Been thinking about these a bit lately.
Quite a lot of people here have several sigs and they are quite bulky, I thought that maybe we could have a comp winners page on the new front-end when I upgrade the site and display the sigs there somehow?
In the forum posts, each of them could be replaced by a small trophy (we could have bronze, silver and gold or something) with an embedded link to take inquisitive people to the winning entry?
Or shall we just keep them as they are?

a 32x32pixel icon or a small trophy with embedded link sounds good
-
Yep, good idea!

That is good :inspired:! :)
-
I also like the small trophies idea :)
Maybe also with a title logo with the actual sig winner logo ?
I mean ... you have the logo (the picture that you have actully in your signatures) and then the link to the competition.
All this in a bubble info thing
-
Great idea Shocky your sig alone fills the best part of half my screen. But the link is just an awesome touch.
-
Really great idea! I am for it ! *thumbs up*
-
Well in fairness, some people here (Hellfire&Xalthorn) already have links in their sigs to the comp entries so I got the idea from them.

Not sure what you mean here mate?
-
Oops.
I will retry.
You got the trophees. When you are hovering them with the mouse, you got a little info bubble displaying (it's CSS 3 as far as I know) and inside this bubble you have this->

The beautiful link to the beautiful prod (http://www.pouet.net)

I see :)
I'm not sure that the forum will let us do that, but I will try!
-
Mouseover always cause lag on my system, internet explorer often locks up for a few seconds.
-
What about alt text? That shouldn't slow things down too much?
I like the idea of a trophy display.
-
Good ideas! I like the trophy list, and alt text to display what comp it was for would be a nice and simple solution.
-
I agree with alternative text ... but wanted also to keep these beautiful signature assets. I mean someone draw these ... so it would be cool to use it :)
But ... it's really simpler with just some alt text ;)
-
I just tried something out for the tophy graphics if you like and want use it. If you want, i can try to change the color of the cube to gold, silver, bronze too. Here are my first results/idea: (256x256 128x128 64x64 48x48 32x32)

Okay, here is a modified version where i changed the color of the cube, which is probaly a lot better.

I think gold should be more yellow and silver should be brighter. apart from colour the 64x64 size seems the most reasonable size to me.
-
I like it (just follow what rain_storm said and all should be fine :D)
-
I like the idea of the glenze cubes, could I suggest a couple of tweaks?
If you make them solid filled, lose the "gold" "silver" "bronze" text and have them resting on a base like a grammy or an oscar!
I'm thinking that they should be a maximum of 48*48 pixels.
The banner sigs will be preserved in the new front end in the Hall of fame. (this is the plan anyway)
-
Nice you like the idea. Sure you can suggest a couple of tweaks ;)
Here are very fast done concept previews, so please dont blame about the quality of the bases... I draw it in a real hurry just as concept preview. What versions do you guys like more? Btw, i will change the gold and silver color as some people requested very soon! ;)
Please remember and keep in mind, that the final images may be only 48x48 ;)

I have to say ... I'd like to see something more demoscenish :D under the cube. So actually, I have don't have any preferences ... and no idea to replace the bottom ...
-
Ok, here are the little trophies I've come up with to replace the big huge sigs..
I see them as appearing in a neat line in the sig bar of the people who have them.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone have any objections before I start replacing thier sigs?
-
Lovely dbf trophy's, no objections here!
You could try to add a little highlight/flare to one of the corners, but they're really cool as they are now. Well done!
:clap:
-
Awesome idea (totally missed that topic tbh - shame on me).
GFX trophies are looking good!
-
go on dude!... you're doing it right! ;)
-
Nice... can you add more brilliance on it ? :D
Otherwise, perfect idea :)
-
yeah totally fine with that shockwave, they look cool.
-
I like the dithering - go for it!
-
I've done some better ones :)
I'm going to be updating everyone's sig today starting now!
-
That's the right sort of gear!
-
They certainly save a lot of scrolling down! There's loads of room for dozens and dozens more comps now ;D
I've linked all the trophies into the challenge entries that won them too.
The old sigs will be used in the new front page :)
-
Very cool trophies! Are you going to add "title" tags to see what comp they were for on hovering?
-
Nice :)
and +1 for the Kirl's suggestion :) (I was already trying to hover it to know what you have won :D )
-
Wow! How things change!
I like the gears.. I don't like that I haven't won any..
-

Unless this is something that can be done in BBCode I think it's impossible sorry.
To be honest with you the gfx sigs were mostly crap because I did not have enough time to draw them but if you want to see what they are for, just click them, they go straight into the topic!

You better enter the next one when it comes along and see what happens.. Nothing is guaranteed though, these trophies are hard earned! :)

Wrapping [ abbr = "pop-up txt"] or [ acronym ] tags around the img or url tags seems to work but there's also an unintended little line that appears beneath the img, see my left trophy.
-
Thanks,
I've fixed the CSS so that you can use acronym tags to have pop-up titles for your sigs.
I would ask that everyone edits thier own sigs though as there are a lot of them!
-
If anyone wants to have pop ups on thier trophies, you need to edit your profile sig and use the acronym tag.
Here's an example.
[acronym="Scroll Comp"][url=http://dbfinteractive.com/forum/index.php?topic=1391.0][img]http://www.dbfinteractive.com/trophies/dbf1st.png[/img][/url][/acronym]

Some of the sigs (CK0, Yaloopy) link to the wrong posts. Mine work fine tho thanks Shocky

Thanks, that's been fixed :)
Loopy's one was correct, it's a collaberation between him and Slinks.
-
New sigs are looking cool and way cleaner. Fits to the new theme, too! :clap:
-
Yeah, it's going to be really nice to have a totally clean look from the front page to the forum.
I just realised that the front page has been re-written 4 times so far! This will be the fifth re-write so it's about time I got it right. :carrot:
