jobonline20 Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 no shrinking of sigs please... now it is looking fine on my computer, must be the problem was with the other computer, because of the small monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† poetictragedy Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Of course, I wouldn't be opposed to having the max values for signatures shrunk down, haha. I agree with this. Might just be a personal preference though, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Emotional Outlet Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Ha, probably. I don't really see the appeal in having such a giant signature. When I vanished previously, we were only allowed signatures as big as 500x100--a lot of other fora I visit on occasion, should they allow images in signatures at all, also tend to stick to this size or comparable. It gets kind of annoying for some people to have to scroll by the same giant signature in a thread, and it can be kind of weird and/or disappointing to see someone consistently have posts shorter than their signature. Speaking of, I don't know if it's still a thing that is made or if it is compatible with this software, but I know I've seen some fora where they have a mod that automatically hides a person's signature if they have already posted on a certain page of a thread. So like if I posted again later in this thread, my signature wouldn't pop up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Emotional Outlet Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 And it'd save me the effort of remembering to turn off my signature when I update my stories or add a post to the FAQ or something, haha. The only things I found were this, which is more of a hack than a mod and maybe only for 3.3, and this, which is way old and only for 2.3 and probably not even relevant at this point. Anyway, that's just me. I know some people identify users by their signatures, but I'm pretty good about recognising people based on their style of writing, not to mention it isn't that hard to look slightly to the left to check out their username, haha.

Alice Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 (edited) I think 500x200 would be the perfect max. I think 500x100 would be a little too short...it is like the banner size. It makes it a little awkward to make sigs. But I've done plenty of 500x200 and that seems pretty perfect for me. Of course, right now mine is 500x130 is my sig size right now, because that is the size of Anime-Planet sigs. So I guess I could live with 500x130, but no love cause then I wouldn't be able to use my Anime-Planet.

† Emotional Outlet Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 100px height isn't super awkward. Just have to rethink how you arrange stuff. I still have my collection of signatures from days past (from an almost nine year old Photobucket account--this forum is pretty old, wow). They're all actually 400x100, so either my memory is a bit faulty or I just liked that size specifically. And then randomly one that is 420x120 (Wondering when I attained the moniker "PMS Dragon"...And I have had this username foreverrrrrr.) 500x200 sounds pretty good to me, though. It's only a touch smaller, so it wouldn't be a major change. In any case, it's up to Koby. I'm just mumbling to myself mostly, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mostly because it's small enough to fit a couple lines of text, and still be under the current limits (which are 600x220 TOTAL INCLUDING TEXT; people seem to forget/overlook that detail).

† Emotional Outlet Posted January 22, 2013 Report Share Posted January 22, 2013 Are you talking about going back to a subforum from thread view? You should be able to do that still. Scroll all the way to the top. It's not very intuitive, haha. Please correct me if I misunderstood you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breathless Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 "The PMS Dragon" Oh man I laughed a waaay too hard over that.Anyway. I'm posting here again because I noticed that I can't quote other people when I'm in that full-editor mode. My memory may be wrong but I thought I could scroll down and click 'quote' before. Like, over here ... The more I think about it the more I think this function never existed. I'm not even sure anymore. Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

† Emotional Outlet Posted January 23, 2013 Report Share Posted January 23, 2013 No problem! I was actually going to say something about it myself a little while ago until I noticed it, haha. All those little "Back to top" buttons are suddenly useful. I do wish the toolbars were switched, with the subforum navigation beneath the banner next to the search box. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† L4ugh Posted January 24, 2013 Report Share Posted January 24, 2013 I'm just gonna say it, I don't like the brave skin, and the ip.board skin is too white. Will we be getting different skin options at some point? The brave skin doesn't look like it belongs on an anime forum and it bunches together in a small window. I don't mind the layout of ip.board, I just wish it had a little darker color palette. Is there a version of ip.board in black or a dark grey? I know my opinion has the value of a squirrel fart, but I figured there might be one or two other members thinking this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koby Posted January 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2013 I know my opinion has the value of a squirrel fart, but I figured there might be one or two other members thinking this. That's not true. I value the opinions of every member, it's just impossible to please 20,000+ members, so I've got to find a decent "happy medium" of sorts. Though to answer your question, yes more skins will eventually return. For certain the Deviant III skin will be making a re-appearance. I don't know what else, but you're welcome to go skin hunting and post some you like here for us to consider. Anyhow, IP.Board just released 3.4.2 a couple days ago, so updates will be happening again shortly, just as soon as the skin maker finishes the updates on the skin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† poetictragedy Posted January 26, 2013 Report Share Posted January 26, 2013 I had a thought earlier. Is there any way to allow bbcode or html in status updates? Like if a staff member wants to make an announcement or something, they could change the color to make it stand out? They do this at another forum I visit, but I'm nearly positive they don't use the same forum software. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lolrawr Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 Yeah I was thinking the same thing awhile back because of images and stuff, but it'd have to scale the image down since it's such a small space. Might just have to allow font changes like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd prefer not to activate the use of html though as allowing that for normal users can open the door for exploits. BB Code on the other hand can be made for whatever, so if there is a specific html style/whatever that you're thinking of or wanting then let me know and I'll create a custom bb code for it possibly.

† Emotional Outlet Posted January 27, 2013 Report Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'd like colour and bolding. Italics seems to go by unnoticed and underlining might get lost in the mix, I don't know. Images seem excessive?? It can be a secret bbcode. Secret. (For like two seconds until someone else figures it out through science.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
