Yeah, actually good idea. But i am currently using fontawesome icons. If I were to convert to an image icon, I would like that.

I just couldn't be happy with my header. The image in the background I like, but I was not happy with the text.

 

I changed the font of the header text to Courier to give it more of a top secret styling. But because I use a flavor of red in the title, it looked washed out to the background. So I added some shadow to the text to give it some contrast against the background.

 

Totally changed how it looks to me now. I like it.

Adding a couple snippets to extra.less to add some minor css dynamics to forumlist, threadlist, and post page.

Trying to add some dynamic flash. Trying to keep it minimal and not out of hand lol.

Updated my Better Analytics yesterday and it totally frapped my analytics properties settings. Rebuilt that this morning. :mad:

 

Ya know, I might of struck while the iron was getting warm.

 

I watched that hearing last November and it interested me enough to plant the seeds about my site.

 

Now, we have drone-like UAPs flying around anywhere they want to, we have a new whistleblower coming out in a few day with what I understand is "Rock Solid" evidence from a high military official, and Dr. Greer vlogging that "in a few days...". Plus quite a bit of news coverage of a variety of related subjects.

 

A lot going on right now. I need Google and Bing to get me out there and up front lol.

Yeah that was a bust in my opinion lol.

 

 

I am trying out using a catch phrase as my subtitle instead of the site descriptor. Not sure yet but I think I prefer the catch phrase. After all the site genre' is pretty obvious on first view on its own.

I have instituted a registration upgrade for new and existing members for the duration of 2025.

 

Normally a member is upgraded upon achieving a certain number of posts. But since the website is relatively new, all new members will be given the upgrade upon registration.

 

Through the end of 2025, all new registrations are automatically upgraded to the Charter Member group. This group will always enjoy the full benefits not normally available to new members, and with lifetime badging that will always display with your username showing that you are a founding member.

I am liking how the forum has been turning out.

 

BUUUT,... I realize there is a stickiness element missing. There is only so long you can keep a member logged in when you only have a specific niche focus.

 

So then I think, "but we have a lounge style forum for off topic conversation". But I realize that's all fine and dandy, but you end up with a lounge forum with a convoluted assembly of topics.

 

I have introduced a couple of things I hope may prove popular.

 

1.- Instituted a points reward system, not dissimilar to what many forums have.

 

2.- I renamed my lounge to "Alt-Topix" with a new navbar presence. Then I implemented a mechanism that, where a member is promoted to member+ status after a number of posts, gains the ability to purchase a new forum subject spot with a subject title of their own choice. Members may now create their own CTS forum under the Alt-Topix heading in order to expand subjects in the lounge, thereby making the lounge a little more sensible.

 

Feel free to visit and give it a try out. Currently all new members are given Charter Member status at registration which gives all features and benefits of being a Member+ member immediately. And while this feature is in beta, the price is very low.

I like the name Alt-Topix. :D

The irony of alternative topics on a ufo forum, lol.

Hey, nice forum. I feel like I was abducted and made a member there :P

 

No, really. I found this forum by looking at your profile here because your signature wasn't a link yet. I joined and started posting organically as a regular member and I think I'm a top member there now :D

 

Need to get back there and post! March has been really bust for me. March Madness has a great ring to it.
