Much better, I guess that now there won't be so many questions about character models lol

Maybe I'm just blind, but seems to me we can't move topics directly from Audio Mods into its Releases section without first moving it to a separate board all together. Anyone want to verify this?

Likewise.
For some reason, when I try to move a topic in the audio board, my move options don't include movement to the releases sub-board. It's as though the releases board is being identified with the audio board, so it's getting filtered from the options just as the audio board does (and should, as it's the 'current' board when I'm moving a topic).

Ditto. Well that is a pain.

Doesn't happen with the other boards though. You'll see if you try to move something from Graphical Mods to its Releases subsection it will go
Audio Mods
Releases
Releases
Gameplay Mods
Releases
etc etc
That 2nd Releases is no doubt the graphic mod release child board. I guess audio being first listed is the problem?

It could be, but i have no way of fixing it.

Could it have something to do with the forum having too much boards? Cause AFAIK, it wasn't an issue before...

Aali's driver now has its own subforum to help make it easier to find.

Well I made a handful of small changes to board descriptions and names, and also implemented an extremely rudimentary google search bar which should be basically yelling at you on the homepage. I know next to nothing about html but I will do my best to clean it up and position it better.
Added <td><script src="//www.gmodules.com/ig/ifr?url=http://www.google.com/cse/api/007414179022923604322/cse/fxpivp1vwy8/gadget&synd=open&w=288&h=79&title=Qhimm&border=%23ffffff%7C3px%2C1px+solid+%23999999&output=js"></script></td> on line 304 in the index.template.php file

I like it, but we might want to handle its styling.
Instead of using CSE (where I think we have to pay to tailor the HTML), perhaps we could just point to a site:qhimm.com search with a simple form:
Code: [Select]
We could then use some simple CSS to style it.

It's not a big deal whether they are changed or not, but here is what sticks out to me.
1. The location of the Google Custom Search. If it's possible, move it to the right underneath the Qhimm search bar.
2. On most forums, General Discussion is the first board. We had it like that, but now it's second.

I'll try to implement it now, if you see it, your code worked, if it's still the CSE, it didn't. I also have another idea, it will ruin one of the other themes installed, but since we don't allow changing of themes anyways, it just might work...
Aali's driver is now first because it is no doubt THE most important thing on these forums. It is nearly a necessity to get the game running and for using about 95% of the mods provided here. General discussion is all well and good, but this forum is much more a modding community than a place for chit chat.

Can we remove the existing search form, too?
You should also set a class="button_submit" on the 'Google Search' button too.

The Google Search bar looks nice.

My reading around on SMF forums seems to suggest that the built in search function for sites is needed/useful (despite popular belief).
There was a mod that enabled a dropdown box beside the searchbox that allowed you to pick SMF, Google, Bing, Yahoo. But I think it required me to have access to the server or v2.0 RC5 wasn't fully supported.
Either way I think this works pretty damn well
Bosola, is their a way to make it search the specific url you are at instead of always doing a broad forums.qhimm.com search?

Hopefully a minor tweak, but would it be possible to make the buttons (SMF Search, Google Search) the same width? That way the boxes would line up, the buttons would line up, and as a whole it would look neater.
No worries if you can't, or even if ya just don't feel like it.
This is already a huge improvement over the way it looked a few hours ago, and having the better search available should really help reduce the re-asking of old questions.

Lol, that was more of a placeholder to show it can be done and get someone more knowledgeable interested in making it look better. ;-)
