Recognized Stuff

[edczxcvbnm]

This is another thing that has been bugging me forever. Why is the rank in ugly yellow(doesn't work against the forum colors) instead of a slick silver or platinum?

[Shoyku]

Pfft, it's better than orange. :aimx:

[edczxcvbnm]

No it isn't...I would take orange in an instant over this horrid yellow.

[Shoyku]

Well, that shut me up.

[Yamaneko]

The RM are not really recognized, they don't care about you. I blame the admins.:D

[Big Ogre Umaro]

Damn rank hack.

[eestlinc]

my rank is the best color. oh wait.

[Loony BoB]

Silver = Admin
Blue = CK
Green = SSS
Yellow = RM
Orange = SS

So you've lost out on all the good colours. Being blue and silver. We can't have people mistaking you for something that's better than what you are.

*flee*

[Leeza]

Personally, I think that the yellow rank colour is quite spiffy, but we do need one that's in purple. :)

[Del Murder]

How about the 'Enforcer' rank?

Lets make recognized members purple. Purple rules.

You forgot one Loony BoB

Banned = Pink

I always thought that Admin was grey also. Looks kind of bland and unsilvery.

[Dr Unne]

It's not yellow, it's GOLD. That's even better than silver.

[edczxcvbnm]

But its not better than Platinum :D

[Erdrick Holmes]

I feel that blood red for Immortal Corrupter, no real priviges.

Oh btw, what kind of priviliges to RMs get?

[edczxcvbnm]

I can open and close my own threads. That is it. I guess they feel we are responsible enough to not abuse that power.

[crono_logical]

I'll have the purple rank to myself if you don't mind :D

I guess it's not easy to make the rank change colour depending on the template being used? :p

[Spuuky]

I like yellow ranks.

[Shlup]

I have half a mind to make it the background color just so no one can see it. :aimmad:

[crono_logical]

Shame there's two background colours in each of two templates :D

[Heath]

Then we could change the board and make it all one colour and lose one of two nice shades of blue.
Or we could just give Clouty the "Outcast" rank in purple :p

[Nait]

NOW THAT WERE TALKING ABOUT THE COLOUR OF THE RM-TITLE


it sucks, I hate yellow, and that's not gold, SITE STAFF *spit* have Gold.


I want RED. Blood RED!

[edczxcvbnm]

I DARE YOU TO DO IT!

[Shlup]

I'll try to look into how to change the color when I see someone online who knows how, but first everyone'll have to actually pick a color that you can agree on, and then staff approval and all the lot.

If anyone has any suggestions for any title color changes, feel free to suggest colors instead of just whining about the yellow and orange and green. :p

[The Man]

Shlup: I'll talk to you on AIM later.

[Del Murder]

Yah, all the RM's need to agree on something. Nothing can go wrong here.

[edczxcvbnm]

I think we can all agree that we are more powerful than normal members!

[Nait]

[Red Wizard]

*shrug* I really don't care. It's not like it's that important, though if it were up to me I'd have it the same color as the default forum text.

[escobert]

How are RM's chosen anyways!? I think it's all a evil conspericy against me! AHHHHH *runs away*

[edczxcvbnm]

You have to not be a complete jerk and agree with everything they say...wait a minute...how the hell am I one then?

[Dr Unne]

Bleys might've added a text field to the main admin cp somewhere where you can change the color of the ranks. I remember he added fields for the colors of admins and mods at least, unless I'm remembering completely wrong. If you can't do it in the CP you have to change it in a couple places in the php files. showthread.php probably, maybe others. I don't remember. Bleys will know if you ask him.

Site Staff's color is orange, not gold. Recognized Members are gold, I tells ya.

[Nait]

No. Unne. It's PISS YELLOW. <i>GREENISH</i> piss yellow.


EDIT:

But I think I'll misuse this here quote. :D


<small>Orig. Pos. Dr. Un.</small>

Recognized Members are gold, I tells ya.


Feels good to be loved. :greenie:

[Leeza]

I think that, maybe, that was the whole reason for the Gold colour, Nait. :)

[Dr Unne]

*head explodes*

That's what I've been trying to say. Gold is good. It's so good, it's GOLD.

[Shlup]

I haven't seen a single person seriously suggest any acceptable colors. I think I'll take that as "We don't actually care, we just want to bitch."

[Nait]

-_-

I've been :skull::skull::skull::skull:ing suggesting red the whole time, when are you going to believe me?

[Agent Proto]

Would you rather like us use <font color="#F7C1C1">pretty pansy pink</font> or <font color="#F72323">light blood red</font>?

hmm

<font size="1"><font color="#F7C1C1">Recognized Member</font></font> or <font size="1"><font color="#F72323">Recognized Member</font></font>

Nah.. Red's not a good color choice. :p

[Nait]

OH MY GOD. IT IS SO BEAU. ;_;

[Dr Unne]

You didn't even spell it right. I don't see what's wrong with the gold anyways. *votes to keep the gold color*

[Yamaneko]

Unne's right y'know. Yellow is a bright color. Gold is a duller yellow. That's what the RM's have, dull yellow, or gold. The colors are fine how they are.

