Postbit changes

Can anyone else see Snow's fucked up display?

I can...

I remember seeing WW in there a few days ago, most likely to approve of his messages. (why do I assume it's on purpose...)

It is most likely a glitch that didn't resize his avatar, or something weird is up with his sig.

[Dar_Win]

He was setting a new av layout for the top poster.

[Atnas]

Didn't expect that.

[Lenny]

Most active user (possibly users as it might be everyone with 100%, rather than just #1) - top poster would be Sov, I think.

[Atnas]

Lenny... You're all big!

WW, if you're listening... Try an anti-aliased circle.

[Lenny]

I'm bigger than you expect... avatar wise, obviously. :rolleyes:

I wonder if the colour of the circle changes in relation to longevity.

[!King_Amazon!]

It does.

For me, it's going to show up as a big ass red circle that looks obnoxious.

[Lenny]

You're going to have to wait some time, though - you didn't post on the 6th, so it should pop up for you onnnnnnn 4th May.

[Dar_Win]

How long for me? To lazy to look.

[!King_Amazon!]

How do you know this?

[Dar_Win]

Look at your posts.

Look at the last time you didn't have 5 posts in one day. It's 30 days from that date.

Oh, and the WRT and the THRILLER forum don't count as posts.

[Lenny]

I got bored so I had a look at your posts. :p You missed 4 posts on the 6th, and so 28 days (including the 7th) takes you up to the 4th May... though it might pop up on the 5th May.

5 and 30? I thought it was 4 and 28? :confused:

So you're telling me lenny went back through my posts for the last month to see what days I didn't post 4 times and then calculated how many days it would be until that didn't matter anymore in the 2 minutes between his post and my post?

EDIT: Nevermind, I guess lenny looked at it at some other point in time, which would make more sense.

It is 4 and 28.

[Dar_Win]

Yeah, it's 4 and 28. I'm to tired to remember this stuff.

[Lenny]

It was this evening, actually. :p I clicked the handy "Search" button at the bottom of one of your posts, and went backwards through the days counting how many posts you had. When I found a break, I looked at my calendar and counted 28 days from the next day.

[!King_Amazon!]

It might be worth it to note that simply getting to 100% might not be sufficient enough to get you the new layout. Perhaps there is more to it than that.

If activity keeps up like it has been lately, there probably wont be anymore breaks. These days I don't have much trouble finding 4 threads to reply to. These days I can get 4 replies in a single thread fairly easily.

[Lenny]

You find that it's exceptionally hard every now and then - I've ended up searching threads that haven't been replied to for a couple of days, just to get in a 4th post. :p

Though at times like these it's easy to get 20 posts in, let alone just 4.

What else, though? The only difference between you and I is post count, longevity and activity, so you should have no trouble. Are you thinking about things such as Member Status?

[!King_Amazon!]

We've both gotten 6 posts in this thread alone today.

[RoboticSilence]

It's cool and "compact" but a little busy, huh?

[WetWired]

You might want to redo your avatar. I stretched it for you, but if you reworked it from the source, it'd probably look better.

[!King_Amazon!]

I think the main bonus is the larger avatar, but everything had to stay in the same sized box I believe.

[Lenny]

Six, eh? Well in that case, I've got my four, I'm off! :rolleyes:

It's interesting to note how little your "Posts Per Day" thing on your profile goes up, even if you end up posting 20 a day for a week or so.

---

I don't think I need to, to be honest WW. Though for future reference, what's the new size for this thing? I'd guess at something like 200 x 200, possibly even 250 x 250 simply because it looks bigger than two normal avatars.

[!King_Amazon!]

Since it's based off of your entire history at Zelaron, and not just a week or so, it makes perfect sense.

[WetWired]

How do you figure it's busy? It has fewer elements than the normal one. Also, it's exactly the same size as the normal one. What's great is that the layout is actually a shit-ton simpler, too.

[WetWired]

150x150, like it says in your user CP.

[Lenny]

I checked just after I asked. :p

Thanks, though.

[!King_Amazon!]

Nice new avatar.

I guess the only thing I'm hinging that on is what animated gifs will look like, if the images are weirdly parsed (should we have to redesign avatars for circular design?)... well really just the placement of the username inside the image. *Does it contrast automatically to colors present in the Avatar or is it possible to have it come up indistinguishable from the background?*

*EDIT: Nevermind, I notice the "grey box".

[Lenny]

Thanks. :)

Just one of many different hats that the emu likes to wear. :rolleyes:

[MightyJoe]

Grats on putting up Sov like activity.

