Bunch of new smilies & thread prefix icons

But, as a warning, we're moving towards more consolidation of forums (getting rid of quiet ones and merging them with others), which is why these "virtual forums" will become more important. You might find your usage of the site more difficult without them.

Hmm, in the future will we be able to designate labels that we don't want to see? For example, if I really don't like Mutants and Masterminds* for some reason could I set up my account to hide all threads with that tag?

* I just picked the name at random to use something as an example. I have nothing against M&M.

If you can show me how to do such a thing, I'll consider it. Sounds pretty advanced to me. I wouldn't know where to start.

I imagine it would work pretty similarly to ignoring threads or users, but if it's not a built-in feature of whatever you're doing then it would probably take somebody who knows more about vBulletin than I do.

It was just an idea.

By the way, I like the alt text that's appearing on the prefix banners, but I feel like the "Click here to see all threads for XX" part makes it a big long. I understand doing that for now until people learn how to use the system, but in the long run it would be good if you'd only see the name of the prefix when you hover over it.

Having the alt text like that means you don't actually need to have any words in the banners, too. So if some banner is really hard to read you could replace it with just a wordless logo and let people use the alt text if they don't know what it's for.

KISS and all that. There will always be new members. About 1500 per month, in fact!

Awesome

I wanted to put a vote in for the Living Pathfinder tag, (if we are voting that is). We don't have a forum but I think a logo will really catch some eyes to help us along.

To date:
66 members strong (about 10-12 newbies to EnWorld from other places just last month)
40+ approved characters
30 + characters adventuring in 6 games and I am about to start another
And we see blue skies ahead.

Hey Morrus anything on the tag for threads created by you. (i.e. Morrus Made) I think it would really catch on.

Thanks for a great site.

Sincerely your Double Silver Supporter

Use Pathfinder for now. If you're all good and use the tag, I'll think about adding a LP tag. Sound fair?
