A change to your webpages

I’m sure we have it somewhere but I’m looking for high resolution images of all the maps and all the box covers for all the games. Yes, including Zombies.

I could take my own photos but I’m lazy. 🤣

Thanks for calling that out, I missed it. Most of the changes I mentioned are for www side of the site, which helps funnel new people into the forums.

Thanks for the suggestions!

@djensen All of them seem interesting, as long as you get AI summaries to work properly, Apple sort of made that feature look bad. Here are some ideas to consider:

I’ll be using something more like ChatGPT.

Dynamic Forum Icons: Many Icons on the forums are just speech bubbles, which takes away some of the identity of the games. Instead, you could have each icon sort of represent the games. (North Africa could have a silhouette of Libya and Egypt, Anniversary could have a 25th or 40th, etc.)

I can work on that. I’m not a graphic designer so it’s a little more difficult for me to get it just right. GenAI is okay at monochromatic vector art but not quite there yet.

“Pinned” Categories: What I mean by this is that users can right-click categories and “pin” them to the top of the forum page. The reason why the pinning is air quoted is because it would only show up on that users end (If I “pinned” a category, only I could see it).

That sounds like a functionality request for NodeBB. It would be fairly core so I’m not sure I can write a plugin to do this.

Themes: While it could just be light and dark mode, I think it would be cool to have ones based off of Axis and Allies games. For example, 1984 Classic would have almost like that 80s paint style, 1914 could have the gradient of the map over a tan background and have trenches and gas masks at the bottom. This is just another thing that would add flavor.

Themes can be difficult to maintain. I’m actually considering moving to the new default “look and feel” of NodeBB soon. I’ll have to re-theme that with the colors I would prefer so I’ll take a look at making multiple themes.

I hope you consider these additions!

The answer of @djensen implies that the issue could be resolved by switching to a newer forum theme, what might lead to other problems.

In the meantime you can always access every chat by klicking “Continue chat with” from your chat partner’s profile page.

@barnee Thanks, it worked

I upload a new one and it reverts back to the old one. I delete it and upload a new one and it reverts to the old one…

You know Angelina Jolie had a flying submarine in Sky Captain.

Keep him a sub just let his post count keep climbing. It is the post count you look at to see if someone is a regular poster (to my way of thought) not the “rank.”
