New WATMM Symbol

It looks like a fat kid giving the middle finger.

what?

I like the hexagon... it should be the symbol... looks pretty intellectual and classy

When I see the symbol I think about finding hazelnuts on forest paths. Here's a drawing of one I found on the internet. I don't like it, but it works to illustrate my thoughts.

I like it, but it completely fucked the watmm.com page I've been heading to since I first arrived here. Now you can't even access the forums that way.

with regards to the homepage, should make it into a scalable vector that fits the window

The logo looks like a one hand goatse.

the favicon is completely black when on a black background now. could do with a white outline?

Oh, you're one of those who use a dark UI... Hadn't considered that.

If only support for SVG was consistent in browsers...

I like it, but I think the blue bits to the left and right of the image should blend in rather than contrast.

Otherwise its good!

Ah - that's due to the other skin having the wrong coloured background (I don't use that skin too much; should have checked it). It'll get fixed in the coming days.

You mean not having direct links to the individual forums? If so, I see your point about that - you do know you can click the text "watmm.com Selected Forum Posts 99-12" and it takes you here, right?

BoC already have the market cornered on hexagons, I'm afraid.

I plan on doing more "omage" lead-in pages - any suggestions on the next one?

True dat. Just with few lines of jquery though you can achieve the same effect, here's a quick working demo I knocked together;

CSS

<style type="text/css" media="all">
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0;
overflow:hidden;
}
div {
position:absolute;
cursor:pointer;
}
</style>

JS:

<script>
reScale();

$(window).resize(function() {
 reScale()
});

$('div').click(function() {
 window.location = "http://forum.watmm.com"
});

function reScale() {
var scale_top = 870/960;
var scale_left = 30/960;
var scale_width = 660/960;
var height =  $(window).height() * scale_left;
var left = $(window).height() * scale_left;
var top =  scale_top * $(window).height();
var width = $(window).height() * scale_width;
$('img').css("height", $(window).height());
$('div').css({"height":height, "left":left, "top":top, "width":width});
}
</script>

The area of the image that is mapped as a link also gets scaled on window load and resize

i always loved the old ae myspace page. it was perfect for them but an homage to that may scare people away.

Ah, JQuery - use it all day long at work... my mind must block it out when I get home to tinker on WATMM

If you don't mind, I'll use this code - very cool, Roasty! I might make a higher res version so even at the obnoxious resolution I run my monitors in at work (2x 1920x1080 in portrait orientation), It'll look nice.

Also, if you want to volunteer some time for some WATMMgramming™ (that extends to others, as well), I might have some projects that I don't have time to work on...

Oh, yeah - that was a nightmare to look at, eh? But totally AE.

Nope, there's nothing clickable on it... and I'm not sure if it's deliberate, but there's a thin blue line around the symbol on the left half of the page, then there's two fragmented logo parts on the right half, and I have to scroll down to get to the bottom where the text is. It's really strange and probably a faulty interpretation of what's supposed to be there. Either that or a very unique design choice. I'm using firefox on a PC.

I actually like the new logo. Looks wicked spiffy in the adress bar. Props.

Odd... well, I did fix it last night (and I'm putting in some nice JQuery code Roasty provided to have the image scale to the browser's height probably tonight as well), so give it a go and let me know if it works for you or not.

lol .. Selected Forum Posts ...

(yeah, i finally checked it)

Right on, would be more than happy to. I dig the idea of lead-in pages... Just for fun I tinkered that code from before in 'omage of the 4-squares

New WATMM Symbol: penis

It is the same as it was (and that's after clearing history). I just tried it in Google Chrome as well, and it's the same problems but without the thin blue line.

i did a little editing yesterday

for some reason i thought everyone saw it already, but i have no idea what's reality and what's not these days, so there it is
