That's not a forum-specific thing and would require a site-wide implementation.
What you can do, is look here, in the forum where you can make suggestions about the site. (funny how I changed my mind on that one)

So you guys can't see the current forum header? Because I can, so I could re-host it so we can get it back up for the time being.

I re-hosted the image and Chad kindly put it up for me so it should be good again now. All of Gefloung's pictures were deleted, so that's why it was a flower.

I'm going to be looking into that stuff shortly, including seeing if I can't get a couple of different themes and a drop down bar for it. I agree the current "visited" highlight of the links is a bit bothersome since it's so similar to normal font colour and whatnot.

Good to hear. I'm all for the revival of the General Forum, but it's best to keep this thread to discussion pertaining to this forum.
quote Dragoon
Or at least change the colour of visited links, it can be hard to distingish from normal font. I had a quick muck around last night and changed it to something a bit lighter. Is that better on your end or should I explore further options? And even feel free to suggest colours if you like.
---
Couple of announcements to make.
The first is to give the OTGD more of a community feel and make it more inviting for forum regulars to use. I was thinking of naming it "Lon Lon Ranch". I like that for the name of it, but if anyone has any feedback or further suggestions I would love to hear them.
Furthermore, I will be posting something just before the game is released. I won't spoil the surprise now, but I thought I'd mention it (I swear I'm not a tease). Hopefully you guys will all like the idea and enjoy using it.

No need for two separate threads really. Any conversation pertaining to this game may be discussed within separate threads within the forum, and any other game in the GD. Much easier to simply rename it into a GD than keep it OTGD and have another one floating around.
And thanks for the feedback concerning the name.

Go ahead. I know everyone is itching to get their initial impressions out there.
Also, I'd like to direct everyone's attention to the thread I've stickied, Link's Journal. It's a place for you to record your progress through the game and the achievements or points of interest while discussing them with your fellow gamers. As more and more of you guys will be lucky enough to be getting your game as the next few days progress, I hope all of you will enjoy participating in it to share your personal adventures!

Hey guys,
I've been thinking about introducing a game thread for everyone to have fun participating in, and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas or suggestions they'd like to make.
I have one idea in mind. I've been thinking of something based off the concept of the 20 Questions game. For anyone who hasn't heard of it before, a player chooses a subject (so anything from OoT in this case) and then the other players have to try and guess what it is from asking questions that the person can respond to with a "yes" or a "no".
So feedback on that, or other ideas, would be appreciated.Edit: Jun 20, 11 5:09pm

re: Requests, Feedback and Suggestions

And why is that exactly? We're all here to discuss the game Ocarina of Time 3D and the GD is a place for people to become a closer community, so the discussion was about making the GD more Zelda-related to keep in theme with the forum while making it more inviting for everyone to use. So is there something the normal "Off Topic GD" title achieves that it cannot? Is there perhaps some other way you think it could be made better?
And thank you for discussing it in the appropriate place, I appreciate it.

quote Vex the Pirate
Alsooo this isn't important so small a few pages back someone said the GD folk were 'taking down the newcomers' or something. I DOn'T APPRECIATE SUCH SLANDER it was like two people :L The rest of us simply don't reply to them (cause they're kind of boring, not because we have anything against them)
Basically just don't blame all of us you jerk ;_; Are you referring to me? With the post on page eight, I was just stating what shouldn't be happening in order to maintain a positive and enjoyable GD. It wasn't a blame game, it's something for everyone to abide by regardless. I'm not sure if that's what you mean there, but that's my explanation if that is what you're referring to.
And I don't mind adding in "GD" into the title.
As for the idea, Roxas Rules, I did consider the idea of doing a Hurt and Heal now and again. Perhaps every couple of months or so for a bit of fun. Do something like throw up several ideas then have everyone vote on which one they'd like to do and go with it. Edit: Jun 21, 11 6:29am

A no would've sufficed, there's no need to talk about/quote a member like that in public so I've removed it for you. I know I asked if you meant me, but that doesn't mean publicly pointing out who you mean because that can just lead to unnecessary conflict. If you have any genuine concerns, you can always raise them with me over PM. Simply continue to avoid confrontation as you say you're doing and then there's no issues to be had. You want the same thing after all, which is no issues in the GD.
And thanks for the ideas Roxas Rules, they'll likely feature as the first set of options if/when the game is put out sometime in the near future.

I'm sorry it reads that way to you, but that's not my intention here.
Thanks for the feedback Roxas Rules. Has anyone else got anything to say about the game thread ideas or something else to throw into the mix?Edit: Jun 21, 11 3:27pm

I just need to consider the layouts so I'll probably get one/both up today or tomorrow. Got a friend coming round so not sure about my time constraints right now. I've started on them though so not long at any rate.

I trust people not to cheat and try looking up the characteristics of what is being guessed at. It is just a game thread after all, so we should all be in it for the fun anyway. And hopefully saying yes/no to things like "are you a girl?" wouldn't make it immediately obvious anyway, haha. With any luck, it'll be fun enough that being a guesser or the one doing the questions is equally appealing and so people won't feel the need to in the first place. ^^
And thanks for the feedback. I did actually sit around for a while before the idea of 20 Questions popped into my head. Going for Zelda themes, just so you know.

