Things Are a Bit Wonky...

@howdydave. no Its ok that way, I don’t have any today. I think it only happens if you leave and come back to edit later, not if you see a typo right after you post. I fix those all the time and the system just let them pass. @sloth Personally, I preffered anonymous “likes” but I think this is a Vanilla change not our own.

Glad there is positive response, seems like the new theme fixed the issues, plus this theme isn’t a drastic change compared to the other. Also, thanks to @Dogwalla for the new banner, quite excellent. Feel bad for the guy though… now we’re going to bombard him with cool banner requests. :slight_smile:

It’s what I do for a living. I’ve got the vectors that I made, so changes/additions/whatever are entirely simple. Don’t be shy about asking for additional sizes, layouts, or colors. It’s always my pleasure to contribute something to a community I enjoy.

The new banner is great, Dogwalla … one question … is that a “tongue” on the “S” ? Or just fancy script? I am perplexed.

I always thought it was a tobacco leaf…

that sounds like a good answer, @Scurvy. i just hadn’t noticed it much before, this new banner really stands out which is awesome, and I can see it more clearly, which is why I ask the question. I use to think it was just a designer “S” …

@cstokes4 : I wanted to know why you delete colors that was a part of my pleasure on “what’s on your nose” ? I think,or see, you like to play with colors too…

@snuffbrant I just took the original image, created a vector that matched fairly close, and changed things to a lighter palette so it worked with a dark site. The good part about that is I can change the colors in seconds. Here is the original logo right next to the new one. There are slight differences, such as opening the center a bit which made it a touch more noticeable. If it drives people nuts, I can make it exact since I now have a copy of my Adobe suite at home.

@dogwalla … i think it is fantastic that you have worked on this … and the image itself is something i like and am use to … i was more curious as to what you all thought it was/looked like. Scurvy posited that it was representing a tobacco leaf … which i thought sounded plausible. but it does bear a striking resemblance to a tongue, agree? either way, when examining your images side by side, i like the new one. it stands out more and maybe why i am just now really paying attention to it. snuffhouse is fortunate to have you and others on the board working to improve it. many thanks.

Its always been a tobacco leaf, even the original. I think Alex the forum’s founder designed it back in 2006. I think also the open left side of the S was supposed to look like a nose in one version.

thanks Xander … makes perfect sense.

The Snuffhouse “S” first appeared in the banner starting January of 2009, I believe it was on a t-shirt before that. http://web.archive.org/web/20090105222437/http://snuffhouse.org/

This new banner, and “S” is looking pretty good. Just noticed. Nice work.

That is the “Summer” banner. @Dogwalla kindly made us a range of banners for all manner of seasons/occasions. Can’t wait to put up the Autumn banner, not only because it looks nice… but because it’s just been too damn hot!

Is Sauron the new administrator? :slight_smile:

@Filek: No, he’s always been a mod, he just goes by the name @Xander :wink:

@cstokes4 He’s talking to you, drac. Some kind of necromancer for sure >:)

nice work @Dogwalla. I had a look at the other designs too. I really like the summer one.

I like it nice banner/

Excellent job @Dogwalla. Fancy!
