Forum Updates

Okay, so, recently I started modifying the looks of the forum. Few days ago, I managed to make the forum look as I wanted, and I made a new logo and "who's online" image. Not sure if they will be like this the whole time, so if anyone has any other ideas, they're all welcome. A new upgrade I made today was to modify the forum ranks. I'll show them to you!

Rank Title	Minimum Posts	Special Rank	Icon
New User	0	No
Rookie User	25	No
Senior User	100	No
Nintendo Fan	200	No
Nintendo Super Fan	500	No
Nintendo Ultra Fan	1000	No
Omega Member	2500	No
Legendary Member	5000	No
Brave Warrior	10000	No
Hero	25000	No
Angel	50000	No
Semi-God	100000	No
Master of the Universe	500000	No
Moderator	-	Yes
Admin	-	Yes
V.I.P.	-	Yes

So, what do you think?

NEW UPDATE

As you might have noticed, I switched from the white/dark red color scheme to a dark red/black color scheme. I think it looks better, aside for the lower part of the forum. Tell me what do you think, and if you don't like it, I'll change it back.

I forgot to say pretty cool icons for the ranks...etc...

Thanks revo! I know that they're not the best ever, but it's the least I could do. Might modify the Mario ones though. They look weird.

Another Update: Added the logos of the consoles under the console forums (as you noticed). The logos are just a small test though. I wanna see how the users like them, so I'll take them down if no one likes them.

Oh, and, forgot to explain the "Coins" system. The Coins system is like a karma points system, but instead of karma, we use coins (fitting the Mario spirit). To give a good/bad karma, there's a +|- button on the right side of a post. Plus adds one coin to the user, minus removes one coin from the user. But, guess you knew already

Oh, yeah, and I activated the signatures. I forgot about them

The coin idea is excellent. Thumbs up. The addition of the logos under each section is also a nice touch, small suggestion...perhaps shrink the larger ones to about 60% of their original size and see if that looks uniform with the smaller logos.

Thanks for the tips revo. Modified all of them, and now all of them are 206x46. Coin for you!

Since you thought the mario ranks look weird, I spent 20 minutes in my lunch break at work to make a set for you.
Don't feel obliged to use them if you don't like them. As I said, they're just quick digital doodles.
For the text I used a Mario font btw.

Wow, thank you for taking your time and making them DiD! They look great! Updated the ranks with your images. Thank you again!

Hey Gabby, forgot to say it's nice to see the new ranks in the forum.

Could you help me out? Can you see what forum mods are installed in your forum?
I can't find the bbcode mod you're using here.

Thanks in advance. Testing to see how this spoiler looks.

You mean forum modules? If so, the admin panel shows:

Spoiler:

 

Portal & Widgets
Blogs
Gallery
Footer Links
Facebook Connect
Points and reputation
Roleplay Game
Chatbox
Calendar
HTML

But if you mean other kind of modes, looks like forumotion doesn't support any mods.

OK thank you.

Already found how to add additional bbcode. One can do that inside the admin panel. Very nice feature.

Well, upgraded your account! Go ahead and implement it!

Oh. that wasn't necessary. I think i found some of the mods (widgets, add-ons,..)
FYI, I'm going to try to build a website with phpBB as core engine.

huh? did the site colors and layout change just a tad? or is it me? probably just me...I tried finding a way to upgrade afrosamurai earlier but couldn't find any sort of control panel to do so. Glad someone took care of it. How do I do that by the way just for future reference?

I see DiD is working some magic here too.

Yeah, I changed the colors. Not a fan of red/white. But, if you don't like it, say it, and I'll change them back.

As for adding users into the VIP group, go to VIP's page, write (or search for) the username, and press add member, and, presto, you're done.
