Looking For Ideas To Upgrade An Old Board

[cassini]

First topic message reminder :

Hello Ape and Skouliki  

I thought I would ask you both seeing that you have done alot of work for me which I do appreciated  

I have had a good clear out of an old board I was using for archives, found a skin I could play around with the colours and changed the forum to Invison for a change. I done the header and avatar myself however maybe it could be improved.   If the header and avatar could be improved, I am open to ideas I do like the Olde English style writing just to have different look to the other two boards I have on forumotion.

Olde Forum to upgrade

Header

I am looking for a black background skin with screencappingzone in Olde English writing in a wave maybe in sky blue writing similar to the header  . The current blue background is from Microsoft Word however the blue I use for the board writing is this #1FFFF4 which is as near to the background colour of the header and avatar. The blues I have on my old forum, :#1FFFF4 #92BBD1 and the black #1E1E2A.

If you could try blue background black Olde English writing like I have now and black background blue Olde English.

As for the way it looks could I see two, the first as you see it now, and the second in a wave look please, with a reel of film at the end of the writing.

Buttons that relate to TV, camera, lights, (microphone New Topic), clapper board and (sissors for Edit) (megaphone for IP)
Other possible ideas of using some of the work you done on my other sites, profile traffic lights, like button, reputation lights, forum profile shields.

Just let your creative minds go into overdrive   and of course you both will get the credit for it 
If you want the screen caps deleted let me know

I had a feeling that some of them had copyrights, however it is an idea to work on Iam happy with yellow or orange instead of gold I did not want to use white.

I know that you are busy work wise and homelife as well, I am the same here so there is no rush in your own time. I am not planning to open the forum up to members for a few months, I am open to other ideas.

Right now as you would have seen on the support forum we have big problems our servers have had big down time and we are working on them as we speak we are still only running on about 50% and some forums are still not working so my advice is not to try and do anything to your site until this is fixed as it could show up problems.

Ok thanks Ape, I am aware of it as it was on twitter as well as the Forumotion help panel

I also forgot about Mod Tools Buttons, if its at all possible to colour these up a bit please

Colour Codes   #BF00FF  #AA0000 #00FFFF
#FFA600


Also the new post light that shows yellow, I would like a similar colour to make it show up more please
#FFBF00  #FFFF00



Also there is a flashing light for popular, if this could be a flashing yellow or gold colour would be brilliant please
Other colours for the other icons  #BF00FF  #AA0000 #00FFFF
#FFA600       # FFFFFF           


Thank you very much

This is a lot to be asking of us as we are not really here to make buttons for forums but jenny said she can do the basic stuff maybe @skouliki can make the change to the buttons / icons you already have.

Jenny is not any good at making things flash and i don't have the time to do them right now.

[cassini]

Ok I will ask  Skouliki

Great, on all accounts   thanks very much.

As you have probably noticed there are flashing lights however we are just improving them.

Flashing Low is perfect 

No New Post (Popular)  is white and changes to red, if we did the Red one that you done is great.

If you want any other ones changed please post the URL of them here and Ape or i will change it for you
