A New Updated Flopping Aces – UPDATE

Loading

Will be arriving this weekend. Gonna look quite different.

I’m sure there will be kinks to work out so bear with me.

UPDATE

Aaaaand, we’re back. Been a few hurdles trying to get this site up and running over the weekend which also means it was reverted to its last backup which was Friday so unfortunately all comments and post since then are up in smoke. Sorry about that. There will be minor glitches and stuff along the way to get this new site up and running. If anyone comes across something please let me know.

Aye, aye sir!

As long as you stay awesome, I’m in!!

Just don’t fall up the stairs! I just hope the picture of a firearm doesn’t incite me to commit violence.

Well, now your home page looks like so many other news aggregator websites out there. Welcome to the ordinary.
I prefer the old site layout.
The articles and commentary will keep me coming back, as always. The optics have never been a big deal.

Edit: And our names still aren’t highlighted when we have our own website. I give up.
At least they’re clickable, that’s something, I guess.

Love the B-17!

Comment IS GOOD

Impressive! update was overdue. Excellent

Like the “Home” button. Can something be done with the “Comment” in the comment box? Apparently, if you don’t manually delete it, it stays in the comment.
Comment

Your original commenting system includes shortcuts to “Quote” to BOLD, to italicize and to link.
Now those are gone.
Does your outside commenting system support those shortcuts?

I’m liking the new format a lot more than I thought I would! Me being old school and liking the Aces front and center & all that…

One minor quibble, Curt – I thought you were going to finally update the Authors page? Not a biggie but I have been a contributor here for a few years now & was hoping to finally see my name in lights =8^)

Nice! No profile pics though? I thought that the good readers at FA deserve the chance to look at the creepy grin on my avatar!

Aw, bummer! I guess my South Park avatar will work if it’s not too out of synch with the new theme. But can you email me the image file for the old avatar? I know that you sent it to me initially but that was a few laptops ago

Now our names are highlighted! Thanks, Curt. Appreciate it. When my next page comes up at 2000 today, I’ll post a link here in my own comments section.

I don’t know if this is a result of the site still being worked on, but when we get an email notifying us of a new comment, when the link is clicked, the site doesn’t take us directly to the comment, only to the topic. This may be due to “under construction” as the comment blocks no longer have the buttons for quote, bold, etc. Just sayin’.

Hey, waddayaknow… it works!

Wow. Awesome new look! Kudos Curt!

I’m also not seeing Tags showing in our posts. Was that a slip up or do Tags not matter in searches anymore given how the Bigs suppress certain sites?

That too =8^)

Fantastic Artwork- The B-17 is GREAT. Also the blog layout is also great. You “knocked it out of the park”!

I meant to say how much I love the new Flopping Aces art and layout.
I especially appreciate the “floating” links back to “home, active discussions, authors, submit post and about.

One thing that’s changed is a clue as to how many comments a topic has UNLESS you click on it to find out.
I used to be able to note, this topic has 5 comments, so as to click on it after it upped that number.
Now I have to click on topics only to find out no new comments have been added yet.
But it is a small thing.

I was pleased you liked the idea enough to use, it was you that brought it together in such a cool way.
