Honorverse.com
I just got hijacked
The designers of Honorverse.com (a soon to be online game based on David Webers books) have asked me to design and create a message board for the game here at Runboard!
What's on my mind... How to add it to the list of things I already do so it gets done in a timely manner

Re: Honorverse.com
I'll be doing this one for free so I can get help if I get stuck. I think it will be a good promo/exhibit of what can be done with the Runboard forums which just might entice some to give Runboard a try. The only difficult part I see on the first go-round is the way they have their nav menu in the left sidebar... not sure how to duplicate the effect or even get close yet but I think maybe with a vertical slidebar CSS style menu...

Re: Honorverse.com
My goal is (as always) the promotion of Runboard as the major byproduct of doing this board but it occurs to me that the online game developers may want to use a path forwarding domain name to keep the appearance of their site being a integrated whole. In such a case the runboard.com url would not be seen and a Google search of akbbs gives several different products which does not help. This leaves just the Runboard link in the miscoptbar and the tiny "link to us" at the bottom of the page to point to the real message board provider... I am thinking of maybe replacing or adding to the Runboard link with a "Running Men" graphic to help brand the board provider while being unobtrusive to the overall look...

Re: Honorverse.com
I have the skin/message board just about finished (than you LG for getting me past the hump I always seem to have on the nav menus).
If you wish to comment and/or make suggestions the board is located here.

Re: Honorverse.com
Thank you Queeny, it isn't finished yet. I still need to finish the links, set up forums, complete the integration to the main gaming site and tweak some additional graphics and code but it is looking like I can get most of that done this week so I am very hopeful.

Re: Honorverse.com
You've really got some inspirational ideas for skins...and as Honorverse they got mighty lucky, I think!