[Shlup]

Originally posted by ShlupQuack

[edczxcvbnm]

I SUGGESTED PLATINUM! It is shinnier than gold and more valuable than gold. It is the prefect color and it doesn't look like someone pissed all over the boards!

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

You kids don't know how good you've got it. If you hate the color so much, we can just revoke the title. And then we'll be making some calls to <b>your parents</b>.

[Shlup]

And what, ed, is your definition of paltinum translated into hex?

[Leeza]

Platinum would look too much like the Administrator colour. There is no way that the RM's are greater than Admins. I think they should be grateful for what they have and thank their own version of God for it every morning. Or give them yellow, since that's what colour that they think that it is anyways. Ungrateful little pups!

[eestlinc]

all of you are a bunch of whiney blowhards.

[edczxcvbnm]

I will figure it out tomarrow.

As for complaining. If I am going to have this title that grants me worthless powers and makes me somehow more elite than 95% percent of the board...I want it to look cool damn it. Just cuz you have no style *whisps hair back* Its like just soooooo-TACKY!!! HEEEELLO!

[Nait]

Recognised Member.
Recognised Member.
Recognised Member.

[Yamaneko]

If you call that first one Nait posted "gold", I'm going to die. That's fricken BRONZE.

[Loony BoB]

I think it's more of a orangey-brown. Orangey-orangey-brown.

[escobert]

Maybe pink heh

[bennator]

If only Nait could spell "Recognized".

[crono_logical]

Just change the z to an s in Recognised and leave the colour, and all will be fine :D

I don't want the purple rank anymore either, the blue one contrasts nicely with Arche's hair in my avatar :D

[The Man]

[Red Wizard]

My suggestion of the forum default color stands. If that isn't allowed, then make it something dark and completely impossible to see against the background colors... I mean brown would be nice.

[edczxcvbnm]

I would like to say that if you think the color that is currently is recognized member color is really gold...you must be pretty poor then. That is more like the color of FOOLS gold(not kidding) and not real gold. Real gold is much darker and dull.

The admin is probably silver as silver is dull and not all that shiny...which is why platinum kicks so much ass(I am working on it....somewhat).

The admin is probably silver as silver is dull and not all that shiny...which is why platinum kicks so much ass(I am working on it....somewhat). The admin colour is actually slightly purple, believe it or not. I checked using Photoshop, and it's a very faint purple. Yup.

[Del Murder]

I say we all devote any further time delegated for discussing this matter to volunteering at an orphanage instead.

[The Man]

You're a good man, Del Murder.

[Red Wizard]

Come, now... my insignificant and unearned text under my name being a yellow-ish color is much more important than some silly orphans... which gives me an idea. Gruel-colored recognized titles! Yay.

[Mikztsu]

When I got this rank, I said I would want mine pink. But they gave that awesome colour to BANNED people.:(

[Shlup]

I just don't know what to say anymore. :rolleyes2

[Shlup]

Ha! Pun. I like puns.

EDIT: How 'bout THIS (http://www.eyesonff.com/shlup/omfg.htm)?

[The Man]

That's perfect, Shlup. Well, it WOULD be perfect if only I were an RM. But since I'm not, no dice.

[Leeza]

Not bad, but I liked it better without the glow. :)

[eestlinc]

i'm glad to see Aaron has reduced himself to hinting that he should be a "recognized member".

[Shlup]

That's "<font face="verdana,arial,helvetica" size="1" color="#FFFFFF"><font style="filter:glow(color=#F26D7D, strength=3);height=1px"><font color="#FF0000">R</font><font color="#FF9900">e</font><font color="#FFFF00">c</font><font color="#00FF00">o</font><font color="#0000FF">g</font><font color="#993399">n</font><font color="#FF0000">i</font><font color="#FF9900">z</font><font color="#FFFF00">e</font><font color="#00FF00">d</font>

<font style="font-size: 50pt;">WHOA!</font>

That is awesome. I think everyone who has a title should have something that kicks equal ass...if not more ass than that. Maybe Knights could have some sort of spiky style writing...or something. Since we can't change what those say anyways they could be converted to a jpg or something so you don't have to create a font or something. I will post what I envision tomarrow man. This turning out to be pretty cool I must say.

[Shlup]

Yeah, like anyone would let me get away with changing anything to glowing rainbows. Sean would come over to my house with a chainsaw.

[edczxcvbnm]

But it looks so gnarly. Maybe try it for a week or take a general poll in general chat or something. Who knows. I am still doing my envisionment for a more kick ass title for everyone(everyone shall know your greatness knows no bounds!)

[Shlup]

Remember to be generous with the text effects. Everyone loves those.

[edczxcvbnm]

I totally will. I am going to go all out in PAINT...so don't expect cool stuff like the glowing text or anything. Just expect some cool looking writing mainly.

[Red Wizard]

...which will be totally useless for this application. You'd have to open up an HTML editor (preferably notepad) and use java/HTML code to modify the text. Remeber, the ranks aren't pictures, they are just text effects.

