The administration of SlothMud III is proud to present this newly themed website. It was a collaboration of several individuals with countless hours of work. We’d like to thank Wade Gustafson for the spectacular graphical design, Clink for the PHP coding and Splork for the overall coordination.
The SlothMud III Admin
Awesome redesign!
Thanks for your work, guys! :)
Nice, looks great, thanks :)
Very nice site design.
I think this calls for another Mudconnector advert post. :D
very fucking nice!
very impressive! I like it
Love the new site. Really looks good. The Sloth Admin is the BEST!!!
Love the new design, but is there any reason it can’t go to the full width of the screen?
:shock:

Yes. It is a fixed width set of imagery.
Had it bookmarked for a couple weeks now. Was wondering when it
was gonne be released into the wild. :)

It’s just a shame it’s all scrunched up down the left three quarters of the screen when viewed in 1280/1024.
:?
Good news, i like changes 8) !
Although, as for me, the very old player, information and usability
of this site are more important things.
Of course, design is matter, but.. think…
Most of new players come to web site firstly, and the even first impression
is very matter. According to first impression they decide if they want to
try playing or not. I am afraid, the first impression would be something like
“wow! it is a very dangerous world where players have to defend their lives
from terrible monsters every second!”… Those players who likes intensive
combats probably would start playing and soon some of them would get
disappointed becouse Sloth is not the world they expected. Those players,
who does not like horrible monsters and andless combats much, may
decide Sloth is not for them… and even would not try our world. :(
Splork, Clink and Wade Gustafson did great work. respect
Think, primary conception was mistaken. Again, it is only my opinion.
I would prefer less aggresive, calm and more associated with “family mud”
design.

Feel free to sumbit us your high quality, CSS/HTML implementation of the “family mud” graphical design. We now have the rest of the website code done in a way that it can be easily integrated. If it’s better than this one or at least equivalent, we could make it the default theme. Otherwise, we’ll let players choose which one they will see.
If you are looking for a specification, use Xanthia specification for PostNuke.
Cheers,
Clink
I think we need pictures of scantily clad women adventurers also – that would help attract people.
:D
looks great guys! nice work!
I would be utterly amazed if someone saw this website and did not spend some time reading about our game or logging in.
The quality of this site now ranks right up there with that of commercial muds.

Heck, I’d log on and have a look base solely on the qualily of this site. It’s beautiful. Wd and ty.
When I was looking for a MUD home, the website was one of the biggest things I looked at. To me, a poorly made webpage just reflected a poorly made MUD.
My only complaint is the same as some of the others; on high resolution desktops the whole website is scrunched onto the left side with 4 inches of blackness on the right. It also makes the forums look a bit scrunched because of this.
On your http://www.slothmud.org/themes/SlothIII/style/style.css add the following:
body {
margin: 0;
background: url(../images/slothIII_mainbg_full.jpg) repeat;
}
that should replace that black space with the same bg that’s in the page background.. although the edges wont line up, but may look better than the blackness.
You could ALTERNATIVELY try this to center everything.. it may or may not work depending on a few other things, but worth a try.
body {
margin: 0 auto; /* center on everything else */
text-align: center; /* center on ie */
padding: 0; /* setting border: 0 hoses ie5 win window inner well border */
background: url(../images/slothIII_mainbg_full.jpg) repeat;
}
html {
margin: 0; /* setting border: 0 hoses ie5 win window inner well border */
padding: 0;
}
Just wanted to say that I’m still impressed by the new website. It really rocks, very nice.
Website progress has been slow since its introduction but we are still slowly working on a few things.
Most notable, Broeggle is working on an Autoquest Module for us that will most likely be one of the highlights of the site.
