The tongue smiley looks shady.
<-- not a jokey kinda smiley, that's an "I'm trying not to kill you and am nervous as fuck so I'm gonna pretend I'm joking" smiley

Re: Suggestions...obviously
Fucking "ranks" don't work at all intuitively. I've been able to set them as special and color code them to standout, but then it takes away the name of the rank on the members page. And if I don't do that, I can't make heads or tails as to why it will automatically assign everyone the same rank (either charter member or administrator) when were are in different groups. F U site!

Re: Suggestions...obviously
Alright, I think I got "ranks" and "groups" figured out (for the most part), it's a fucking spider web but whatevs. Through these is how we can give custom titles if so wished, but don't expect that soon, many kinks to test and work out. Now Slaughter, you said: Also, if you want to actually make something of the site, you might consider making charter mean something other than "hey, we like you and you've been around awhile." What exactly do you mean by that? Through ranks, groups and permissions, we can make it like before where you or another member are the only ones to be the "Calendar Guy" with access to that. Havok is the Radio Guy and can only post threads on the Radio Show forum, whatever. But Charter Member has always just been a badge of honor saying you've been a great contributing member and you're awesome type of deal. Just curious what you thought? I get the idea of special perks or summat, but I'm not seeing what it would be on a site like ours, a straight message board, that is all encompassing and not a business or providing a service.

Re: Suggestions...obviously
Maybe just a board only viewable by charter members. Could have shit like a trade section or something where you'd want only people that have been here awhile and proven themselves trustworthy.Reign in Blood wrote:Alright, I think I got "ranks" and "groups" figured out (for the most part), it's a fucking spider web but whatevs. Through these is how we can give custom titles if so wished, but don't expect that soon, many kinks to test and work out.

Or you can leave it as is. It was just a suggestion after all. I'm a member of another site that has around 50 ranks, none of which mean a damn thing(just how long you've been there), so it's your call.

Re: Suggestions...obviously
I getcha. And we can do things like that, absolutely. But we gotta make sure it doesn't become too cliquey, is my main reservations. (I say as an admin, part of it's own group, who have their own convos and shiz, but don't think any of it is fun or glamorous).Slaughterhouserock wrote:Maybe just a board only viewable by charter members.

Re: Suggestions...obviously
What do we want to do with the color scheme? I put the gray in as a temp thing.

Re: Suggestions...obviously
I'm liking the grey, but it is a little...bland. Maybe, if possible, I can give it a concrete texture like a headstone? Maybe a little moss and some minor blood splats? I assume it would be rotating like the old swirly marble stuff.
Re: Suggestions...obviously
If you want to add image backgrounds, you have to download a program to your computer, save your custom images to said program, and manually upload them to this site and find where you want to plug them in at.

So it's possible, just a pain in the ass?

Re: Suggestions...obviously
Just makes Charter something special. Not sure what else you can give them. Aside from read access to our admin board.Reign in Blood wrote:Why?showa58taro wrote:A Charter board can be added as a perk. Seems sensible.

Re: Suggestions...obviously
Is there any way to change that "Online" Miss America sash to just words under an avatar like we used to have. Just a teeny thing but maybe somewhere down the to do list? It just doesn't feel very horror. More like craft website.
