:lol: I know, it starts as talking about graphics to talking about living at home, going to school, and about our family :lol:

I think thats really nice of you to help your grandparents out, mine have always helped me and been there for me as well, and I love them for that.
 
Oh yes, Jen I like this name better. :)

Thanks for answering. Now, you just got me more anxious. :lol:
 
OMG! I really never expected this colour here but dang it's awesome! I know I've been waiting for this board to be recustomized like forever and this certainly made my wait worthy. :lol:

Great job GT! This is just fantastic. I lvoe the orange borders and the banner. Wow! :clap:
 
This perhaps is the bestest suggestion so far. :D

Ami Errr... newer actor? I'm going to biased, I'd like to see Jake Gyllenhaal there. ;)

We're working on it. We don't make images the same size anymore so we have to shift the tables a bit to make the banner fit the current scheme.
 
Well, I agree - I think family life has become too fractured, and while living in the dorms can be great, it can also be a tremendous distraction for people. Frankly I think a lot of people go to college - and start being on their own - a bit too soon for their maturity level, and that's an on-going trend.

But really, family is family and taking care of my grandparents is great! People ask me how I do it, and okay - it does impact my social life, but not so horribly I don't actually have one. We're so quick to abandon our elders and I'm just not one of those people, especially as my grandparents essentially raised me. It's the least I can do. :glow:

And look how this conversation has turned! :lol:
*tries not to be impatient for new graphic*
 
Wow I really like it alot, I love it when I come to boards and see a change and Im like "Holy crap" even know I knew we were going to get a change soon, but still I love being shocked. Great job guys!

You can suggest people to be included in the graphics and we will consider using them, but when it comes to a board which isn't about specific people like this, we do tend to like using symbols (like film strips, cameras, film cannisters etc).

In fact, you kinda already suggested that we do this for this board:



Is exactly what most of the Graphic Team members likely thought they would try and do when they first heard we were recustomizing this board (I know I did). We like our graphics to have meaning where possible instead of a bunch of random pictures that just fit a theme.

After saying all of that, we may still decide to use pictures of actors in the graphic :shrug: the reason we take so long to customize each board is so that we can make a wide range of graphics and then pick the one that we feel would work the best.
 
All this talk on the old FF lol, how is the graphics coming along for the new look? :D
 
Jen - You seriously rock (you always have). Thanks.

Shr - beautiful post.

I'm all for updating the banner for, like rebelle said, the "refreshed" look but I was afraid of a dramatic change in background color.
 
:lol: Okay, so now I'm totally confused!

What is it exactly you want us to suggest? I mean - what visual direction are you heading towards?

I guess part of the confusion is traditionally FF's boards have had actors in their graphics. Can you show us an example of the kind of thing you're working on so we can make appropriate suggestions, please? Thanks!

(...of course, we could always use the old standbys of film strips, cameras, film cannisters, that sort of thing...)

ETA - okay, I just checked the first post by Insanity which asks for suggestions that might include individuals. I'm so confused! :confused:

A sample or link to another board that's already been updated would really be helpful. Thanks, again!
 
Jen - me, too. I kind of felt more alive, you know? But I'm more than grateful for what I have now. :)

Jenny - hah! I only wish I could be a posting whore again! :lol:
