Just noticed you guys got em fixed, good job.

[Sandwich]

Danke. They've been a long time in coming. I just wish I could figure out how to link each avatar to the respective project page.

[Polpolion]

They look neat . I wish I was part of a project so I could have one.

[Sandwich]

There's one solution to that.

[vyper]

They're not clickable though. They used to be clickable.

[brandx0]

Well I am a part of a project and I don't have one

They're not clickable though. They used to be clickable.

They have never been clickable in SMF. They were on vB because that was some sort of hack Styxx coded up and integrated with the HLP mainpage.

[Sandwich]

Making them links to each project is on my list of things to consider hacking in.

How do you get one o' them avatars?

JGZinv and myself work on the Fringespace mod

Not that I made that avatar image for any specific reason

[Fury]

Only projects hosted on HLP get avatars.

As well as links, it would be beneficial if there was a mouseover popup that said the name of the project.  Just setting an ALT text for each image should take care of that.

[RazorsKiss]

lol.

So much for the benefits of your own webspace

I just wish I could figure out how to link each avatar to the respective project page.

If you send me the PHP code you used, I might be able to figure that out.

Two questions:

1) Who would I need to ask to have badges given to my staff?

2) Are these badges intended to show that you've worked on a project at some point in time, or are an active staff member?

I think it would useful to somehow denote current from retired staff, even if it just means having to make another badge for retired, although some other one-badge solution would be nicer, I just can't think of one right now.

[Fury]

Those who have access to a project's private board(s), are in the project's membergroup and thus automatically have their project avatar. There are no groups for ex-staff and thus no avatars either because membergroups are solely created on purpose of giving someone access somewhere.

Whether you want to have ex-staff to keep their access to your private boards and thus also their avatar, is up to the project leaders. If you have people you would like to add/remove to/from your project's membergroup, you can ask admins in the Hosted Support board.

[chief1983]

Thanks a ton for the quick reply.  I'll have to look into that.

[chief1983]

Can someone please inform me of the restrictions on the avatars?  Currently the SWC one is a 256 color gif file, can it be a true color image in some other file type, as long as it's the right resolution?  Is there a file size limit?  Thanks a bunch.  I'd like to clean ours up a little or make a new one entirely that looks as nice as some of the other projects' badges.

[Sandwich]

Feel free to make a new one. It can be GIF, JPG, or PNG, of any number of colors. Keep the dimensions the same (25x25), and don't worry too much about the filesize - you're not gonna get much more than a 2-3kb image in that resolution even if you tried.

I'd recommend making sure that any new design you go with is visually Star Wars-y, however.

[chief1983]

Well I was just thinking about cleaning that one up but it would need to be higher colors to really notice, and making it less pink.  I'll see what I can pull though.

I actually managed to make it look a bit better so far and still keeping it a gif at 256 colors.  I think it's an improvement anyway.

Does the Campaign Restauration Project have a Logo?!?
