Require assistance with design update


Recommended Posts

HTML (skilled) - Pff I can make HTML do back flips if I really want to :rofl:

XHTML Validation - All my sites are XHTML Transitional Valid :)

Javascripting - I can get around no problems with java

PHP (some knowledge) - PHP I'm not the BEST at, but I do know quite a bit (and it does say "some knowledge")

Graphics - I am good at graphics.. or so I like to think, but define good and then I can say yay or nay to that :p

There's only one problem : / the time limit. March is mostly school, and then april is mostly holidays.

But *shrug* if NW needs help I'm always willing to give a hand :]

HTML: Skilled

XHTML Validation: Skilled in Transitional validation.

Javascripting: General understanding. I can modify it but I can't write it from scratch. :/

PHP: I code almost everything in PHP. I have a PHP & MYSQL CMS in the works (almost done too).

Graphics: Skilled in Photoshop.

Available from 10-12PM Eastern Monday - Friday. After 7PM Saturdays and all day Sundays. I'd prefer working on Sundays since I have them free and nothing to do on them.

As for the monetary reward: I can honestly say that getting anything in return would be a bonus, but not necessary. Adding my work on the Neowin layout to my portfolio would be enough. :D

Check my site for examples of my work.

From what I remember they need someone in PHP the most. From reading here I see a few that say they are awesome in PHP, I'd recommend for them to apply.

It is hard though to find someone good in coding (in a multitude of languages) and creative. There is only 24 hours in a day to learn languages and/or graphic programs and the fact that at a certain age you will start forgetting things.

#EDIT: And im experienced in theming/customising IPB ;)

happy?: P

We need someone who will be able to help code the new side-menu system. I want to be able to hide specific menu items and have the site remember which menu items are opened and closed. The options need to go in a pop-up assistant for the updated My Neowin menu (and portal links).

I recently did something like this for the Intranet site for my company. Even wrote a cool sorta fadey slide-in/out animation for it (cross browser, of course). Also did some draggable popup-windows (loads separate HTML in an iframe) for a couple of our side-bar widgets (our weather widget is the best I've ever seen, on any site). It all looks very smooth thanks to the animation class I wrote. The site also uses several forms of "AJAX", including a JS class I wrote that does automatic updates through HTML tag to XML tag bindings, some updates from CSV files, and a few direct innerHTML updates. I also recently wrote an app that uses things like drag-and-drop and behind the scenes AJAX updates to the server. I'm a huge fan of client side updates and hitting the server as little as possible, and I think my work is very good evidence of this.

As far as skillsets go, I like to think I'm pretty decent at JavaScript, and have decent HTML and graphics skills. My server-side experience is in JSPs and servlets, although I did write a small PHP site a few years back.

Not sure all of what you're needing help with, but if it's just a side-bar menu system, I could probably help you out with that.

I can give you 2 people to help, one Graphics guy (CSS, XHTML, Graphics creation such as... www.thetechaven.com, thetechaven.com/nalbum/keine_lust/) and then the coder for that site, (PHP, Javascript, AJAX, MYSQL).

I myself would enjoy to help a large growing community.

Please email (dpeters @ thetechaven . com) if you are interested.

Thankyou.

Hey,

HTML - Know very well.

CSS - Also, very fluent.

XHTML Validating - Sorry not much experience or knowledge here.

PHP - Pretty broad knowledge.

Graphic Design - Been using photoshop for almost two years.

IPB Skinning - Made more IPB skins than had hot dinners :)

If you would like, contact me on msn - dan[at]danielellis.net

I know both HTML and XHTML really well; every site and page I code (even my 404 error pages!) are always validated. Same story with my CSS, with no errors. I know a hell of a lot of PHP too, and I'm pretty good with XML. I have an ok knowledge of Javascript too. :)

I've been using, modding and skinning IPB since version 1.2, and have always tried to get these 100% valid too :)

I've also been using Photoshop since version 5, and I pretty much know it inside out ;)

I spend over 8 hours a day online, usually more, and I would love to help Neowin wherever possible (Y)

