That means nothing to my very good friends the t-800 terminators!

Plus a few nukes aswell...

hm, that's cool, i wonder what i'll find if i check my buttcrack too?

better example:

I think this is a better example.

well, that one is lacking the red and shininess factor

How about my sig now? It's shiny.

yeah, that's kind of cool

Why do you have to be so mean.

because the title evil overlord doesn't go over so well if you're nice

We're not off-topic, btw...

I remember the red skin... ok, I don't... but I remember the BMIII skin and the Hello kitty one (during Dw's absense)...

Anyway, I think that a yellow, orange and red skin should do the trick...

Well my sig is back to the old one.
And as for the forum look, red and yellow might work. And i can't remember which one was here when I joined.

are you really thinking about changing the look again? havent had this one for too long

Yeah, but the problem is DW doesn't like it.

yeah, see invision works much better function wise (note the lacking of forum glitches) but design wise there are things I can't change. like the big white blocks and things

aw man, i wish i could design something like this!

"get more traffic with better design"

could that be why you want a new one?

huh? where did you come up with that?

in that picture you put up

Well, we can accomplish something like that, if the community works all together...

well, that style design would be very hard with the tools that forumotion has to offer

What about Photoshop?
I have it, so do many others.

that doesn't make too much of a difference, it's just he options for how to set things up are very limited

Well there has to be a workaround.

I believe there is a way to upload your own theme to the server, but it will probably take some coding knowledge to do so.

I'm guessing CSS and probably HTML.

yeah, if you know CSS it makes things easier

So...anyone here know CSS?

only little bits, but i can't write any from scratch. BTW, what do you think of the new icons? now there are two options, the ones we have now, or ones with black outlines instead of white ones

They are all right, but will take some getting used too.

Indeed, but I like them a lot... We need something new for the posts, though... I almost can't find my way around with these...

no, i know, i just haven't had a chance to do them up yet. they really bother me too, i can't tell what's a new post and what isn't

I usually look to the "last post date" part... might help, unless you're out one full week...

i dont see that here anymore though, so i just look at the portal

Darkwing wrote:no, i know, i just haven't had a chance to do them up yet. they really bother me too, i can't tell what's a new post and what isn't

That's exactly what happened with me...
And I usually don't have the patience to be looking through the post dates, JPB...

yeah, but anyways, should be easier to understand with the new icons there

Oh, It definitely is...

there, now there's a shinier version of stewi's old announce and sticky design

hmmm, yes or no to the white outlines on the stickies and announces?

I think it's way cooler with the outlines!

with the outlines? ok, hey, would you post in an announce and a sticky for me, so i can see the new icons please

Alright...

oh, that is nice, very nice

I think they are pretty cool... Do you want me to do something similar for the buttons like quote, edit, etc, or would you prefer to do them yourself, so they don't get too different from the rest?

well, take a stab at one of them and post it, cause if it's similar enough in style then it shoud work. um, the white outlines all have a bevel with the default settings (you might have to play with size though, I have most of them set oto around 3 or 4) and the inner color has an emboss with it set to down and size is about 4

hm, can you make it more like the one here, with the shine kind of on the top more or something? and could you use the font bank gothic if you have it?

I don't know if I can... Maybe if you did it, it would remain... Loyal to the main theme...

try out this tut see if it helps

or this

I still think it's better you doing it...

ok, guess i'll do em up then! that's ok, i have photoshop for 28 more days, so i'm gonna do all with it that i can!
