Some New Post Icons

Posted By: JoshPet · 10/06/2002

We don't really have a section for "Post Icons".

Allen, you can move if more appropriate somewhere else.

I colorize a few of the most popular requested post icons (used in other boards) to match the yellow/orange scheme that threads currently uses.

I will post them here... if you like, feel free to right click and add to your own sites.

Josh,

How about an enitre set? To be honest, all of the existing posting icons, in that washed out yellow, are pretty weak.

true, kinda reminds me of packer's colors

We could use a graphics forum, or at least an addition to a current forum for graphics.... hmmmmmmmm..

Posted By: JoshPet · 10/07/2002

That would be a good idea for a forum.

Icons, Graemlins.... buttons.... elements to share for your web site.

Like the blam buttons at the top are cool...

Sorta a "library" of stuff to share....

I know people have done other things with the post extras.... and I see "different" things when I visit other threads boards.

I wonder how IIP 6 will be handling the images... I remember Dave saying he was gonna add an image gallery

Posted By: JoshPet · 10/07/2002

Oh cool....
yes a way to post them (like above would be cool).

I have my measurection server set up to not allow "hotlinking" as we've had problems with bandwidth theft before.... so everytime I want to link to an image, I have to put it on my joshuapettit.com server and link to the images above.

A way to file, sort and search for images would be cool.

You leave my Packers out of this! Besides we refer to the color as "gold" not "yellow"

The image gallery portion of IIP 6 is working quite well but it's still based on attachments to posts. I do intend on building in some sort of thumb nailer too and building on the gallery display to include a dedicated gallery setup.

The only thing that some may not like is that when viewing images in their large, single image display the comments (replies to the post) are only displayed in a flat manor.

One thing that I think would be usefull is to be able to display a number of images in the same attached zip file. I have a pretty good idea on how to go about this and I will get this in at some point.

that sounds good Dave

'Flat'-mode is the way all 'gallery' scripts handle comments anyways, it'll be familiar
