Question about 'bookmarks'
 

Hello again,

I was wondering about the bookmark section below the posts in forums.. are those recommended by Shrapnel? or a set of 'default' bookmarks that came with the newly installed forums/site?

The reason I ask is that I might fool around with making a set of more unified icons for the bookmark links. And, if I do, do I wast time on the existing ones or will you be changing them to point to other affiliates and sub-sites?

Curious minds want to know ;)

Cheers!

Well 4 of them are default, the rest I put in based on other info from the vbulletin community. I just resized the images so they were all the same size and threw it all together. I'd certainly look at anything you offered up David, my only request would be that people still know what bookmark they are clicking on, lol.

Maybe this is a silly question, but what are the bookmarks for?

Personally they have put me abit to shame. Im supposed to have an account on any system that could be put into such a collection. Mindi actually put some that I dont have. I have some catch up to do now.

People who belong to different social bookmarking sites....like Digg for example, click on the link and add it as a bookmark in that site. They do so not only so they can find it again, but also to share it with others in that bookmarking site. It's basically a social networking tool for things you are interested in and things you don't want to forget about. Many of these sites have a lot of additional features as well. Here a wikipedia link if you want to learn a little more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_bookmarking

Although I got a lot of them by swiping them from others who provided them on vbulletin.org, I did a lot of searching myself to try to be as encompassing to as many people as possible. I'm sure there are even more than I found.

Another Question,.. are the bookmark icons 'hardcoded' to 16x16 size? or could I make them 24x24? I have an 'effect' in mind and if I could make the bookmark icons a bit bigger than the 16x16 it would be a breeze to do up a batch.

I'll post a sample tomorrow morning.. I got to go get my beauty sleep now, err I mean my old bones need a good 8 hours of horizontal stabilization on a comfy mattress.

Cheers! :)

Sorry, we shut down computers and tried to get to bed on time last night for the first time in about 5 days. Yes I think those would certainly fit in with the look of the site. If you put them in a zip file and attach it to a post, I can upload them sometime today.

Those look nice, but a little too dark for my taste. Can you light up the bluish buttons a little more? Light blue to gray, maybe?
