Fellow AoE3 fans,
Welcome to our awesome new community site!
In the past months, this community has grown not only in size but in quality too. People are getting involved in this tournament, there are more participants in the betting tournament than there ever were on agesanc 4 years ago, and last weekend we had a whopping 450 viewers on the official stream. AoE3 is dead? I don??t think so!
This inspired us to build a new community site. We chose to use this existing board because it??s getting a decent amount of traffic due to the tournament, and we can keep hosting tournaments from here. This definitely won??t be the last one! We are also working together with most of the prominent community members and will make sure the content keeps on coming.
The forums have been restructured to take the focus away from the tournament and present it as more of a general community website. We hope that, instead of the gazillion different forums where AoE3 fans gather now, we can push this forum as the new agesanc and get everyone to gather here. We encourage all of you to advertise it any way you can. Word of mouth is our biggest weapon here!
Changes:
From now on, the home page will be the news page instead of the forum index. Most of the important links are on that page, and you can find your participated threads there as well as recently updated threads (on the right sidebar).
If you would still like the forum index as your homepage, the best way to do it is simply bookmark the following URL: forum
The new side bar shows useful community links, the forum index, streams (if they are live it will say so), and recently posted replays. Please don??t be shy and post your recs in the rec section, even if you??re not very good at the game. If you want tips, you??ll have them. There are plenty of top players active on this forum right now and I??m sure they??d all love to help out.
As for the people who made this happen:
- Incog is our main hero. He spent a lot of valuable free time to reskin the entire forums and make the side bar work like we want it to. He has all of our gratitude!
- WickedCossack (AKA TMOUllrich)
- Goodspeed
- Mitoe
- Edeholland
- Neuron
Of course we welcome any feedback and/or suggestions. Make sure you leave some in this thread or in the new "Site suggestions" board. Also, please message any of the above people if you would like to be included in the stream list.
Let's make this our new home. Enjoy!

By background of the forum do you mean background of the site or background of posts?neuron wrote:It''s better. Can the background for the forum be changed and the default font to a better font? Also the width of the posts is a bit too wide, imo, which makes you read a lot from left to right in one line. If you need help with CSS, I can contribute.

It was quite a ride, heh.
Anyway, these forums are taking their baby steps. So if anything isn't working as it looks like it should, either send me or someone else a PM, or post in site suggestions, we will get that fixed asap. Not 2 minutes ago we had a wild link to take care of. It's all good now.
Otherwise, this isn't quite the forum's final form. We have a couple of goals we'd like to attain for this site and we're more than willing to accept a helping hand from anyone who has either experience in web design or time (both wouldn't be bad). In particular, we're looking to implement a simple replay system in the future. Other replay sites such as AgeSanc and Game replays used PHP something to extract information from replay files and then post that information on the internet. We'd be interesting in doing the same thing' if you have experience with Javascript and some spare time, we would really like to hear from you. Similarly, we're looking to make it easier to go from this site to the Simple ELO ladders our excellent friends from Japan have made.
Other goodies include support for additional tournaments, right here on this site, as well as betting for each of those tournaments. Well, lots of stuff to look forward to anyway

It is, that''s you.neuron wrote:Background of the forum and site, so the area around the posts (left and right).
When I loaded the home page, it had a wood texture background (now it''s gone). Maybe the same could be used for the forum too?
The same wooden background is used everywhere. I''ve noticed it doesn''t always load on mobile though, maybe you have a bad connection and it fails to load, then loads the default background which is dark red?

yeah that''s exactly what it does :pneuron wrote:1920/1080
I don''t think that should matter, tho, because the forum''s CSS probably scales up and keeps proportions on higher or lower resolutions.
i was asking because of background. it might not look as good for someone using a 4k monitor. wasn''t sure!

neuron wrote:OK, it turns out it could be some cache stuff with Chromium. It loads right in Firefox.
PS. Well, actually not. The wood texture disappears once I log in using either Chromium or Firefox. So, doesn''t look like it''s from me. Yep, same stuff on IE 11. When I log in the textures and all the styling disappear.
Anyone else who can test this?
Seems to be connected to your account then, if it happens as soon as you log in..
Like wickedcossack mentioned, message one of us your skype info so we can communicate easier. Seems like we could use your help too, if you''re into web design. We don''t have access to the site''s source code though, that''s been one of the biggest challenges.

Oh, that may very well be the case for more people then. I disabled the default theme, so everyone should see this one now.
