New theme: "Century"

[Usual People In Life]

Violet, I am getting the same issue with the buttons changing to green as Unibot is getting. I am using Chrome 8.0.552.224 AdBlock 2.2.23 previously 2.2.19 (but will recheck and edit post) and NS theme Century Wide RMB.

EDIT: rechecked with AdBlock 2.2.23 still having the same issue. Issue does NOT rectify with AdBlock paused, so I dont think thats the problem. Oh, and I am using a Dell Latitude E5400 with Windows XP Professional SP3 if that helps.

It appears as well that recently the network admin for the network I use has installed OpenDNS somewhere on the network, not sure what it is but it might explain the new IP address from my nation, and I have moved home recently, just so you know. As far as I am aware, no one else using the network I use plays NS.

The GA flag appears to be at half-mast; has somebody died?: http://century.nationstates.net/page=un

Also, what is that ghastly, oversized NATIONSTATES banner in use on the main page? Can't all the pages use the same banner with the green globe, as seen above?

:p The GA flag appears to be at half-mast; has somebody died?

Sadly, yes. The GA flag was lowered due to the untimely... uh... no, I've got nothing.

Fixed.

Everybody is seeing different things at the moment depending on which theme they've selected and which subdomain they're on, so I'm not sure which banner you're referring to. The Century "Welcome" page has a larger banner, but it's just a bigger version of the same green globe.

Cool!

I do not have the scrollbar, but I am able to horizontally scroll the sidebar.

I can just scroll the sidebar by moving the mouse horizontally, I am running Mac OS X 10.6.5, and Safari Version 5.0.3 (6533.19.4).

Not sure if this was intentional or not.

I'm actually referring to this; it's what I get after I log into my nation: http://century.nationstates.net/images/banner3.jpg

And it's hideous! Can we please change it to something more resembling the green globe version?

EDIT: see subsequent posts.

Check your settings, I think you're set for "Century (desaturated)" instead of just "Century."

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

You're right.

What does "desaturated" mean, anyway?

Ooh, nifty screencast, thanks.

You're experiencing a bug from selecting a non-default theme on a nation that hadn't entered the forum yet: it's styling your sidebar but not the rest of the page. You see you have the old-style banner still, and the sidebar is too skinny; it's cut off at the right.

You can fix this by switching themes in Settings, or just wait a while, because it will go away when Century becomes default.

I figured this would be the place for it,I got around to trying the new Century theme,It's real nice, I like it.

Just one nations opinion out here in NS-land

[Indig0]

i like the new theme that you will put on because of that green globe thing in the banner. makes it more colorful.
