Okay, I'm working on a skin for my forums, and since each site has a mascot, I figured it would be cool if I did a sprite for each button. The question is, what poses should I use for buttons? Buttons: New Thread Reply Locked Normal Topic; you haven't posted yet Normal Topic; you've posted in this thread Hot Topic; you haven't posted yet Hot Topic; you've posted in this thread Locked Thread Announcement Forum - New Posts Forum - No New Posts Profile Private Messaging Email WWW Search Add to Buddy List AIM MSN YIM ICQ Quote Edit Go To Top Make Primary Thread In Quick Reply Show Printable Version Email This Page Subscribe To Thread Add Poll To Thread Heh, quite a few of them...Anyway, suggest away

I'm far too lazy to read that list. But if you have AIM on it, make your little fella' do the running man position.

FOr quote, make him doing quote bunnies

firstoff- i suggest that you post the character you want to use as this will help a lot to fitting poses to certain buttons. and the second thing is that for some buttons you could use the same pose :] Like MSN and ICQ Uhm and what's AIM and YIM sth. like ICQ too???
I don't know whether you're intersted in showind mascot in different poses only or with some items?
1. Forum - new posts - standing straight facing forwards waving straight hands to attract attenion. May be jumping up a bit too. 2. Forum - no new posts - standing in casual way, relaxed 3. Locked(locked thread what's the difference) - holding key/padlock or putting his both hands on mouth or locked in a cage 4. Unrolling scroll (empty one) and scribbling sth. on it 5. normal and hot topic should differ by red highlight around mascot if hot topic. But.... uhm... what do you mean by topic. what does this button do? 6. Profile - mascot at the docotr :] dunno maybe with some horizontal and vertical lines and numbers near them to show kinda statictics of a person :] 7. Email - holding a letter 8. WWW- maybe sitting at teh desk with computer 9.Search - and how did sherlock holmes search for clues :]
Ok I think about rest later :] It is hard to think of anything when I don't know what character you want to use

Okay, here's the mascot: As for "topic", this isn't really a button. You know how most forums display an icon in the showthread section so you can tell if someone's posted in the topic or not since the last time you viewed it? That's what this is.

I really really think it would be so extremely overwhelming to have all these little mascots all over the place. Definatley use text buttons on alot of these, like at least half of them would be too confusing without text. Just my opinion, nice character by the way.

I'm kinda confused cause I thought this COULD be it but again you've writen topic - you haven't posted yet topic - you have posted it this thread which indicates that it is not to show whether there are new posts but whether *I* have posted there already, hmm. Dunno :] Maybe I don't understand some of what you've written. What's the difference betwen locked/locked thread. Anyway i think that for both posts and forum you can use the same poses to show whether there are new msgs or not. You can change their size maybe. Or make it black&white for no new and in color for new ones, heh.
I also think that it is true that too much piktography would kill your page but text buttons can be images. Maybe you can draw your mascot (what's her name btw) lying on her side, front to us, with her almost whole body covered with kinda giant papersheet with text on it. She could be holding it so we would se small part oh her palms and her head maybe. Anyway I'll try to sort my ideas and post them on pixelationn or PM to you.

Here are some of ones from the default theme in phpBB2: www.forumimages.com/misc/buttons/fisubsilver/images/lang_english/There's locked thread, instead of the reply button, a little icon showing that it's locked, in the viewforum page to the left of the thread name. there's also locked forum, but that might be the same as the one in the viewforum page.

Actually, if you look at how PHPBB2, IBF and vB do the buttons, they combine a line of text with an image. THAT'S what I intended to do. The mascot's name is Cherrl, BTW. And I didn't draw her myself, I'm sorry to say In vBulletin, there's an icon that appears next to every thread, that shows a number of things. It shows whether a topic is hot or not, whether a topic has new posts or not, and whether you've posted in that topic or not. That's what leads to the different possibilities.

Oh, I didn't know it'd be like that. I thought you'd have like 9 or 10 little pictures of this chick, and if theyre not very obvious on thier meaning it could get confusing. But I see what your saying now, however all my suggestions have already been mentioned.

Yeah, that's how I was going to do it.
Any more suggestions?
BTW, what size of sprite do you think I should use? 24 by 32, 16 by 24, 48 by 64, or what?

Not sure what other people said but i think for e-mail you could be a little more original by having her materialize a scroll envelope, whatever using her scepter, like with blue electricity and what-not, just a suggestion. i think for new thread, you should have her clothes sparkle and look super neat, just a suggestion, I strongly suggest text accompaniment however
