Back* from the grave

We should fill up some of the unused space on the header bar of every post. For example, bumping the time over and putting another column for medals received. The images I made are rough, but it looks like all skins, with the exception of Carbonite, have 13 pixels in height for the bar. I just used the Augustgrad header bar because that's the last one I checked.

What we currently have:


What I'm proposing:


The black boxed-in area would be filled with a miniaturized version of the medals on people's profile page, and *hopefully* clicking the medals will show a search of every member with that same medal.

I don't see why this would be hard to implement, or why any member would object to it. We have the regular, veteran, and elite icons, but this would actually help remind people where SEN's moderating power lies.

Of course, if I'm willing to suggest it I'd be willing to resize and make the medals easier to distinguish.

EDIT: Now that I look at it, when the date switches to "Yesterday, __:__ _m" it makes a second row, which would make it so that either no resizing is needed, or that a minimal amount would be needed. If we could change from our current time system, to an absolute one (such as "Jun 14 2010, 6:44 pm"), it would make it much easier to insert the medals. However, not only do I not see the medals being approved of at all, but changing SEN's timestamps would make it even more unfavorable.

Not possible given the clever way they floated the name and post number. I should note, though, that a change in time format wouldn't be needed; if it's two rows, just vertically center the medals. Possible with some line-height/vertical-align trickery.



None.

Well, if you stretch the bar to 32 pixel height, wouldn't need to compress the medals, and could just vertically center everything. It's just a thought, really. It'd be nice to be able to see people's medals without veiwing their profile.

I don't know if there are that many medals in circulation for that to even be necessary. Perhaps a better way to delineate ranks among staff and SEN's member groups is something that should be changed, however.

EDIT:
When I edit other peoples' posts that have a "+" in it, the "+" disappears for some reason.

Relatively ancient and inactive

Err... I'll be useful by elaborating on my dislike for the v6 skin: It's too graphic, and not in a good way. The dropdown tries to copycat SCII dialogs and achieves it in a cheesy, wasteful (of space) way that doesn't even look that good (I think SCII's default dialogs are ugly for the same reason - wasteful of space to achieve a slightly techy look). The banner, from what I can tell, isn't homogenous enough and that very visible break between the left and right side is horrid. Can you stick another image as the break's background? Additionally, the text should be in the middle, or at least in the top-left corner. You can actually make the text a separate image and center it. The text looks nice on current skins in the middle, and nice on Maplantis in the top-left - it doesn't look nice when it's in the bottom-left corner of the banner, I don't think you're emphasizing it enough. It looks... weird.

Anyway, basically I strongly dislike how you're basing an entire skin on green + SCII dialogs. I realize that a lot of effort went into it, but the techy mechy look is, I believe, overrated and unnecessary.



None.

Hello

Don't worry, this probably won't be a v6 skin. Unsure.

For once, I actually completely agree with Centreri.

My own specific criticisms of it:

devilesk: THIS IS WHAT I THINK OF THE NEW SKIN http://i49.tinypic.com/2ugz67s.png
OR RATHER IT IS MY OPINION OF IT OVER TIME
[14:32] IsolatedPurity: really?
[14:32] devilesk: yes
[14:32] devilesk: it was nice to look at for the first few minutes
[14:32] devilesk: then im like eh
[14:32] devilesk: i like carbonite better and would still rather use that
[14:32] devilesk: carbonite owns that skin
[14:33] devilesk: i like the nice sharp lines instead of the curves for forums
[14:34] devilesk: the skin is distracting
[14:34] devilesk: TAKES YOUR ATTENTION AWAY FROM THE REAL PURPOSE OF THE FORUM
[14:34] devilesk: its like if im reading a book do you want background images on every page?
[14:34] devilesk: like text on top of background images
[14:34] devilesk: NO YOU WANT PLAIN WHITE PAGES WITH BLACK TEXT
[14:35] devilesk: maybe the cover of the book can be nice and decoractive AT MOST
[14:36] devilesk: carbonite has the perfect blend
[14:36] devilesk: it has a nice header got some curves
[14:36] devilesk: the top of the forum has some nice rounded edges
[14:36] devilesk: but then the rest is all business
[14:36] devilesk: has a little border around the edges
[14:36] devilesk: but that's it
[14:37] devilesk: nice clean look
[14:37] IsolatedPurity: hm
[14:37] devilesk: the little shadows and bevels around boxed sections is a nice little touch but that's it
[14:37] devilesk: also the more i look at the skin the more it reminds me of a folder and that's just dumb
[14:38] devilesk: the forums look like flaps or scales
[14:39] devilesk: all it is is like
[14:39] devilesk: OMG I CAN USE GRADIENTS AND SHADOWS AND OPACITY AND SHIT SO COOL!
[14:39] devilesk: but in reality it's just lame
[14:40] devilesk: i think the top is nice and the big main headers is nice
[14:40] devilesk: but i think all that shit for the individual forums is too much
[14:40] devilesk: like just make it regular boxes for the insides
[14:40] devilesk: maybe with some bevel and shadow like what carbonite has
[14:41] devilesk: i think it could also just be the fact that there's no fucking bottom edge to any of them
[14:41] devilesk: it just blends into the background and into the next one which is stupid
[14:41] devilesk: i want a bottom
[14:42] devilesk: also
[14:42] IsolatedPurity: yeah, i am curious
[14:42] devilesk: the whole thing looks like a fuckin button
[14:42] IsolatedPurity: on what normal boxes might look like
[14:42] devilesk: i feel like its some flash shit that if i hover over it it will do some shit
[14:42] devilesk: and if click it it will have some animation like a button

Oops, :rolleyes: That looks worse than the skin I was thinking of though. I think the green is too light. I like the green of the box in the top right.

I agree, and it is waaaaaaaaaaay too green in general. I honestly think we're scrapping that one, but I have no idea how v6 is going to look anymore.

v6 should just be Carbonite.

Where's Iceflare? Get him to make the v6 skin.

poison_us -- We need medals next to our name for medals that people have.
HCM™Aristocrat -- include banned members in it
HCM™Aristocrat -- We need a karma rank

Karma medals for top 5, 10%, donation medals could be $.01-10, 10.01-20, 20.01+, souls, etc. Just some ideas I'm throwing out there.

The idea of donation = minerals might be illegal (all good stuff is, no?), and it might mess with the economy (ok it will, when there actually is an economy to mess with), but it'd be a good incentive for people to donate to SEN. Donations = "contributions" amirite?
