Well, I was thinking this long ago and I finally decided to write it here. The idea of customizing the Games HUB.
For what? To attract more new players.
and that sort of thing? The colors and buttons.
for Members? I want this to be for all developers.

Well, there's nothing stopping you from making your own hub off of the BYOND site. People have attempted to 'customize' their hub, and all they really succeeded in doing was making it look terrible (I'd post links, but you can really see it on any generic naruto game, where they list all of their captains, or whatever).
Moreover, how will this attract more players? To be honest, I don't think many people read hubs anymore. | |

Yes, making own hub. But 1/4 of byond knows how to do that. | |
hmmm...but CSS to the hub sounds good, i don't mean as far as being about to use java script and all that because thats just dangerous but if i were at least able to use the style tag instead of having to type "<font color='#CCCCCC' size=7 family='Comic Sans Ms'><span style="boder: 1px solid red...">" over and over again cause last time i tried it didn't work D:

basicly members have the ability to manipulate there css to some extent for there blogs, my request is hub page owners also be given such abilities when pasteing the html into the textbox window to display things on there hubpages like news, snipplets or just general information,
ive wrote a small css script for my hub to make some announcement boxes and list be alot more nicer looking than just raw html would offer, the only trouble is dosnt work nor dose linking a style sheet, sofar the only method is embending it into the tags itself, but when u have tags that have alot of parts to it it can sometimes be a pain | |
Allowing the <link> tag is not feasible because we can't allow offsite CSS (for several reasons). Allowing an embedded <style> tag might be acceptable if we can parse that to be friendly to the hub page.
There are several complicating factors however. One in particular is that the same filter for this also governs blog posts, and whatever method was used to parse the CSS would have to apply to both. On member blogs we solved the headbar issue by forcing all CSS to act within the container itself. For posts and hub entries, the name of the container would have to be constant to work properly for filtering purposes. | |
i understand the danger with < link> because of the damage it can cause the main page, when viewing the game hub, < style> is what i was trying to do.
Just by adding things like .game_messagebox {blah} into the top of the html code used for my games information is all i was aiming for, this will allow game owners then to have boxes with backgrounds that can be shaded. Maybe make the tags use a suffix, like game_ so then nothing can be overwritten on the actualy theme, facebooks css when viewed show up as app_ even when not actualy setup as app_. It'd be nice to beable to create things like notifacation boxes that will catch peoples eyes and draw them into reading information unlike now were people tend to ignore text because its not presented nicely, | |
This was discussed on the forums a while ago if I'm not mistaken.
