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

[RedStarWarrior]

It's a despeckled version of the old image.

And here's a version with a die.

You missed a dot on the transparency (and the die doesn't look like it belongs).

I'll fix it as soon as I talk to my boss about something.

[RedStarWarrior]

Here you go...

EDIT: WTF? I'm uploading a PNG, but it's changing it to a JPG.

SECOND EDIT: I just made the background a grayish color that looks alright.

THIRD EDIT: Fuck it, just lost the image because I have to keep my work system clean. I'll redo it later. *is pissed at the forums*

[Houndoom_Lover]

D'aw, that's adorable!!!

:3 And the gaming section is the pink-red! That is so awesome.

[Lady Vulpix]

Saving as JPG introduces a lot of noise. Here's a PNG version with RSW's die.

Thank you. I didn't save it as a JPEG. It was a high quality PNG that this stupid forum attachment system kept changing to a JPEG for some damn reason.

GABI, I created these to replace the current images in the system by the same names (the large ones are for expanding/minimizing forum categories (and various other things) and the small ones for the online list and statistics). I made them transparent so that they should work better with more color schemes, but I have yet to test them on different schemes. I kept slight blue appearance around the edges because it makes the buttons look more silvery in my opinion...idk.

You can always use ImageShack, PostImage or PhotoBucket.

I take it we're using that one, then. I think it looks good.

I know, but I am at work, so I had limited time.

The PCG image will do for now, until we think of something different to incorporate clubs and games more (aside from just the die).

Anyway, please check my previous post. I edited some images into it that I think would come in handy.

[Lady Vulpix]

Strange... it seems that those buttons are not in the templates. Is it possible that they're not customizable? If only I had permission to replace files in the images directory...

*shrugs*

I realized that white wouldn't look too good on the main theme (as the background would be a light color. So, if you figure it out, here are some with black instead of white and some black with blue filled in... (two posts because of 5 upload limit)

[RedStarWarrior]

(previous post continued)

Now, I think they would look nice with a golden border, to match the font of the main forum image and the thread/reply buttons, but I don't have the time at the moment to adjust the hue of the borders/arrows. VP, want to do that?

[RedStarWarrior]

Nevermind!

How do these look?

[Master Rudy]

Well additional edits and tweaks may need to be made but I went ahead and saved those buttons Red posted and then did them with gold outlines/arrows. I took a quick screenshot of the many forum page and pulled that paticular shade of gold from our own font. Perhaps someone with better editing programs can take it from here. Since TPM itself is trying to tell me they are saved in an incorrect format despite them being gifs I've gone ahead and tossed them all into a compressed folder.


Also for reference that paticular shade of gold is 239, 219, 24 on a RGB color scale ^_~

EDIT-Dammit Kakarot! ALWAYS ONE STEP AHEAD!!!!!

Apologies. How do they look?

Actually, now that I look at it, you need to add a shadow to the die that merges into Pichu's shadow (which is kind of oddly done where the die is place).

[Lady Vulpix]

Please, people. Stop wasting your time on those buttons. I can't change them. If you really want to do something about it, you can try asking Kevin to give me permission to overwrite files in the images folder through the admin CP.

[Master Rudy]

Well my lovely computer/editing program refuses to open that file format. As a result the image preview I get by using Windows Explorer looks rather blurry when I zoom in. however from what I can tell it looks like you used more than one shade to give it a bit of depth. Mine used the sole shade of gold I mentioned and as a result may look a little flat compared to yours.

All in all from what I can see it doesn't look bad Red ^_~

My dear, I shall never stop!

Also, you managed to get a hold of him, so do it again, Ms. Gabi.

[Lady Vulpix]

It's not easy. I spent months trying to contact him until he finally replied. I have IMed him about this, but he did not reply. He probably didn't even read my messages.

