Bar Above Name

[VoX]

I've filled up the bar above my name and I think im the first to do so, does this mean anything or not?

[undeaded]

It means you have no life, and spam too much >_<

[Chalex4]

The bar above your name is a rank, linked to how many posts you have. Sadly I am going to need to make it harder to reach, so I am making it so that once you have 1000 posts you get the full bar. Once you go over that you will probably get a more classy image. At the moment we are using some different ranks as well that Chazlene made:

http://www.c2gcommunity.co.uk/images/ranks/c2g/admin.gif
http://www.c2gcommunity.co.uk/images/ranks/c2g/banned.gif
http://www.c2gcommunity.co.uk/images/ranks/c2g/clan_leader.gif
http://www.c2gcommunity.co.uk/images/ranks/c2g/founder.gif

Although I think that some of these may fit the forum a little better:

THE BOTTOM HALF OF THIS ONE

What do you guys think? If we used image #1 we could make it so that if you donated to the community you get "Contributor" or we could remove the bars and give everyone "Member".

My opinion is that we should keep the bars that fill up with the amount of posts you have, but when you reach the top you get a new image or something. Also, I really like the titles above but there aren't all the sections we really need. For example, there is no "Founder" in the first one, and no "Contributor" in the second one - there is no "Clan Leader" in either. Out of the two I prefer the first one, so if anyone wants to try and create some new ones, similar to them, I would be more than happy.

@ Chazlene: I really like the ones you made, but I prefer the first lot of images because they look really professional, with a box around it including small images. I have no doubt that you can create far better images than the ones above if you tried ;) .

[undeaded]

Meh, this really isn'ta professional site btw. :p

[Chalex4]

True, I still prefer the new ones though to the ones we have at the moment.

[undeaded]

Yeah but Charlie's one are more 'fun'!

[Chazlene]

The last ones you posted we've already tried and look too old, but I do like the other ones, except there's no clan leader rank, and Moderator isn't green!

[Chalex4]

Chazlene if you want to make new titles, more like the other ones, then please do. You can copy them as much as you want, I like the colour of their border, the gradient and the images - basically everything lol.

[VoX]

I'll try it aswell, :( at 1000 posts to fill the bar up, I was first to reach it and I'll probably be beaten to 1000.
Ill post my designs here or in media.
I like the banned one thats all jagged.

[undeaded]

Hehe I have some web 2.0 gradients which would do the job quickly.

I might need to change the clan leader one and maybe give them all a border.

[Chazlene]

I think they are all completely shit because of the Dollar sign in the Contributor bar.

[VoX]

Yeh I'll change the $ sign, maybe I could just do it as text but make it a bit bigger.

[Hutch]

Have a euro sign :) Jokes, Why not have something that universally depicts money seeing as we have foreign members as well, coins or a piggybank.

[VoX]

With a better $ sign

[undeaded]

I did some:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/undeadevil/c2gicons.png

[Chalex4]

Undeaded, I really like yours. Here are a few ways to improve them:

--> make them wider and not quite as deep. More like the images in this:

http://img347.imageshack.us/img347/5650/previewtu4.png

--> I like the icons for the newbie, banned, clan leader and member although I think that the admin and moderator ones could be slightly better. For the moderator I would prefer to see a pen and paper. The admin icon would look better with just the tools I think, I can't really make out what is meant to be beneath them.

--> It would be nice to see some more, we are missing "Contributor" and "Founder".

--> Would the border look better if it was a little darker like the images above?

As I said, they are mostly very good. Well done.

[VoX]

:( Can you please teach me/give me some pointers on how to do them? And also give me the grtadient thing you use for them please.

[undeaded]

@ Vox : No and er...maybe lemme find them:

Chalex, I'll do it now... lemme have a look see.

[VoX]

YAY! Thanks Undeaded, I'll talk to you if I have trouble installing.

[undeaded]

Done :

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v285/undeadevil/c2giconsv2.png

[Chalex4]

Wow, I must say Undeaded that they are amazing. In my opinion these are certainly good enough to be used on the website.

Sorry, but since my last post I realised that there is no image title for "Graphic Designer" - it would be great if you could design one with the image being a paint palette. I think that you should be awarded this title because of your hard work in SOTW and in these new titles.

Sorry to be picky, but I still think the borders in the others are a bit more defined, with a sharper edge. If you added borders like that to yours, they would be perfect.

So, as soon as you have made that last title and made some changes to the borders, I will be willing to upload them to the site as soon as you are done. Since we have had no reply from Chazlene about him designing them, I think we can use yours.

