Title: Christmas decorations soon
Post by: Petrie. on November 29, 2009, 08:32:42 PM
I usually have a set of images for our GOF christmas images, but this year I figured I'd open it up to see if any of you had anything in particular you'd think would work for the GOF.  If I like it, I'll add it into the forum in some way.

Share away. :)

Hrm...well I don't want to ask too much for ya to do because I understand you would be busy with other things for the holidays. :) So...maybe there's clipart out there with the LBT characters Christmas themed?

Maybe you could even put snow on our board, I've seen it done before, like here: http://www.mylionking.com/forum/index.php (http://www.mylionking.com/forum/index.php)

Those are just suggestions though. ^^

The snow the snow.....never ever will I do that.  Had it at another forum I was a frequent visitor of.  Owner liked it, I didn't, but he was boss.  Its very distracting in my opinion.  Additionally, I don't believe we're given that sort of freedom with invision to put java tricks like that on our boards.

Haven't seen any LBT christmas stuff (save for the stuff I've tried on my own).  That would be a little weird you know. :p  I'll keep my eyes out.  If anyone knows of any that's decent I'd add it.

I just made this:

http://lbtserver.2myip.net/Public/Images/p...shop/lights.png (http://lbtserver.2myip.net/Public/Images/photoshop/lights.png)

Don't feel bad about rejecting it.  It literally took me 5 minutes to make.  I can make it smaller too (I'd recommend it being about 35px high).  Other than that, I don't see anything else we can do because of the already ENORMOUS size of the banner and affiliate links.

Oh, and if you do choose to use this, please do NOT link to it from my server.  I can't afford the bandwidth.  The only reason I used it from my server is because of the images 2000px width.

I can do photoshop but I have yet to try winter themes.

Saved it, Austin.  I'll see what I can do. :)  They might work out.

This community is a very sweet one unlike many. Right now I'm not really into winter themes more on fire.

I've pretty much put up what I wanted to.  The lights Austin gave didn't work out.

And don't fear, I just moved the affiliates to the footer of the board because there was no way I could decorate the top and keep them right there.  After the holiday they'll go back to their normal spot.

Nice, I like it.  Although personally I would have used a screenshot from LBT VIII, a snowy scene would work better

It's good, though it reminds me of the old times when we had our old theme, buttons and banner.  That's okay though.  It's good to remember the good old times.

Yay! Garlands of Flora on the Gang of Five!

(I've obviously been at the Freefall forum too long; they're obsessed with puns over there.)
