Oh yeah, I forgot he said that. Then again no one else has made any suggestions yet :monster:.

Change them all to eye-raep white. Use of italics, bold and underlining as necessary.

I'm on board with Flint's idea, but you need to give people time to actually respond Aaron. Remember it's a Monday, some TLS'ers only log on a few times during the week.

I say give it til Wednesday and then if there are no objections or new suggestions we go with Flint's idea. I had wanted to go with different colours for site staff and forum staff (not just different shades) but I like the Bold + Italic, Bold, Italic thing enough that I'm happy for the colours to look similar, everything is neater that way.

EDIT: For the record I can't stand italics but it makes sense and I don't mind in this context.

Well part of my reasoning is that if someone comes up with a better idea we can always just change the colours again. It gives me a good excuse to procrastinate :monster:

Aaron you make a good point about being able to change them again. I've gone ahead and changed the colours for now to give them a trial run, suggestions are still welcome until Wednesday.

We should probably talk about the donator colour thing, although I think people should have the right to keep it if they choose.

EDIT: Well, they match at least :/

Shouldn't my user name colour be the site staff blue now, seeing as I haven't set a custom colour in my profile?

No.

As I explained, I didn't set the new usergroups to override the default because so many of us are using custom username colours. Your user colour is set by your display usergroup, and your display usergroup is Donator Gold.

I can easily change it for you if you like?

Please do :monster: I'd rather have it set through my user group than as a custom colour as I'll never see the latter.

Sorry I'm so slow at picking this stuff up. That's what nearly three years of browsing with everything off does to you :P

I implemented most of the colour suggestions for people's usernames as well. Except Lex who asked me not to for whatever reason. I haven't yet switched people who are showing as donators to display as site staff. Perhaps I should do that next? I also want to clean up the forum leaders page and show people in rough order of their hierarchy, which is probably the next thing I'll do.

After some chatting, we decided the site staff colour was a bit too bland, so we're tweaking it a bit to #30DFFF. I believe Aaron is changing it now.

Remember that we're still experimenting. Get your suggestions in for alternate colour schemes in the next couple of days :)

Sorted.

By the way, there are a bunch of people whose current username markups don't represent their highest position (specifically, LicoriceAllSorts, Tetsujin, Fangu, Ghost X, and AvecAloes). I'd like to change these, but I probably shouldn't without asking them. So this is me asking.

Octo did you just change your username to pink

or has it been like that for a while

Also yes the new colour is a bit nicer IMO.

I've been like this for about a week or so - it matches my hair :monster:

I prefer the new colour, the last one was too greeny.

In honour of the new colours, I made a new avatar for myself. It's only my third in nearly three years of being at TLS. All three have been musicians. The previous two were George Harrison and Stevie Wonder; you should recognise this one :) The sheet music in the background is from the Final Fantasy VI opera.

I couldn't use a 175px-wide avatar, by the way, so it must be an admin-only thing. I don't mind, though.

Oh, yeah, since I didn't mention actually doing this (just alluded to the fact that I was going to do it), the forum leaders page is cleaned up a lot now, though not as much as I'd like (I'd still like to clean up the username colours so they align with people's positions better).

We should have a vote on whether or not staff members are allowed to set custom colours in their titles from now on IMO. It would make the forum look tidier.

I like my gold, but I'm willing to concede if everyone else is on board with it. I'm going to have to point staff members to this thread to hear from everyone before moving forward with it.

So here's the deal:

let's have a referendum (teehee)

Should TLS staff's colours match the colour and style of their highest title? In my case this is site director so my username would become the colour and style of the site director user title. Tres's highest title is Admin, so he'd follow the Admin style (like he does currently). ?????

yay or nay

In a surprise revelation no one saw coming, I really don't care. :monster:

You can see how much effort I've ever made to change my username color.

Not sure why being a staffer potentially denies one the opportunity to change their username colour. Yes, it's tidier but then so would all of us having the same avatar or signature.

TL;DR, I change mine to go with whatever I'm using at the time, so no u.

I also approve of the revised TLS green, that's far more appropriate.

I really like my username color, but if everyone else thinks it would be tidier to have the color match the highest title's color, I'll try to go along with it without too much kicking and/or screaming :P

Edit: wait, when did my username go all grey?
