Pixel Point

Board Name: Pixel Point
Link: https://pixel-point.net
Focus: Graphic design, web design, photography, everything in between.
Highlights: If this isn't allowed, feel free to delete. We aren't open yet.

Originally was actually going to be a ZetaBoards resource forum back in 2011-2012, with a staff team of myself, tokyodrift, jackson and crouck. The current theme is heavily inspired by the theme that was going to be used on our launch. Life got in the way of things and we never actually opened.

Potentially a soft launch coming soon. I'm still working out quite a few kinks with the current theme and the light/dark mode, learning the variables, etc. I've tried keeping the theme very sleek and professional, while being tasteful in areas.

I may have plans to potentially release themes to the public there, but this was all built within the last couple of days due to ZetaBoards nostalgia and being inspired to create something again. There also aren't a ton of Forum Spark forums out there, so it may feel a bit redundant to create a separate board for resources, although I would love for this to grow. It's been a pleasure working on the forum. I haven't had this much fun since 2010-2014.

We will have custom widgets/web pages for Pixel Point specifically, such as the gradient generator, palette generator/palette of the week, etc. Screenshots are attached.

Very nice theme!

Minor Updates:

Current mini-profile and profile redesign is basically done. Not sure exactly what to put in the right column just yet because every time I tried putting the bio over there, everything broke. Regardless of that, I'm really enjoying the customization that has been enabled for us to create what we want.

I have a soft launch planned for June 1st, obviously things can change between now and then though.

Looks stunning!

Just a fair warning. Any new stuff coming from releases uses the theme variants ln custom themes. What I mean by that is that I design new features based on the default themes. To make sure new features aren’t broken or show as blank pages, I add a line in the blades (pages) where it uses theme variants for custom themes. Depending on the complexity and wanted appearance, you may need to additionally style the new pages when they are released. Just so you don’t freak out. 😜

Things will probably break but it'll give me an excuse to sit down for another 5+ hours to try and fix it.

I just want to chime in and say I love this! I think I remember seeing you around Zetaboards, I wasn't too active on the support forums. I definitely look forward to joining Pixel-Point when it's opened to the public!

Looking to potentially add one or two more staff members before launch. The theme is mostly complete unless something breaks on the next update (which will be fixed hopefully pretty quickly. DM me if interested. :)

Also looking for theme testers. I can pre-register you an account if you want to test the theme, see if anything breaks, or if there are any defaults left.

@Cedric's comments on the theme..

Mate, this is unbelievably beautiful. Well done... I'm madly in love, haha.

Hey there, been super busy with quite a few things irl. I finished most of the theme and then a LOT of updates got pushed out around 2.0 and I never really got around to updating everything. It doesn’t seem like too many things were broken but it added a lot of stress being the only one developing the theme, coming up with ideas, and trying to push towards opening. I got stuck with the forum layout and there were plenty of things that I just wasn’t 100% satisfied with on my end with developing.

I also started to worry about the past issues with graphic design boards. I love the theme but it’s super wonky in some areas after i think 1.6 or something got pushed out and it made me reconsider things.

I think there’s still potential for this to open, but I’d need to potentially re-evaluate the direction of things.

Going to potentially give this another go. I’ll start with adjusting some of the theme (again it doesn’t look like too much was broken from the 2.0 launch, so that shouldn’t be too much of an issue. I’m just stagnant on what features I want to provide. I know that I’m always super flip-floppy on how much I graphic design, so it may open to potential themes as well as that’s always been a passion of mine (not sure as the forum platform already has tons of options with the marketplace here), but I’ve always wanted to push this towards opening.

I may even start with a clean slate and code something with the new theme features that were released with 2.0 and scrap the current theme. I’m not entirely sure. If you are interested though, feel free to message me and I can set you up with a per-registered account and we can go from there.

I’ve gotten a ton of interest in the forum itself but I’m just not entirely sure what direction I want to go with at this time. Thank you all for the kind words though. 💕
