Aww thanks so much Merry, that's so sweet of you!
I'd love to have custom piggy images but my only reservation is that I like the images to relate to what they are - so the home one having some kind of a house on as well as a pig, and the search one incorporating a magnifying glass. Just so you can tell what they are from the pictures alone - otherwise it's not as easy to tell what things are without reading the text.
Does anyone else agree with that or am I a lone voice in the wilderness?
Thanks again though Merry - I hope I don't sound ungrateful as I think they're great and I'd love to have something like that on the board!

I bet maybe Merry might be able to adapt her little critters with items that represent the various areas ... Merry?

I'm not very creative with that kind of thing... I draw the pigs, usually it's someone else who sets them up in cute little scenes  Maybe aL could have a mess around with them? |

It'd be good having a tiny house with a piggy with it's front paws on the roof for the home one.
I can visualise a piggy holding a magnifying glass up to it's eye so one eye is huge and it makes me giggle....simple things please simple minds eh lol.
The members one could be two pigs snuggled up.
Calendar like the one already there but with a piggy peeping over it like one of those chad things (is that what they're called Treen?)
Admin - a pig holding a key or a padlock.
Profile - perhaps a pig pointing to itself.
Notification could be a pig posting a letter or something?
Logout could be a pig waving goodbye.
That's my thoughts anyways and I have to say if it were to happen and they were as good as the ones Merry has already done then they'd be fab.

hut hum! They slowed down our comps for some reason so we couldn't use them, and you didn't ask before you put them up either  ;D they're very pretty though  Edit: you're hotlinking smilies from the cc  |

hehe I could have a go, but Mezzmoo really is better! Some of those might be a little hard to do considering the size of the graphics, but I will try my best! Actually, this one is far from my best, but I just wanted to do trial and see what would happen. Merry, are you happy for me to fiddle with the pigs themselves to suit the things they are representing? And would you like to look over them and have a further mess around with it so it looks ok? anyways, here is my 5 second go on the home one as I've got to go to work soon...I don't know how well you can make out the house and if it is too big etc...it's just a trial job, nothing permanent hehe it will get better as I fiddle around with it more.  |

Thanks, Skip! hehe! Well, I was board after work and I whipped up these. I don't know if you'll like the style of them...as they're a little different to the ones Merry and I made for the top line thingo's. Anyways, I thought about having like little piggie paws instead of stars for the admin, mod and member pics...tell me if you think they are stupid heh just thought I'd put the idea across of changing them. Merry might think of a cuter idea though I thought gold should be Admin,  , Red  or blue  for mod, and the colour we don't use for the one inbetween (if there is one) and and boring move for the boring members!  tee hee! And also these little things for the main board (I can make them smaller if you'd like to use them)   (I hope her owner recognises her - she's not as orange as I'd hoped!) to show if there are new messages in that particular board or not. You don't have to use them, I was just doodling. |

I really like the new pictures of the pigger in the house etc. They look really good! Would they be easy to use then or would it be a nightmare to change it all and would it slow things down loads?
They do look great though and I like the piggy paws aswell.

Wow! Those are superb aL - thank you so much! I really like the ones with the little house and stuff - they're brilliant! The paws are a really cute idea, but I do like being able to tell what things are from the pictures.
The only one that isn't as clear as the others to me is the logout button - because the pig is so small, the paw wave isn't that clear. Perhaps a pig disappearing behind a darkened doorway would work well?
I really like the new posts/ no new posts pig graphics too - that's a great idea and I think I might just recognise the pigger in question!
Let's see what Jackie thinks, and if we're all agreed, we can get the super new custom graphics up!
It's easy to switch them, Lisa. I don't think they're that much bigger than the original graphics used (and if they are we're talking 2kb instead of 1kb) but I can see if any need compressing before I switch them. Plus as long as the host you store them at is speedy, loading them when you first log on to the forums shouldn't noticably slow things down, even if they are a little bigger.
Thank you aL!

Hurrah, hope Jackie agrees, they look fab and I think the darkened doorway one for the logout sounds great.

Just thought... what about the graphics when you're not logged in like 'login', 'search' and such? Just wondered if they were to stay the same?

Maybe aL could have a mess around with them?
;D
