Re: Progress Bar
I'd say crappy artwork, but reasonably accurate information included in that progress bar;)
Re: Progress Bar
This one will have a negative effect on those who ask
SHS` "percent bar" can suggest that the developement is at 50%... this addresses that issue
Code: Select all

Wow, good thing your knowledge of XML syntax is up to scratch, or else I might not have realised that you were being sarcastic!

Re: Progress Bar
If you think my graph implies it's 50% done then you really need to go back to Maths class. Yours makes incorrect assumptions of "completeness" by virtue of proportions used.APTX wrote: SHS` "percent bar" can suggest that the developement is at 50%... this addresses that issue

Re: Progress Bar
I said it can suggest that it's at 50% (maybe I should have used may). I know that you r graph doesn't give any information but the graphical presentation makes it look (for some people) like it's half-done.

Re: Progress Bar
I understand the "graphics." I just wanted to have an indication, that actually told me something I didn't know already. I'm sorry if thats too hard or you can't release that information. I will check phpbb next month, to see if it is done.the_dan wrote:Change n to x if it makes it any clearer to you.mastermike707 wrote: <sarcasm>Wow, you guys are so helpful!</sarcasm>

Moral of the story (drumroll please...)
Don't check, don't ask. Sign up for the phpBB release e-mail (found on the downoads page of http://www.phpbb.com) and move on with your life.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, margarita in one hand - chocolate in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO! - What a Ride!"