Sounds reasonable enough. If I was to make it I'm not sure when I'd get round it to it right now (friend still being over and whatnot), but if you want to please feel free. I can see there being quite a few glitches so a place where they're all recorded for discussion sounds good.

I've got the adapted 20 Questions game now up and running, so everyone should pop on over and check it out!
I will be doing a Hurt and Heal also, so keep your eyes pealed. It'll be a now-and-again thing though, whereas the 20 Questions game will be continuous.

Hey guys, got a few things to discuss.
Firstly, a big thank you to everyone who participated in the header/footer contest. I know it's a shame we didn't get many entries, but to everyone who did submit one and those who voted it's all appreciated.
Secondly, on the game thread front, I've not forgotten about looking into other options. There was positive feedback for the Hurt and Heal and, following the success of the 20 Questions thread, an irregular Hurt and Heal for some fun could be on the way soon so keep an eye out for that one.
And finally, since the contest has ended, our new header and footer is up. I've added a few links into the header but I wanted to put it out there that if anyone has any suggestions for it I'd be all for hearing them. I've had an idea about looking into doing a featured thread where once a week an interesting thread could be awarded the title and featured in the header. So any thoughts on that or any other ideas would be appreciated. 
Oh, and about the "create an item" thread. Such games may not go through, but always feel free to make a thread about such things. Example: an item you'd liked to have seen in the game and why. Just because there isn't a game doesn't mean we can't discuss such things, since it does have a discussion value and it'd be a waste not to explore it.

If I see more good discussion coming from various members it's definitely something I'd like to do. We'll see how things pan out. ^^
Also, small notice guys: updated the forum rules to incorporate a specific address to the use of crude language and explicit topics in the forum. Correct etiquette is expected at all times as part of common sense and decency, but I decided to make it clearer in the forum rules to ensure no confusion on the matter.

This game is rated G for everyone, and forum conduct is to be appropriate to that fact. As I said: if you want to discuss such topics, do it where it's appropriate and permitted, you have options available to you. Just because it's not acceptable here doesn't mean you can't do so somewhere else. The matter is not up for debate. The forum rules reflect the nature of this game and its forum. Posts in this forum will therefore be expected to adhere to it accordingly.

Haha, you didn't even answer my question  I don't have to answer you on those questions, and I won't.
And I've already explained the stance and the rule, ssjgoten. You're only discussing the sitewide rules, which isn't including the specificity and appropriateness of forum-specific rules, which are in place with equally good reason. I respectfully ask you not to tell me what my job is, as it's not up to you to define it.
I have said everything that needs to be said on this matter. Adhere to the rules to post in this forum, it's as simple as that.

re: Requests, Feedback and Suggestions

Oh yeah, forgot to get back to you on that one, sorry. As it is I think although discussing the creation of new mask ideas for MM would be fantastic, for OoT it doesn't carry the same discussion value since the masks only really serve an aesthetic purpose, which would make that sort of thread rather limited to "this would look nice" sort of posts if you get what I mean.
Discussing mask ideas for MM in the GD would be interesting to see though. Still have that possibility of a remake above our heads. And can always discuss ideas for OoT masks in tandem. As an alone game thread though I just don't think there's enough potential, given the nature of masks in OoT compared to MM, if that all makes sense. But yes, I'd definitely like to see mask discussion happen in the GD if you're interested in it.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I think it would be best to just keep creature discussion to individual threads rather than a collective one. That way they all get their individually deserved attention and whatnot.

Seems to be okay now, at least on my end. Sometimes the threads can be funny when they turn a new page. If there's any further forum issues, a thread can always be made here to sort it out.
And don't worry, it's no hassle at all.

Thanks for sharing the thought. If several people express interest in it then it's something to consider. I don't feel much need for it myself though; everything's there to be seen on the first page without being lost and whatnot. And there's always a link left upon closure, so those who work through subscribing to threads should see the link when replying anyway while those who are regulars will see it easily enough through browsing.
But like I said, if a group of people put in a want for such a thing then sure. I just think if people are already frequenting the forum, then there wouldn't really be a demand for notifications if you see what I mean. So if anyone else has input to share on this it'd be appreciated to gauge the interest for it.

This sort of thing was brought up once before for I think it was locations and my response was that it's better to just keep a focus which right now is characters. For enemies and whatnot if people are passionate about it I'd be more than happy to see people make threads about said subjects and discuss them (you'd be sure to see me join in!) regularly without it being an official "of the week" selection, but I don't want to start clogging up the weekly thread concept with too many different themes.
As for bosses they are individuals with a rich history and sense of character, and so more than acceptable under the umbrella of character. It's also important to note that they have a direct affect and participation in the story of the game.

Going to reply to this while I feel a little better and still remember. 
If someone was willing to do something with enemies then I'd be willing to talk to them about it. A possible alternation between characters and enemies either week, for example. I don't want to start running the enemy thread by myself as well as characters though.

More than that, but there's a good story. I made an announcement more recently in the OTGD and said that once the next enemy thread is done I'll replace the MotM bit then.
And I'll take a look at the code.

Does sound like a cool idea. Two things I'd like to point out:
1. It'd be great if we can know there'll be at least a few "regular" participants so we can ensure some stability to it. So if those people would like to make their voices heard here that'd be helpful.
2. Doesn't have to run as long as a week per game (although it could), but I'd say give it longer than 48 hours myself to ensure everyone has time to participate, have some discussion, etc.
