Not worth it, Remember we made not once, but twice, that thread. All of it always remained suggestions, to the point lots of good people left :|


No I am not Ranting.

I meant both ,
a contest for a skin ,
which is a suggestion ,
so i thought maybe a suggestion box would be cool,
but i wasnt here when you had one before but it sounds like it went downhill :/

Why can't I see where I type anymore lol? Can't even press enter to make a new line in a post anymore wtf mengggsss :(

Ok I can only do so when I edit posts... lolol

I personally wouldn't have a suggestion box. I've seen that idea on various forums and it always seems to turn into arguments. As well as that, some suggestions are based on what an individual wants, rather then what the forum needs and will work better with. For example, someone could suggest we add Gamertags, PSN accounts and Nintendo IDs to the profiles, but being an art forum there really is no point as gaming is not what people come here for.

If you have a suggestion and do think that it'd be worth looking into, send me a PM and I'll bring it up with the others.

We're also looking into a skin already that might look good on the forum. It's been mentioned with the other staff that having a skin contest may not be the easiest thing to run since after we obtain the completed skin we'd have to go into coding it and splitting up the image into various components. I have a mate in Spain that does forum skins for a living and he says that the usual ratio for creating a skin is bout 30% graphics and 70% coding. Not the easiest thing to get right and sometimes better left to someone that knows what they are doing. In saying that, there might be a few other comps coming up that you guys might be interested in so we'll keep you up to date on those.

As for the problem mentioned about the formatting, it seems to be a problem with entering the advanced posting options and looking at the message in the preview section. Still looking into that at the moment.

==========

Note: Some of you guys might be noticing a fair bit of spam popping up lately in the intro section. We are working hard to keep on top of it since the upgrade altered our anti-spam settings. Just suggesting that you don't post in ANY of the spam threads while we are controlling this issue since the ban hammer is working a bit of overdrive and we don't want anyone caught in the crossfire.

The old shoutbox is not compatible with version 4 so we are looking foran alternative. I'm pretty sure it was mentioned in the thread before since Linda asked the same question.

Is the chatbox coming back?

People need to learn how to read, 6 people have already asked the same question...

So, this means that the Shoutbox will return when they find a compatible version.
