Whoa Wtf happened?

DeMoN · Nov 27, 2004

Why do all latest 10 topics have an icon next to them? you guys should make them for all the forums, not just those topic.

Reserver X · Nov 28, 2004

well yea, but opium said it was ok like this, the other one was a tad taller and i had an unofficial award too. so he said if i made it a bit smaller and took the award out it would be ok.

but now the front page is more bulky than my old sig!

*mumble mumble*

*cough* hypocryts! *cough*

Well you say a "SERTAIN" (sic) admin told you to stop wearing a sig, then you mention Opium...

Normally this might have been a pm from me, but since your so “sertain” of your ability to mock Opium while he’s away from the board for a month, let me step in for him…

I won’t be as nice or thoughtful, and I will put your in your place, and if you don’t like it, don’t “ask for it” again…

Had it not been Opium to tell you to remove your sig, then someone else would have, if it was too large... The staff do what we do, which is enforce the rules, when we do that you don’t have to agree or feel fine with it, but don’t give the guy shit for it just because your sig was too big… (This is the one thing that pisses me off the most, don’t give the staff shit for doing there jobs)

You don't like this update/change (that Tempest has pointed out isn't complete yet) fine, but comparing the portal, a small part of the front page, to a sig in the forum in general, is stupid.

So I say, if you feel inclined to wear that sig again, then do so, but do it with the knowledge that your ass will be in the jail faster then you can pm me a week later asking when your suspensions up, of that you can be "Sertain"…

On topic

I like the idea myself, but want to see what Shaun’s got cooked up for it…

As Tempest said, we’ll be looking into having the option to remove it for those who don‘t like the idea at all, but for now guys bare with us until we get to that point, again as Tempest said it’s more a work in progress then a finished piece…

Not against or siding with anyone here, but "having sigs as tall as tree oaks" isn't really in the rules. There's a 400 x 100 rule, but everye breaks them, including yourself. It's more of the filesize that matters.

Reserver X · Nov 28, 2004

i was joking... lighten up

. any way i wasnt aware that he was away from the board, and i wasnt sure who told me to change my sig, frankly i didnt want to look through my pm archive seeing how it was a joke in the first place.

Reserver X · Nov 28, 2004

i was going to apologize for making a mistake in who told me to remove my sig and blaming some one els, but it seems memory did server right on who removed it.

Your sig is pretty damn tall, it would cause people's poor little fingers to get tired from constant scrolling down if they were using 800x600 resolution. It kinda makes the forum look ugly to hav a sig that tall and thin. Nothing wrong with the sig image itself, just use the horizontal design for a sig please.

with regards

-Mr. O Unbound

but any way i was only joking, im still prety new to the forum and i didnt realise that the sig that i had come up with wasnt fit for the forum, i changed it to comply with standards and i apologize for any bruised egos over this

ps: thanks for making fun of my spelling even though i corrected it when i was directed to it.

Luse · Nov 28, 2004

Thanks for double posting as well, really means alot, to see that you still haven't bothered to read the rules, but want to make "jokes" about them...

So here they are, to help you make fun of the rest of them, we put them here in this funny little packet just for you...

The Rules

Sorry, to me it just looked like you where whining about your sig being removed, complaining about Opium doing it, and then saying that sig and the portal layout should be considered similar, and that the entire staff were being "hypocrytical" ( or maybe hypocritical if you prefer…)

(Random GBAtemp Trivia: Who was suspended recently for mocking Thug when he left the staff? So I guess that makes me a hypocrite for not suspending this guy for "just joking"?)

But I was mistaken, none of that happened as you were just kidding, no harm, no foul, so everything’s all right.

Look over there a big pie, and over there a man with a rubber chicken…

Everything’s just peachy…

(P.S. If you can mock Opium and the staff then what's mocking your spelling matter? Unless of course you’re a hypocrite?)...

o.k. to get back on subject ..........

when i first seen it i was like "Whoa Wtf happened?" then i seen this topic that said my thoughts and i knew where to go, but now that i went back and stared at it for a while it ain't too bad

Chronickilla · Nov 28, 2004

I like these Icons it makes it easier to tell which part of the forum it is coming from.

Dogg Thang · Nov 28, 2004

Well I'm with the people who find the icons a little messy but Tempest Stormwind has of course explained that they are a work in progress and I do like the theory behind them. Especially when some topics have very ambiguous titles. So I look forward to seeing how it plays out.

Speaking of which, where did that DS headache topic go? I can't find it anywhere.

Dogg.

Edit: Actually, looking at the front page again (and I don't know if this is possible), they may work better if you could stop the two-line topics from going under the icons. So you have a clear space on the left for the icons and all of the topic headers are on the right in their own space. Just a suggestion, if possible.

shaunj66 · Nov 28, 2004

We're working on the icons, what you see isn't final. I'll be designing matching and fitting icons today so keep your eyes pealed.
We'll also be playing with the design a little bit.

I doubt it. IPB 2.0 and up requires a paid license now, $70 for a yearly license or $200 for lifetime (which really pisses me off because they said there would always be a free unlimited trial).

$200. Pfffffffttt!

Lily · Nov 28, 2004

I like it. Fresh ideas, it's nice.

Dark_Lord Malik · Nov 28, 2004

It`s a good idea and i quite liked it.

yugi999 · Nov 28, 2004

i like it it`s nice

Costello · Nov 28, 2004

we should have made the new icons BEFORE we made this hack public

... but I wanted to do it yesterday and shaun had no time to make the icons

it's funny to see how people react, thou

Xanthious · Nov 28, 2004

Its different.. .. .. .. but in a good way. I dig it

yea, now that i think about it... its not too bad, it does make it easier to see where you want to post. it also helps you look for the kind of topics you like to post in.

ps. the reason i said i didnt like it before was mainly to joke around with opium...

speechless · Nov 28, 2004

those little icons are not little enough, which indeed sucks in its present incarnation (because they must be same size as text font to look good, not larger like they are now). keep in mind 800x600 people can eat something around a guy's crotchal region cuz 1024x768 and greater is how most people are viewing this site. Either shrink those icons to fit with the text they are attached to, or just ditch the fisher price look altogether. Just my 2cents worth.. makes it just look even more rom/forum kiddyish to me..which is indeed a BAD thing. :/

edit... to costello and sir sj66

don't take this the wrong way guys, hell any improvement is a good thing, just the topics now shift far off to the right now, and most now take up multiple rows because the icon is pushing them over, but thats my peeve really.. the multiple rows each topic holds now..makes it stretch the last topic box, and makes the once clean site, look messy and fisher pricish is all...just constructive criticism, and i know it hasnt reached the point where you'd like it to be yet...hope the newer icons fit the text size

mynimal · Nov 28, 2004

I see GBATemp got a new and better icon for the site.

Have you only just noticed that? It's been there for weeks!

Another thing is that this is going to take a lot of getting used to. At least it's one step closer to the final evolution stage of GBAtemp.
