My soon-to-be-bald-ass head

Posted by bob Jul. 16, 2007 @ 9:41 PM EDT

Man, it was so hard finding a picture of myself for my userpage I just gave up. There simply aren't any recent photos of me without a giant afro.

I jokingly announced back in February that I wasn't going to cut my hair until the redesign was launched. I had no idea that it would take until mid-summer to finally pump this thing out. So, here I am without any pictures of myself that match the user icon of myself that Jeff created for me over a year ago. (It also doesn't help that I've gained a bunch of weight, either.)

But I'll work on shaving off this mane o' hair and uploading some fantastic pic of myself soon. Until then, enjoy the layout that we've been working on for the past year. I'm proud to be the father of the CSS portion of the design. There are a few things that I could have done a little cleaner, but hindsight is always 20/20. There's still plenty left to do, but even before we get to that there is plenty of stuff that I've written since this first little bit that we're just not ready to debut yet. Just prepare yourself: it's going to be a feature-laden year.

Jul. 17, 2007 | 4:56 PM amargo says:

Bob I like the sort-of-fro! But you can always grow it back. It is SYMBOLIC.

Sorry if it is creepy that I am commenting considering I've only met you once. D:

yeah you came in that one time to pick up a donation check or something for a fundraiser? or am i completely wrong?

: feature-laden year
pff i'll beleive it when I see it. But on a happier note, the forums are lookin sharp

Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:15 AM bob responds:

all these respondin's are helpin' me debug the text jiggle. only happens on every-OTHER-response for some fucking reason?


Jul. 17, 2007 | 10:13 PM boundless says:

when do the new features come out? lolololol good job everything is working pretty well SO FAR

Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:16 AM bob responds:

this one isn't jiggling. so that's good. you know, instead of PMs it would have been better to start a blog post and list them all here. people would be able to see how i respond to each one.


Jul. 18, 2007 | 12:18 AM Xybernet says:

Oh my god I'm talking to bob! Go Bob!

Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:17 AM bob responds:

OMG i need to test ban someone. could it be you....? nah, because this text is a-jigglin'. jiggle jiggle jiggle. wtf? stupid firefox, you could have been so perfect.


Jul. 18, 2007 | 2:40 AM SevenSeize says:

You guys did such a good job, seriously. AWESOME! Kudos to you guys. :-)

Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:17 AM bob responds:

aw shucks thanks.

AFRO BUDDIES, NOOOOO

Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:18 AM bob responds:

HAHAHA. I'll probably keep it at LEAST for comic-con, since you'll be there *blushing*.

lololol. anyway, after that it'll be another whole year so i'll shave it then.


Jul. 18, 2007 | 4:42 AM UberBarista says:

Bald is better. The ladies love to rub it too. :D

On a side note, I am getting extra long BBS pages in topics. Long black space under the last post and bottom header that seems to keep extending on and on. Just curious... how bad does it looks for Safari users with image uploads? :(

Jul. 18, 2007 | 5:20 AM bob responds:

good questions, both. the safari black void is a known issue. johnnyutah seems to get it now and then. we want to see if things settle first. lots o' javascript could be causing it.

next, the image uploads plain old don't work. iframes are picky bastards, and safari is bad for styling form elements to begin with....

so in answer: i've got no answer.


Jul. 18, 2007 | 9:56 AM JediKiller1 says:

Lot of cool features. Good work!

Jul. 18, 2007 | 9:57 AM bob responds:

thanks.


Jul. 18, 2007 | 2:12 PM CaptainBob says:

Shaving that lovely peusdo-fro would be crime imo.

Jul. 19, 2007 | 5:08 PM bob responds:

i'm going to commit mass murder in 2 weeks. :)


Jul. 18, 2007 | 9:52 PM amargo says:

You are completely wrong; I am Mike (programmer Mike!)'s girlfriend! That's ok though hah.

If the username is too long it offsets the entire page, at least while the movie is under judgement. I dont know if this affects it after this, but I assume so. (Movie is currently under judgement)

Jul. 19, 2007 | 5:22 PM bob responds:

unfortunately, there's no accounting for taste. if people want to make their submission pages ugly buy fucking with their names, that's their perogative.


Jul. 20, 2007 | 12:03 AM Nelson says:

does the redesign not accept animated GIF's as user images now? i uploaded a small animated GIF which appeared and played in the preview after uploading, but it hasn't come up as my user image on my user page


Jul. 21, 2007 | 1:37 AM blamkitty says:

I seem to be automaticly logged off of newgrounds quite much.
Do you know what's up with this? Safety feature?


Jul. 21, 2007 | 1:38 AM blamkitty says:

sorry for second post please delete my two posts posted here...I posted in the wrong area >_<


Jul. 21, 2007 | 10:59 PM Lagerkapo says:

I'm in love with the new layout. It's so shiny and mezmerizing.... Like your head will soon be! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


Jul. 23, 2007 | 12:56 PM pulse7587 says:

hey, I've been getting some bugs concerning flash reviews. when I go to "my account", all my "flash portal options" are in gray, even though my reviews still exist. also, if I click on another NG user's "flash movie reviews" in his profile, nothing happens. it's pretty weird.

