Bring back postbit HP/MP bars?

No, it had something to do with posts-per-day and post count for HP and threads-per-day and thread count for MP, I believe.

If anything, we can also argue that it might have encouraged spamming by some in order to boost these useless numbers.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Thats true. The system encouraged spamming unfortunately.

Do any of the members of administration have anything to say about this?

Edit:
Oh yeah almost forgot, here's the journal entry containing some of the user class banners I made.

those are pretty cool Kairyu, I hope this feature gets used.
Another thing, the userclass banner can be a quick link to the chocopie

True, but that would make the forums now more lively, no?

And also, if the mods were doing there jobs, and the members did their part... then I don't see a problem, besides a far more active forum, which I think we could definitely use.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I think it would be cool if we could have small emoticon sized images for this. I'd say there is room for 5 of them if you put them to the left of the flag. You could even have an option to limit the amount of them there. So let's say the first three are of the first 3 forums a users posts the most in, in order from 1 to 3. The next one could forum a user has been most active in this week. The last one could be the forum the user is currently viewing or if that user is even online or invisible. These would all dynamically change based on data collected from the forums like Chocopie of course. Wouldn't that be neat?

FELIPE NO

Hmm. I used to have the original formula for this (from vb2), but I can't seem to find it.
Either way, MP is changed by posts per day * :abunchofequations: and I know for a fact that HP is changed by total posts * :abunchofequations:.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Decided to try it out with my top 3 forums: Mario's Warp Room, The Sewers, and Moderator Hut



Hmmm... it's okay. I feel like it's a tad crowded though. I might just need to make better icons though. I dunno. 8-bit graphics seem to look fairly nice as icons though which goes with the gamingforce name deal. Not sure.

This can work, just needs some refinement. If you're going to go for the offline/online icon, that offline/online text line can be removed.

Or move the rating down below the icons, or something.

I dunno, just needs some thinking or something. I really can't do that right now, it's just not in me to think.

How ya doing, buddy?

It's nice, buddy. But it feels too cluttered. Maybe if you completely lost the ratings cubes it would work better, but multiple graphics on the same line just makes it seem like too much.

I like the way it is now. Mood might be fun, but why do we need two OTHER icons in there too?

I don't know about 8-bit images, Acer. Even if it's gamingforce, they don't really match the theme Bobo's building here. try adding lensflare.

lol I know they aren't that great, lurker. I'm just making roughs here. ='D

I came up with another idea. Somehow have it generate your top 3 forum icons and display each in the corner for about 5 seconds or something. Less clutter!




How's that? =o

I was speaking idiomatically.

I still really don't understand why we need this. Do I really want to have flashing shit going on in the corner in my eye while reading?

However, member ratings five bars should always be present, and they should be yellow to indicate your rank. That would look a lot better.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It is less cluttered, but still, I don't know Acer. Might be a little early still before we dick around with Bobo's layout again.

FELIPE NO

It's just an idea. I mean if you were to put something in that corner. What would you put? Would it be fun just to put a tiny image of your choosing that fits in a 24 x 24 space instead?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

I kind of like that last example, Acer. It's nothing too flashy, and it shows a bunch of info.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Going with the styleset, I'd have to say that the icons would be better off enclosed somehow with an image such as is.
That is assuming that they would be implimented at all.
This styleset is better off with enclosed/square graphics than it does with those that are oddly-shaped.

How ya doing, buddy?

Yeah, I'm done with that for quite a while.

Well I just thought about it because we did have moods in that space before at one point. I don't think it's as big as display names. It's not needed either. Just an idea.

Acer, I liked your last example. I appreciate your attempt.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I like these ideas, really. The HP/MP/XP bars and chocopie images would be neat, but perhaps the former should be optional.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I'm not a huge fan of the animated one, but that's just because I hate animation.

I think just one picture of your top forum would be pretty neat and wouldn't require massive changes to the postbit or clutter it up much.

FELIPE NO

how about replacing the gray rectangle where the ratings and flag are with a banner representing your top forum. Like this but better:

Well you definitely get the best of all the features but now it looks like a mess, to be honest =p.
Maybe if you grayscale the banner itself with the other icons on top it might look a little more pleasing. Something like this:

Well you get the idea .

That's not a bad idea, but seems kind of redundant. I'd say have the grayscale banner be the user's top forum and the icon be the forum the user is currently viewing. How's that?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'll second that. Now we just need better images to represent each forum.
