Oh! I have a suggestion about some content on the new layout Lexie. I've been working on this with a few suggestive things here and there. I'll show you when I'm done, which should be soon!
And I want a picture of Hawkstar! =) I'll try to find a small one!

note: still reading through the posts. You've all been busy! Been at an airport all day. My sister went to Australia. How about we give you images Tiger and you size them down and put in their names so that they're all identical. Also, do you think you could move the little banners of the cats to the side bar? We should aim for a cross between www.savannah88.proboards44.com and that lxlbriarlxl one. Tommorow, I will do some sketches and supply pictures of Coppertail and Rainlight. -yawn- Oh. And I will re-organise boards. |

I like that! Although, I think having Clan Information as one board would be better. Perhaps add Suboards? Also, I don't think we need the Farm for BeachClan seeing as that would have to be up further and the way I designed it, I thought perhaps BeachClan territory could get steeper and then the pine forest ends and moves up into hill side of FrostClan. You can add The Rocks, as around the edge of BeachClan (steep bank) is a collection of rocks which can act as little rockpools. Also very dangerous if you fall. I don't know how to incorporate a Lake into FrostClan so that would have to go. RainClan could take part of the more open land in the hills...but they're not really Mountains. We'll also need to add the Stream/Creek as it is RainClan's only fresh water supply. I'll put up a labeled map soon. I just need to expand it out further. Also, possible images for my cats; WIP www.istockphoto.com/file_closeup/animals/cats/6052494-the-cat.php?id=6052494i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh176/xTigerstar/Coppertail.png <--- Tiger made me this. |

-insane cackling- Does anybody have any objections, suggestions, or comments on the shiny new layout, beta tested here: twilightablaze.proboards81.com/index.cgiIf you have any problems with it, tell me now before we actually start using it. x3; I'm trying to find the image hover code. c: Once we get that set up, I'll make more banners and start on skins. |

I like the idea with subboards. We don't need a naming help, we have that link to that one and DA
Beachclan doesn't need the farm, we can move that to the no cats land or something.
Beachclan has a small tropical climate, almost like a North Caralina climate, like really warm during the summer then breezy and rainy during the winter.

thanks Tiger, hey, I was thinking of pictures for the Admin team? And a link added onto them leading to our profiles?
|

Post by Tiger on Jan 6, 2009 17:57:56 GMT -5
Yeah, we'll be having some of those. (:
It could be our icons, a picture of something we love, or just a photo of one of our cats.

Post by Lexie on Jan 6, 2009 18:03:17 GMT -5
I was thinking of one for me, but it could also just be our profile icons, but that would be too big
O Tiger, do you mind putting the C-box in the footer, I just feel a lot better when it's in the footer

Okay, admins need to provide icons for the side bar. Personally myself, I think the sidebar should be present on the main page only. But then, a new background might make everything look better.
I vote that Cat should be a moderator!
Also, I think the Beach should be in a bay. That's the only way you get the mountains/hills. Purau is actually formed by a volcano, that's why it's all rocky. The weather is warm in summer but it is not sheltered from the wind very much.

I do too! Cat will be perfect for the job! And bay it is. We can find pictures and they can be like a certain size or something

hey guys, I just joined looked at a site, and I saw this idea of making a password for the appilications so only members know it? It was really neat, maybe it can help us, instead of people going around taking our bio ideas.

Post by heartnet on Jan 6, 2009 18:40:09 GMT -5
That makes sense. Also, so people won't just take the code from a previous submitted profile.

Post by Tiger on Jan 6, 2009 18:41:28 GMT -5
I agree and I must admit that I was thinking about making Cat a mod. :3
Oooh...cool! But better yet, we can just modify the applications board so that only registered members can view. xD Then we won't have to bother with a password.
Perhaps the admin chat could be under the little about the staff thing? We could each have a picture and a little thing of what we want to say...

Tiger? Anyway to shrink down the intro bar thing (the one with our names on it) so it's the same size and the boards?
Also, is it possible to change the cursor so it's only crosshair over links? It might be just me, but it is starting to annoy me.

Thank you, yes, and yes. I'll mess around with the table width, fix the cursor, and make the banners. :3
By the way, I've found a few hover codes, but none of them seem to work. They show up just fine on the other sites, though.

:/ That's annoying. I've made some screeshots up with notes. Sorry for awful handwriting. Clan Stats  Staff Icons--All cat related or something more related to the person themselves?   |

Note: I changed the titles of some of the catorgories. Not sure how to get rid of the bar labeled 'forum name', 'posts', 'topic' etc.
Do you want to have them related to each board. Because I could change them so they're all an emotion and a part of the territory like I did with BeachClan and RainClan (same poem).
Or something like FrostClan's?
Or maybe just like this 'to hear the roar of the ocean', 'to taste the salt on the wind', 'to feel the crunch of ice underfoot', 'to smell the heather in the air', 'to feel the rain on your fur', 'to hear the rain through the trees', 'to see the stars and all their glory' etc

I was messing around with the header, and I inverted the colors and thought it looked really cool. Here's the original and the new one--which should I use? Or should I make a skin for each? xD   |

Post by á£Îmaý---♫♥ on Jan 6, 2009 22:22:52 GMT -5
I like the first one but I think the words should be in blue and maybe a little more layering of words. Also, the font is a little hard to read in the first.
The middle looks too empty...
I love the image of the cat. It looks like it is meowing the words c:

I like those suggestions, the "to taste the salt on the wind', 'to feel the crunch of ice underfoot', 'to smell the heather in the air', 'to feel the rain on your fur', 'to hear the rain through the trees". That sounds cool to me and I agree with Ali on that Tiger. I like both, but the first more even though I like the darker background of the second.

Skin looks great!
Now what left is there to do? Oh right, board organising...
Um, I actually feel like creating a seperate catergory for the areas on either side of the Clans. The hills around FrostClan and the hills around RainClan. One for the rogues and loners, another for well, whatever.
Catergory names; I've changed them. Not sure about the AquaClan one. I'm stumped on that.
More random stuff from Ali! Where we have the titles for each catergory could we colour it darker? The grey from the background perferably. Then the headings can be in the lilac everything else is in. Like they have done on savannah88.

For the categories: I have a code where we can give each category a custom image background (!!). It could be a simple little speckle design, you know, just to give it some texture. Sound good? :3
What are we going to do for the staff box?
