Nice :p
I have a question and a suggestion,
About the "Change Password" and "Change E-Mail".. This can change others accounts info or just the own/logged account?

A suggestion:
Make a "Add Cash/DPoints" Function. It would be good :p

[DeadMouse]

The change E-Mail and password are for the very own logged account.
Might add the cash feature aswell.

Thank You.

Looks awesome Edward. I coded a little part in Stefans Admin panel to update DP and VP. I then coded the Vote panel to add vp and when you donate to get DP. Here it is: Screenshot by Lightshot

Edward, if you'd like help designing I'd be more than happy to help :)

[DeadMouse]

Adding more dPoints or vPoints isn't a big deal tho.

And thank you for offering help :)

When I finish the project and release it, we can work it out the design and just add the updated to the post,
the way the template works in this panel it's sooooooo simple, so we could actually change the design without much problem.

a "control panel" should use simple fonts and icons for operations.
u will get problems if the user doesnt have the font installed if not local located, or u will get browser complications if not added a oet alternate.
plus, its a dam control panel xD there is no need for any eye catcher at all, it doesnt look professional.

then, for what u need social share code? this isnt a community website or something. a control panel should be always fast, and i mentioned many things loading while starting your page (most by share code, specially g+), so for a control panel it already wastes much.

also, dont use iframes, if u need a seperated part, use the CSS alternate (overflow) or you force loading in loading .... costs more ressources again.

then, prevent using img tags for design components, i prefer to use the background-image css specification. It prevents to use the image options on right click.

and then dont use the <center> tag (might not XHTML valid). set a div around the login form, set width and height and finally margin: 0 auto; to force a valid strict XHTML centering.

and then again (xD) dont use tables if u dont draw any table. draw a table on showing datasets, but dont put it into <form> tags to structurate your <input> tags. use divs in divs to build rows and cols, just dont fail at your math, remember ...
total width = margin-left + outline-left-width + border-left-width + padding-left + width + padding-right + border-right-width + outline-right-width + margin-right
edit: learning asp atm, oh sry it seems even ASP.NET makes tables on forms on special web controls. i never did it, but microsoft does. doesnt mean its good, but its not bad too, i hope -.-.

Its his control panel he does what the fuck he wants lol. If he wants to add things he can. Weather or not it takes up resources etc it doesnt really matter lol. He's a good coder and he knows what to do and what not to do.

DeadMouse,
You look like you are a good coder. But I don't like the design you have made. A colourful control-panel would look good for me but not only for me, others people maybe going to like it also.

[spikensbror]

DeadMouse,
You look like you are a good coder.

No way to tell, no source code.

AS MY PREVIOUS POST SAID, keep everything easy to read, stick to proven standards, make a lighter template.

lol are u raging at me?
look at his first post:

Any kind of suggestions are accepted!

so i gave him my true mind on his project, fully independent, im not here to lead ppl how to program, but he asked for suggestions and i gave him mine from my state of view.

ofc its up to him what he does at the end, and idc this release, since i dont need a control panel for flyff, however i still look over it and give him my true minds (that are maybe hard convicted), since there is always a way to improve it, on every project!
i even do that on my own projects to improve constantly as much as possible.
its called developing progress.

Well basiclly the very top header isn't from the control panel (the one with facebook, google+ and twitter plugins).

The iframe isn't from the control panel, it's from EdwardScripts where I uploaded the template so you guys could see how it looks.

And about the font, it won't cause any problem since I'm using the feature on CSS

@font-face {    font-family:Times New Yorker;    src: url('font/times_new_yorker.ttf');} 

So it will work no matter if you have or not such font installed.

About the center tag, you're right, it's not valid on html5 neither.

And about using tables, I don't see any problem using tbls without drawing them, they're quite useful for organization.

Cheers.

I'm learning ASP.NET as well, and honestly, it gave me what I never knew. Loving the CSS + HTML validation.

@ot {
The panel needs work. On my computer, it takes literally around 5-10 seconds to load all the images/fonts you're calling. Also, it's good practice to have <!DOCTYPE html> on the top of your page so it's validated as HTML5.

There's a problem with that statement. @font-face is a CSS3 specification, which not all browsers have support for.

Take a look at this, and find it in the list of features: CSS3 Reference

I did look at the browser-support page on w3s, but at Mozilla they state @font-face has basic support in quite an old IE version; number 4. I'm also quite sure I've used it in IE7 (not by changing the compatibility mode or document mode, but an IE7 installation which hasn't got CSS3) and it worked great. The test page from Mozzila with @font-face works fine here in IE7 at the moment, so I wouldn't say @font-face is CSS3 only, as it's CSS2 as well.

As seen here: Web fonts with @font-face - CSS3 . Info

Not exactly a feature which is new to CSS3, @font-face was first proposed for CSS2 and has been implemented in Internet Explorer since version 5!

So bottomline, they probably did an update on @font-face in CSS3.
