I don't know if anyone has noticed, so let me point it out for you. Scroll up a bit and look at those buttons marked "home","New topics", ect....
Those are new. I changed them. I'm in an ongoing campaign to make the site look a little better. More unique. I also changed the "D" and "F"'s at the bottom of the main page where it shows who's online and whatnot. Also the topic popularity icons are no longer folders, they are now either bronze, silver, or gold stars (depending on the popularity) with a little red swirl behind them. And I'm sure you noticed the new logos (you should submit one for Thanksgiving).
That's everything I've done so far. I'm looking to change some other icons too. But I come here today to ask for your help. Mainly with this; If you see something that looks kinda "meh" or "like shit" on the site, let me know what it is and I'll see what I can do. Also if you have suggestions for something, again just let me know.
This is a community site, and hopefully with your help, we can make it look better.
Thank you. Enjoy the new graphics.

I don't have any suggestions for now, but I'd like to offer some of my help if you guys need it as well for anything for graphics. I really am liking the changes the site is going through, and the buttons gives it a nice touch from the plain ones.
Eh... anyway. You've seen some of my work--which I believe has been improving if only slightly compared to when I began messing around with it--and you can judge if I have the potential or not. (I made my own avatar right about now and it just took a few seconds, that's something to judge from.)
But yeah. Just offering, feel free to decline.

Mainly right now I need suggestions. At the moment there isn't much work except for some icons. And when working with those you have VERY limited space. I'm talking 15x15 pixels. It's not easy. You wouldn't believe the trouble it took to get right. The only thing that I can think of that might need work is the actual background. But I don't know if I even wanna touch that, it's been there forever.

Oh yeah, I know. Making the buttons for my own is quite the hassle and since it's so small, I got lazy and they don't look... uh... yeah.
With Gimp, however, I might have found a way to make everything, even the font size itself, look neat even when that small. Thank you scale tool. So that's why I offered. It's pretty easy to have your way around Gimp.

Gimp sucks. A LOT. I can't use it. I have Photoshop CS3. The buttons weren't hard, but those icons were pretty bad. Too bad I'll probably be working in that size for a while.

Hooray for the piece of paper being gone. The replacement could probably use work, but that damn piece of paper is done for!

The yellow looked a little faded on some yellow backgrounds, can we add like a black fade in from center to the normalized sprite?

I was a little confused at this suggestion also, could you delve a little further into what you have in mind and we'd surely take it into consideration.

There is not gonna be any fading on anything that small. I'm working by the pixel on those. Most I could do is add a border to the whole thing, kinda like how I do the smileys. ;D See, they have a black border, followed by a white border. That is so the don't blend into the colors we have chosen for this site.

Why thank you. Do you have any suggestions for more smileys? We want as many unique ones as we can get.
