Hi. As I'm sure many of you know, this forum has never had a proper RFS-style thread for people to voice ideas about the forum and provide suggestions. I think it's important for all forums to have one in some form or another, so here it is. The forum hasn't undergone much change since I joined, but maybe that's because it can't be improved much further or because there simply hasn't been a place like this to foster suggestions. In any case, if you have any neat ideas that would spice things up, or anything else to say about the running of forum (e.g. Why was my thread closed?), please post here. Edit: Jun 18, 11 6:26pm

I was thinking about what to do with the header, and I think that having a banner would be good idea since the forum currently looks rather plain. And thank you Celes. quote Chimchar5
Sorry but I have to request you to change your name back to what you had before.
Who said that this thread was for requests?

Who said that this thread was for requests?  The almighty lawd spoke to me and shouted "THOU SHALT USE THINE THREAD FOR REQUESTS!" /black african-american christian preecher It's awesome because I can totally visualize a black african-american christian preecher saying that.  About the header image, anyone good with graphics who wouldn't mind whipping up one? I don't really want to make a competition as such, as it doesn't suit the nature of this forum.

re: Moderator's Corner

I'm not sure what would look good. Do what you think is best, but as Celes said, it shouldn't be over-stylised with fancy brushes and explosions but it should be simple and clear. What text should be on the banner? Just "Site/Forums Help and QA"? I'm not sure whether that would look tacky or not. Anyway, if you could make anything, it would be greatly appreciated, Chimchar 5. If you do choose to whip something up, post it in here and we'll take a look. Even if it doesn't become the header, it's bound to help create a better honed banner, so yeah, anything is appreciated really.

You can always ask in G&A Graphic ReQuests if you want a header. Some of the results that they achieve is somewhat awe-inspiring really. We need something that would basically encompass the entirety of the forum, of that makes sense. Good idea. I'll make a post soon in the Graphic Requests forum. quoteAlso, you could post Requests that have recently been approved and are now in action.
Such as?

re: Forum Feedback & Suggestions

Haha, you had me confounded for a minute there.  I've just ventured into the Graphic Requests forum, and it seems that it's designed for specific requests -- not wishy washy stuff. Should it have styled text or should the Neoseeker logo be in there somewhere? Also, what text do you think should be on the banner? I was thinking the obvious "Site/Forums Help and QA".  Thoughts, anybody?

I've changed my mind -- I'm going to hold a 'contest'. We'll see what kind of stuff comes in over time and take it from there.

Site/Forums Help and QA Header ContestHey guys! I'm looking for a stylish banner to be help make this forum look more atheistically pleasing and memorable. If you interested in making a banner, then please observe the following guidelines:
- It shouldn't be higher than 150px nor wider than 600px.
- There is no solid deadline. It depends on how many banners we get.
- As this is a site related forum, the banner should look clean and professional. I wouldn't recommend overcomplicating things -- simplicity is probably what you should be aiming for.
- Please post any entries in this thread.
Thanks in advance!

Looks good, especially the one with the border.  I think it may look better with a different font though -- just some constructive criticism. Thanks Maf.

You may be right there Dragoon about the colours, but I've gotta admit it looks slick as hell.

Yeah, it's easy enough to change the colour (even I can do it, and I'm the biggest n00b ever with graphics). I don't think it should be transparent (nor white) though, because that's what makes it even more distinct.

Wow, they look really nice, especially the first one. One problem though (I didn't notice this until just now) is that you're missing an 's' off the end of Site/Forum.

The & is for and in Site/Forums Help and QA. Good point about "help", but the banner looks so perfectly balanced without it.  To be fair though, this is a Site Related forum, so it's pretty important that there isn't anything missing from the forum name, if you get what I'm saying. The darker one is the bee's knees tbh.

Holy shit I can't believe I forgot the help bit. >_>
I'll try and ammend those two problems with mine tomorrow.
I must confess that I didn't notice either until it was pointed out to me.

re: Moderator's Corner

Hi there Xeroxed. If the Neoseeker Podcast (see Dragoon's link) isn't similar enough to what you're suggesting, please go ahead and create a thread in the ReQuests, Feedback and Suggestions Forum. This thread is for feedback and suggestions regarding THIS forum (Site/Forums Help and QA), not the rest of the site. It is confusing though, so I'll probably think up a clearer name for this thread a bit later. Thanks. :3

Consider filing a complaint or PMing a supermod about it if it's becoming a widespread issue.  And yes, I'm not going to lie to you: a handful of members are giggling about it in the Oldies Lounge like a bunch of little girls. quote Snow Ball
I've seen many people with it, and I'm tempted to tell the supermods about it. From what I've been told, it was an inside joke in the Oldies' Lounge.

re: Moderator's Corner

I went onto your profile and saw it as one of your recent posts — I did that when I was trying to figure out what banners you were talking about. Anyway... I've just spoken to a supermod about this. They agree that you should file a complaint so it can be investigated further. I'd also advise that you stop talking to the 'jokers' about it — that's only feeding them. Edit: Sep 01, 10

I see your point, but I don't think that outlawing frequent questions is a good idea. It goes against the spirit of this forum and I can't imagine people paying much attention to it.
We don't seem to get too many "How can I delete my account?" questions, anyway.

re: Moderator's Corner

Well, Justin, I think that anyone should be able to ask any site-related question in here, regardless of how obvious the answer may seem to some people. If I were to start imposing rules on what sorts of questions can be asked (beyond the fact that it must be about Neoseeker), the forum may become too hard for newbies to use, and that'd be in conflict with this forum's purpose.