That sounds more like a demand as opposed to a request right there. You gonna take that from the likes of HIM Gabi?
EDIT-Gah! I'm one step behind everyone today!
*kicks his dial up*

Yep. He's a real difficult one to get a hold of...

Just bug the shit out of him. Also, doesn't Chris has such control? See if you can get a hold of him as well.

I don't think Chris has it either. He doesn't have direct access to the server, and he couldn't do anything when the admin CP was broken.

Besides, why don't you try to 'bug' Kevin like you say, instead of telling me to do it?

He hasn't liked me since 2001 when I made some crack about him sleeping with Suzie. He has since demodded and banned me several times, only to have me start from scratch and work my way back up the chain. Ima skerred.

[Heald]

Nevermind!

How do these look?

What the fuck are these buttons meant to be for anyway?

[Lady Vulpix]

I see. That's definitely not the way to gain someone's favor.

Not that ordering people around is that much better.

Anyway, we're straying from the subject. Any new forum banner ideas?

[RedStarWarrior]

It was an obvious joke. Apparently, he had a crush on Suzie at the time.

Also, they are more suggestions than orders. Chillax, Gabs.

Misc. still needs one...

Something to incorporate news, religion, politics, music, television, etc.

BTW, I don't know if you can change it in AdminCP, but the quick edit function's font is white, while the background is a light color and it makes the font difficult to see.

I stand by my previous suggestion:

That's more of a Mt. Moon one.

[Houndoom_Lover]

Hahaha, I love you guys.

How far are we on the images? I've been a little slack this week...

[RedStarWarrior]

I've been busy.

[Houndoom_Lover]

:3 The good kind of busy that makes you tingly?

By the way, I like the blue and golden arrow up and down pointy things ^w^

We could track Kevin's home address down :0

[Blademaster]

Mt. Moon is silly. Hence the Clefairy queen we got there.

Misc. is serious. Hence why we need a serious banner warning people to tread lightly there. If they wish to tread at all, anyway.

[Drago]

Quit hating on misc, Blade.

Miscellaneous remains to me an emphasis on life in general. I wouldn't mind seeing some Pogeys in a kind of city atmosphere, some sort of bustling burg-type thing.
Or a Hitmonlee reading a newspaper. Hellz yeah. It's kinda similar to the old misc logo in a sense, what with the 'lee and the presence of a newspaper.

[Blademaster]

Not hating. I'm saying that Misc. has a... history... when dealing with topics such as politics and religion. This history incites a response from me similar to Ghost MISSINGNO. saying "This place ain't safe. You wanna stick around, be my guest. But the farther you go, the harder it'll get, until a vengeful Marowak soul comes to you in the dead of night and rips your heart out. So don't say I didn't warn you, buddy."

[shazza]

If you have Mt. Moon which has a warning sticky to be cautious as there are no rules, then what is meant to be the more friendly version of Mt. Moon, Miscellaneous Stuff, having a warning with a Ghost, it doesn\'t make TPM a very friendly place for kids that wish to discuss Pokemon and abroad.

[Master Rudy]

On another note here's something that I'm sure desperately needs to be done: Cleaning up the member list. As it stands you've got tons of people that signed up years ago who only posted once or twice. In some cases they never posted at all. Perhaps it's time to take care of that? Surely all those extra files on "members" who will never come here or miss the place has got to be eating up some kind of space :-/

[Jeff]

I remember Suzie saying a while back that that wasn't really necessary. Having extra members on the list doesn't have any performance impact and the extra space they take up on the server isn't significant.

[mr_pikachu]

I stand by my previous suggestion:




"GET OUT... GET OUT..."

I could kind of see that working for the main archive, actually. Remembering the ghosts of past threads... or something.

[shazza]

Here's the original Misc logo for reference:

[Lady Vulpix]

Ah, thanks, shazza.

I like that one.

Not sure if it is helpful, but I have RPG, TCG, and Anime in my profile for a year or more

The RPG one is still my favourite!!
