In this age of higher resolution screens, i think it's important to use vector formats wherever possible.
I can help with vectorifying the silk icons if you want.
Also, vector avatar support? ;o
it shall be done
Just my two cents: I feel like Cute and Good Idea can be conveyed by Friendly and Agree/Winner respectively and still feel a bit redundant, imo. As for something to add I feel like Optimistic could come back, as well as a new rating to convey that something is gross/disgusting (barfing emoticon?), since Informative also meaning "TMI" felt like a bit of a stretch and also didn't fully convey if something was gross.
Speaking of emoticons, now would be a good time to move all of those custom emoticons the community made for Oldpunch back
Ah I misunderstood then, with the earlier discussion of icon resolutions.
gif avatars making a come back?
also webm with no sound avatars too???
Fuck that, go full throttle! The people demand webm avatars with sound, autoplay, and multiple megabyte file sizes.
auto play on maybe hover? kinda like the background + avatar system we have here but having both and an unmute function on webm avatars when you hover over would be NEAT
Please god no, at least not on hover. I accidentally hover over other people's risque avatars on my laptop all the time. The last thing I want is Loli Lover's avatar to start playing sounds when I try to move my cursor to the home button.
it would need some rules....
If we're gonna go all out and start putting videos and shit as our avatars, there really needs to be an option to turn them off so you don't shit all over your data allowance. Or better yet, have useragent detection and have it off by default on mobile browsers.
Have a fairly sane limit (Do we really need >10MiB for WebM avatars that are <160x160?), but I agree, a mobile/"low-data" mode should be implemented.
in a world with no animated bg avatars, I am the ubermensch
Embedded livestreams as avatars or bust
For real though I don't think webm avatars are a good idea, they're much more resource intensive than gifs and I feel like a whole page of them could bring the browser to a crawl, especially a mobile one
filesize for filesize, WebM/VP9 is going to give way more bang for buck, plus on virtually all modern mobile browsers+hardware, VP8/VP9 are accelerated - it wouldn't surprise me if that is less performance intensive than Gif.
Are PMs in the roadmap for this project? Or atleast user profile messages?
Either way, excellent work Inacio!
long term, yes, that's on the list of features to be implemented in the order you guys will prioritize
pretty impressive to see how far this has come in 4 months, really appreciate the dedication and time spent on this thus far
imagine if my hands/wrist werent injured and if i worked on it for more than 30 mins a day once every three weeks
Carpal tunnel? Or broken wrist?
RSI, both hands
you are the hero facepunch needs
most work has been done behind the scenes, but one good thing that you'll be able to see is that subforums are now paginated, meaning they'll show more than just the 20 most recent threads

🤔
let me in
It seems like work for this is really picking up recently. Have I just not been paying attention or have you been inspired to work on this more lately?
Either way this all looks like really great work, now let the rest of us in so we can shitpost.
well, my RSI hurts less, so i can do work without my hands literally making me writhe in pain. i'd be doing more if i was not injured
i actually do need more people to go in and report issues, but i know that most people wouldn't actually want to do that, so i don't think it's quite time to let more people in yet
Doesn't matter how far along you are, what you've come up with on a whim to save this community is really amazing.. Keep up the good work I love you, NuGarry.
if any of you want to actually test the broken, gross mess that is this thing right now, hit me up on https://discord.gg/nJCwN5 and @ me. however, i need people that will actually add bugs to the trello, so i know what to work on. it's important work!
