If there WAS an IRC award Sir Jaardsi would win it. I, of course would get the 'comedy' Mephs award for my hilarousness and good deeds. And for my humbleness and humility. In fact I think I need a whole wing of TWHL named after me. :P

I've already asked Seventh about an IRC award but that bitter old sod refuses to do it. :cry:

I think we'll do without it. :)

There's nothing to reward for IRC, all the regulars know that :P.

Happy award:

To those who are always happy and never shout...Very rare...

Good Map award: that's the MV award we already have, only the present award demands that you produce more than one highly-rated map.

Dark side award: no!

Happy & sad awards: what are you on? :P

Elon: they'll appear with the update.

I think there are enough awards really.

I don't know if you are doing anything about this or not, but I think the mods should have something to identify themselves to other people easily. Have 'Moderator' under their name or something.
Because although there is the section above the forums, I didn't even notice Ant was there until recently, so they obviously aren't that noticable.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 06:35:25 UTC Post #123364
I agree with you, G, that's why I haven't done any more :).

I'd add that if I added little award things by peoples' posts.

I think I'll cut down the maximum avatar sizes too, they're ridiculous. Must be murder for people on lower resolutions. Then I could fit this in.

PS: code is very nearly finished. The updating and testing will be on Wednesday at 0900GMT; TWHL'll be down for awhile while we check everything (and fix, if necessary, although it all seems fine).

Hmm, what are you thinking of making the maximum avatar size then Alex?

&lt;---- If its that size your thinking of, you can think again... :lol: Just go clean out some of the one login wonders and multiple accounts if space is an issue. Shamone!
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 07:39:05 UTC Post #123381
I mean space on the screen, dummy :P.

No, I don't mean that small, but, well, look at SpaG's last couple of posts. Look at G_KID's, indeed. Smaller, but certainly bigger than mine. It's the height that's a problem really, so I might reduce that more than the width.

Is it possible to limit the image size, uploaded into the forums? Cause it takes ages for the page to load with 1024x768 images... :furious:

Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 09:00:08 UTC Post #123399
I propose the following changes:
User posted image
1. By removing the Journals Alex will free up enough space on the front page for a Kitten Section.
2. The introduction of snazzy fluffy dice to the top will make it everything far faster and cooler.
3. Lasers. Lasers make things good.

Ok, any questions before alex starts coding all this?
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 09:02:18 UTC Post #123402
Yes, I'll do that too, have images wider than x pixels or taller than (muchbiggernumber) pixels posted as [url=]Large image[/url].

I likey, Mephs. A very minimalistic avatar.

PS: Hahahahaha.

Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 10:28:53 UTC Post #123423
Turn the images wider than 512 pxls and higher than 1024 pxls into [url]large pic[/url]

Is my avatar too big for you,seventh? :quizzical:
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 11:04:06 UTC Post #123428
I remember you commenting on the size of my avitar...

If its too big, Ill try and create a new one.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 11:53:59 UTC Post #123440
Well, Bratty, since yours is, I believe, the maximum presently allowed...

I still maintain that it'd look much better wider than it is high. It'd make the "BL" look more important.

Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 12:27:55 UTC Post #123460
plx let hav pr0n!111

Anyhow, 180x180 is the maximum size of avatars - bigger ones will, iirc, be resized to 180x180.
I still think the smaller-the better should be ones motto.
91x100 ftw.
Posted 19 years ago2005-07-25 13:04:55 UTC Post #123466
Yeha, 180x180 is stupid.

I think they're resized, or they might be cropped.

Anyway, the code's all done! Things for the next update (whenever that is; I'm gunna have a break for a bit :)):
Stop avatars being cached when they're being overwritten by new ones;

Reduce maximum avatar size to something sensible;

Delete files associated with comments when deleting the comments;

Random good map on front page (or map de la semana, etc.);

Latest award winner(s) on front (maybe);

Make PMs switch-off-except-for-mod-messages-able;

Better MV navigation (get by mod, etc.);

Sort out the MV submission and edit stuff with some tidy JS, and neatly enforce voting if in Completed;

Previewing;

Some kind of localised greeting on occasion would be pretty neat. See where the most people come from?
Any comments, suggestions, questions, or complaints? :)

make it 1x1 so everyone would have dotsas their avatars! that would be fair.

When you search the forums(using the search button) you see these * thingies insted of the indication dots,just like before you added the dots!! :(
