	Here's a suggestion: how about a special gallery that just has line art submitted by members?

	*Originally posted by Blueberry_pie* *Originally posted by Helix* It's already like that for me, is it like that for you then? Posted: 05 November 2005 at 3:45pm \| IP Logged That is what it says for your post above mine I think Snader was talking about the main PixelJoint site, not the forum... and I agree with him. Sometimes it's kinda confusing. correctemundo! and, seeing as it's allready implemented in the forum, it wouldnt be that hard to fix it up in the gallery ..right?

	Forum software I don't have time to invest in changing the forum software to something else, but it seems like dev on the Web Wiz software is starting again. Hopefully it will fix a lot of the cheesy features in this version. Date display on the PJ gallery I'll look into how much effort it will take to make the date format flexible. Cropping in Firefox Can you guys send me a screenshot of what is happening? Zooming in Firefox I've been thinking about making a special popup page just for pixel art that handles different bg color (to see how transparent things look), tiling (maybe iso tiling too) and zoom functions (partial and full). Having a popup page with just the pixel art and the tools would also eliminate trying to keep the rest of the site design intact when zooming. Lineart I will add a flag for lineart in the gallery just like the current transparent, animated, isometric flags. That way it's easy to search for lineart.

	*Originally posted by Brian the Great* Here's a suggestion: how about a special gallery that just has line art submitted by members? i was gonna suggest that but i just read your post. PB made a thread for people to post only lineart cos the line art swap topic got crowded. I think there should be a sub gallery of linearts just for public use, and people could also submit palletes and other resources.

	*Originally posted by sedgemonkey* I think you definitely have a point with the zoom getting pushed around with the zoom function. I just can't get the zoom thing above the pic to look good. It looks like the art is wearing a hat. Any suggestions? Use some CSS... Padding-bottom: 15px That should do it...

	I have a complaint! Why I have to always scroll down to get to the next/previous page of topic? WHY? Usually i just click on the thread headline what throws me on to the last post, but I want to see first post or maybe something in the middle. I am tired of all theat scrolling. Make the pageturner at the top of the page aswell.

	Sedge, Don't remember if I mentioned this already, but have you considered using some CMS software out there in the Open Source areas? Postnuke would be such a beautiful compliment to this site's content that it isn't funny. Adjusting themes and such would be a snap, and adding in user capabilities would be alot easier too... Just a thought...

	Maybe we can have a feature that automatically counts the number of colors (plus transparency) when someone uploads an image? It would be useful for those large pieces.

	Version history management (I don't know, if this has been suggested before, didn't find it yet, so here I go :) As you know, some of us feel that their pieces (or at least certain of them) are never like "finished". After I posted my first (and yet only) pixel art here, I was already thinking about improving and extending it. I thought: I'm gonna upload an updated version to the same submission, expanding the comment something like "look, I did my proposed changements, added some stuff..." but then you could'nt see the first version anymore. What a pity. Wouldn't it be nice, if one gallery entry itself already contained some kind of version history that you can click through? Hope you get the point

	@ Larwick: Assembling the versions yourself in one pic before uploading is an idea I didn't think about... I think it may work well in some cases (small pictures), but not so well on bigger ones. Moreover, I sometimes like to look at a piece only by itself, without other stuff around it interfering the enjoyment, that way you can have a clearer impression (know, what I mean?). Besides, with a version history you could also post WIP/steps (for example to show, that you did something nice from scratch). Of course, on the other hand, there have to be made sensible restrictions to prevent the system from being be abused and having tons of crap posted. Edited by Imagician

	@Imagician: Version history would be very cool, but we'd have to put something in place so people don't abuse it. I've been thinking a lot lately about an "updated" gallery view where people can take a look at pieces that have been recently updated. Again, we'd have to build some tools to prevent people from abusing this. It's sad that we can't just build what we want -- everything has to built with a-holes in mind. @MarioH2O: I used to have a palette counter for GIFs (maybe the code is still lying around somewhere), but it just returns the maximum amount specified so if you had a 32 color palette specified and only 5 colors were actually in the piece it would still show 32 colors. If you know of a component that count colors acurately let me know. @randomblink: If you've got something specific in mind for CMS let me know. Are you referring to the forum or the gallery or both? @inkspot: Adding the prev/next to the top of the page should be in the next version of the forum (currently working on it).

	Again, we'd have to build some tools to prevent people from abusing this. They are called moderators. I think that history would be a really neat feature to have on the gallery. Randomblink is also a master in postnuke, but u can't have him yet - he's mine . Postnuke has some pretty powerful tools but sedge could probably code it himself - no need to confuse things :D

	What happens to Lawrence happens to me all the time? I often miss comments directed at me, and only discover when I view the art anew. I now go to my comments tab every so often to view any comments posted after mine The art history idea does not appeal to me. Move on, take what you've learned and make new pieces, I say. If I didn't care for it at first, nothing can be updated that would change my mind over the piece. If I loved it already, I would hate any changes :/

	Just an idea- make it so the forum displays ranks just like the gallery does, as in like, I have "Psycho" selected as my rank theme, but on the forum everyone has the navy theme. Nothing major, but something I've always darkly brooded over.

	in the forum, your rank goes up to only 3 based on your postcount. On the main site, your rank can go up to 11 based on your activity there. The two are separate

	I find the ability to rate my own work rather useful. It helps to see what I thought of one of my pieces in a simple metric. Of course it should not contribute to the points of the piece -- and I appreciate the ability to fave my own stuff for similar reasons, so excluding self-faves from the fav count of a picture would also be useful.

	For the suggestion box: The Joint is pretty old, and it seems kind of strange for it to still have it's own forum section when it only gets a post or two per week. May I suggest merging it back with the main WIP or perhaps changing it to a general iso WIP section?

Basically, you can set it on any image on the site, and you get notified of comments posted on it (regardless of who from and who for), and if the image is reuploaded after being editted.

	Couple of things. I like the idea of the line art gallery. People would post lineart which anyone can rate and comment on, just like a normal gallery. However, there will be a second tab under the art called "Fills", in which you can submit your fill of the line art and/or view all the fills of that same line art, sorted by rating of the real pixeljoint gallery. When you submit a lineart fill, it automatically goes to the regular pixeljoint gallery, but links to the original lineart, in the lineart gallery as well. Also, the smilies&links&text options toolset doesn't appear when I go to the chatterbox, for Safari on my Power Mac G4 Cube, with Mac OS X 10.4.9. tried to upload a screenshot, but photobucket doesn't support .tiff images
