First off, I've finally set up our new website @ www.provincecyrodiil.com - it's still very much a work in progress and all the features haven't been implemented yet (I haven't even figured out if I CAN implement anything beyond the portal system yet), but I've been working on the graphics set a bit and I wanted to show off the new forum and topic icons. These were all made based on my own Septim coin which I got with the Collector's Edition of Oblivion. I ended up shooting photos of it on top of a green poster board, I have a scanner but the problem with using that is the fact that the "heads" side is significantly elevated to the point where it doesn't sit even on the scanner. Scanners are of course designed primarily to scan flat surfaces so parts of the coin turn out too blurry-in other words scanners have really poor depth perception. lol Anyway, here are the fruits of my labor: Forum Icons Forum - Read: ![]() Forum - Unread: ![]() Forum w/Subforums - Read: ![]() Forum w/Subforums - Unread: ![]() Locked Forum - Read: ![]() Locked Forum - Unread: ![]() Link Forum: ![]() Topic Icons Topic - Read: ![]() Topic - Unread: ![]() Topic - Read - Hot: ![]() Topic - Unread - Hot: ![]() Topic - Read - Mine*: ![]() Topic - Read - Locked: ![]() Topic - Unread - Locked: ![]() Topic - Moved: ![]() Announcement & Sticky Icons Announcement - Read: ![]() Announcement - Unread: ![]() Announcement - Read - Locked: ![]() Announcement - Unread - Locked: ![]() Sticky - Read: ![]() Sticky - Unread: ![]() Sticky - Read - Locked: ![]() Stciky - Unread - Locked: ![]() *-I'm only providing one example of a "mine" icon-it indicates which posts were made by you with a little white dot in the corner. The variation is too minor to post every single one. lol If you look at the new forums you'll also see I've also created all the forum buttons, although I think I need to make them a little darker in color. I'm posting all these icons here since you can't really see of of them on the forum at any given time. lol I also had to change the maximum number of images I can put in a post for this.

Here's some "bonus" images of different "states" for the Septim coin icon rendered in high resolution: Tails - Read Tails - Unread Tails - Read - Hot Tails - Unread - Hot Heads - Read Heads - Unread Heads - Read - Hot* Heads - Unread - Hot* * - These were rendered for fun since there are no "hot topic" icons for announcements on stickies. |

One suggestion, it is a bit difficult to see the difference in the read hot and unread hot topic icons. The unread one's dragon could be made the normal coin color which would then be a significant difference and one would be better able to see that a hot topic has either been read or not. |

Made the change you suggested-although I wonder if it'd be better to swap the two around and have the read one show the normal color coin-that would maintain a bit more consistency between the hot and normal topic icons. Edit: I went ahead and did that, the changes should show in the icon list above. Edit2: Now I'm kinda thinking I should maybe switch them back...lol Edited by DJGamer, Dec 3 2010, 10:14 AM.

Hopefully this switch will become a more permanent home for us and we won't need to switch again. I hope to see your face around here a bit more often SWG. |

Obviously the main thing that inspired me to switch to phpBB was Great House Fliggerty. Might have to ask Fliggerty for advice on how to install different features on the site and incorporate them properly with the theme-that's the main hurdle I may have to leap over to get stuff like the image gallery installed. |

Looking good DJ thanks for the work and money you've put into this.I would like to see the main page less cluttered though. Right now it isn't very tidy because of all those things like the clock, calendar, peak poster thing, etc. Are these thing necessary? Otherwise, I think it's very nice, with the board integrated and all. Do you want us to register up there or should we wait? |