If they made me an admin, and especially if they gave me FTP access on top of that, that’d be another story altogether. This place would run so much more bloody efficiently you’d be amazed.

But of course they’ll never make me an admin. So I’m just stuck here suggesting they make me a Recognized Member. rofl

In all seriousness, though, methinks EoFF needs a third admin who actually bothers to come around more often than once a week though. And preferably who knows PHP well (like me, hint hint).

Oh yes.

Feel free to play with the settings. I can’t see how it looks at the moment, ’cause I’m not on Internet Explorer 6 for Windows or whatever the only browser that does those filters is.

[escobert]

Yeah I think they should have a universal way of choosing recognized members and let everyone know. At first I thaught It might be if you've been a member for a long time but, I've been a member of this site since before a lot of the staff. Then I thauhgt maybe it could be that you just have to post a lot or something but nah I dunno I'm just rambling on about stupid stuff again like usual...

I'm trying to keep composure while replying to this one.

1) You need to prove yourself as a Knight before you're made an admin, really. Same for FTP access.
2) We're as efficient as we want to be. The only reason we don't update things straight away is because we haven't come to a final decision - and that's only if there is a reason.
3) Phhhbt, nobody would be amazed. Being more efficient at EoFF would only mean you're jumping to conclusions and not giving enough discussion on matters. And FTP-wise, it's as efficient as it can get. Go look at the front page. And I'll have you know I spent over 20 hours in the weekend editing over half of the current pages in EoFF. ...much to Mandy's disgust >_>;; But yeah. :( Don't say the site isn't efficient coz right now, it's better than it's ever been, according to Unne =D
4) You haven't done anything that warrants you being a recognised member. Still.
5) Both BOU and Shlup are here everyday.
6) You make me cry.

[Del Murder]

The Man hinting that he should be an admin is just another part of Eyeson's great personality, like ed hating FFVI or Wyllius being scary.

[The Man]

Well, now that Bleys is back pretty much everything I said doesn't count now. I was under the impression he'd have been un-adminned for longer.

But again, since Bleys is an admin again, that argument is pretty much null and void. =P

I don't think you need to know any PHP to run forums. I know diddly-squat, but I don't have too many problems. Hacks are generally explained quite clearly, and that's pretty much the only time I need to deal with PHP. I'd imagine it's the same here.

Everyone needs some help, but there's no need to brag about it/ ask to become an admin/ criticise others/ whatever. I posted some advice for you about a database back-up at FG a few weeks ago, but that's because I wanted to help. There shouldn't be any alterior motives.

[The Man]

Yeah, good point. Then again, I've had my tongue in my cheek whenever posting here since I can remember =P

[Citizen Bleys]

Posting seriously at EoFF ought to be a bannable offense.

[The Man]

Posting seriously at Aiyon IS a bannable offense, I think. :p

There can only be so much randomness Bleys.

Aiyon is a very serious place. You just gotta find it and not pay attention to me and Raist and you'll find it, I think.

[Citizen Bleys]

Who's the other Canuck? And does s/he have a chainsaw? 'cause if not, I could remedy that situation.

[Shlup]

My stepdad's Canadian, but I don't know if he has a chainsaw. He has like 20 other saws though, for his Canadian-ish wood-workings.

I used to have a chainsaw but my dad took it away when my sister was born 'cause we had to share a room. :/

Just so people know. I didn't forget about my pictures but this kind of crushed the dream man. Crushed it like a bug.

Can we get the glow effect going on anyways? That would be cool no matter what.

functions.php and a table (setting) if you want it to be easily customizable. Maybe I'll get around to make it better someday, so that it automatically matches the number of categories.

It doesn't matter anyway; there are fields for the titles in the CP.

[Shlup]

Whatever the reason, the colors are easy to change. I still ain't doin' it though. :p

[escobert]

Why won't yo do it?

[Citizen Bleys]

Some of the title colors suck. The only thing they have going for them is that all other colors suck even more. Knights and Admins are the only ones with colors that look decent in this color scheme.

And Shlup, I think the point that Raf is trying to make is that people should stop giving me credit for his hack. He and I aren't exactly the best of friends, you know?

[Dr Unne]

I didn't mean to give you credit if you didn't do it, sorry.

[Citizen Bleys]

O_o You're apologizing to me? Raf's the one who got shafted out of the credit here.

[Dr Unne]

Sorry in general, for being wrong.

[Endless]

Stop apologizing :p

You weren't really wrong, Bleys did the practical insertion of it. I might have done the 10 lines of code it required, but he did the installation. Let's say it was a collective work.

[Dr Unne]

Fine, I'll just take the credit myself, since I knew about its existence and whatnot. *does so*

[Citizen Bleys]

That's Unne for you, always smoothing over the gaps :)

[Big Ogre Umaro]

Unne, you suck for making that code, 'cuz it could all have been done with custom Profile fields. =\

Stop apologizing.

And you ask me why you remind me of Alfred. :rolleyes2
