InkofDeath Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Just to add a bit more of 'feel' to the forums or whatever would be if when it's someone B-Day according to the forum dates, if some sort of icon, preferably something B-Day related, would appear above/below the avatar/online bar, or anyone on the user information table of that user's post. Since usually that entire table there is grey most of the time, like empty space, and unused. So, at midnight or day of the B-Day, the icon would appear at the select location, the icon could even link to a PM to the user, so people can quickly wish them a happy b-day, then at 11:59 the would be taken off. This wold all be automatic though* For the icon I was thinking a mixture of: Tip.It Icon/Logo (resized...) A Cake... Something of a RuneScape iconic object These would create the icon...this would represent the three major themes...and to be honest I'd feel awesome having the icon just for a day on my special day. Thoughts? < - - - - - Like look right here, completely grey and unused area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pan_Nx Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 That would be cool, hopefully something like it will be implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsavi Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 -----------------> Over there on my current forum theme :P I'm thinking more about the code than whether it would be cool or not (Which it obviously would). I'm going to go dig through some code, be back sometime. EDIT: I'm quite sure it's possible, it would take a while to code though, I think.

PoorLepRecon Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I like the idea, as long as it isn't too much trouble to code it. It would be nice to have a bit of recognition on your birthday.

Kill_Life Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 There is an automatic birthday function on this board. Where it displays the birthdays of people every day. It got disabled, no idea why actually :-k "A man's gotta do what a man's gotta do"[Currently playing: K1ll L1f3] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InkofDeath Posted August 8, 2008 Author Share Posted August 8, 2008 There is an automatic birthday function on this board. Where it displays the birthdays of people every day. It got disabled, no idea why actually :-k But isn't this at like the bottom, where the 'Who Is Online'? thing is? Not exactly what I was aiming for here... Every post that person had made would have the B-Day icon for one day, thus a lot more people would see it, and be prompted to take some form of action on it.

Personally, I can't blame them for doing so. 8-) I agree: Wait... What? It got disabled on this board, after the forum-crash. They already left the staff then.Okay, to fill everyone in with what is in my memory, and answer those going, "Wait... what?", please read on... The whole thing about displaying birthdays has been off since before I ever arrived on Tip.It ... Further, when it was brought up and discussed back then, it was noted that the feature would not be turned on due to the need to protect the younger users of Tip.It ... And to really deck it off, I couldn't even input my birthday back then into my profile data and have my age (25 at current) displayed on my user profile. (BTW, I'm glad I can have it displayed now. :thumbsup: ... Although I hope there are measures set up to protect those who are younger than about 18...) And Silverion isn't an ex-Admin :| As for Silverion, I know he's NOT an ex-admin. I was just quickly listing his name off, and didn't realize anyone would take it quite that way. Sorry. :oops: @ Dragontotem --- Thanks for the 'compliment'... lol :lol: ... However, as you can see, I do know what I'm talking about this time around. :P (Hey, I can't hit dead-on 100% of the time!) 8-) ~Mr. D. V.

InkofDeath Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Although I hope there are measures set up to protect those who are younger than about 18...) If there was, it only needs to be 12, or 13, personally 12 and below. 18 is too high for the majority of users who would enjoy this suggestion.

Hawks Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 It's set up to do that, if you don't put in a year, just the day and month, all it would display is that it's your birthday on that day...

Just let them keep making it look like it is their B'day, and without them knowing it, they've just told the whole forum that they are lame. :twisted: (Yeah, I'm twisted like that.) ~Mr. D. V.

Imo normal tifers wouldn't lie about their bday, seeing as we're tifers and not [insert name of a not so pleasent forum here]. Like N_Odie said, 1 time is enough, and as long as it's set out as ##/month/#### , it should be fine, as that way people cant complain about getting month/day mixxed up, which i've done countless times :oops: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. V. Devnull Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 "##/month/####"??? Are you crazy??? :shock: TBH, "Year/Month/Day" would be a better approach. Keeps it in an order that works better in a database. :thumbsup: ~D. V. Devnull and normally with a cool mind.(Warning: This user can be VERY confusing to some people...
