Control Panel screenshot has been updated. <a href="/shot.gif">Screenshot</a><br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

More changes at the same page with new icons... cant think of one for the "Add reminder" though... what should it be? a brain? a brain with a lightbulb? Hum...<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

Cool, make sure all icons have the align="absmiddle" so that they are perfectly aligned with the text. Actually this is something that needs to be done to all the other icons as well (speaking of the posts icons), both makrup ones and the rest.<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

Using the icons MTO created (thanks![]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]), I've made anothe screenshot so everyone can see where the new things will be located. I'd like to remove the text next to the icons, but that might cause confusion, but I'll wait to hear from all of you on that. Here is the shot:<br /><br /><a href="/shot2.gif">New Features</a><br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

This is just awesome Scream!<br /><br />Could the wording be a bit different to "add this thread" and "add this forum"?<br /><br />The way you have it in the screenie is a bit confusing.<br /><br />Otherwise......Great job!<br /><br /><pre>Brew<br />CustomShowCars.com<br /></pre><p>

I think the print icon and the send to friend might not need the text since they are both the ones that will be less used and very self explanatory by themselves (at least the printer). There again... it does look good... will have to come back in some hours to take a second look as the first one can be missleading.<br /><br />Hey Scream... you telling me you code in that thing you had in the background?! Wow. I dont think I could ever do that []/w3timages/icons/laugh.gif[/]<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

Updated with a new reminder icon. Not sure it looks like a brain (hard to make one), but does it look like a "reminder"? I hope so! []/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/]<br /><br />By the way... not all these icons are entirely created by me. I took snapshots at the IE and other system icons that everyone has learned to recognize. The gray icons are the most original ones (except for "add to favorites" and the printer). <br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

or it can be a folder with a red check mark.<br /><br />[:red]--------------</font color=red><br />http://extremeforums.org

Since I am into it... hahah... here is another suggestion, a "no picture" picture for those who dont have it... to encourage them to get their picture in...<br />[]http://www.wwwthreads.com/files/10-32682-nopicture.gif[/]<br />Maybe it could show in profile and control panel. Obviouslly not in the posts... but maybe being in the profile would encourage them to upload their pics...<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

A "No picture" picture.....<br /><br />Har har har!<br /><br />I love it!<br /><br /><pre>Brew<br />CustomShowCars.com<br /></pre><p>

Regarding the new feature screenie of the forums......(Not the home page)<br /><br />Could you put links to the main index page at the bottom?<br /><br />It would make it a bit easier to get to the main page, with long pages, if the same link bar that is at the top of the page were also at the bottom of the pages.<br /><br />Thanx!<br /><br /><pre>Brew<br />CustomShowCars.com<br /></pre><p>

I tend to agree witht he Brewmeister there. It is a little confusing. I am referring to both the wording and the icons. I would think the icons should all be totally unique so there is no mistaking them. As for the wording, how about something like, "Favorite!" and "Remind Me!" or "Highlight Thread". Also, the Print option I assume removes all color formatting to make a printer friendly view. That might be reworded to "Print View" or somethnig along those lines. Some people might (no, they defniitely will) think it actually will send the page to their printer. hehe... trust me, they will. LOL<br /><br />It is really looking sharp though. Great work! The nice thing about using icons as it allows for a customization. But I really do they should al be unique and not resemble one another so closely.<br /><br />Jhariden (aka Strategist)<br />Stratics Forums

I like the icons (great work) but IMO you should not remove the text (maybe make it an option?). I believe the icons help identify the features at a quick glance but they don't replace (no matter how good they are) the word.<br /><br />

Yes, I think I agree on this as well... though maybe it doesnt need an option, I think just deleting the text in the language file should do the job... just make sure that if you need the same wording somewhere else you grab the text from some other place than the ones intended for buttonlinks.<br />Also, dont give it width and height (I think I have it in my test page) so that we can change icons without hacking in... though this is done everywhere else so I guess I doubt you were going to do it anyway... the align variable should still be there though.<br /><br />Mateo Byler<br />CruceDeCaminos.com

Ok, at this point the only place that I'm using Duplicate icons for the new tools is for Add Thread to Favorites and Add Board to Favorites. What's a good way to differentiate these 2 types of icons?<br /><br />I like the Favorite! and Remind Me! stuff, it's shorter and to the point.<br /><br />Maybe the Print one should be changed to "Printer Friendly" or something like that. Whatever everyone thinks.<br /><br />-------------------<br />Scream<br />WWWThreads

Scream--<br /><br />Two things:<br /><br />1. The e-mail this thread to a friend is necessary to help build community--the sooner the better. I think perhaps it might be better if "to a friend" were in the text, or at least in a hover text--it might be confusing to some people if it just says "e-mail."<br /><br />2. I would like to see it long like MTO's rather than wide like yours so that we only have to use one scroll bar.<br /><br />:-Doug.<br />[]Doug@FootprintsintheWind.com[/]<br />www.FootprintsintheWind.com

I don't think it's a big deal about the print option. When I hit "print" on my browser, I'll take what I can get, as long as it prints. Regarding the color removal, I have thousands and thousands (and THOUSANDS) of dollars in equipment, and I still don't have a color printer (although my wife wants a color printer and says I shouldn't be so cheap), and I'll bet many others don't use color either. Just make it print, that would be great! []/w3timages/icons/cool.gif[/]. So as far as the icon, what's wrong with the standard Netscape or IE type and the simple word "Print"? It's highly intuitive and after they print one or two pages, they'll know what to expect after that.<br /><br />http://www.yourvacationdreams.com

Oh, one other thing: Would it be possible in the control panel to have it list posts addressed to that user?<br /><br />IOW, when I log on, can I have a list of posts replying to my posts?<br /><br />On days when I am in a hurry and looking for an answer to a hot problem, that would be a real Godsend....<br /><br />:-Doug.<br />[]Doug@FootprintsintheWind.com[/]<br />www.FootprintsintheWind.com

You mean it was really supposed to print? ROFL<br /><br />I assumed it was like the print hack that was listed in the PHP Hack forum. I had no idea you actually meant for the REALLY PRINT. hehe... < shrugs > Personally, I'd rather have it just give a printer friendly view. Then you click on Print on your browser.<br /><br />Jhariden (aka Strategist)<br />Stratics Forums