    • Tor Browser 15.0.15 by Razvan Serea Protect your privacy. Defend yourself against network surveillance and traffic analysis. Tor is a network of virtual tunnels that allows people and groups to improve their privacy and security on the Internet. The Tor software protects you by bouncing your communications around a distributed network of relays run by volunteers all around the world: it prevents somebody from watching your Internet connection and learning what sites you visit, it prevents the sites you visit from learning your physical location, and it lets you access sites which are blocked. The Tor Browser Bundle lets you use Tor on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux without needing to install any software. It can run off a USB flash drive, comes with a pre-configured web browser to protect your anonymity, and is self-contained. Tor Browser 15.0.15 changelog: All Platforms Updated NoScript to 13.6.20.1984 Updated Tor to 0.4.9.9 Bug tor-browser#42436: Allow for multiple configured (front, reflector) domain fronting pairs in Moat module Windows + macOS + Linux Bug tor-browser#44997: Captcha doesn't work in TB desktop Linux Bug tor-browser#44886: Backport tor-browser#44361: Notify Linux i686 users that they won't receive updates anymore Download: Tor Browser (64-bit) | Tor Browser (32-bit) | 109.0 MB (Open Source) View: Tor Browser Website | Other Operating Systems Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Less disk space means less bandwidth demands which means lower operating costs for service providers... that's where money talks. ... cuz it's not about improving video quality!... that's just marketing spin.
    • And thereby lies the rub. AV1 support is not as wide as paid analysts would have the industry believe. With AV2 around the corner, it's going cause more time backlog in adoption (how many recent purchasers will upgrade yet-again within the next 6-12 months? most would rather stay pat for another 1+ years before even thinking about upgrading their setups).
    • Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much needed feature by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily expanding OneDrive’s file management capabilities over the years, including for shared content and shortcuts, although it has had its flaws, too. The cloud storage platform introduced support for folder shortcuts several years ago, allowing users to pin frequently accessed shared folders from OneDrive, SharePoint, and Teams. Now, Microsoft is refining that experience further with a new way to organize those shortcuts as revealed in a recent Microsoft 365 roadmap addition. Previously, shortcuts added through the “Add shortcut to My files” option would appear alongside all other files and folders in the root of a user's OneDrive. And although it's meant to be useful, this approach could also create clutter along the way, especially for heavy users who may have to work with large numbers of shared folders across multiple projects and teams on their systems. This is where Microsoft’s latest feature comes in, as it is looking to address this inconvenience by giving users the option to place new shortcuts inside a dedicated “Shortcuts” folder instead. The feature is designed to keep shortcut links organized into a single location instead of scattering throughout the main OneDrive directory. Hence, the idea is to make navigation and usability easier and simpler. The first time a user chooses this option, OneDrive will automatically create the folder, and to help make it stand out from the other folders, the Shortcuts folder will have a distinct visual identity featuring a unique color and a building-style icon. That being said, the new Shortcuts will behave just like any other folder in OneDrive, and as such, users will be able to move it to a different location, rename it, share it with others, or remove it entirely if they prefer a different structure. You can view the entry on the Microsoft 365 roadmap website here. Currently, the feature is in the "in development" phase, but the tech giant expects the rollout to start next month (July 2026). Do keep in mind, though, that new feature rollouts often get delayed.
    • VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.123 alongside its annual developer conference, Build 2026. This release, as always, has a heavy focus on advanced AI agent integration and making the built-in browser more robust. Notably, this update brings big sync changes that keep your AI agents persistent across sessions. With this update, VS Code now supports cross-machine syncing for chat histories, touched files, repository contexts, and related PRs via GitHub accounts, tying users even more into Microsoft’s developer ecosystem. This update also introduces the new /chronicle command that allows you to query past sessions using natural language, generate instant standup reports, and get personal productivity insights. Microsoft has also made some improvements to network-dependent operations, it explains: “When a terminal command that is run by a local agent requires access to domains that are not configured as allowed domains, the command is automatically retried inside the sandbox with unrestricted network access. After that, if it still fails, it falls back to unsandboxed execution. This allows network-dependent operations such as git fetch to finish, while keeping filesystem protections in place.” Microsoft has not stopped there; in this update, it also allows developers to drag, drop, and pin multiple agent sessions side-by-side for easy code comparisons in real-time. It also introduces the Research Agent, accessible via /research. This is a read-only, depth-optimized tool that gets data from the web, local codebase, and GitHub to give you a Markdown report on complex APIs or unfamiliar code. Now, let’s talk about the integrated browser and some security enhancements. VS Code 1.123 features enhanced screenshot capture tools that allow for targeted Area Screenshots and Full Page Screenshots to send layout context instantly to AI chat. The address bar has also been revamped, supporting favorite pages and tab management. Finally, on the security front, this update introduces a safety-first two-hour delay on third-party extension auto-updates to safeguard against compromised or buggy releases. This release is now available for Windows, Mac, and Linux. If you have VS Code, keep an eye out for the update availability notification. If you still don’t have VS Code, you can get it here.
