Patreon and Q23 switching away from vBulletin

arrendek · 2017-07-24T17:04:27.488Z

Clearly what we need is customizeable flair!

Can we just skip the avatar flair entirely?

People can get a forum discussion anywhere, okay? They come to Tom’s for the atmosphere and the attitude. Okay? That’s what the flair’s about. It’s about fun.

You do want to express yourself, don’t you?

KevinC · 2017-07-24T17:29:10.536Z

I know it wasn’t on @wumpus’ poll, but I think the choice of flair should be obvious.

So… more than zero pieces of flair?

I’m not wumpus, I heart Qualcomm!

Ephraim:

it was a specific vote for Armando.

One step closer to God Emperor of the Penbladian Utopia! Huzzah!

wumpus:

It is possible to push it below the avatar on the left with some CSS and no real loss of space, if that’s more desirable

That’s so much better.

If you’re going to be silly with the Patreon logo, then add another line, move the circle up a bit, and then you have a TIE fighter.

Zylon · 2017-07-24T18:45:52.152Z

That’s ridiculous. Who’d want a TIE fighter in their avatar?

…ahem…

Monday-induced brain fart on my part, sorry about that!

Papageno · 2017-07-24T20:53:38.090Z

Hmm, let’s see how it looks with mine.
EDIT: Kinda crappy tbh. I vote for below the avatar.

BrianRubin · 2017-07-24T21:01:41.073Z

I’ve never been more pleased that my Patreon email is different from my forum email…

instant0 · 2017-07-24T21:03:38.787Z

I hate the new pateron logo… but that said, for a gaming site, it looks like it is someone playing PING PONG, and that I can stand behind.

arrendek · 2017-07-24T21:21:09.111Z

Had to try something out…

Hey, my Drank tea angrily subtext is gone. :( It describes me so well, too!

Brian’s special text is also gone I notice.

stusser · 2017-07-24T21:24:48.465Z

That’s bizarre, because Brubin isn’t linked to Patreon!

PM me your titles with the exact spelling and whatnot and I’ll restore them for you.

(This offer is limited to people that already had titles and somehow lost them.)

Oh poops, I miss my spaceshipsspaceshipsspaceships!

RichVR · 2017-07-24T21:57:03.568Z

Well… while you’re replacing them. :)

I took the titles out on purpose. I’ll explain what we’re doing later.

Ahh OK! Assumed the missing ones were a bug with the patreon implementation.
