Post by bigballofyarn on Apr 10, 2011 8:00:53 GMT -5

For awhile now I've wanted custom banners for each section of this forum, as well as custom banners for each BOTM.

Right now there are 3 public banners on this forum:
-One that says "Bigballofyarn Forums"
-One that says "Christina's Forums"
-The one that's in the Comments/Questions Section

There are custom banners in the private boards too.

However I'm not very graphically creative, and I'm running low on ideas.

I would need the banners to match the color scheme of the forum... pretty much the same shades of blue as all the other banners I have up..... and they either need a box or an open space in the middle so the "Hey X, you have X messages" is clear.

I don't want just text on a blue box either. I want each banner to match the topic of the board that it's going to.

I understand this is a huge project. I don't expect anyone to offer to make me 20 banners in one day. If you think you can help with one or 2, that would be great. If you're interested in making the BOTM banner every month, that would be great too.

If you are interested, you may reply to this thread or send me a PM. Feel free to post any comments, questions, or ideas you have regarding this project.

Thanks,
Christina

Good idea. I also think it would be great to have official BBOY userbars and have a thread where users can request for their userbar to be personalized. It would be just a simple userbar, I recommend using rounded corners for such a userbar and not to use scanlines. Also, it could have this on it:
#MarsuTongue#

I personally could make an attempt at making it myself, but I am currently a bit busy with high school.

You mean instead of the home/help/login/logout thing?

Here's an example of a personalized userbar I have on another forum:

Also oxygen, I don't mean that all. They are totally different. Userbars go in your signature.

That is a userbar of the forum phpBBCommunities. If you see, it has been personalized to have my username on it.

No....

Someone makes a userbar for BBOY, and then when a user requests to have it personalized, someone personalizes it for that user. Actually, it could be one of the bonuses of being the member of the month. Getting a personalized BBOY userbar.
