Outlines missing? O.o
Tue Nov 30, 2004 1:52 pm
Has anyone else noticed that some outlines are missing? The boxes that used to be around items in your inventory and shop are now gone. I knew something was odd this morning, but I couldn't put my finger on it. 
Also, in the card games, the black card outlines are gone. This makes the cards really weird. In Sakmet Solitare, the cards are back up where they are supposed to be. The cards in Pyramids are moved up, too, but not they are all crowded in at the top. I don't think that game needed to be "fixed", but maybe whatever affects one affects the other for some reason? *shrug*
Has anyone noticed anything else affected by these changes or any other changes around the site?

Yes, outlines are missing. 
Maybe that's how they managed to put "ADZILLA THE BANNER MONSTER" at the top but still be able to say it only moves things down by around 12 pixels?

**POINTS** that's what's wrong!!!
Oh, I was staring at my inventory for almost 2min this morning, trying to figure out what was different!
So you say it's like that in shops, too? I liked it better with box outlines. It made the items less of a jumble on the screen.
I hope they put it back!!!

Yeah, it has been like this for many hours already, in fact it was changed at the same time as when they launched the new horrific banner. I think it makes things look more cluttered, I preferred it when there were outlines.

I preferred the outlines as well. It made everything look more organized.

I'm conducting a survey to see who wants the borders and who doesn't here. Go vote so we can know if the majority dislikes this change!

I agree. I went to my items this morning and everything looked all messy and I couldn't figure out why until I realized the outlines were gone.

Great... well I didn't have a problem with the missing outlines until I realized it's messing with non-flash games like pyramids. Look at this crap:

I like them for 2 reasons.
#1. The outlines do indeed make it more organized.
#2. I like seeing something and knowing all I have to do is "click within the box" to buy that item. I like having a border between it and other items, especially if I am hunting on wiz. I don't want to make the mistake of clicking that 99,999 np jelly next to the 10 np codestone by mistake because I can't see where one item starts and the next one ends. Having the boxes make me more secure...I smell scam possibilities all over otems with no borders.
...and can you imagine trying to buy a "escaped pixel" in a huge white background store? Ermmmm...ouch.

Val, the escaped pixel not being contained in it's box made me laugh! Thank you! I needed that.
I too prefer the outline. It seems tidier if nothing else.
Johnny, the Pyramids thing? that always happens to me if I get an RE while playing the game. Has always driven me nuts. Now it's just doing it all the time? Bleh!

I think she means that there are no outlines on the cards now too, and they look like one big white blob...not the crowding.
*points*
I could be wrong though.
But I don't remember there not being outlines on the cards.

ACK! My inventory! It looks like all my stuff just happened to be floating in the air.. albeit in a very orderly fashion.

The shift down for Pyramids and Solitare has been like that for a while, at least on Firefox since the new sidebar was implemented. I guss the new banner makes it shift down on all browsers now?
