For the mobile version: move the lock topic button, and stop posts from expanding when clicked upon. Currently a bunch of stuff gets displayed when you try to tap a post (even to quote it) and that usually leads to the page reloading since it's a link to that specific post. Also the lock topic button is very easy to tap accidentally while scrolling, it's happened half a dozen times in the RP currently.

I was thinking about some improvements for the voting thingie https://ssssforum.com/thingies/voting.html#

Is it possible to add more art to the "reward" pool? We have a lot of fanart now and I'm sure a) many artists will be happy to allow their art to be used here with credit and b) many minnions will enjoy seeing fanart they may not be familiar with once they vote. It seems like it could be fun and an extra incentive to vote. What do you guys think?

I will look into both of these when I get home in a few weeks, I'm sorry for the delay but while I'm in Nepal I don't have much time for this.

@Sc0ut Eri had control over this, and I haven't been able to get in touch with him recently, but I will see what I can get done when I get home.

I apologize for the wait time, I promise I will look into this once I am home.

Huge apologies for leaving you with crappy UX for a year! I moved the post expanding function on mobile to a little ellipsis button next to your profile icons, tapping any other part of the post won't expand it from now on, as it should be.
About the lock topic button: could you send a screenshot? Maybe it's in the quickmod buttons (which I have turned off for myself) and that's why I'm not seeing it.

Add all the images \o/
Maybe we can do/dig up a thread to post the links to images or series of images ;)
I'm happy to contribute the Silent Senshi (AKA "Sailor Lalli and the Silent Scouts"; see my profile pic for a sample) That I colored form the lineart @Trinka made, if she's fine with it  (she also did lines for a chunk the support team)

(ETA: Hurray for tagging people in posts [edit again: didn't seem to work, did I do something wrong?]. Trinka hasn't been active in 2 years, but should be reachable elsewhere)

Cool! Is there a way to add a line of text to credit the author? The images currently in use are not credited.
Also, this is obviously a way to give visibility to fan artists. If anyone thinks it's problematic for us to "use" the comic in this way, speak up now before it's implemented! I think word about this should be spread in the SSSS art museum. I intend to make a post about it once we figure out if there is a possibility to credit artists.

Speaking of the vote thingie, were there any changes to it? Lately, the reward image tends to pop up a split second before my browser opens the new tab to display the TWC page in, spoiling the "reward effect" somewhat ... :squirrelcookie:

No.  You know what, I'm going to go post something over on the main board.  I second Sc0ut's suggestion about artist credit, but perhaps in the short run, we can get teh artists to add that attribution themselves when they crop and resize the image(s) for consideration.
But before I do that: What are the general criteria for these reward images?  I tried to submit one, but it was viewed either as ginormous or unreadably tiny, so I for one would appreciate the specs for rejigging it?

I would also like to humbly request emojis of Kitty, Hannu and Ville to add to the set - dunno who made the crew emojis we have?

This is the forum's old theme, I set it back to this one while I fix the main one I just broke, while taking off winter decorations.
The current one will be back up soon.

Sorry guys! :-[

Glad to know the reason. Good luck with the fixing!
