Psyringe: Now diving into the tutorial ... :)
Do take note that you will not understand it. A lot. So ask away, all of you. (yes I know I said it like a 100 times already, but that's just what this project stands and falls at)

Anyway, later today, I will add a tutorial on basic error and bughunting within Code::Blocks. Stay tuned!

Could you make a link back to the blog from the forum? That would be a big help when you need to switch back and forth.
Maybe I'm asking too much, but an RSS feed for the blog?

As I have seen what AndrewC was doing with the forum design yesterday, I'd say you don't have to worry about that when he's finished. Sadly, the design was broken, so he put up the default phpBB skin until he's finished.

I'm going to ask The Man about it. I hope it's not too much work, so far it seems that whatever I mention to AndrewC, he puts a lot of work into. I'm kind of afraid to ask anything more of him. He's far too kind.

No matter :) He did a great work
Yeah. We're having, ummm, technical issues at the time. I hope the site will be back as soon as possible - you know, you HAVE to encounter hiccups when you're starting, it'd be no fun without it :-P
In the meantime, if you are already doing the tutorials and have any questions, shoot.
aaaand it's up again

Note that you are asking us to shoot right at the moment when the blogpost asking us to not kill you is unavailable ... just pointing out the slight risk there. ;p

I'm reading through the tutorial and don't need the blog right now, still crossing my fingers that it can be fixed easily. :)

Once I'm done we'll have the same header for both the blog and the forum, so all the links from there will be on both pages. I'm just having some CSS trouble (and I know next to nothing about CSS) because some elements share the same CSS id but different properties, so the header looks good but the forum is way too big.

OK, the website should be back up and working properly.

Yeah, cross-browser CSSes are still giving me nightmares as well, especially with page layout.

Everything works well with tables (or divs that behave like tables), but as soon as you start moving away from those, things start behaving less predictably and browser incompatibilities start rearing their ugly heads.

I often circumvent those roadblocks with some good old fashioned Javascript scripting, though my understanding is that various css hacks are still more fashionable (better form apparently) if you have the patience for it.

Anyways, good luck with the project.

Is there no way for you to override their class definitions, and control them that way?

I live in Kentucky and tornadoes hit close to where I live. I still haven't heard anything from some of my cousins and one of my aunts. I'll try to do the tutorials anyway to take my mind off of things...

EDIT: My aunt and cousins finally got in contact with the rest of us and she's fine. As far as I know everyone in my family is alright.

Here are some jQuery selectors that are css compatible as well (from jQuery in Action):

* Matches any element.
E Matches all elements with tag name E.
E F Matches all elements with tag name F that are descendants of E.
E>F Matches all elements with tag name F that are direct children of E.
E+F Matches all elements with tag name F that are immediately preceded by sibling E.
E~F Matches all elements with tag name F preceded by any sibling E.
E.C Matches all elements with tag name E with class name C. Omitting E is the same as
*.C.
E#I Matches all elements with tag name E with the id of I. Omitting E is the same as *#I.
E[A] Matches all elements with tag name E that have attribute A of any value.
E[A=V] Matches all elements with tag name E that have attribute A whose value is exactly V.
E[A^=V] Matches all elements with tag name E that have attribute A whose value starts with V.
E[A$=V] Matches all elements with tag name E that have attribute A whose value ends with V.
E[A!=V] Matches all elements with tag name E that have attribute A whose value doesn’t match
the value V, or that lack attribute A completely.
E[A*=V] Matches all elements with tag name E that have attribute A whose value contains V.

Ex:

If I want all <a> tags that are descendant of a <div class="Menu"> tag, the css selector would look like this:

div.Menu a{
/* some css properties here */
}

There are also a couple of event base selectors like:

a:hover
{
/* some css properties here */
}

to define the style of all the links that have the mouse cursor hovering over.