[undeaded]

Will do tomorrow. Can't be bothered now, and I need to do some stuff.

[Chalex4]

No problem, we will finish this off tomorrow.

[Chazlene]

Where'd you get those icons in the bars Undeaded?

I'm not going to attempt to make any which all have the same style, because I think it looks too dull that way.

[undeaded]

search icons on google and click on Leo's archive.

[Hutch]

Could we have some ranks above member that are different and anyone can get for post count, I mean like loads more.

[VoX]

Yeh, could we have like CSS Admin and TS Admin and stuff like that cause at the mo there are people that have been in C2G ages with the same rank as like BaD-BoY

[Hutch]

I was meaning like for post count, 200= C2G Troll
300= SPAARTAN!
400= C2G Longcat

etc etc etc.

[VoX]

Yeh i see where your coming from, so things like 1000 (full bar)=FORUM ADDICT!

[Chalex4]

If someone wants to write me a list for every 100 up until 1000 then I will use it (if it is good).

[VoX]

0=Newbie
100=Bronze
200=Forum User
300=Sane
400=Losing it
500=Silver
600=Lost it
700=Seasoned Member
800=Veteran
900=Forum Addict
1000=Gold
1000+=Lifeless

Also, if we're changing all the admin and moderator things, could Chazlene or I make new buttons for things such as POST REPLY or START NEW THREAD as Undeaded has designed the new Admin and Moderator ones?

EDIT: Undeaded your baned one is not as wide as the others.

[Chalex4]

If anyone else has any better ones, post here.

[Hutch]

If someone wants to write me a list for every 100 up until 1000 then I will use it (if it is good).


0= New member
50 = Member
100= Forumite
200= Troll
300= SPAARTAN
400= Looongcat
500= Senior
600= Prophet
700= Legend
800= Myth
900= Hero
1000= God

Add in C2G if you want it in.. note the two memes of Sparta at 300 and Loongcat put in at 400. I think at least one of these should stay if my selection is picked.

[undeaded]

If you tell me a definitive list, I will do.

[Chalex4]

Undeaded, once you have made the final revision of your image titles I will put them on straight away. The titles these guys are talking about will replace the current "C2G Member" text, there will be no image.

[undeaded]

Also, you need to break each of those images into small gifs. I suppose pngs or jpegs could be used if you think they are much better. Remember to keep the background the colour of the side bar, or you could just make it transparent.

[VoX]

I said earlier about changing the Post Reply buttons maybe and here are my designs, all I have changed is the colour (slightly) and the size of the icon and the font of the text. Oh yeh, and the gradient, again only slightly.

[Chalex4]

Also Undeaded, please make sure that the images (gifs/pngs/jpg) are the same size so they look right on the forum. Cheers.

[VoX]

Sorry, with mine I forgot to add one for closed.

http://img184.imageshack.us/img184/6144/closedcopyvx6.jpg

[Chalex4]

At the moment VoX I prefer the buttons we have at the moment, sorry.

[VoX]

Ok then, just trying to come up with ideas.

[Chalex4]

2 things before I will put them on. I think the "Graphics" one should have a picture more related to graphics, a brush and palette would be the ideal. Also the "banned" and "admin" are a little smaller than the others, would it be possible to make them the same size as the others? I really like your new borders by the way.

[VoX]

Show off, lol I'm joking mate, there realy good.

Nope not a chance, no frikking guy is gonna notice.

And the graphics one is a bohemian type person. People who smoke weed, live in holland and go to Cafes.

I thought the link was good >_>.

[Chalex4]

Ok, I will upload them now and see how they look :D .

[undeaded]

Chaz should get graphics as well.

[Chalex4]

I am not giving anyone more than one unless they remove their avatar, if he does that then I will give him graphics.

[undeaded]

[Chalex4]

[geK]

Graphic Staff cant use arcade?

[Isphera]

Can I get one saying prick on it :)

[undeaded]

Here's one... stop frikking spamming you prick.

[VoX]

Do we get graphics if we win a SOTW or something?

[undeaded]

Do we get graphics if we win a SOTW or something?

I don't know. It's if you make a contribution/

[VoX]

To what? The graphics design of the website? Peephole hasn't done that and he has one.

[Chazlene]

True VoX, Peephole is good at photoshop, but he hasn't actually made anything that has contributed to C2G.

EDIT: I'll remove my avatar then, WTF's a screaming melon all about...

[VeNom]

I want one were it stands Surfer ^^ can i have 1 plsss

[Chalex4]

By the way everyone can now upload their own images to the forum by clicking "Image Hosting". Enjoy :) .

[VoX]
