Template parse error

lol. I could've probably handled that. I used to work on video games/pinballs/jukeboxes. But I didn't get into computers by choice. I thought they were taking over our lives and we wouldn't be able to do anything for ourselves. Glad to see I was wrong....

Who would be interested in working on this? I should say we are a small donation run site, so I can't offer more than my thanks, well and some games for your laptop that we have up for download.

If you want that as a background, it's not terribly difficult to do, if I remember rightly.

Have a look at this:

http://playing.twaddlehosting.co.uk/index.php?theme=14

See how the background stays static, when you scroll up and down?

[Chalky]

You can't do much scrolling when all you see is the login page 

[kat]

Ah. I thought guests could see the portal.

[Chalky]

No, all we guests can see is a quality artistic image and the login box

[kat]

Can they see some parts, now?

[Chalky]

Can they see some parts, now?

Nope...

[kat]

Poo. Well, in a nutshell, the background stays put and everything else scrolls up and down, over it.

[Arantor]

background-attachment: fixed is a wonderful thing

[kat]

So are boobies.

Sorry, I got distracted... I just read Chalky's "Meet the weirdos" topic.

[Itchigotim]

I think a background would make my place harder to read. But I am open to all sorts of stuff.

[kat]

When you posted the pic, I kinda assumed it was for a background.

Thing is, if you make such images a full background, the colours will swamp the text.

If it wasn't for a background, where do you want it,?

[Itchigotim]

I don't want it, I was just showing what you can download.

[kat]

Oh, right! DOH!@ME!

I quite enjoyed Pinball Fantasies, on the Amiga. I liked the real life Terminator one, too. Pity I never found that table for a computer...

[Itchigotim]

Not a problem. You mean this one? With the software we use (freeware) anything done in the last, well, ever, can be re-created. We have what we call "desktop" versions (played on a laptop 4:3 or widescreen) or full screen. Fullscreen is a hi def tv turned sideways, specifically for pinball. The only thing you need is a good computer with a decent graphics card.

I reread everything and found I missed answering Colin's question. We are using Dark Classic as a theme.

I work the next 4 days, so I'll only be around a limited time during then (fri-mon), usually in the evenings 6-8pm cst. If anyone is interested in working on helping me with this, please let me know.

I think your site looks pretty groovy, as it is, myself. No point in making things look too cluttered, ay?

Nope. The Terminator one that I remember had a kinda gun thing, on the right. When the ball went in it, it swivelled and you had to shoot the ball from the gun thing, at targets. Mid-late eighties?

[Itchigotim]

Thank you.

I'm guessing late 80's to early 90's myself, but that's about the time I left the business.

I don't think we have a lot planned in terms of appearance, maybe adding some packages, though. But not until we get this fixed, no need to make this worse.

[Itchigotim]

What else can I look at/for about fixing this? I'm fully backed up.
No recent packages have been installed in about a month, but I don't think this problem goes quite that far back. I can't get into the package manager to see what's there, because of this error.

[Kindred]

Sorry. Pm me the URL, and account login info and il will try to take a look at it tomorrow or Monday.

[Itchigotim]

Thank you, PM sent, but I don't see a copy in my sent folder. It says it went through though.
