Mod Pay December 16 - December 31  
Hi mods! Please list what you've done between the December 16 - December 31 period to receive your mod pay. List permanent posts first, then games! Also let me know if you've covered for anyone.

Deckmakers, please aim to have your decks in by the end of January 3rd! There are a handful of unclaimed decks, and I expect that we'll be getting more trickling in last minute~. Though perhaps people will be celebrating instead of gathering last minute image donations? :3 (BTW, happy 2012!)

LJ changes - So LJ rolled out a new comment system. With subject titles gone, preview button gone... it sure makes things difficult. Is the ability to unscreen comments all at once gone too? I don't see the option on posts with screened comments, but on posts without screened comments, I have a blue bar for mass actions to the comments, though I don't know if this is a maintainer thing or not. If not, then perhaps we just need to... have one public comment for the bar to show up? =/ In any case, I can upgrade our main community to a Plus account (something I wanted to avoid since ads are distasteful, and comment pages used to be so much easier on the eyes when they're not stylized, but perhaps now we'll have to compromise if we want a go around for comments). We can either stick with our current layout or try to find something a bit wider (or something that doesn't have a fixed width). The problem with our current layout is that it doesn't display the date on the entries themselves (at least I don't think it does... we'd need to add it in somehow), and the stylized comment page isn't very easy on the eyes... at least not in my opinion! I would be sad to see the rainbow'ish design at the top go though.

I kind of like what was done over at [livejournal.com profile] norsekink if anyone knows how to emulate that. It's clean and simple.

I can claim the 2 Shaman King decks, and the Gáe Dearg deck!

From what I've seen (since I only posted once as a mod at Colors) We still have the ability to? (http://i40.tinypic.com/28w34gj.jpg) (and this is when I realized I should be updating my bookmarks sob) I can also offer help on a new layout if we choose to upgrade the community to a plus account instead of a basic account. My current personal journal layout is one of the ideas I have in mind (since it's wider at the least) for installing one but I am guessing it might be good to have something different?

Otherwise, I don't really mind the new layout too much.

Thanks for claiming! :)

Hm, that's what I see for posts without any screened comments, but I don't see that bar with posts with screened comments (but... maybe it's different for the original poster of the entry? I don't know...). I'm hoping that posts with at least one unscreened comment do have that bar, because if not, having to unscreen all comments one by one sounds painful.

I very quickly switched us to plus and then back to look at the customized comment page. I thought the new comment page look (even without subjects and the preview button) is a bit easier on the eyes than the customized comment page for the current community layout. So for now, I left us at basic.

Something functional (with a place for links and a blurb) that has comment pages that are easy on the eyes would be nice. :) Even better if we still have a rainbow somewhere... if you're up for helping scavenge for a tweakable layout (or if you're up for helping tweak a layout), that would be helpful indeed!

I have no idea since I wouldn't want to random mass-screen comments on an advent calendar event randomly orz So Hopefully someone who's running game would have a better idea of this.

And here, I made a test layout here (http://natjl.livejournal.com/) to see if it would work (I can make adjustments of the colors if you feel like this would be an okay layout to work with!) I've tested it out a few times and it works okay (unfortunately I can't work out the rainbow effect so I went with just different colors for everything, hopefully easy on the eyes!) If you prefer something else, I'll see what I can do to find something that might better appeal to customized comments and what not. (Oh and art is by Nuge! I thought I might try use this or rotate more fanart via an image randomizer if any)

Oh, that is pretty cute! And is very easy on the eyes. I think that would work! And I do so love having a small banner in the corner. :)
[identity profile] stopping.livejournal.com on January 1st, 2012 09:44 pm (UTC)
....CHUU THAT IS THE CUTEST LAYOUT OH MY GOD??? I'm so in love with it, that's amazing! D8
[identity profile] achuu.livejournal.com on January 2nd, 2012 12:54 am (UTC)
THANK YOU REMUS!! ♥ I'm glad it turned out good XD
lucathia: fishbones: stars[personal profile] lucathia on January 30th, 2012 12:47 am (UTC)
(Whoops, it's been some time since this was brought up over at general suggestions, but I have yet to dig into the code!)

