It can be done.

It involves javascript pulling in the uploaded avatars of people in the online list (similarly to how we used to use the id variable to get avatars in forum rows, before John just created the appropriate variable). As I am not a JS person myself, I recommend you find the code on a search of Jcink's official help forums. Try "member avatar in online list".

honestly, i've just. embraced it by this point.

i mean. there's only so many ways to design a """contemporary""" skin (aka, with all the modern bells + whistles people expect and one that's in-step enough with all the current design trends to attract new members), and when most skin designs trends tend to come about by one coder doing it and then a bunch of others emulating them, y'know, there's not a whole lot of ways for it to not feel derivative.

so what if my skin looks similar to my other skins and also to a lot of other skins that are already out there? i only have so much time in this mortal coil, and i am not going to waste it worrying about stuff that just does not matter in the end.


Really feeling this right now. There's very specific skinning styles in right now, because they tend to be done by the same people. And their work is beautiful. But when you try to do something else you stare at it forever like 'Does this even look good? Will people accept deviation? Or should I add more low contrast blocks with lower contrast background images??'

Getting roof work done on my place as I work from home.
Hear through the walls between thumping and machine sounds:

Worker A: "Oh my GOD it's a SQUIRREL!"
Worker B: "What? Where? He wasn't there when I checked!"
Worker A: "Oh nooo, awwww...."
Worker B: "That's terrible..."

RIP squirrel  (zzz)

Not sure how I feel about trend of increased staff supervision on sites lately. I've always thought that personal issues should be handled between members; staff shouldn't be used to confront things just because it's unpleasant to confront yourself.

This is exacerbated when the expectation is to go to staff straight away if you have any kind of issue with anyone. Doesn't that just escalate and stress everyone out? I thought that communities were nicer these days, but now I'm paranoid that it's all the same - just a lot less visible now.

I think it's very cute and heart-warming to see people play their own siblings. I have a pair I used to port all the time but back in the day people thought it was weird and I should wanted ad my sibling instead...

It's not the same! Though I don't miss pulling reasons out of my ass for why the brother/sister rarely met in person.
