Forum section backgrounds

Black Mesa Archive Website Issues
#1

So, the desert imaging in the background of the forum pages is new? Or have I just not noticed it.

Regardless, very cool, small change, big difference :slight_smile:
.

#2

It’s some version of the surface tension skybox. Does look kinda leet.

#3

Oh I just wanted to make a thread about this a mimute ago…Good thing I refreshed the page because it wasn’t here a min ago. Agree with the others, looks decent :wink:

#4

I didn’t even notice until I saw this thread. Sucks it’s aligned to the bottom. I would suggest using the homepage background possibly as another choice?

#5

looks pretty freakin’ awesome

#6

I noticed it a few times when the page was loading. I’d see some image flash by in a second. Thought it was some kind of subliminal messaging until I scrolled down and shat brix.

#7

Ohh nice!

#8

Maybe it could made into a fixed background, where it stays the same even when you scroll?
Unless it’s intentionally at the very bottom, of course.

#9

I support that idea.

#10

Yes please. It’s very eye candy-y and I want to see it all the time.

#11

I thought it wasn’t loading correctly, because I saw it at the top for about two seconds, then I scrolled down to post, and there it is.

I agree that having it fixed would be a nice touch.

#12

I don’t think it’ll look good. Well IMO every fixed background doesn’t look good, because there’s always a lag when you scroll the page that makes it very annoying.

#13

Why not keep the original rocky background texture and have this new one at the same time? That would look quite good I reckon.

#14

^this

I shat brix

#15

Agreed

#16

Yeah I was going to make a thread until I realised maybe I just havn’t been seeing them and they’ve been there forever.

#17

From a web developer perspective, that’s a bit more difficult to accomplish than having one or the other. I still know how to do it though… maybe the team should ask me to be apprentice web dev? :smiley:
Jk, srsly, Hubi’s got this site in the bag. I like it much!

#18

I like it how it is now, a fixed background would add a strange effect of the page floating above the background, though, which can be cool sometimes.

#19

I like that effect, looks awesome imho
