    Oh, so are you asking for larger avatars for everyone?

    This is one reason that I kind of prefer having avs off to the left of people's posts instead of at the top, then av size can be bigger.

    Yeah, the format of it over the post instead of to the left definitely is taking some getting used to.

    I think it's going to take a lot more getting used to when we have lots of members with long-ass sigs that go on for half a page in addition to all the bars with the avatar/member names.

    At that point, you're going to want them to have avatars just so you know when the sig ends.

    Laura, I honestly think a sig character limit is a good idea. I jokingly complained about it, but it's smart.

    We're still working these limits--I gotta figure out what's reasonable.

    So I suppose that means you'll somehow limit image size in sigs as well?

    You should have seen my "toooo long" test sig.
    Probably 1,000 words.
    I'll be happy to see a reasonable limit.

    When you click on any of the forums in the main area, on the bottom right it says "Moderators" (twice I think).

    Will that be changed to say something else, like "Facilitators" or "Forum Management" or something?

    Not sure if we can do that, Patrick. Matt might know how, but I was under the impression that it was something that would have to be recoded rather than just edited, as we can do with most of the rest of the board. I don't think we can change the names of the buttons on the menu bar either. Without programming, I mean. But then it may be something that our designer can change easily.

    Regular members of the forum have the following sig limits

    Photo: 500x200 max--2k

    Text: 250 total length

    Admin on the site have not been fixed because I believe we can police ourselves.

    As far as the "moderators" at the bottom of the forum page...that might take some work. I looked and only saw it once though. :dancing:

    I'm thinking that there is a way to edit group names, or perhaps create new groups with the same permissions, but I can't remember for sure.
    There's one hole in every revolution, large or small. And it's one word long.. people. No matter how big the idea they all stand under, people are small and weak and cheap and frightened. It's people that kill every revolution.

    Oh yeah, the groups are all edited with the right names.

    I think Patrick is talking about that little box at the bottom of the page when you enter a forum.

    It says "Moderators" and lists those folks.

    yay for sig limits! Thanks, Matt.

    When you click on a forum name on the main page: It will then say "Moderators"
    on the black bar, then again right below that before listing everyone's name. It's redundant actually.


    EDIT: Matt is correct.

    Oh...

    I see what you mean, it is a bit redundant. Chris might know what template to modify that but I'm not sure.

    I think that people are kind of used to seeing that word to signify the "staff" so I am not sure if it takes away from the structure too much.

    I agree that if it takes some effort, it is totally backburner. It would just be nice to skip the term altogether if it's an easy fix.

    It wasn't deleted Will, it was simply moved.

    I figured since so many new people were showing up it would be nice for them not to know all the inside stuff. We are kind of past the original group.

    It wasn't to hurt anyone and I noticed a thread at camp about it so I thought the discussion could go on there for those who have a personal stake in the situation.

    It was not the only one, I moved several today.

    If you want to have it back, I can do that I guess.

    New Question:

    The Comic Tower forum will hold discussions about the DT comic series. This may lead to discussions about other comics, brands, etc. Where do conversations about other comic books/comic industry go? Same forum, or elsewhere?

    I think a subforum in there would be useful for that.
