Hate.

Click on your name in the upper right to go to the edit profile page. New option! Profile wallpaper! Upload a JPG. Anyone who visits your profile will be able to see your wallpaper. Exciting! Meanwhile, you will see your own wallpaper everywhere else. Dazzling!

Carlo said, (75 days ago)

Oh, score.

Fuck the other 50%.

Ghostie said, (75 days ago)

Oh! Rock on! I've changed my mind.

@ben: do you have it left or center aligned?

Sven PartyMaan said, (75 days ago)

thats friggen awesome.

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

uh, whatever is the default, so left, I guess.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

Can I have a toggle for center-aligned, purty please?!

Carlo said, (75 days ago)

I gave mine a wood panel to match my Firefox and Opera themes.

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

@corey - what's the css for that?

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

background-position: center center;

Ghostie said, (75 days ago)

Okay, I'm not sure this is very good idea. Some people have bad taste.

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

@Corey - ok done.

Sarah Les Pantyhose said, (75 days ago)

it looks really awesome, and then the page finishes loading and it's all white and grey again.

It's probably my fault.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

<3!

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

@Sarah - hrrmph. PM me.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

@sarah: yours looks like some sort of metal/rebar image

erica said, (75 days ago)

I'm not seeing anyone's wallpaper. But I hate the idea in theory so I guess that's okay.

beccah. said, (75 days ago)

ilikedginger said, (75 days ago)

Mine works for a second and is then covered in the white stuff.

JOHNNYYY!!!!!!! said, (75 days ago)

ApostlePeter Venkman said, (75 days ago)

Because the first thing I did was add a picture of myself

henny said, (75 days ago)

GUYS LOOK AT MY DINOSAURS!!!

Carlo said, (75 days ago)

Look how pretty it is: http://i26.tinypic.com/2qnwoxf.jpg

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

IT LOOKS SO REAL.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

@ben: the background-position is being added outside of the body selector block

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

@corey - fixed.

JOHNNYYY!!!!!!! said, (75 days ago)

Corey, that looks awful. How dare you code anything in that.

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

Yeah, it now makes me sick to look at your profile.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

Yay for cheesy drop shadows!

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

(I fixed it, btw)

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

GTI is wider than I thought it was. 1000px! perty darn wide.

Triangles said, (75 days ago)

Awesome!

Ghostie said, (75 days ago)

Hena, yours is the best ever!

Sven PartyMaan said, (75 days ago)

ok i pertty much have the best background ever.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

cheesy drop shadows now with more leaves!

Ghostie said, (75 days ago)

egads.

Ghostie said, (75 days ago)

egads.

Sven PartyMaan said, (75 days ago)

ok no. now i OFFICIALLY have the best background. TRY TO DISPUTE IT. TRY.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

Last feature request: background color!

Ghostie said, (75 days ago)

Sven- Is that Mr. feeny?

benbrown said, (75 days ago)

I added one last thing!

JOHNNYYY!!!!!!! said, (75 days ago)

Hm... I think the title should be italicized or stand out in some other way... kinda blends in with your posts, as it is currently.

And the wallpaper thing is effing godly, despite "Don't Repeat" not working.

Corey Hart said, (75 days ago)

"don't repeat" works for me...

Jesse said, (75 days ago)

it's only on the sides??? HATE IT.

ApostlePeter Venkman said, (75 days ago)

I don't think that pic does it justice.

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

yeah, we can see it fuji

ilikedginger said, (74 days ago)

Oh. I had a sidebar up. That's why mine wouldn't show before.

schlomo said, (74 days ago)

I hate that all the improvements aren't on the iPhone! No I don't really, I just wishes the iPhone can show animated gigs

ApostlePeter Venkman said, (74 days ago)

But it's not as big CH

ilikedginger said, (74 days ago)

I just fagged up my page so bad. But I couldn't let this tile go to waste.

schlomo said, (74 days ago)

I wanted to say "animated gifs", but the phone wouldnt let me.

JOHNNYYY!!!!!!! said, (74 days ago)

I love yours, Tiff.

le_sacre said, (74 days ago)

this is good and fine.  if you make it so that random music starts playing when i click on someone's page, i will freak the hell out and run away.

Joel Mushiking said, (74 days ago)

I assume that if you have an 800pixel screenresolution you won't see any wallpaperz?

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

@joel: if you have an 800px resolution, You'll have to scroll just to see all of GTI

Joel Mushiking said, (74 days ago)

@Corey: I can see a tiny bit of wallpaper at the bottom of the page, but scrolling won't show any other wallpapre on the sides, which is fine. Noone should design for 800px anyhow.

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

@joel: that all just depends on your philosophy of design.

erica said, (74 days ago)

What the eff, I still can't see the thing that I will probably hate.

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

@erica: what resolution do you have your screen set at?

erica said, (74 days ago)

1024x768

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

and what browser/operating system/etc do you use?

erica said, (74 days ago)

I have a mac with firefox 3.

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

last question:

Have you tried stretching your window as wide as it can go?

benbrown said, (74 days ago)

At 1024, there is probably only a tiny slice visible, as there would only be 24 pixels outside of the main content area, and most of that will be taken up by the scroll bar. You'll have to get a less crappy screen.

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

I noticed that if someone doesn't have a custom bg, it uses mine. That was confusing for a second.

I was like... "wtf? did tova copy me?!"

BTown said, (74 days ago)

sexy time ben

benbrown said, (74 days ago)

@corey - correct.

@btown - correct.

benbrown said, (74 days ago)

OK ONE LAST UPDATE BEFORE I HAVE TO GO PACK EVERYTHING INTO A BOX.

when you load a profile's personal domain, the goteam header will shrink down, so it looks kinda like any ol' blog page.

http://benbrown.goteaminternet.com

on my todo is to make the permalinks stay inside your domain, and also make the wallpaper stay the same as long as you are on the domain.

and update the footer so that it makes sense.

FYI, I am motivated by the desire to make Goteam my official blog.

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

@ben: Want some help with the site sometime this week/weekend?

erica said, (74 days ago)

How dare you call my nearly 3 year old ibook screen crappy!

SIGH. Technology.

JOHNNYYY!!!!!!! said, (74 days ago)

1280x1024 ftw

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

@erica: you could always try bumping up the resolution, if it'll let you.

benbrown said, (74 days ago)

@corey - I am moving starting basically right now through July 4th, so no, not this weekend!

Corey Hart said, (74 days ago)

hokie dokie.

Good luck with the move!
