Do you mind if I suggest something?

How about making the pictures black and white, and then scroll over and they turn into color? Good idea?

Well, it's an idea, but not one I'm eager to implement. It's probably more work than it's worth.

Hours of work for something that most people would only appreciate for about 6 seconds? If that's not worth it, I don't know what is.

it's simple code with javascript, but it requires making double the art, and uses more bandwidth that way (as 2 images must be sent, rather than one)

I think the way it is now has always been good. There's no need to have this "black and white turns to color when cursor moves over it" thing.

Besides, let people be happy that we HAVE highlights at all. Don't be insatiable.

Anyway, good job on implementing the highlights. Again :yes:

Sorry for being so demanding, I just like the way they 'light up' as they do now, just thought it would be interesting to see the pictures do that too.

See? I only had to commend the admins for the re-emergence of highlights and ITHOV becomes highlighted.

For me the "Related Sites" thing on the front page is displaying behind the body of the page, is there something you can do about this?

I just had an idea for the highlights. What do you guys think about the Highlights being the way they are now for logged-in users, but for guests, having topics up there that are more likely to be what they're looking for? For instance:

Logged-in users see the standard highlights.

guests see Guidelines For Forum Conduct: All Users Please Read., Topic: Freespace 2 Download Links (Make sure to look at all the pages!), FreeSpace Open Installer! Download it now!, and Topic: Download Freespace 2 SCP Pack v1.5c (Complete) by ShivanSpS.

This change would point more guests in the right direction, instead of having them post topics complaining that they can't find where to get stuff, which means a decrease in "Help Me!" Threads.

It'd also give guests an incentive for delurking, as then they could see the actual highlights.

So what do you think? Am I completely out of it or is this an okay idea?

As highlights, no, but if you'd like to gather a list of all the relevant threads together and put them into the Wiki, it'd be A1-SUPAR. :)

We could also find an appropriate place for them on the frontpage.

Sorry, I forgot about this. I am using IE6. And yes, I realize that this is an out-of-date program.

I'm surprised no one else has suggested it yet, but perhaps a highlight is due for the release of Inferno: Alliance?
