Was thinking more for a locked topic mate

[FUBAR]

I'll work on the padlocked for a locked thread too copying base images from KK website now...

Hey ryan,

Can you set an image to a transparant backgound on paintchop? that way the background colour wont matter

[FUBAR]

You can but I don't think that anyother program except Paintshop Pro recognises it as transparent...  i'll investigate when I get home

Ok, I asked a friend who knows about these things & yes you can, they must be saved as.png files & then they can be displayed in internet explorer and it maintains the transparency levels.

I made one to test it but there's Hitch though... I can't host .png files on my Photobucket account so when i've created them all i'll e-mail them over to Jamie

Breaking news

When i get the apartment i will be creating an FTP site for use by people i know. This should help out when we are trying to do stuff like this in the future. Also it will let people share music and video files

You should be able to save it as a Gif, they recognise transparent areas.

[55starchief]

I see we have user labels now will it show the post number aswell? you know everyone wants to see a number

[55starchief]

Just noticed the preview button as well

[philoldsmobile]

i cant see a postcount. do we have one?

[55starchief]

not as yet mate we have a title under your moderator it says newbie, not sure but think this changes after 120 posts or something

*edit *
just had a look at the code on the minibb site might be 300 posts before you get to the next level

[FUBAR]

if you click on your name at the top of the page you can see your postcount & number of threads posted in too

[Jamieg285]

Post boundaries can be reset - it is 300 at the moment - I will keep you in suspense as to what the cat's are.

Will look into addind post count to it.

Would the file upload tool for this forum be of use for this? Everyone should be able to use that with ease (not all of us know how to use ftp) for uploading and downloading.  It does cost, but $30 isn't a lot.

Shouldnt need it mate as you can do FTP with internet explorer and if you just want to download add the FTP site as a network place on XP

Jamie,

I sent you the little donut pics last night

[Jamieg285]

Yep, I got your email.

Development time is limited to 1-2 hours per night max at the moment. Will get to them though.

I was figuring on the different flavoured ones for each sub-forum, but not sure exactly what to use for the topic icons yet (haven't seen or worked out what options there currently are to replace.)

[FUBAR]

Thats cool

My same thoughts for the flavoured ones there's a few to chose from there (16 I think) so plenty of choice  I do think the Orig Glazed one should be added as a smiley too tho :kk:  

[Jamieg285]

I have looked at the forum icons and we have the following to replace:

Topic empty(i.e. no replies) - empty page
Topic default (i.e. some replies) - full page
'Hot' Topic (i.e. 2+ pages) - full page with +
Locked Topic - full page with circle/slash
Sticky - Page with !
Locked Sticky - Page with ! and circle/slash

Also bear in mind that we might want some variations on each of these to be used to highlight unread posts.

[FUBAR]

Topic empty(i.e. no replies) - empty page - Blank Square
Topic default (i.e. some replies) - full page - Donut Icon
'Hot' Topic (i.e. 2+ pages) - full page with + - Steaming Donut Icon or KK 'Hot' sign (not yet made)
Locked Topic - full page with circle/slash  Locked donut icon
Sticky - Page with !  dunno, extra sticky donut?
Locked Sticky - Page with ! and circle/slash dunno
