Here's the design history.
have to tell this before I take all the credit for it ;)
When I wanted to design TUS, I had designed some other site and I was out of ideas.
So darkmaul asked BigBilly about the design. BigBilly made his design and send that to me. Which was this :
(https://www.tus-wa.com/images/bbdesign.jpg)
Unfortunately (Or fortunately ;)) his design didn't work in IE6 and had some problems for my codes. So I decided to code his design by that image.
I started with the clouds, when I was putting them in the sky, I thought what if those clouds swing! after making them swing I thought about moving them to right and left ...
and then all other things you see now came to my mind.
I know this design is somehow completely different from BigBilly's. But I gotta say If I had never seen his design, I would never come up with this.
So first of all, Thanks to BigBilly :)
the design looks really cool
Yea i like it too monkey :P very gj thus far :-* 4 u ;]
yea, I love this design too, it is absolutely awesome
I am looking forward to setting my "scheme" to cheese or snow :D
Could we have bigger avatars plz? ;)
I made them bigger, But your avatar original size atm is small, Look how much Xray's got bigger ;)
woo I got afraid of that huge silly mouse :D
gotta change that tus logo... I go like :o everytime I see it..
I guess its ok :\
One thing is the header, it is a bit BIG! OK first im relieved the cheap option wasn't taken and used flash, but the header is like on a 1440x900 res screen taking up half the top page. Could you perhaps shrink it.
I know I've told MonkeyIsland, I may as well say here as well
test for sigxD
can you remove captcha from PM? it's really annoying
>:( :o >:(
First 5 PMs need captcha. Then It will be removed :)
hello. some advice from myself! i didnt read all suggestions, maybe i repeat someone, then im sorry.
WELL:
the background texture change if u click 'Home' or 'Guides' or 'Schemes'.
that isnt serious imo and looks ugly.
i know that u can change the texture and fix it to 1 texture but it should be normal in official version of TuS.
p.s. sorry for my bad english.
greetings! Cry
You mean texture of the pages shouldn't change by random? and it must be one?
Cry just change that in your profile, fool :)
Monkey, is it possible to make non-transparent background for avatars? It kinda messes up few.
I know that I can turn off transparency completely, so maybe I'm just whining. :P
Actually, Making the site work the same in almost every browser was so hard.
Unfortunately different browsers behave different in this kind of transparency (Opacity)
I searched a lot for this thing for images. But couldn't find anything that suits for TUS. So that I came up with transparency removing solution myself.
I can make the avatar lose opacity but in IE. (Taking advantage of one of IEs non-standard behaviours :D)
I respect your work on how that site looks, but I dont like it. I just hope you could add "lite" (or smth like that) optional layout, so people could actually find something (+removing water, clouds etc.). Or if it's impossible, then at least add option "remove transparency", because as far as I see, it's only possible to turn off transparency in 1 area at the time (the one where mouse pointer is).

Click "Edit Profile" on the left. Then click on "Forum Profile Information" and scroll down to "Site Look Options"...
I don't know what you mean by "lite" option. If it means that you could be able to remove water or clouds,
I can add water layers options, like you could choose between 1, 3 or 5 layers. But I can't remove water at all, Because site won't have any footer.
But about the clouds, by setting it to 2, there will be no moving clouds up there, just 2 clouds that won't move.
I have promised BigBilly to put his design as an option too, that has no clouds or water or transparency. Maybe that won't give you a headache. But it just would take some time.
Oh yea and I will add removing transparency at all too. :)

Been there, done that way before I posted here. Seemed kinda obvious for me, sadly not for you.
I'd like to congratulate the guy who "did" the design. It is good, extraordinary, out of common. It is amazing how you tuned the SMF, very well done.
Thanks man, Glad you like it ^^
btw Welcome to TUS :)
You're welcome but there's one thing that's bugging me: Rating system. Are you using any formula based on ELO?
I didn't get you, sorry.
Probably as I didn't get you it means I'm not using some kind of "formula based on ELO".
Come in details please :)
Have you read this (https://www.tus-wa.com/forums/index.php?topic=22.0) already?
By the Way. Where is my Billy Design? :D
The billy design need to be adjust. and it IS going to be there.
One promise at a time ;)

That's cool :) but I'm dropping the support for old browsers soon.
