Sounds like a miscommunication to me. All I was talking about was the orange bars.

Yeah, admins get full bars automatically. Unfair, I know, but that is how the system is set up. It's kind of complicated to explain how the post count works and I'm currently high on cold pills (yes, I really am sick) and can't remember what I was thinking two minutes ago so ... just remember admins are cheaters!!

And as far as all the scrolling goes... Everything is black, so it's hard to find the tab to scroll the page up and down. Is there some sort of personal preference I can change that with?
Yeah, I finally got some web access on my own computer. Turns out my moms comp just sucks horribly. ( Same computer she had when warcraft 2 came out, to give an idea. ) But I can see everything fine now, and no sidescrolling. This site is a-ok. /cheer Shiloch.

I agree... /cheer Shiloch. There is one teeny thing I would change. The "Walkers" emblem is a bit troublesome. The letters have the color and texture of a Frogloks skin. While froggies are indeed creatures of Nature, some of them are downright evil. Perhaps something a bit brighter and cheerful, say the colors of Nature, perhaps sky blue and forest green... ah, yes... that would be most appealing to Her. Maybe you could even snap a picture of Felwithe and use the arches in the emblem background. I think I have a picture I took when I was in the Plane of Growth of a unicorn... put its head proudly poking from the middle of the "R" in Walkers.

Lol, Robaz!

Froglok skin... :D

Pedi is actually getting credit for the logo at the moment. It was her idea!

Oh, sure, someone complains about the logo and you immediately give ME credit for it? :roll:

I got your e-mail Produs, I'll fix you up this afternoon. I slacked with the message board stuff yesterday and didn't do much with it. Very sorry about that!

About the side scrolling, I just loaded this up on a PC with 800 x 600 and noticed that everything requires scrolling to the side. This is because the main Walkers logo image is made to accomodate the 1024 x 768 screen resolution and pushes everyhing off to the side at 800 x 600. I'll work on the code for that and have either a smaller one put in its place, or I'll have different images showing depending on what resolution you're using.

If you're using 640 x 480, you're shit out of luck. I'm not supporting that screen resolution. Anyone playing EQ shouldn't be using that anyway.

I like the logo. I was thinking about using it with my EQPA doll I made and put a link to the Walkers page on it. I'm looking at least a year though before I find something to host my sig. That way if I do it sooner then I can say that I'm quick at acheiving my goals. :D

All you have there is two links.

Code: Select all

http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=545385

http://www.flashgordonrules.com/alliance/images/logos/dene_sig.gif
The board is just formatting the URLs into links. If you want to do the second one as an image, you'd need to use either HTML or BBcodes. Since BBCode is supposedly inherently easier than HTML, here's how you should do it:

Code: Select all

[img]http://www.flashgordonrules.com/alliance/images/logos/dene_sig.gif[/img]
http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=545385
Which would look like this:
Image
http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=545385

Or, if you wanted to make the image a link:

Code: Select all

[url=http://www.magelo.com/eq_view_profile.html?num=545385][img]http://www.flashgordonrules.com/alliance/images/logos/dene_sig.gif[/img][/url]
Enclose the img tags inside the url tags, which would give this effect:
