tk102 Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Though vB3's days are numbered, but I'll throw this out there anyway. There was a discussion thread in SWK's Ahto forum about the best way to go about birthday recognition between members. It occurred to me that if the name of the forum user was changed to a different color, say cyan or orange, on their birthday, it would be a simple thing to recognize. Even if this color change only affected the name list on the main LFN page (i.e. http://www.lucasforums.com page), it would be an effective reminder.

Ray Jones Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Birthdays are overrated and in there birthday threads just contain the all known blahblahblah and someone is always late. But regardless of what I just said, I'd also say in general that we don't need something like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Jones Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Naw. It's just that I classify them as unnecessary because I am not err overrating my age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSI Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Eh, don't know if it works, but we can try it out--it's always not a bad idea to try out new ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det. Bart Lasiter Posted March 26, 2007 Share Posted March 26, 2007 Vertical orange comic sans ms. It will draw your attention right to the username. Especially if it's a long username. - j m a c 7 1 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshi Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I suppose only on the main LF page it would be nice. If we tried it for everywhere, we'd get problems with different forum themes contrasting with the names making them hard to read if they were a similar colour to the background. If it was possible to either a) have a birthday colour that didn't conflict with any of the forums or b) had individual birthday colours for each forum then it would work.

Ray Jones Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Palette rotating should fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 I figured it'd be something like that. Now all we need is a willing admin... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Jones Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Ain't it like we have plenty of 'em hangin' 'round, and you just need to reach out and grab one? And while he's at it, he could .. massage your back a bit? Man, I want to be admin, so I could do that for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshi Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 And here we have another reason no one's made you an admin (that and your uncanny ability to move a thread off topic in a single post). Would any admin be willing (to do the colour thing)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
