Smilies & Forum Graphics

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Hi. I'm Buster's Uncle; you might remember me from such smash hits as and the two attached, which Poly needs. - Also many, many miscellaneous, like the above.


-Lamentably, there's some bull going on with uploads working, and I can't img-link w/o unchecking "Retrieve remote file and reference locally". I've Skyped Solver a heads-up that an uploads folder looks to need creating in the right place on the server. The attachments are old from my album, to which I can't add.

Hey Ming: I came in here to have a little fun and flood with my work, possibly taking requests and advocating for installing a few, but do this, willya? -The vB smilie interface is in the admin panel -I did the heck out of that for the pandas ten years ago- power me up, and I'll behave myself like last time -hammer bots myself instead of flooding your inbox w/ Reports- and take care of anything smilies-wise you permit. My paygrade is higher at graphics/forum display issues than other things, and I might could pitch in a little there, maybe fixing that uploads problem if it can be done from straight admin functions we don't need waiting on Solver for...

So, I don't suppose there's any point in keeping it a secret that I've been empowered for some strictly janitor work as I see need -bots, linkspam, mostly- and I'm still poking around finding the new buttons and so on.

I'd have installed :wiglaf: and :hypocrite: two hours ago if I'd found the smiley interface and I owned the place, but I wouldn't want to abuse the trust placed in me - so, what fun, we need member support. The virtues of and need for the two I'm pointing out are pretty straightforward, but don't let that stop you from posting to belabor it. One imagines that Your Support Counts towards me getting permission to DO anything.

Any smiley ideas? Thoughts on organization of Poly's menu? Anything you'd like to steal somewhere and have installed here? (Is MZO on the Wayback Machine?)

Make your case.

Yes; banana indeed. I've done MORE alters on that one...

Added something as a test. Permissions are only partly untangled ATM, and there's a writing to server problem with some stuff...

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Solver has fixed something. <- These were attached.


Anyone have an opinion about smiley codes? Those would be ; butt and ; dog for example. No shift needed typing and no proper words begin with a semi. Make sense?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Okay - I found I can create a smiley category, and I'm gonna burn an hour or so dumping a lot of my crap in there, also as a test easily undone by dumping the whole section.

On a more serious note, I wonder how hard it would be to find where the Christmas smilies are on the server and fix THAT section up...

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

self - note the Lebowski hovertext reference on the hippy. Enjoy.

Hey the Hippie dancing 'round the tree aka hippybull is glorious.

Who is this one supposed to be?

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

That's Jon Miller, of course. The other is because he used to double-post constantly over an apparent tech glitch...

[Dinner]

Ahh, ok, then the double post thing makes sense. The pig, not so much. Who are you insulting with that one? The Ming and Wiggy ones are in light humor and so good but personally insulting ones should be avoided. "Let's not speak his name" certainly implies you are trying to insult someone.

[Buster Crabbe's Uncle]

Jon Miller, of course.
