There are some special CSS class names you need to know in order to modify your post layout, and it's all tied to your user#.

If you hover over your user name to the left side of one of your posts the tooltip will show your user number [e.g. FallenElf86 (71) or binaryatrocity(1)]. Once you've got that number the rest is pretty easy, your post layout consists of "sidebar_#" and "topbar_#". For example, fallenelf86 could do something like this:

Header:


Footer:


Of course this is an insanely obnoxious purple and yellow layout but it clearly shows you how the different parts of your post are separated. Of course there is tons more you can do (change the way the quote/code box looks, all sorts of stuff), if you need help with anything in particular just shoot me a PM. Post Layouts are one thing AcmlmBoard always did right. That username number is actually how you link to a profile as well (like I did to fallenelf86 above and right here) by doing [ user = # ] (without spaces). Have fun!

Just a few notes:
-Notice TOPBAR is split into _1 and _2, _1 is above your user info, _2 is above the post itself.
-SmallFonts = the text area, so in sidebar that effects just the square with your postcount, in mainbar it effects the post text itself
-Notice all of the !importants. This overrides the default for that class if it's already declared in the themes CSS, so if you try something and it isn't showing up, try adding that.

I had fun last night!

My Earth Shaker was pretty horrific, but over-all a great time!
I would rate the amount of fun I had on the scale of 1 to drunk, i was....drunk.

That is because I was too lazy to create a test account and PowerLevel 1 is Local Mod not Normal User. Should be all fixed now, give it a go. Sorry

Let it be known, that on Monday, the 10th of September, 2012 one fallenelf86 was the first user to successfully create a custom post-layout, and as such has been honored by the Staff with the title "HTML Wizard", to forever appear above his most sacred post count.

Lookin' sexy bro, nice work!

I played the shit out of the XBox version. Beat it a few times. Can't remember when i had that much fun.

I am not sure if I am going to pick up the PC, or wait for the DLC on the Xbox. I can only assume the community would have a much longer life on the PC. It is and has been my favorite game in a very long time. If you are in Anor Londo, i would suggest the Painted World! Its pretty fun, and there is an invasion in there.

I would really recommend playing the game through as a human, it adds alot to the game. I missed alot the first time around because of it.

Yeah I tried it out as well tonight as was pretty impressed. I really like their controller based keyboard (Xbox live should take notes) and it seemed super smooth. My guess is that they are going to get into movies and tv shows here in the next year. Would be awesome if they added support for media play directly from Steam. If they added that I think I would ditch my XBOX for my tv media device in a heartbeat.

So...I noticed the Dota University section off of the main page....Is there any interest in updating that? Or was anyone planning on it?

I specifically went there to learn more about Warding, because i literally know nothing about it. I saw it was on the list to-do, but I was not sure if getting that section up and running was still in the works?

Just curious.

He already has emotional problems, that's why he got a dog.

I think on my first character, i used the Winged Spear I found in the graveyard at the beginning of the game, and upgraded it to scale with my Int. I want to say the modifiers that scale with your own stats are the best. Lighting is pretty powerful though.

I was never a big fan of Qualeogs Fury...or however you spell it....I never had that much Humanity to have it be very effective.

Yeah, i would say the Thief build is pretty tough for the first time around, but so satisfying when you can kill most things in 1 hit! Backstabbing and Parrying is awesome! Bosses Hard Master Key awesome!

If you killed the chica in the Painted World, i believe you can use her soul to build a bad-ass dagger...Priscilla Dagger I believe? I think its supposed to be one of the best in the game.

If i was going to get it on the PC, i think I would need to get a Wireless XBox controller adapter, I heard playing on the Keyboard is awful.

I've never seen or heard about this game in my life that I can recall. I love RPG's. Post a video that will sell me on it!

I spoke to a few of the new guys and asked what they thought and what could be changed and a few of them either wanted captains mode and the others wanted not so serious games so I think we need to have waiting rooms for each of the game types and lots and lots of free channels to use with inhouse titles on each.I do not mind helping out at all but we also need to remind people to join on mumble on other days not just sunday. Also some kinda way to report C**unts to people so everyone enjoys a nice relaxed time playing dota.

From a new guy perspective......

I like Captains mode in a sense that it does seem to create a bit more balance for the more experienced players, i.e...Anti-Mage is not just stomping around on people, I get a chance to learn a bit of strategy.

At the same time, I am not familiar with all the characters, so its hard to be put in a position where I have no idea what I am doing with someone. Granted, maybe its probably a good thing to play some characters I would normally not choose, but it is disheartening to just bring the team down, no matter if its a serious game or not.

First of all, thanks for some really nice games yesterday guys; I certainly had a lot of fun .
I think with yesterdays turnout being so high, we might consider two days of inhouses per week or maybe a coaching day, where new players could get help with the nitty-gritty of their favorite hero.
I am not the biggest fan of randomizing the teams as it tends to lead to very one-sided games, especially when one team doesn't have an experienced captain and the other does. I much prefer captains drafting players (maybe with Irish players being auto-banned ) like we've done in the past to alleviate this problem.
To zap_brannigan456 and all the other new players who might be a bit anxious about captain's mode, don't worry about letting your team down, as long we communicate and have fun, it's all good
