Website suggestion

I'm not sure if this is the correct place to post this really, but can I make a little suggestion on the website please (The fact I havent before means I think it is awesome, btw)?

The buttons along the top, sitting underneath the banner, being:

Index, Calan, F.A.Q, Search, Memlist, Groups. Proifle, Mesaage and Login/Logout

Is there anyway that when you have a new message the button colour could be changed please? maybe to green, or red or something that stands out?

I've missed new messages a couple of times :S

I've moved this to Help Topics, hope thats ok?

I've thought about that myself but unfortunatly it can't be done. It should change from 'MESSAGE' to 'NEWMESS.' though when you have new mail.

Fair enough and....fair enough!

Sorry chap. It's my fault for getting a pikey website!

That seems kindof apt, considering the guild!

Hahaha! Fair point!

I don't get much trouble with that since I've only ever recieved 1 message... Though... It is something that needs to be addressed.

Yup, cant do anything about though I'm afraid.

Right, I've been playing about with the message icon and I think I've sorted it out. Everytime you get a new message it will show up in red like this:



Also we now have new New Topic/Message and Reply icons in a Star Wars font:





Anyone fancy messaging me so I can se how it looks?

Oooops - looks like I opened a can of worms.

On the plus side, they look fantastic Boss! Thanks muchos for doing that

it all looks good, the mew message icon works well

Mmm... Looks good! Can't wait to try it out in action!

Can we get a /sarcasm emote please? I really need one in the Chatbox

Since chopping up the "Guild Photos" album into "Users Personal Albums" we've been stuck with the same four thumbnails cycling in the Gallery widget. It's no big deal but I'm getting a teeny bit sick to death of the sight of them.

I love having admin control over my own album and don't want to give that up. Is there any way of pointing the widget to the whole collection of gallery albums?

I'll have a look into it now for you mate.

Bloomin heck, Boss. That was quick! Less than a minute response time! Best be careful though else folks might get used to such sterling service! lol

LOL! Yeah I think next time I'll wait for a bit!

Right I think the problem is that not enough people have created their own personal albums. I've looked into it and can't find anything to expand the number of pictures shown. I'll dig about some more though to see if there is. However we need more personal albums from people.

LOL!!! I just checked to see about the gallery problem and I saw this:



Hahaha! Have a guess who thinlizard is Redwatch?

I kiiiiind of figured that out from your email address, Boss. Came across you post looking for a solution to this myself. Thought it could perhaps draw more of a response with two needy, erm, needers.

P.S. - You didn't check your PMs over there did you? lol

Hmmm. I sent one just after my reply. I'll go see...

It's still in my outbox??? I've cut and pasted and sent it again. Not that it matters. It's sort of defunct now!!

I thought we could maybe use a general 'noticeboard' thread in the news/announcements section?

'ere, thats a good idea! (and an impressively lucid one at 03:30 too!)

Is it about time we ditch the Ventrilo widget? Since Brad went AWOL nobody is using it any more. Same goes for the two Current Time widgets.

And come to think of it, we've never got the Gallery widget working how we wanted so shall we bench that one too? I mean, I enjoy pictures of Charlize Theron as much as the next guy (well, maybe not) but, much like before, seeing the same few pictures over and over is getting boring.

So how about it? A good old fashioned widget clean up!
