Orioni Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Since December 2015 I have set the forum background image to a winter theme: https://sites.google.com/site/orionieuropa/...-protonmail.jpg For the upcoming spring season, I was thinking of changing to something else. And, as always, this is open to suggestion. When summer comes around, I may go with this desert scene although nothing is set in stone: 1. http://whois.domaintools.com/images/backgr...esert-hills.jpg 2. https://cdn.thinglink.me/api/image/49276821...10/scaletowidth 3. http://imgprix.com/web/wallpapers/desert-b...y/1920x1080.jpg And then of course there is autumn. 0 Quote Link to comment
Adaptus Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 How about a nice field with blossoming flowers. Or something similar? 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Certainly possible. Feel free to share some links. I can always try and see if things are compatible with our blue colour scheme. 0 Quote Link to comment
Jilderen Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Plenty of blue flowers... Also, the snow is gone? 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I switched off the snow when January ended. But t will be back when December comes around. Would you like to play with it some more? Here is the script that powers it all. http://www.schillmania.com/projects/snowstorm/ 0 Quote Link to comment
Jilderen Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Oh, no... I don't mind it being gone. 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Perhaps I can change the snowflakes into flowers and we can all become hippies. 0 Quote Link to comment

Orioni Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 I wish I could like/upvote/star your posts. I really do. 0 Quote Link to comment
Suverina Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I wish I could like/upvote/star your posts. I really do. Can't we add that as a feature? I've seen another invisionfree board that has it. 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 InvisionPower has it. I'm unsure if InvisionFree can replicate this. Giving everyone the possibility to upvote something would mean storing this information in a database somewhere. I highly doubt that a free script would be able to do this. Maybe locally, by storing the info in a browser cookie, but only you would be able to see that. 0 Quote Link to comment
Adaptus Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 A couple of Spring themed backgrounds? http://prettywallpapershd.com/spring-wallp...nature-gh8.html http://www.besthdwallpapersio.com/wp-conte...per-Desktop.jpg http://hdwpro.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/...g-Wallpaper.jpg http://prettywallpapershd.com/wp-content/u...desktop_dm2.jpg http://www.download-free-wallpaper.com/img...adolnqovlbj.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 4, 2016 Author Share Posted February 4, 2016 Thank you very much every. I can work with these ideas. When spring comes around you'll notice the changes and see the final results. 0 Quote Link to comment

That forum says "Powered by IPDynamic Lite" but when one clicks it it re-directs to https://www.invisionpower.com/ just like our "Powered by Invision Power Board" link does. They had like and dislike buttons, but named differently. But I notice now that that forum doesn't anymore. 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 The service we use, InvisionFree, is a licensed version of InvisionPower Board v1.3. Throughout the years the original has been updated quite a lot, being at v4 right now. However, we who use this free, licensed version do not benefit from this. The two are different companies. That is the reason why there is such a lively hacking community around InvisionFree, because that is the only way to add new features. I have already investigated what it would costs to export our database and import it into a paid version of InvisionPower. Quite costly to say the least. 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted June 1, 2016 Author Share Posted June 1, 2016 Updating the winter mountain background image https://sites.google.com/site/orionieuropa/...-protonmail.jpg to something else for this summer, based on the suggestions made above. These were the final choices: * Desert sands http://www.walldevil.com/wallpapers/w17/pi...wers-spring.jpg * Spring flowers http://www.walldevil.com/wallpapers/w17/pi...wers-spring.jpg * Green sunrise http://kingofwallpapers.com/spring/spring-028.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted July 3, 2016 Author Share Posted July 3, 2016 This past spring we sported a sunny and green landscape. https://sites.google.com/site/orionieuropa/green-sunrise.jpg Today I am changing this to a more maritime theme, in the hope of prompting more RP-action. https://sites.google.com/site/orionieuropa/navy-fleet.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Spring has come around again, so back to a green landscape we go. https://sites.google.com/site/orionieuropa/...ican-meteor.jpg I had toyed with making the blue horizontal title bar into green as well, but that just looked weird. Still, if anyone wishes to propose the next background image, this suggestion box remains open. 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 Not sure how you guys are doing, but where I live it has been really sunny these past weeks. Time to shed our spring theme and choose a summer background image. These are the proposals we had last year. Everyone is invited to share their own proposals. We will decide with a simple poll. 1. Desert sands https://whois.domaintools.com/images/backgr...esert-hills.jpg 2. Spring flowers https://www.walldevil.com/wallpapers/w17/pi...wers-spring.jpg 3. Green sunrise http://kingofwallpapers.com/spring/spring-028.jpg 4. One of these other nature pictures http://hdwpro.com/category/nature 0 Quote Link to comment
Sunset Sea Islands Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) I've found a few summery pictures. I hope you'll like them.

Orioni Posted May 31, 2017 Author Share Posted May 31, 2017 And here I half expected you to propose a tropical beach paradise. 0 Quote Link to comment
Sunset Sea Islands Posted May 31, 2017 Share Posted May 31, 2017 And here I half expected you to propose a tropical beach paradise. I was thinking about that, but I think taking pride in being a part of Europa is more important than foolish local patriotism. Of course the last picture was taken on the cliffs of Liberty Island. ^^ ...not that I would mind looking at some beautiful Sunset Sea Islandian beaches... 0 Quote Link to comment
Magnaeus Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 (edited) Maybe a beech yes or a lake that will be nice. I like a good holiday destination. Or maybe a nice old city with people walking down the streets like Rome or Athens. Edit: some examples. Rome http://cdn.pcwallart.com/images/rome-streets-wallpaper-3.jpg http://demo.rockettheme.com/live/joomla/ra...20of%20rome.jpg http://cdn.pcwallart.com/images/rome-wallpaper-3.jpg http://www.lonelyplanet.com/travel-blog/ti...a_Antica_cs.jpg Santorini http://easyconferences.eu/issc2016/images/santorini-bg1.jpg http://www.lonelyplanet.com/travel-blog/ti...antorini_CS.jpg Dubrovnik https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/comm...rovnik_pano.jpg Edited June 4, 2017 by Magnaeus (see edit history) 0 Quote Link to comment
Sunset Sea Islands Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 Santorini http://easyconferences.eu/issc2016/images/santorini-bg1.jpg Wow! That's beautiful! Wouldn't mind that as a background. 0 Quote Link to comment
Orioni Posted June 4, 2017 Author Share Posted June 4, 2017 That settles it. I like Santorini as well. Nice find Magnaeus. I have set this as our new background for the summer. https://sites.google.com/site/orionieuropa/...rini-summer.jpg 0 Quote Link to comment
