they are 60px w x15px h. I was studying on them a while back and they are mostly pretty small. I think the biggest I found was like 7KB and most are 3-4KB

Woah that is amazing! The upload is done via the admin panel, so there is no fixed file size, just the fact that we don't want everyone to load 20mb of tags with every reload, so yeah that one is perfect!

a double-byob tag for threads that are more byob than the byob tag

also, the link one that already exists

Which link one do you mean? Just so I can start composing a list of tags we want to get, ones we want to get uploaded and those we want to have removed

hello friend


there was one called "link" and had a picture of the cd-i style link, from nintendos hit videogame franchise "the legend of zelda"

e:it's the top one of the last image in anime world, just below "taint" and above "ultra violence"

My first thoughts is like the same sort of aesthetic as Chewbecca's avatar, an mspaint style rainbow with jail bars on it and a leprechaun (or a Khanstant goblin) holding the bars, and some blingee style sparkles or something. Text below to read "must chill for 4 hours or similar."

We have most of the good thread tags already but Baps is a good one that should replace a gray one.

It's gone from byob. If anyone who knows how to computer could remove those last two frames, we can also do all of SA a favor and just overwrite the current one with a fixed one


super sweet best pal

Think we could also get a custom Stupid Newbie avatar to go along with the custom Probation avatar?

Goons Are Gifts

Woah, that'd be so cool!
I do think that newbie avatars are basically just replacement avs set to your account during registration and thus not affected by stylesheet at all, so I highly assume that is impossible, but it would be so cool that I need to figure that out

Home Depot used to have buttons that said like “ask me, I’m new!” or maybe a poster in training av

We need a trashed crew tag. Lemme play with Adobe at work.

How about a "vent" tag? I know I'd use it.


Sig by Heather Papps

Amazing, thank you! I'll get that up right away and byob will have, once again, fixed all of SA

For everyone else, keep it coming! If you like something, feel free to emptyquote or add something to is, I'd for now save everything submitted and make a list later on to review what we want to do before we do it. So anything goes!!

this is a pretty big ask but it would be super cool to have a dark mode for byob...i have a dark mode extension that does it but it's really ugly. maybe we can put a sun in the top right corner and it turns into a moon when you click it

i'm super down to try and put this together but i'd love to hear from people as to what a byob dark mode should look like!

What a great idea.

Here's a static hammock kitty, as a kitty would be when asleep, that I made for my (still pending review, holy crap) BYOB chrome extension:



Here's that same kitty with the brightness dialled down, as though perhaps under the moonlight:



Overlay this on a starfield and it'd look pretty good IMHO. I can whip together a mockup if you'd like.

So in theory this should be possible as byob already is under a stylesheet and in FYAD it is possible to switch between stylesheets via a drop down menu, too. I do not know however, if this is some hard coded thing for fyad and implementing it for byob might then be a very big task, but I dunno, maybe it could work! A lot on these forums is some originally temporary hard coded mess, so this might also be the case here

I have some good news for you! The notion of "user prefers dark mode" is supported in like 95% 89% of all browsers by market share.

https://caniuse.com/prefers-color-scheme

GaG, tell me what I should do to start hacking together a preview of a dark mode style sheet. I have no idea how to integrate it with SA's hacked-to-hell vBulletin, but I do know that the HTML generated should make it pretty straightforward.

To be clear, I just want to know what the best way is to demonstrate a modified style sheet. I don't need admin access or anything.

Ironically, the easiest thing I can think of is a Chrome extension.

Goons Are Gifts

I honestly have no idea how stylesheets work at all, I assume you can just try to work with a general forum setup and paint stuff over it to demonstrate the idea. I'm relaying everything you guys ask here to astral, too, so I probably can give you some details afterwards! If it's anywhere possible, that is


Goons Are Gifts

Oh look at that, imp zone just asked this question, too, and apparently it currently is not possible to add selectable stylesheets as it's exactly that kind of hardcoded mess I was afraid it might be. Here's the tech thread about it: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3956547&pagenumber=1&perpage=40

Yeah, but the good news is that "dark mode" is now something the browser can figure out on its own.

Like it can be all "if this is getting printed, use this font. if it's on a cell phone, make this thing narrower. if the user told the OS to use dark mode, use this cat image instead".

I'm workin' on it. The lame part is I won't be able to test it very easily, since I don't run Windows or MacOS.

Goons Are Gifts

Ah right, well if there are any changes to the regular byob stylesheet you might need to optimize a third party dark mode mod, we can do that without a problem! As long as we don't make it dark mode only, that is. I'm in general open to any stylesheet changes you guys come up with

I wonder if we can do some text in the center of this area

It's got some problems but it's a start.

https://jsfiddle.net/o8b426gs/4/

If you've already told Windows or MacOS to use dark mode, this will look exactly the same!. I can't get ChromeOS to go into dark mode, so I said to only make it look dark if I'm in light mode. That way, I can see it.

GaG could you ask your magic forums wizards whether it would be possible to serve up a JavaScript file? That'd open up a whole world of drop-down user-selectable stylesheets, add banners back to BYOB, and even allow stupid poo poo like "threads with 'spooky' in the title anonymize authors " without having to modify any server code or publish an extension.

Jett's big ol' script, which I was planning to port into a Chrome extension, had some really nice banners, like this:



and this:



But we could just drop those into the top for everybody if we can serve up a JavaScript file.

one day we will have webm avatars and can implement mp4/webm banners. A neat artistic "Welcome to the island of chill and magic" or something along those lines would be a neat project. If we come up with some text I can create some images as well if needed.
