*making icons in Pixlr* Mmm, nice, gorgeous, you slay, me.
*uploading icons to an album* Ugly, disgusting, no one will ever want to use these ever.

A panfandom roleplay with more open canons - not just all the animation panfandom. I mean I love them but also let me??? Play Nico Di Angelo??? Alex Fierro??? Neville Longbottom??? Also.... alternate settings. Adapting characters into different universe but like.... still using their FCs??? Please??? I'm.... dying...

This, forever. The very idea of panfandom sites is to get as many characters from as many origins as possible. It makes me sad when I see sites that don't let you play, like, non-human canons, or canons that aren't from animation even if you stick to one fixed appearance. *chants* Give! Us! Character! Freedom!

First of all, I'm making gigantic heart eyes at this whole preview, you better tag me when this is done because I gotta SEE.

You've got a theme of slants going so far with the banner - incorporating them into the categories would be the first thing I can think of. Something right-aligned, like what Shiva said, would help with the balance of the forum, since everything so far is rather left-heavy. This can either be with an accent color, like the red, something just a shade or two darker, or even an image, like a cropped version of the banner... although, if you're going the pre-made route, that might be a little trickier. |D

One design I like a lot is having faint, larger text in the background, with the smaller (and more legible) text displayed in the foreground. Either the category name again in bigger text, or the name of the sight really faint in the background taking up just the same amount of space, but filling that space a little more with minimum effort.

As for general feedback, there isn't really much I can think to say, since it's looking really beautiful so far! Some nit-picky things, which definitely can be ignored since they're... small would be these: a) With the navigation tree, you have the background as the dark purple on the left, but on the right, it's got the same background as the rest of the forum. Especially when on, say, the home page, this is going to leave you with a lot of dead space on the right. Adding a background color alone can help fill that area - making it white, or a lighter shade of tan, for example - or including something that floats to the right, like a quick link toggle or... something???? I dunno, sdkljfhdskjfhds, could help with that balancing; b) and this is SUPER nit picky, hardly even an issue, sdkjlfhdksjfhsd the background image is darker on the left and lighter on the right, which makes the forum feel even more left-heavy, just since that's where all the darker accents are. Reflecting it might help again with forum-wide balance, or rotating it so the dark to light gradient is top-down or bottom-top may help. That's probably a lot of work for little payoff for something that hardly even needs fixed, though. >u>'

Today??? I actually drew something I didn't hate??? But then the all consuming exhaustion that has overcome my life for the last month overcame me, and now I can't even finish it, r00d, universe.

Anyway, send me good jujus as I make a mental attempt to get back into the swing of drawing psuedo... regularly again. For every like this post gets, I'll owe you guys one anime waifu.

Also, , something can perhaps be arranged. >:3c

I had ramen and ice cream for breakfast this morning, nothing for lunch, and it's bed o'clock with nothing to cook, so I guess it's heckin' - CHAI TEA AND MORE PISTACHIO ICE CREAM FOR DINNER, THIS IS THE ADULT LIFE.

At 's request here's my super unnecessary wip for a skin I've been working on while procrastinating studying my chem test


THIS IS SUPER HECKIN' PRETTY, I'M??? CRYING???

My main question is, like... how does this work? Not, like, from a coding perspective, I'll let you keep your cool coding magics a secret. ;o But does this actually make, like, user-sent messages appear as they do in the screenshot, or are these, like, pre-set messages coded into the board? 8O Either way, it's looking super cool, and I demand you tag me when this site is open so I can drool at the skin as a whole.

Addy's definitely correct! Your syntax for your tabs should look a little something like so:

[PTab=[div][attr="class","CLASSNAME"]TAB NAME[/div]]

- making extra sure to put that closing "]" bracket on the end. I personally like to set divs within the PTab to position:absolute (plus a z-index over 1), since that offers a lot more freedom with where you can put the tab, alongside not having to worry about how the margins you put in affect everything else.

One thing to note is that, while tabs normally show up like this:

[PTabbedContent]
[PTab=Name]

meow

[/PTab]
[PTab=Another Tab]

woof

[/PTab]
[/PTabbedContent]

Editting margins of a div-within-the-PTab will only affect what the "text" would be, like this:

[PTabbedContent]
[PTab=
[attr="class","testingtabnames"]Name
]

meow

[/PTab]
[PTab=Another Tab]

woof

[/PTab]
[/PTabbedContent={position:relative;z-index:1;}]
[newclass=.testingtabnames]position:absolute;background-color:#f5de6e;padding:10px;margin:15px;z-index:10;[/newclass]

This means you'll have to edit the PTab's built-in classes so that they're transparent, have no padding, don't have a height, et cetera in order to avoid some blockiness with your design.

A: I wanna say all of the Homestuck shirts I bought but don't wear anymore, or the complete seventy volume collection of manga I only sometimes touch/still haven't finished, but realistically, clothes and books are still nice, and they do get SOME usage still. Honestly, probably just candy. So cheap in the moment - such a bad investment long term. Why do you make me stare at candy all day, work, it's very tempting.

Q: What's something that you wish you could forget about entirely? Maybe not the thing you most want to forget - just something that qualifies.

My friend and I were joking around about a Mindcrime and Warrior Cats cross-over, and now we have an entire story and character designs and I guess I'm writing a Warriors fic for the first time since I was thirteen.
