You may notice your ranks or groups changing as I try different things. Don't worry about it, unless you suddenly lose the ability to post or something. In that case, you'd probably better e-mail me. :D

And just to keep this up to date: I will be mucking about more today, so once again you may see things change abruptly during the day.

Mucking? Tsk tsk! What a naught word! We need something positive, like... fiddling!

My name is green too...

I wonder what that mean.

:shock: Maybe we're marked for spamming! :lol:

Edit: And my rank is hunter trainer now... :shock: Does that mean I have to stand around all day in one thread, giving new skills to other users?

In other words ... yes. *grin*

I'm working on a post that explains the group/rank system I decided on. Should be up in just a few minutes.

(And yes on the newest badges, Chrizesu, unless you added more in the past few hours.)

Ok, you have all of them for now. Don't worry, I'll start adding more as soon as you go to bed.

:twisted:

I am done mucking for today, but I intend to much more tomorrow so I am leaving this post here for now.

I just realized that all that mucking didn't bring the tiny logo improvement to show up.

Don't you like it? Or doesn't it work? Or did you simply forget? :lol:

Since you're fiddling about with stuff, I was also curious if there's a way to link back to the main Petopia site somewhere on the top of the forums? It would just be handy. ^^

Vephriel: Ask and you shall (eventually, probably) receive! Note that it's a pretty small link, but I'll take care of that when I get a new theme together.

Karathyriel: No, no, I like it! I'm just slow.

And another masterfully created piece of art the lightly sprang from my brilliancy was brought to use by the astounded audience.

:lol:

Thanks for using it!

I vote that there be a black theme. White is actually hard on my eyes.

They have tested this in order to find a way to keep people to stay longer on websites.

It is a fact that your eyes can read dark letters on a light background for a longer time then they can read light letters on dark background.

But it is also true that white is not the perfect background color, but some pastel shades of various colors.

Have you heard of Blackle? It's Google, but with a black background and white text.

http://www.blackle.com/

It was created as just a small way to actually save energy.

"Blackle saves energy because the screen is predominantly black. "Image displayed is primarily a function of the user's color settings and desktop graphics, as well as the color and size of open application windows; a given monitor requires more power to display a white (or light) screen than a black (or dark) screen.""

I may be wrong but it sounds kind of... I dunno... stupid? :lol:
