sigs

This repository is a backup and archive of the Mu Online forums signatures request page, created on 2008-2009.

The original website was hosted on Google Sites, Free Webs, and Photobucket before the services shut down or changed their free hosting policies.

The animated GIFs and large reference graphics files are now hosted on Firebase Storage to save space on GitHub. References to original assets that are still available on Photobucket are retained.

NOTE: The original site templates use static files and outdated HTML/JS approaches. Some functionality on various pages may not work on modern browsers.

   • /public/300x86
   • /public/downloads
   • /public/files

Usage

1. Run the localhost static website development environment.

2. Edit the existing static files from the ./public directory and wait for live reload. Your updates will reflect on the web browser.

   • http://localhost:3000/
     Loads assets and media from online storage references on photobucket and firebase storage.
   • http://localhost:3000/offline
     Loads assets and media from public local development environment references.

     • /public/downloads
     • /public/files

3. To include new static website files on live reload:

   • Stop the localhost dev server.
   • Create your new static (.html, .js, .css) files inside the ./public directory.
   • Re-start the dev server.
     npm run dev

4. Run the production static website (does not use live reload).
   npm run start
