[Bunny]

AO: I just finished most of the header designs for the "new" automags.org template. Please let me know if you guys like the design. After we get the "o.k" from you guys we will start the process to transfer the template from the dev site to AO. Please let me know what you guys think.

Placeholder.

[Hook]

What more to say other than this is simply beautiful! WOW!

[RehKal]

Love it, I take it the banners randomly load the page loads?

[sQuidvision]

fantastic! My only issue is that i didnt submit a picture of myself! :p

make it live!

[BigEvil]

They all look awesome! Kudos! :hail:

[splat15k]

My thoughts exactly.

[Bunny]

RehKal: Exactly. I'm using the same code that the old AO used to randomly load the header image.

sQuidvision: Hopefully after Tunaball I will have a lot more pictures to work with. I'll probably post another thread asking for submissions :D

[Flatliner333]

:clap: weeee...i love me some purple...thanks for showing the love for us new guys...:bounce:

[RT Lover]

very impressive! great work!

[Justus]

They look great, I love 'em!

[bbotts77]

Very cool. I wish I had some pics of me playing.

[cougar20th]

Looks good to me, Nice to see something new.

[BigEvil]

So when is all of this going to go live?

[Bunny]

bbotts77: Same here.... :D
AO: Glad to see that people like it! I'm surprised no one clicked on "hate it" .... yet... :nono:

[luke]

How difficult would it be to dedicate a header to the mag of the month winner, rotating the new winner in every month? Might be cool to see new stuff rotate in.
(??)

[Yudanja]

missed the poll at the top. I thought it was to choose the groups and I was thinking why cant we just use them all? oooooooh, I just needed to read the bleeping post.

:clap::clap::clap:

Looks good to me. Great work.

I've been toying around with this idea. Its hard to actually make the paintball marker look right with height of 72px. I could make the header larger, but I don't really feel like editing the CSS and templates again.

My other idea was to include a "MotM Winner" badge/rank instead.

How about one for each MotM category, with the month and date? Also MotY? One that never disappears.

[sQuidvision]

Lol... if we include the date there will be a few users who have so many badges we wont be able to read threads they post in without scrolling for hours! i would think a single MOTM badge that eventually gets replaced by a MOTY badge (if you win) would be the way to go!

[Dayspring]

The banner stuff is pretty easy - dump all the images into a folder and let the forum pick it up at random.

The small Mag of the Month badge thing would be a WHOLE lot harder. You have to set up a rank for each icon, have a different icon for every month/year combo and have a mod add it to the winner(s) every month.


Level of effort for Banner = easy
Level of effort for badge = lots

[Dayspring]

Missed one...

[BTAutoMag]

why is there even an option to hate it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS, you nailed the colors for me! I love blue and lime green:headbang:

[OPBN]

I like it. Unfortunately I must not be a good photo subject as I never end up with pics of myself playing.

[mpsd]

Fantastic! Feeling proud already! :D

[Bunny]

Dayspring: Lol, I'm still working on a few of yours :D I figured I can keep some banners hidden..... kinda... :D

sQuidvision: You are a little late to the party! :)

There are a few ways to approach this. You could either create a MOTM usergroup with that Badge Icon and add winners every month. OR, how about having the image of the winning markers appear somewhere in the banner with that badge? Either would be a cool little added bonus to winning. Plus I think it is a good idea to showcase our best looking markers to the people who are either new to mags or who are just browsing the site.

[Dark Side]

Very cool.

[Sk8ermog]

Correction to the name on this one:

https://dl.dropbox.com/u/6823946/AO/AO%20Headers/header48.jpg

This is really AO user: LoveMyMagMoreThanYou

The only photo of me was that indoor photo that I cut out and posted the PSD of. Wish this was me cause it looks so great.

[KurtPB]

just hit refresh and it changed. looks good!

[Bunny]

lol, you are quick :D

[KurtPB]

lol it threw me off as i've been surfing AO(it's around 2:30pm here i'm at currently), went to refresh and BAM! bright colors lol. looks good though, nice seeing the banner back.

[OPBN]

I like it. :clap:

[Carnage reigns]

Proceed

[billz804]

The header looks great, really livens up the site!

[BigEvil]

Great job!

[audioSLAVE]

Didn't even think twice about the switchover appearance, felt like I was home again, but with a polish. Nice job!

[Hook]

Loving it!! Great job!

[SoulCoffin]

this looks fabulous. i wish i had a pic of me playing with a mag, to submit! :(
