I am undecided and really not happy with the way my terrain looks.

What do you think is better. The black, the brown, or the original dalaran?

The black costs me 160kb and looks horrible against the trim grass, but hot everywhere else. I like it. Except for that.

The brown or the purple save me good space. But the purple is old and brown isn't very exciting.

NONE of the other cliff tiles really give me what I want.

I can also change the black to a stone gray or something too.
 
I spent a few hours yesterday night trying to find a different icon and buff icon for the heal, abolish magic, and inner fire abilities, only to find out after finishing that the original ones made by Blizzard still looked a billion and a half times better than the ones I had labored so hard on.

My point is, Blizzard's Dalaran looks fantastic, even if it is a bit boring and uninspired.
 
I like the black and Sunken Ruins. The pink looks ugly and boring but the black has a little bit more life. And the Sunken Ruins gives it that more "foresty" feel while Barrens gives it a desertish feel to it. If you want to save more space then go with the brown but never ever go with the pink it is down right ugly.
 
The quality of the Sunken Ruins tileset, in my humble opinion, greatly exceeds the quality of the older Barren tileset.

The brown tile perhaps looks rather ugly, but the purple tile looks abominable in my insight. The black tile, however, looks a lot better.

At the other hand, it's important that the map's size is not unnecessarily too large. I'd replace the black tile by the brown tile.
 
The Barren Doodads are not suitable with the Sunken Ruins tiles.

The Sunken Ruins tileset also has a more extensive list of doodads, and its doodads are certainly of higher quality.

Finally, the Barren Doodads instigate the sphere of a barren, dry, empty, abandoned and forsaken place.

    I love the Trending Content!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    New News Forum World News
  • The Helper The Helper:
    How often does the Trending Content box refresh?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Also, in the last template there was a seperation between sticky threads and regular threads in the forum
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Not sure. It's probably part of a cron job.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Hey Ghan, whatever cron job its part of its not running its been the same for days. If it does not work can we remove it?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    LOL! A tweak job!
  • The Helper The Helper:
    this is the fix I get from that yeah this is hard to control. disabling bots is pretty much necessary as ai and other bots would push really old threads to the top. reduce weight of view count. disable guest view tracking if you really want to push active threads to the top. a bit of tinkering for a few days with the weights and other settings should get you a decent trending widget box.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I changed the settings a bit.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Narrowed it to 7 days for the half-life and set views to 0 weight.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I dont think Trending would work for this forum it would be better to just have the last 5 posts from anywhere
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably will have to give it some time to update.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I'm guessing it is not retroactive.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Next on the punch list: Update the server to Ubuntu 24.04.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Mad Lads is new I see it displays original post date
  • The Helper The Helper:
    as long as it changes it is good - it is good now it updated and its new stuff
  • The Helper The Helper:
    One thing I have noticed and I dont know if it is by design but like 1 out of 3 times I come to the site the Anubis screen just hangs open, if I refresh it will go away but sometimes it hangs
  • Ghan Ghan:
    I've seen that as well.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Wow - the change in the stats are major. I kind of knew it was all bots but wow, to see the effect. Why the social media sites cant do something like this I have no idea.
  • Ghan Ghan:
    Probably inflates their numbers so they look better to advertisers.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Yeah google does not filter those bots. I remember when Apex was doing Google ads I saw the same IPs in there as I was seeing here - google is totally tracking all those bots as traffic and most google traffic, at least ours, was all bots
  • The Helper The Helper:
    oh wow, i bet i can post x links now and do the webp pics now giggity
  • The Helper The Helper:
    ahh anubis blocks anyone that has javascript turned off
