try the admin page now.  That is what I was fixing when I made that last post.

I swear that Verious has to be the lamest hoster out there.  They don't support  a lot of the extra PHP functions like the calender and GD.  

*sigh* oh well guess I'll have to get the percentage bar that EUOL wants on his site the lame, streach the graphic out way.

Was that supposed to be Verio? Because if you're still hosting through my coworker, it isn't Verio anymore. He switched to something else. Plus GD isn't a PHP function, it's another program entirely.

No it's brandon's site I'm talking about.  Also GD is now part of PHP since 4.3 is been included in it.

I still have the same Admin problem, Sprig.  

[Spriggan]

humm thought I had fixed the problem. but I guess I didn't upload the new version.  Try it now.

[EUOL]

I'm in.  Good job!

[Spriggan]

humm...I'm thinking I'll add an options to designate if it's being written or on edit.  That would then show a differnt color bar and mark it as editing.  Save you from have to type that in.  How many differnt options would you want?  I think you'll like the new graphics for them all too.

Okay, added the books I'm working on, but it wouldn't let me delete the tests you did.

Also, it won't let me edit the percentages--it resets them to 0 if I try and edit the title of the book.

As for formatting, might it be better if we put the bar on a line below the title, indented just a bit?  Or, something like that?  The book titles are a bit long sometimes.

*sigh* again my problem.  I had input spelled imput.  All fixed.  For both problems.

[EUOL]

lol.  Works great now!  All we have to worry about is cosmetics.

Hey sprig, you seen Real Life's modboxes?

http://www.reallifecomics.com/

They kick some serious trash.  The thing I like about them?  Easy to keep them separate, and they always draw your eye.  I'm not saying we have to change anything we have, I'm just formulating what it is about some websites that I like.

[Spriggan]

E-mail 42 about it.  Thats more what I like too, but he's the one designing this not me.

Okay, I did a modbox-topper that incorporates some elements of what you saw on reallifecomics.com. I haven't settled on anything yet.

I made a new progress bar graphic too.  I was going to add a glowing effect but as is it dosen't look to hot.  So I went with a simpler beleved one.  We'd have to increase the size of the bar graphic substanchly to make it look decent.  Even then I think it would probaly distract too much.  I'll be adding different colored ones soon so diferent book stages will have a different color.
