Mod to Member ratio... (Current Discussion: Forum Specific Images)

[RedStarWarrior]

Hrm, well I suppose unless people have serious complaints with it, we should implement the new (old) post icons when it's possible. Everyone I've talked and read seems to be liking the changes going on. Also, someone should be assigned to finding/editing/creating buttons and icons that look better on the darker backgrounds and that (hopefully) return some more nostalgia to the board.

A new topic is my choosing now, huh? Well then, how about since the Pokéballs are coming back, we get back on track with the coloration of mods.

With the Pokéballs back, the moderators will soon be seen as different by the number of Pokéballs, thus eliminating the need for coloration or bolding or possibly both. Maybe if it becomes too similar and people can't tell anymore, we could change the Pokéball images to be those of Great Balls instead (with Super-Mods getting Ultra Balls, and Admins getting Master Balls).

EDIT: Mind, I still like the coloration/bolding of names, I'm simply throwing this out as an idea to appease those that are vehemently against it.

I'm working on it. Jesus...fucking impatient motherfuckers!

I remember almost 9 years ago, when i used to end every post of mine with the 'lance' smiley. he was looking all cool, with purple hair, oh that lance.

I agree shazza should have smaller balls than everyone else...

but more to the point, i suggest a 'POWER WEEK' where each of us takes it upon themselves to help get the forums 'back out there' to the pokay community. id love more than sex, for this place to become half as active as it once was.

so yeah, power week. but with a catchier name.

maybe 'work hard week'. its nice.

EDIT: IT DID WORK! IT REALLY DID!

Oh I see…I went to reply to get the names of the current post icons and see that the new ones simply got added. I was thinking actually replacing each one with the corresponding "UBB" icons. That way all the current topics will have their icons replaced, plus the default will change to the UBB "Note" icon.

I wish I could, but I'm afraid I can't replace files on the server. Just add new ones with different names. :-/

Thanks for digging for the images! I'll put them in their right place later, after I return from my Chinese caligraphy class.

Welcome back, Jay and Teresa! It's nice to see you again!

Alright then, is there any way to at least set the "default icon" to be the clearer Post icon? (That's the one I set for this post, btw.)

Apparently not.

Bummer…I guess we could see if Kevin could replace the files on the server, possibly.

Back on the other images to replace, what other images are there that need to have an "updated" look to them? I know the Edit and Quote buttons are a couple, but I don't have the originals from '00-'03 to make an updated copy of them. I'm also sure there are a couple buttons normal members don't see (like moderate, split/join post, etc.) that I would want to update as well.

Also, if they need to be in GIF format I can re-save them as such. PNG just looks a heck of a lot better.
