Ah yes, you're right, that's a far better idea. :)

suggested by brian and jaonso: option to turn off wysiwyg editor

Edited by Ensellitis - 17 August 2006 at 2:26pm

agreed.


Maybe (big maybe) a pattern feature, that tiles your pixel arts automatically.

Such would be good for David Stoner's work and my recent War pixel and some stuff in the works. For now I have a link to the "full" version so it's not THAT much of a problem, not to mention most of the pixel art around seems to be everything but patterns. But still it's a nice option, like the WSIGNYAGFB(?) editor to be turned off.

Tile idea is something I actually did in V1 right before we went to V2 and left it off because there were not a lot of tiles coming into the gallery. 

so i was thinking how it might be a good idea to have the main site menu over the forum as well, to sort of incorporate the two.

there is one thing in the works right now that will combine both...  so standfast

I don't know if it's been mentioned yet (or if I'm just oblivious) but it'd be nice to be able to edit comments on news posts, artwork, etc. So many times I've noticed typos, stupidity, or whatever just after submitting and at that point it's all locked in for permanant...

I would be good if you had a 5 minute limit for editing, just so people can correct mistakes. Otherwise it could get complicated, perhaps even having 'edited by X at XX:XX XX/XX/XXXX' on it, which just wouldn't work on such small areas for commenting.

i think preview post is the best way to go

Or, I dunno how doable it is, but maybe a spell checker?

Another suggestion would be to have a daily trace of what happened on the IRC channel (in fact something liek the chatterbox). Some members (like myself) are behind a corporate firewall that denies IRC ports and proxies.[quote]

while this may seem like a good idea, it would have to be on a seperate page and not easily viewable.  our conversations can get very animated...  ltonight for example...  we talked about womens rights, gender roles, morals in media, which all somehoe led to the facts and fictions of anal intercourse and proper lubrication...  XD  it has been worse at times as well, plus, the official bot (Pikachu) has uno, and that itself can add up to several hundred messages.  a good idea to consider though...  maybe i can get the bot to log conversations and ftp them to the server, and have some kind of script format it...

Another submission stats idea: COLLABORATING ARTISTS It'll be brilliant for linearts, general collabs, bases etc..

Fix the pixelation link under 'community'.
Right now it says "Forum (Pixelopolis)"

not sure if this is a valid idea. but id love to see a new layout. instead of just rectangles and stuff. have an amazing layout. that challenges stuff like stovens layout. somethign really interesting that when pixel artists visit the page. they think, wow, i want to be part of this.

A suggestion for the forum: something that's been bugging me for some time is that when you click on the link button, it asks you what text you want for the link before asking you for the actual adress.
I go to many forums and they all ask for the link first, so it's quite annoying when I have to edit all my posts after finding out that the pages I gave are wrong.

edit: I also think that the hot topic system should be changed ^.^ pretty much all topics with 2+ posts are hot topics on pj..

How about a award ceremony at the end of every year? Like the Grammies.

• Artist of the Year
• Best Piece of the Year
• Best lil' Dude of the Year
• Best Room for the Joint
• Best newbie of the year
• ect.
• ect.

i will answer some of these...

Maybe best "Newcomer of the year"   Like im new to Pixeljoint and started in 2007 xD

If these have been said, then just ignore them.

There was talk of customization, but i'm not sure of exactly what. I think the themes should still be in order, but have a full customizable profile. Such as the background, the colors, how stuff is organized. Maybe an option to add banner at the top of it. Things like that. Also, have things like: Profile comments, 88x31 banner instead of text for website link, last visitors, forum posts, custom fields(or a list of extra fields you can add).

Like i said before, if the forum was melded into the site, it would be great.

There should be an option to submit your art to deviantArt(if they permit it of course) Most likely a bad idea, but i'm just throwing it out there.



But, I love the way PJ is right now.

ooo ooo, and upload mutliple files(if people have a bunch of animations, and don't want to put them all into one file.) Also, if you have like an avatar collection for aim, and people can set any of them.
