OK, I'd say it's rather obvious that I've changed my name, and if your cache isn't being screwy, it'll also be rather obvious I've changed my icon. The more inquisitive of you will also see my title and sig have changed, and those cyber detectives amongest you might also have noticed my e-mail is now [email protected], which has affected my MSN list, and if those of you on ICQ might care to update my info from the ICQ database - you'll see it's changed there too.

I don't want to go into detail about why I changed, and why this name, but this post is just to make sure everyone knows that it's CTL here, and not some freak who popped out of nowhere, wearing the clan tag. I felt the need to change maybe a year or so ago, but only recently (yesterday) did I finish freeing myself of enough commitments that I thought changing my online identity would prove a small enough hassle.

What I actually need your input on in this thread relates to a different matter though. It's to do with the top banner of our forums. I'll be upgrading it when I get my new monitor back ('twas fauly, had to send it back for repairs), as the one I'm on now is warped and fuzzy - no good for graphics work.

At the top, just under the banner, we're gonna have text links to the different forums. I think it'd be a cool feature, that'd make looking between the different forums mean less clicking. What I want to know is, whether you guys actually want this feature (if you all just use the active topics, we won't really need it), and if you do want it, what forums/forum pages you want linked to up there. Like, do we want a link to the Active Topic page up there aswell? Do we want to customize our FAQ section more, and add it up there too? Stuff like that.

Wow. I never thought I'd see the day.

This was necessary because upon opening up this thread I did think it was some freak barging in.

Good job, then.

<orange>Knew about the change already :P

Concerning the links: I don't need them, I use heavily advanced tabbed browsing. But I can imagine those using Internet Explorer or some other browser that doesn't have tabbed browsing (is there any other?) could use it.</orange>

I wouldn't mind having an 'active topics' link up there, but what I think would be pretty cool, would be if you put the same white strip with the same links on the new clan [GSF] homepage, it would just kind of put more of a bond between the forums and the page.

Hmm, dunno, just an idea anyway.

I prefer your new name also. It's not so long to type at all, plus it just sounds better.

[1] Your new nick is shit.
[2] I can understand the wanting to ditch the try-hard-ness of "Legend", but this?
[3] Active topics. That's all I need. Keep it simple, don't go overboard just 'cause we can.
[4] Your avatar freaked me out, what with me just recently playing Mario Sunshine... say... are you just an evil villain PRETENDING to be She Leg and painting the town with goop and things and STUFF?!

I like the icon... =)

I can't seem to get used to going to the active topics... And I use IE... so I might like it if you did the switching thingy.

I use IE, I wouldn't mind the buttons.

Other things: The Icon is cool. Buy Cyrris sounds like a rare bird on the plane of suffering or something.

...

Crickey! We ahve indeed managed to find the rare Cyrris bird in his natural habitat! This fella is rare than a beak on a twin legged Panda me mates!

...

Whoa, WHAT was THAT?

Insanity. You'll get used to it after a while. I wish I had a big knife.

New name is bollocks.

A link to active topics would be nice. Oh and switch on custom av/title at 200 or whatever its supposed to be since it ain't workin' guv'.

That's the worst name ever. I mean, seriously, why don't you add a few random numbers on the end to make the effect complete?
