You may (or may not) have noticed that we have added a direct link to this club from the + PBP Games + subforum.

The forum icon, circled in goldenrod, normally indicates that a member has new unread posts in a forum. With clubs (and other redirects, such as to a blog category or an album category), the icon doesn't work the same way. With the forums, the icon doesn't appear or is faded if there are no new unread posts in that forum. With the other features (i.e., the redirects), the image always appears in its full brightness. This is the reason for the redirects having special icons:

With the Nook now having a redirect icon from the Forums, we have two options:

  • Since the Nook is a club, we could use the normal Clubs redirect iconRedirectIconClub.gif.682ed04d4b62ff991c8, or
  • The members of the Nook can create a custom redirect icon

I have a feeling I know which option y'all want to go with, but I don't want to be presumptuous. :cool:

 

If you're fine with the standard icon, easy peasy - I'll make that the icon post haste.

 

If you'd prefer to create a custom icon, there are some requirements/limitations:

  • The image must be 48 pixels wide by 28 pixels high.
  • The actual icon should be no larger than 28 pixels wide by 28 pixels high, centered in the 48x28 area.
  • The icon must work with both the dark and light themes (i.e., there must be contrast).
  • The image must be a .gif with a transparent background.

I'm happy to assist with the creation of the icon, including taking your suggestions and coming up with a suitable image that meets your description.

 

I'll give y'all some time to discuss and come to a consensus.

My first thought was a 40k quill pen of some sort? Maybe that is too obvious, though?

Seconded, though I have no idea bout how to make such an image.

 

While it might be obvious I think we want something fairly simple and self explanatory given that it will be small, and a link from PBP forum to the club so may serve to draw in new participants.
