Forum icons

I like that idea. I think we should do it :D

See the little checkmarks below every post? I'm pretty sure those have to be the same pictures that we use for the forum icons on the main page. That's the problem.

If we were going to use the chocobos again, we'd have to use the Locke ones too. Or the little Cids we used to have. I'm going to have to check and see if the icons below the posts can be set seperately from the forum icosn.

I'm positively sure that it's possible to use text instead of images if someone is online or offline.

Looks like I can use a different image for the online/offline pictures, yeah. I don't really like those yellow chocobos though. Does anyone have the old Cid icon? I'd love to use that again. It's from the EZBoard. Or anything else? Or do you all like those yellow chocobos? We can give it a try and see how it looks I guess.

I liked Proto's screenshot of the forums with the chocobo icons on the main page :p (er, you'll ahve to ask him for the link, I forgot ^_^)

They're not too big on the main page when you see it, because the forum descriptions are multiline anyway so take up that much space by default.

Yeah, ycan edit the template to make them separate files quite easily; the only thing you'll need to do is keep "on," "off," "onlock," and "offlock" as part of the file names, and if you add anything to the end of one of those file names, you'll need to add it to all of them. It sounds like you've got it down okay, but if you still need help doing that, either contact me via AIM (I'm fairly sure you know my AIM address, Carpie :aimwink:) or PM me at Fool's Gold. I check in at EoFF about twice a month now so PMing me here is probably a bad way to get in touch with me if you want me to respond quickly.

I obviously don't have the old eZboard icons, since I wasn't around back then. ;)

Sorry, I don't have the little Cids, they vanished with thw wheres.com site.

They were ace, though.

Hence, let's bring back the chocobos!

I already change the templates. Did last night right before I posted. I just need to know what pictures to use.

We never had golden chocobos here, did we? Only those black ones. One thing we did do once was have forums with new posts have black chocobos, and have forums with no new posts have no icon at all. That would be easy to do. I need more input though. If people like the yellow chocobos, we can use those. Or we can use the Locke's again like kishi said, though I don't really even remember that.

We'll try the chocobos.

Nice to see the chocobos are in use. :choc:

Well, let's see how it does. Using both yellow and black chocobos will make it easier to notice which forum has new posts or not. Though, if you want me too, I can make white chocobos for the on and onlock templates. :)

What about blue to match the EoFF colors? *just doesn't like the yellow ones*

Hmm, maybe Proto could try making a test page with them, or anyone for that matter. I guess we'd have to see what they'd look like. I really don't care if you use blue or yellow though.

My blue one sucks, I'm no good at graphics, but maybe someone else can make one.

Aww, we'll never please the guy. ;)

The chocobo icons look pretty good, IMO. I like the yellow/black version, but the blue/black might look good as well. It's just that the yellow/black format provides better contrast.

HAHAHAHA! :laugh:

I really like these new forum icons. It makes it feel like a happier and more colorful place to be. No longer are there the boring old boxes -_-
