Not just another duck in the pond
The downloads and contact form stopped working after I upgraded to WordPress 2.6.2 yesterday. Sorry for the inconvenience, I’ll fix the problem later today. In the mean time, please download the themes from the MyBB Mods site and send email directly to webmaster@quacktacular.net.
Edit: The downloads and contact form are working again.
I finally moved the Inter-A website over to WordPress. There were a number of advantages to the move which I’ll outline below.
On top of the switch to WordPress, I also updated the theme of the site. Its a more minimalist and elegant. I also decided to bring the resolution back down 800px width. In a world with such disparity in resolution, its best practice just to keep as many people as happy as possible. In this case that meant supporting 800×600ers who were complaining about the change ever since I made it. I tried the experiment, my audience just isn’t ready for it yet.
So far I’m very happy with the move. We’ll see how it goes and wether or not its easy enough for technically challenged students and faculty to deal with.
I just updated for Dark Intentions for MyBB 1.4.2. You’ll also find a fluid (full window) version of the theme in the new package. An update for for N.Design is soon to follow, and I’m working on something new as well.

The world is full habits and quirks, and over time people come to accept all that quirkiness. A lot of the time it seems that acceptance evolves into some sort of dependence. Soon we find ourselves addicted to the way things work. This can be observed in everyday life, but if you’re looking for some proof right now take a look at the reaction to the “New Facebook”. It sounds like a great number of people absolutely hate it. But what is it that people hate?
Some of you may have seen my post on the MyBB Community Forums yesterday. I put up a screenshot and beta version for download, and today I think Dark Intentions (1.4.1) is ready its real release. The theme brings a sleek, high-contrast look to MyBB and increases ergonomics of the GUI. The K2/WordPress inspired header gives you quick access to important features and pages at-a-glance, and the enhanced breadcrumb makes its easier to see which page your on and where you’ve been. Buttons have been changed from images to HTML elements to save bandwidth and to facilitate some nifty rollovers.
Dark Intentions is full of cool stuff, and I have more great plans for it in the future. To change the tagline (under your forums name), login to your Admin CP > Templates and Style tab > Templates > Dark Intentions > header > header > and you should be able to edit the text to you’re liking there. I plan to introduce a plugin to make changing the tagline and other elements of Dark Intentions easier. Worth noting are the facts that some of the buttons are hardcoded English. This is because there was no usable lang variables for some. They can easily be adjusted for your language (easier I say than Photoshoping every single button). Also, this version doesn’t include the multiquote feature, but I plan to fix this in a subsequent release in the coming weeks (I’ll provide update instructions too).
Anyways, enjoy the theme and thanks for tolerating the long wait.
