I mean, personally, I find BYOB so visually busy it's hard to read already, I have to turn sigs off or I have a real hard time. If you're gonna start filling empty spaces with even more dancing gifs that's cool and all but, maybe have the option to turn them off too? | |

That's another good point. I like the CSPAM text which is the only reason I brought it up

My ideal interface looks wildly different from what it currently is in the browser. I'd prefer something more like the Awful app. |

How about a customized version of our icon/label/thingie on the forums index page? Several forums have customized graphics already, so it seems to be possible. |

This reminds me, all these thread tags need a square version for the Awful app, don't they? Any idea what those specs are?

Some answers! Custom newbie avs are sadly not possible, it's one av applied automatically to new users and thus immune to any stylesheets. cruft posted:It's got some problems but it's a start. Including a JavaScript like this would also end up as a hard-coded feature to be anywhere close to usable for a plugin like that, sadly. While not brutally impossible, it's something Jeff and astral want to have less of, not more, so I'm afraid this can't happen currently.

That said, note that the byob stylesheet in its entirety can be blocked by any ad blocker if you rather have it gray or just happen to browse a lot at work or something like that. Just add this to your ad blocker: code:

is it possible to automatically change the word "lurker" into "future poster"? it sounds nicer i think |

but then how would they know that they must post?

Can we finally get rid of the Nazi imagery? I feel like in 2021 maybe more people will agree with me that Nazi poo poo is bad? |
# ? Jan 29, 2021 01:18 |
I doubleagree on that one, I get that nazis are extremely un-byob but there's plenty of other unbyob things that could fill the role without spreading swastikas even. Also this one: we also lack a post icon?? |

Teddy Thunders posted:The app converts them. Hi, I seriously doubt this, the original icons are 60x15 pixels, which is potato quality at the resolution the app uses. Somebody must be creating an app version of every icon. If I'm the only one around here with a sliver of artistic talent (and I do mean a sliver) who cares enough to re-make the swastika banners, I will gladly do so. I just need the dimensions for the Awful app. |

Maybe unbyob should be coupons and deals related |

It looks like the scrollover text now allows fewer characters. The quesadilla story has been brutally truncated. |

cruft posted:Can we finally get rid of the Nazi imagery? 100 percent agree. I get that Nazis are super not BYOB, and are super not chill, but I also am very uncomfortable with the swastika being used even to cast opprobrium. |

Hi, your local queer buddy here: Yes please take away the swastikas. gently caress Nazis. Cruft--lemme reach out to the appgoon and see; I was straight up told there was conversion magic happening but I could have misinterpreted it. |

Actually you can probably get hold of appgoon p easily, I'm unsure if sereri is still the only appgoon tho |

Apologies for not keeping up recently, I can't do forums stuff for a few days because of Bad Things, but alnilam got your backs and I'll catch up as soon as I'm back in action. I agree on the unnecessary swastika, as a gay man myself it never really bothered me, but it also adds no value and has frankly no place in BYOB or anywhere on SA, really. I'll relay that to the admins to have these tags changed with the cool new ones you guys made. BoldFrankensteinMir posted:Edit- I'm suddenly struck with curiosity: do they know about the joke? How into the joke is coupons&deals? Who would we ask? It is not really known outside of BYOB. As a matter of fact, when I joked about it in the mod forum with Eldarion, he didn't even know and he's been their mod for around 18 years now. I think the coupons dragon, NYC_Tattoo, heard of it at some point as we briefly posted about it a while ago, but it's safe to assume it's an insider joke in general. That does not mean, however, that we shouldn't have a tag for it imo, I like it and noted it down! Goons Are Gifts fucked around with this message at 15:42 on Jan 29, 2021

Awful App icons are 90x90 and each one is recreated from scratch, it seems. My vision for "UNBYOB" is a freaked-out cat. Seems the most appropriate "anti hammock-kitty". If y'all think this is good, I'll run it by the app authors for a second round of input, and then attempt to make a 60x15 version. e: For the curious, here are the 90x90 thread icons cruft fucked around with this message at 18:30 on Jan 29, 2021 |

Hi, I just found this thread; a dark mode option is in the pipeline, so by all means come up with stuff for a BYOB@nite theme that can show up in BYOB with dark mode on. I'll be making a thread about the grey forums dark mode stylesheet-in-progress in the next couple of weeks and we can figure stuff out around then. Also, a custom probation avatar could absolutely exist for BYOB; it's already set up that way for C-SPAM. |
