here in the new OD-forum! Thanks to all who made this possible!bigsmile

    When people are viewing designs, it is messed up in FF 2.0 . It might work better with the frameset XHTML 1.0 doctype, and just a single vertical frameset, but it might not...

    <!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
    ...
    <frameset rows= "10%,*">
    <frame src="top" />
    <frame src="bottom" />
    </frameset>
    ...

    <!DOCTYPE html
    PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Frameset//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-frameset.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>View Design: $name</title>
    </head>
    <frameset rows= "10%,*">
    <frame scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" src="frametop.php" />
    <frame scrolling="no" noresize="noresize" frameborder="0" src="design-name/index.html" />
    </frameset>
    </html>

    that will be the code generated by a PHP page whenever a design is viewed. It needs only one parameter: the design name. the PHP page frametop.php will be passed along the design name, so it can display that in the top 10% of the page. the remaining screen is dedicated to the design itself. It is an old-school, valid solution to a modern problem. If you need to know more, the links below tell you about frames and framesets. this ONLY works with that doctype.

    Hey guys, how is everybody doing?
    I wasn't able to log in to the old forums, but now that the site has moved I can finally voice my opinions, which follow:
    Well done. You're sacrificing a lot putting this site together in such short notice, and it is appreciated.
    clap
