Well, it kinda destroys the whole point of a public rating system.

I have to agree with the nay-sayers. The public rating system is cute, but pointless if a person can vote multiple times.

Had a small idea for the forum banner image and gave it a whirl. Here's two versions, one with the corners rounded off. Image height was increased by 3 pixels, but can be tweaked if required. Feel free to use either one of these if you wish! Any crits or suggests that can be added, do tell.

He-he...thanks, Quakis  ;)
I'll might use it in a banner rotation at a time.
Bitter words mean little to me. Autumn winds will blow right through me
And someday in the mist of time, when they asked me if I knew you
I'd smile and say you were a friend of mine, and the sadness would be lifted from my eyes

Great work Quakis. It would´ve cool if the whole site looked like that.

Sounds tempting, something with an overall classic-Duke3D feel. Also gives me an excuse to mess with forum themes. Might give it a shot.

yeah these light blue clouds in the background are bit too rainbow-y for Duke Nukem  :-\
Wall whore.

The layout will be like as it is.

Just one thing, is it supposed to look like this?

I can add transparency to those for you if you want, here.

that might help make it easier to tell when there's a new post, and it looks better than that black square

No, it's not supposed to look like this.
I'm just messing around. Had a few minutes last night.
I'll try your images tonight. Thank you  :)

Ah, if you're going to do that, you'll want the no posts one as well. There doesn't seem to be any image defined for new posts in a child board though and I can't think of anything myself. The octabrains in those images don't mesh well enough to make one that's half-and-half which was the only idea I could come up with.

Thanks, mate  ;)


Yeah, I think I'll leave the child board images as they are.
After all, it's only the members of the child board that can see new posts there.
Regular members will only see the on/off images.

Do I´m the only one that has a hard time trying to notice which subforums have new posts because of that untastefully octabrain?

High Treason

I've noticed the same. I have a suggestion, I could get rip some different graphics post them, how about the nuke symbols from the menu? They could be blue for no new posts and red for new posts? This would also cut back on the scaling with the small ones at the bottom as there are smaller versions of the spinning nuke - though I am not suggesting the use of animated versions, that would waste bandwidth and distract everyone, still, if you want me to make some, I will - Just a thought.

Now that I think about it, all the other forums used nuke symbols.