[Grav]

OmgBIG!

[Lenny]

You don't know the half of it.

---

Thanks, Joe. :)

[!King_Amazon!]

You don't know the half of it.

Thanks, Joe. :)
That's the second sexually related joke you've made about your new avatar.

[Lenny]

First intentional one, though, I think.

T'other would be "Just one of many different hats that the emu likes to wear. :rolleyes:", aye?

[!King_Amazon!]

I didn't even notice that one, this is the other one I was talking about.

[Lenny]

Haha, I forgot about that one. :p

Whatever happened to the young Lenny who joined two and a half years ago not knowing anything? :rolleyes:

[MightyJoe]

Well, my only question is what if I don't have an Avatar? "start"

[!King_Amazon!]

You get a bigger blank area.

[WetWired]

You are not at 100% activity. If you don't have an avatar, you don't have an avatar, you'll still have the new postbit, and the ability to upload a bigger avatar.

[Willkillforfood]

I had 100% activity for a good while there ...can this be retroactive? Bring on the avatar!

[WetWired]

For those in the running to obtain 100% activity, you can see your progress at

[Chruser]

Kickass! What about a circle that gradually fills up, composed of 20 different image segments (each corresponding to 5% longevity)?

Anything to keep me from having an obnoxious red circle around my avatar.

[Willkillforfood]

You've got a ways to go before you worry about it, KA =P.

[Lenny]

To make it look good, though, you'd still need a circular border around the image, and then maybe the segments around that circular border.

[!King_Amazon!]

You've got a ways to go before you worry about it, KA =P.
Not as long as you.

[Lenny]

And if he carries on as he is, then WW will beat both of you.

That'll be something worth seeing - WW at 100% activity.

[WetWired]

It's happened once before.

[Lenny]

I'm guessing that it was quite some time ago, though.

[Jamesadin]

I wont lie, I don't have the willpower or the time to get to 100%.

[Atnas]

I'll TRY to get to 100%...

Though this weekend I'm grounded :(

[Sovereign]

The name Covers the avatar on ocean :(

[WetWired]

It's supposed to. It's kind of like how the president's name covers the bottom of their portrait on currency. It does it on Synthesis, too, BTW.

[WetWired]

I've improved the longevity ring on Synthesis. It's about 4 times the work for the other styles, so I'll wait and see how it turns out on Synthesis, first.

[Lenny]

Atnas will be pleased. :p

It looks the biz, it does. Nice.

[WetWired]

I bet he'll complain about me not using an alpha PNG so the inside isn't jaggy.

[Atnas]

No, it's perfectly fine, now. :D Looks lovely.

I was on Zephios so I didn't see before. ;)

[Lenny]

'E 'at's champion!

And for his next trick, WW will integrate a gradient into the background of the G. Avatar area so that it progresses from black down to maroon all nice and stepped like.

[WetWired]

Actually, I like the way it is right now for synthesis. For the rest, even if I did the gradient, it would look odd

[Lenny]

I'm only teasing. :p

It's actually quite hard to distinguish between the black and the maroon, especially since the two aren't together. Don't know what it's like with Original Blue and Liquid Violet, though. Never use them, doubt I ever will. And I'm too lazy to check.

[Atnas]

Original Blue is very nice.

And yes, the two colors are hard to distinguish on Lava Ashes. Isn't that what you use? Sorry, I'm lazy also. ;p

[Lenny]

Yep, Lava Ashes for me.

I've just tried Original Blue and Liquid Violet - hard to distinguish on OB, easier on LV.

[WetWired]

Just one week left for me. Yay!

[Lenny]

Just pointing out that Sov doesn't have the big postbit, yet he's at 100%.

[!King_Amazon!]

Just pointing out that Sov doesn't have the big postbit, yet he's at 100%.
He doesn't want it, that's why.

[Thanatos]

So it doesn't automatically resize my avatar? I need to do it for ya? And if so, what are the exact dimensions?

[!King_Amazon!]

If you to to the place in your user CP where you change your avatar, it tells you how big you can make it. I think it's like 150x150 but I can't remember.

But yes, you have to resize it yourself.

[Adrenachrome]

cant post in the other thread, I was gonna make a joke





start

[WetWired]

Which is exactly why you can't post in it...

[!King_Amazon!]

Gotta have 100% activity to even post in that thread, if I remember right. That, or be a mod/admin or something.

[Adrenachrome]

So,


Edit.. Oh.
