General Discussion

@maddog107 Ok I thought about it and looked at the page layout again. Keep the logos at the very top (the part on the right of the banner area), keep sizes as is, and update the FB & IG logos to Reverse White. For the logos on the very bottom make them slightly bigger, uncropped (they look kinda cropped to me) and in front of the logos have the following text in bold or strong (black style and maybe caps) font saying either "Connect With Us:" or "Follow Us:" That way it would differentiate from the social media share icons that are above the "Recently Browsing" bar

Is it necessary to have the logos at both the top and bottom of the page, if we had them above the ad then just one place is enough don't you think? We can add them at the very very bottom of the page like many sites do as well (below "Community Software by Invision Power Services, Inc.).

And ok I will see if I can add the text and see how it looks. Thanks 

^ Oh I thought you wanted it in both places b/c that was what you had in your sample. If I have to choose one I would choose the bottom

I just noticed a new thing happening with images. It appears as though our images are now being auto-spaced regardless if we actually wanted a space between each image.

I used to be about to fit 5 images side by side 200x200x200x200x200 in width, but now I can only fit 4 because of the auto-spacing 200x200x200x200 (800). Is this a new feature that's been added?

This

now looks like this after submit button is hit

I havent changed anything. You sure imgur isnt inserting something?

FB pages are no longer stand alones. It must to link to at least one personal account. Currently it is linked to Michael*, Kat's and Mine BZ FB account.

Yeah, @PinkCouture @katchitup @maddog107, it's apparently not possible to dedicate a standalone address to a Facebook fan page that you manage, and you can only enable cross-posting between Instagram and a Facebook fan page if your login details for both are an exact match. To get around that, I opened a 'dummy' personal FB account with the required matching info, and set it as an admin on the BZ page. The dummy account won't be visible to the public, though. It'll only ever exist as the extra link in the daisy chain that we needed to create in order to achieve sychronisation with Instagram.

I've looked at the coding and I can't see any spacing happening.

I used another image host and it's doing the same thing so it's not imgur.

Here's the raw coding.. No spaces.

When I hit Preview Post this is what it looks like: 5 pics per row, but with spacing that's just not in the coding

And when I hit submit this is what the finish post looks like

I dont have it, not sure who made it or when. I guess we would have to recreate it unfortunately or find the original logo competition thread. 

I'd imagine donbot would have the original file as I'm pretty sure he designed the logo. I can't remember when that was exactly but it must have been a while ago, it's been about a year and a half since we last saw him.

^ It is ok. I will create a new one, Thanks!

So we don't need to be add to anything new, correct?

Correct.

I'll leave the login details for the new FB admin account here in case anyone wants or needs to sign into it, but as far as I know, the page doesn't need anything else.

When you get the chance, would you mind shooting me a copy too? The Facebook page could really use a new profile pic.

Of course!  

lostdiadem would like to start a personal thread for peroxideblonde. Here's the personal thread guidelines:

Thoughts on granting peroxideblonde a thread?  

@maddog107: Found a version of the original logo and slightly modified it. Simple and versatile. Which one do you prefer?

I kinda like the cursive one better, are we changing the logo everywhere? 

^ The reason I did not go with cursive b/c it might not be legible & distinguishable across all sizes and media. With cursive when it is smaller (ex. the browser tab) you can't tell what it is---it would look like a blob with with random spots.  I will work on a cursive one soon for comparison. 

The reason why I recreated the logo is so we have an actual logo file that's scaleable for the logo competition and social media. We probably should update the logo everywhere but that is up to you  

What do you guy

Makes sense, what do you guys think of trying the "design competition" or what not?
