[Mathew]

Rep blocks are very nice.
Graphics competition.. that's a pretty nice prize. :P Shame I can't make anything for my life.

Good luck all. :)
Waiting for the rest to be posted now.. :P

[flatface]

[Mathew]

Avatars size 150x150

Custom Usertitles (user edited, admin HTML coded usertitles are not available as of right now but this may change in the future
Glad signatures can be a bit bigger.. and nice new addition with the custom usertitle. I never really change my avatar anyway :D

It is likely that if 'Spam Bans' are successful we will consider rolling Forum Specific bans out across the board.

Like my wonderful Asst. has said. The spam forum was the first one going to get it anyway. But its kinda like a "trial". If it all goes well, then we don't see why not we can't put it across the board or to other specific sections. :)

Nice updates but some of them are just petty, like adding the the other word to the avoiding the filter, I think it was pretty clear before :S but yeah.

like forum specificnezz

Yeah, I understand how some of you may think. 'But I knew that already?' Although we had a few people getting confused. So we thought we make it a little bit easier for them. :)

[Plank]

I like the new rep blocks too.

What are the user group upgrades?

It says in the first post (last bullet point) but not the others

The 'Usergroup Upgrades' will be posted by Nvr. But due to him living in the USA he had to go bed :).

I saw your post before, now I know why you edited it ;)

anyway yh. just my opinion.

[GommeInc]

Ah good, looks like Donator can be called VIP again judging by the announcement. When will this be taking place?

Yes, there is some sarcasm in there ;)

I've just noticed a bit of confusion in one update, the wording is a bit dodgy...

BEFORE:

A5. Do not post private details or information – We do not allow you to post private information about yourself due to security concerns. Disclosing any information about another forum user without their consent is also not allowed. This includes
• Private messages
• Reputation comments
• Private conversations (MSN, Habbo, etc.)
• Images / videos of the user or social networking profiles (Bebo, Facebook, etc.)
• Trying to organize real life meet-ups

It is not allowed to give out the personal details (specific address, phone number etc) of anyone, forum user or otherwise.

AFTER:

A5. Do not post private details or information – We do not allow you to post private information about yourself due to security concerns. Disclosing any information about another forum user without their consent is also not allowed. You ARE allowed to post pictures of yourself, although they are NOT allowed in your avatar or signature. This includes:
• Private messages
• Reputation comments
• Private conversations (MSN, Habbo, etc.)
• Images / videos of the user or social networking profiles (Bebo, Facebook, etc.)
• Trying to organize real life meet-ups

It is not allowed to give out the personal details (specific address, phone number etc) of anyone, forum user or otherwise.
The bit in bold suggests "you may NOT include pictures of yourself in your avatar and signature ASWELL as private messages etc etc."

Perhaps it should be worded more like this?

Some excellent updates this week, and I am actually excited on seeing what's to come (especially the 'usergroup updates' with this week that hasn't been posted yet!) :D

Excellent work guys, +rep! :8

Your post

Glad I could help ;)

I can't help thinking it should be the Graphics Team doing the banners, but still nice updates ;)

Wicked I was gonna ask about that having seen the update, good to see you're on the ball :P


Nice updates but some of them are just petty, like adding the the other word to the avoiding the filter, I think it was pretty clear before :S but yeah.

It's just to show that abbreviated swearing isn't allowed either I guess, it's less obvious than full on effing and blinding


I can't help thinking it should be the Graphics Team doing the banners, but still nice updates ;)

I don't see why it should be limited to just graphics staff if other users want a hand at it, I know plenty of pixel artists and graphics people who aren't staff so no sense in not getting a wide range of attempts

Yeah but Graphics hardly get any tasks and the main ones are (forum) banners :P

I got bored/gave up;

wrong dimensions though ;)

[Favourtism]

Yeah but look at the pink skin. It could easily be wider/taller without making any differences ;)

[Immenseman]

Good changes. I like the new reputation blocks and I love to see that everyone can participate in making the new banners rather than having the same people make them. I'm sure there are lots of talented pixel artists who don't want to/have the time to be fully committed staff but are more than capable of making a decent banner so good decision.

Hope to see more in the up and coming weeks :)

Traditionally, with the exception of holiday banners the main forum banners have often been made by members of the community, given that its such a large part of the forums its just something we've done in the past and I wanted to bring it back because I think its a nice touch.

Graphics staff are more than welcome to compete and I would say even have an advantage since they've designed banners for Habbox in the past ;)

Usergroup upgrades on the wayyyy
