Little Pix next to your name. Profile Pics.

[Michelle Mc]

Wondering about the little pictures showing up next to peoples names?  Want more choices of icons?  The ones you have to choose from when you signed up, or modify your profile are provided by ProBoards.  I thought we needed better ones, so I've created a page of little pictures I thought you might like.  I will be adding more soon.

You can see what I've come up with so far at www.unomas21.com/pix.htm  You can grab the url  and paste it into your profile.  I think I may need to add dimensions for you too.  We'll see.

Also, if you are a longtime Uno Mas regular, a moderator of any part of the site, or a financial supporter of the site ... there are some special icons for you there, as well.  I try to add them myself, but I'm getting lost trying to decide which pic to use, if you are all of the above.  

If I force an icon upon your profile, I apologize.  Just go into your profile and change it.

More to come on the Rankings you see next to your name ... such as "Brand New Poster"  Peppy poster ..etc  designations.  I want to explain those to you and get your help... but I've got to cook dinner now.  

Quickly, it's based on how many posts you've made to the BB.  
1-10 is Brand New Poster
10 + is Pretty Peppy Poster
50+ is Full Fledged 3 Pep Poster
100+ is Fiery Hot 4 pep poster
250+ is Da' Bomb !  5 pep poster

I know these are corny.  Sorry.  I need your help coming up with better rankings.  Maybe Rookie - Champ?  Or just 1 star - 5 star?  Junior - senior member?  Help me out here.  

I know those post numbers seem really high, but in a month or two they will be more relevant.  (I actually lowered them from the default settings, where you had to post more than 50 times to move past "new member" and post 500+ times to be a "God")

The program is going to rank you based on the number posts you've made.  I can't change that, and I actually like it, because people who offer the most help and suggestions get some bit of recognition.  (Big deal, huh?)  I'm just trying to think of a fun way to name the ranks.

Help!

I like the names!!! It goes with the whole theme of Uno Mas:) Chili Peppers, pep 4,Firery Hot and Da bomb, I think they are very cute.

I haven't figured out dimisions though and Kaden looks a little warped on my profile:) I will get it eventually though!

I started adding these little icons to people's profiles
www.unomas21.com/umgem.gif [/img]www.unomas21.com/oldtimer.gif [/img]www.unomas21.com/regular.gif [/img]

and started to realize that this would be complicated.  How do I know if someone would dislike being labeled and old timer?  Or felt emabarrassed by all the designations?  Also, there are 92 members!  This was going to be big job and I was sure to overlook alot of gems!

I was hoping people would add them in themselves, if they felt they applied ... but you guys are too modest.  No one did it!

So help me out, please, and nominate some gems.  Please  post a message here if you notice a member who deserves a little "medal" of honor.  Okay? And I'll do my best to add it to their profile.

Thanks for your help!

Here is that link again to the page with all the pictures to choose from. www.unomas21.com/pix.htm You can add them to your profiles by copying the url of the picture and pasting it into the picture/text area or signature area of your profile

TIP:

The PICTURE/TEXT area puts the photo or icon up at the top left side of your posts.  

By putting the pictures in the SIGNATURE field of your profile, you can add more than one picture.  These show up at the very bottom of your posts.

You know what? On second thought, I just realized that having people publically "nominate" other members could be a disaster. People's feelings might get hurt if no-one speaks up for them.

Ugh! What a can or worms I opened, huh? How 'bout this instead: If anyone wants to suggest I add an icon to a member's name. Please send me an email rather than post it to the board.  Or send me one of those BB instant messages.

Feel free to say "Gimme a gem."

or "I donated money and you forgot to add my sponsor icon."

or " I thought I was on Team Uno Mas?"

It still might get confusing because people can go in and remove them if they don't want them there, or want to add their own picture. So I might keep forcing little peppers and gems on people who don't want them!  

Anyway, email me if you want somethiing added, and I'll try to figure out this dilemma.     If I get tons of requests, it may take me a little while to get the pix inserted, so be patient with me.

SO, TAKE NOTE EVERYONE:
[glow=red,2,300]PLEASE DON'T POST THE "NOMINATIONS"[/glow]

That was a bad idea. I take it back.