Chuu, do you think you could help change the font color of the posts and comments in the layout to something that's a little darker so that it's easier on the eyes? :3
[identity profile] achuu.livejournal.com on January 30th, 2012 01:13 am (UTC)
Something like this? (http://www.mediafire.com/?3vbfdl2ltu5pbrx) The original color code for the posts/comments was #888888 so I changed it to #353535 so it's a little darker, but still able to differentiate from the rest of the coding. :o On my screen it looks fine, but let me know otherwise! ♥
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on January 30th, 2012 01:17 am (UTC)
Thanks Chuu! I think this works! :D

I was going to say, I saw a layout somewhere with customized HTML/CSS/whatever it is pages that forces the subject line back, I'd just have to find it, but Chuu's layout is super cute. )8 That, and I don't remember where I found it, so that...isn't much help lmfoasdkjfae sob. But it seems like we're solved anyway, maybe, so. All is good? ....also, damn, I just realized that I forgot to turn in my own candies for the Colors' Shopping Street. Well bollocks. )8

Posts!
Masteries - Page Page 66 (http://colors-tcg.livejournal.com/986.html?page=66#comments) to 67!
Colors' Shopping Street - A handful (http://colors-tcg.livejournal.com/373301.html#comments) of requests~ I was wondering, though, since it's now January and it doesn't count for December anymore - there are some comments that I didn't get to in December, so should I list the post again for the next mod pay post to cover those guys? :Oa Since it was only available until the 31st. Or shall I just do them really quickly now and include them in this post ladfksae

lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on January 3rd, 2012 07:45 am (UTC)
Looks like you already took care of Shopping Street! But yeah, list that for this time. It will be easier for me to keep track of...

Happy new year! :)
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on January 14th, 2012 01:26 am (UTC)
Thanks for keeping up with the Masteries reports. I appreciate it a lot! And thanks for running Shopping Street. I hope it wasn't too confusing. XD;

[identity profile] perarduaadast.livejournal.com on January 2nd, 2012 09:04 pm (UTC)
I'll do mod pay... soon. After I've passed out my prizes for games. Right now I lack the time. I should be able to do so on Saturday (the 7th). Please keep the December Release Randomizer around until that time! :(

For now: I can mass unscreen comments without a problem (yay!) as there is a useable drop-down menu at the bottom to do it with. No problems with that! (As Chuu pointed out). Yay!

The new layout is pretty fancy, though it'll take some getting used to (for me).
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on January 3rd, 2012 07:50 am (UTC)
You will only need the December release randomizer, I hope? I'm going to be replacing one of the new deck randomizers with January's release.

The new layout is a change which might take some getting used to... though I consider the functions as beneficial enough to outweigh the negatives. We'll see though! It's still up in a test run of sorts.
[identity profile] perarduaadast.livejournal.com on January 4th, 2012 03:33 am (UTC)
Yup. Only the December Release randomizer! :) You rock.

I'm slowly getting used to it!
[identity profile] vriska.livejournal.com on January 3rd, 2012 07:25 am (UTC)
Hey, Lucathia! One quick question, plus a heads-up. I'll definitely have my decks in tomorrow, but I won't be able to claim any more since I haven't really even gotten a chance to start on the ones I have yet. ;A; Sorry about that! It's been a super hectic month.

I also have enough image donations to finish off Scrapbook 28, so I'll be doing that either tonight or tomorrow when I get a chance to sit down and make decks. Scrapbook went extremely well this month! :D I'm super pleased with how the decks came out~

My question is, would it be alright if I put my whole modpay backlog into one comment here? All I have is Art Shop and a few signature cards, plus two advent calendar days, so it probably wouldn't be too crowded. It's just been a while since I've remembered to post on these, hahaha... I really should try to keep up better, but I suppose I keep forgetting since I do most of my modly stuff in Photoshop!
lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on January 3rd, 2012 07:52 am (UTC)
I should be able to take on the last three unclaimed decks, so no worries there! As long as everyone can get their decks in by tomorrow. :)

The Scrapbook decks turned out really cute!

Hm, that might be easier for me too, as I think I'd probably lose track if you made several comments on old posts.

Oh I love the new layout. It's really cute ^__^

Mass comment time! Also, I missed saying this in the first place, but ahh I love the new layout. ;A; It's super cute!

For your reference and mine, the last time I was able to post here was in the Oct. 16-31st (http://colors-mod.livejournal.com/43990.html) modpay post!

Signature Cards (http://colors-tcg.livejournal.com/5502.html?page=8#comments) - In two months' time, only five cards! Starting from Sylwia's card, on Nov. 23rd.

Art Shop (http://colors-tcg.livejournal.com/178056.html?page=67#comments) - Roughly 6 pages. Starts with Nuge's comment near the bottom of page 67 (three comments from the bottom), and ends at Naociak's comment near the bottom of page 73 (six from the bottom). Six pages in two months doesn't seem like much, haha! December was relatively slow overall~


lucathia[personal profile] lucathia on January 14th, 2012 01:35 am (UTC)
Thanks for keeping me up to date! I so need to... get back to commenting on Mod Pay posts myself, oh gosh...

I don't know what the last Signature card I put up was. Be sure to hand new ones to me when you remember. XD;

I understand. I'm in the same... situation. OTL. I really need to get back into the habit of commenting on mod pay posts. Thank you for checking in! Hope your exams went well. :)
