Graphics Tab

[Shelley_c]

Just curious because I made the suggestion a year ago or so. Is there going to be "graphics" tab implemented to the right of the 'styles" tab. The amount of threads that members ask for icons has grown exponentionally and normally they are always directed to the database here. It's got to make sense to have the graphic tab amongst the other tabs?

The "Styles" tab currently takes you to both styles and graphics. Im not aware of any plan to change that, but we will discuss it internally.

[Shelley_c]

Here's the thread (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=164186) in question (as you seem to have forgotten) you did actually reply in the thread.

Styles and graphics are different. Not everyone is aware that there are icons etc in with the styles. Why is it such hard work to make suggestions around here? The suggestion is sound paul it should be discussed internally though I'll take the statement with a pinch of salt.

I think it'd definitely help the browsing experience for the end-user. When people need whole styles, they'd essentially click the "Styles" tab. But what about those that just need icons or buttons for their existing style, or to help customized their existing style? An easily accessible way to do so wouldn't hurt. And Shelley makes a great point with everyone not being aware that they can indeed easily have custom icons and such that will be very beneficial to their website, easily.

I vote for this!

I will also vote for this. Heck, it's even in the search options in the drop down menu, under Styles, so why not a seperate tab?

I think this is a wonderful idea and will make navigation so much easier for those seeking styles and/or graphics. Will make navigating the sub-forums tidier as well.

You can take it with a pinch of whatever you like, it wont make any difference to what gets discussed. :) However, feel free to to react in your normal negative manner to whatever staff here post.

[nexialys]

strangely i feel that this thread is read by only the usual 10 members here and the topic get parsed the same way as usual...

[Marco van Herwaarden]

We are considering adding 1 more tab for all version independant resources like BB-codes and graphics.

Insulting me will not get that tab up there, had you said skeptical, then yes i am. I simply made a suggestion which benefits the community and the buck (unfortunately) stops with you and the politics that go on behind the scenes in getting things done. You said that changes would be made when 3.7 comes along and here we are still at that same old stagnated stage were nothing is done.

I go on actions, not words paul and when you are told things will get done a year ago then yes we will be a little skeptical and take whatever you say with a pinch of salt.


@marco: In otherwords a graphics tab will not be implemented? unless i'm mistaken what other independant resources are there that warrant their own tab? The graphics area (for such a large site) is way behind compared to the attention and the rich features the modification area gets.

Whatever alternative plans you have (because it clearly shows that a graphic tab will not be implemented) your just cutting your nose despite your face.

Anyway, what would life be like if everyone was so easily pleased. :) Promising, maybe though we can only await for what solution you actually do implement.

thanks I guess. :rolleyes:

[Guest190829]

We are realizing, thanks to your suggestion, that there are some resources here floating around here displaced and an additional tab could house such resources. These include Graphics and BB-Codes.

If you have a certain argument as to why Graphics needs its own tab, that we are willing to hear it, but right now it appears that custom bbcode and graphics are both in the same boat.

[nexialys]

hum, Custom BBCodes have to use their own thread prefix, that would be REALLY simple to implement.

a new tab, is what, 0.640k in size? with a simple href ??

why always argument in clutering when it's just a question of 45 bits of code ? even in it's most narrwoed width, the theme can host 2 or 3 more tabs without clutering.

Nor will constantly being negative to the staff.

Well thats how it goes, real life takes preference. Changes are made when we have the time. JFYI, 3.7 will never be implemented here now. If we change, it will be to at least 3.8.

Whatever alternative plans you have (because it clearly shows that a graphic tab will not be implemented) your just cutting your nose despite your face.

..
thanks I guess. :rolleyes:
I knew the negativity wouldnt be far away. Do you really think that this helps your suggestion get looked at ?

BTW, there is no "Politics" in getting things done, just real life which takes preference over changes to a web site.

[iogames]

.. just real life which takes preference over changes to a web site.

Indeed Sir... :up:

Ridiculous! It seems like such a simple change would never warrant a 7-day discussion. It's simple to implement, and since it has not been implemented yet - the natural assumption is that there may be a little bit of behind the scenes politics taking place - Just crazy actually. And the fact that one doesn't to much prefer a contributing Member of the Community does not negate the fact the the suggestion made is a wonderful one and should/could have been implemented months ago. After all -- whether we have a life outside of vBulletin.org or not (whether real life takes presidence or blablabla...) -- isn't the premise of the website to offer an easily navigatible interface for all Members so that we may share in the sharing process that the .org is all about? ((sigh...))

I can certainly understand how someone could be negative & sceptical in regards to making a suggestion here, as 99% of them are shot down (often rudely) almost before the suggestion maker has even clicked the "Submit New Thread" button LOL --- Sadly - I can definitely understand too how some Members would become jaded about the entire vBulletin.org experience... Interestingly enough - it's a cause and effect principle that trickles right on down from the top... Nothing more, nothing less.

How do you know that the internal politics aren't on how to properly and most efficiently add a new tab to cover what is needed? Or over what specifics should go there... Not everything is necessarily do it against don't do it.

[iogames]

Oh-oh... isn't one of those threads that got closed every week because we find out that we can't agree on nothing? :D

Why we don create 'switch day' ? complainers become Mods and Mods keep complaining become users ;)

I don't know - but judging from that smart@ss reply - we can generally be assured that I'm more correct than incorrect. And I'd appreciate that you keep the little infraction to yourself.

Ah well, time to give you something else to moan about, we have neither the time or will power to continue your rants. Closed.