Jul. 23, 2007 | 5:23 PM bob responds:

Man, if I had a nickel....

Tom specifically said in his announcement post that viewing reviews would be temporarily disabled.


Jul. 23, 2007 | 5:50 PM Muff1nm4nx says:

Question on the secrets page for cake. It is not there was there an update or was it misplaced for some reason. Thought it should be posted up.

Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:01 PM bob responds:

secrets are on the way.

I dont know if it's just me, but when i scroll over the navigation bar, the bottom half of the button turns black. This only happens with the main navigation, though.

Jul. 23, 2007 | 9:17 PM dabboy says:

password problem

i created my account when a four letter password was acceptable. now that the passwords must be a atleast six letters i can not change anything. i have not run into a problem with logging on mostly because i have checked to "stay jacked in" or w/e it is, but i first encountered a problem when trying to sign up to get emails about new movies and games. when trying to click submit after filling in my info the site informed me that passwords must be 6+ letters. when trying to change my password i couldnt because when i clicked submit my password wasnt 6+ letters... please help?

Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:01 PM bob responds:

yeah, simple: choose a new password.


Jul. 23, 2007 | 9:56 PM AceAnimation says:

before it is totally bald, you must shave it into a mohawk, so then it will be a fro-hawk.

k sry for that

Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:01 PM bob responds:

will do.


Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:14 PM Total-Havok says:

Why shave?


Jul. 23, 2007 | 10:34 PM Gein says:

Jul. 24, 2007 | 8:42 PM idt75 says:

Hey magnificent work on the redesign, congrats :D

A problem i noticed is that since the redesign the "review crew pick" award doesn't appear on entries. Because "Dad's at Work" is supposed to have it and its not there (entries that had it before the redesign still have it)
well maybe not a bug, but still the award is missing and also it doesnt appear on Sakupen's user page

good luck

Just a minor issue, but why aren't the Portal emails being sent


Jul. 25, 2007 | 2:43 AM Maktaka says:

Some questions:

1) What are your intentions regarding the Pop-up link for watching videos. I much prefer this system since the new flash "window" locks the active tab until the video window is closed, seems to prevent pre-loaders from appearing properly, and prevents me from downloading the video for future perusal without having to hit up the server every time.

2) Any thoughts on an improved performance mode? Running this new redesign on a P3 1.13 GHZ machine on a mid-level DSL line during a recent vacation was slow to load, sluggish to respond, and generally a pain in the ass. Give me a way to download less and have the smooth animations disabled (just snap open and closed) or you're probably going to lose some users with lower-end machines.

3) Can you guys manually set the text color on these textboxes? Using a dark skin (dark background, light text) using either a customized Windows XP default skin or using Windowblinds make writing in these textboxes nearly impossible. I've had to switch basic to the boring basic Windows XP skin just to write this comment.


Jul. 25, 2007 | 2:45 AM Maktaka says:

Totally forgot this, but the Newgrounds secrets you get for earning experience don't work anymore. I just get the new 404 page. I want my cake damnit!


Jul. 25, 2007 | 3:27 AM Randomini says:

While you upload music, you can't edit the title or anything else while it is being uploaded. Not really important, just letting you know. In case you didn't already.


Jul. 25, 2007 | 9:22 AM Jaren33307 says:

the pages were you watch movies or play games is to long for my screen and when i scroll down it follows the screen. So i can't click or read things below it.


Jul. 25, 2007 | 2:55 PM Whirlguy says:

Hi there Bob. I wanted to share something. I dont really consider it a bug, but I think the following definitely needs some changing. When writing a review, the score is automaticly set to 0. Now, Im sure there are many others like me here that forget to set scores when they write a review. And I dont want to give people zeros for nothing. I would like to get a warning message or something in that direction?

Or even better would be if newgrounds would set up an editing feature. For forumposts, reviews, flash and music icons, and even music itsself to be edited. Maybe even deleting options?^-^

Anyway, I did my share(:

Jul. 25, 2007 | 8:07 PM phar0n says:

hum... I can't see any header on the site...
flash or image

I'm not shure but I think it began before the redesing, so the problem may be from my system...


Jul. 26, 2007 | 2:45 AM Euromaster says:

I've got 2 bugs:

1. when you set the volume on the audioplayer and then change where the position slider is, the volume gets reset to 100.

2. sometimes bytesize won't load a movie when clicking back or fowards, you just get static.


Jul. 27, 2007 | 1:38 AM xXxAlecxXx says:

yo bob when i try to submit a movie it says you have ben banned for submitting 2 movie in the past week that have ben blammed i submitted those 2 months ago


Jul. 27, 2007 | 1:54 AM Mr-Contradiction says:

The "points until level" are still bugged, they dont recognize the next level, heres what i got:

With that vote, you now have 4,445 experience points. You need -5 more to get to Level 21. The next Grounds Gold day begins in 22 hours, 9 minutes, and 45 seconds

when im already lvl 21, so yeah, fixed one problem and created another, im glad i finished the only programming im ever gonna do last year :3
