Right now, questioning the contest is open, once it starts on the magical lucky day, you can still ask questions. How they should be uploaded and sent will be posted the day it starts, if you have any ideas, please do post.


EDIT

There are new colors listed down below. If you want to take those in mind, otherwise, I'm sure we can figure most of those out. Thought son a scrollbar are needed, though.

Most do, the background doesn't have to be a picture, it could be a color.

Also, most of teh pictures (the ones in groups) would be the same thing, as the layout shows here, but with different words. Announcements and stickies usually have different pictures, and new forum messages etc, usually have a different color.

New subjects and new forums normally look a like., but I'll link pictures and all. I think you guys can left click proprrties to get the dimensions >.>


Also about prizes, well.. they'd always have their name up in lights Otherwise, the layout contest would have to be held off until we could raise money and prizes for someone doing that.

I could also just make cake and other pastries to celebrate. I like baking

I'm trying to enter. I'm not colour coordinated, I also don't do anime in banners real well but I'm going to enter something, anyway.

Stationary Colors for things.

These are also messy, so they're not all needed. Eveyrthing except the table parts are prefered and wanted.

As a note, you can make picture links, so they're all combined into one nice bar (Home, FAQ, Search, Memberlist, etc.)

This is all of it, I believe. Whew. So.. go on and work on these, if you want.

As an aside, I'll be placing in all the created forums that are sent in so we can have an actual look of what they're like. I'm also thinking of creating something so they can be sent in easier. If all this becomes a little too stressful, I can look into placing more of the css terms up somewhere else (or doing another one with them, or something), if it's all possible and/or easier.

*sniffs* I guess I'll leave this here for when we do it a second time. Beacuse there will be one. I made a layout, it's nothing special, I'll be honest, but at least it's not someone elses if you all want to try and use it

Show us. That way we can see. I would make one but.........I don't know BBC ^^; How do you learn BBC?

You don't need BBC code to write create the forum background. You need lots of images, most of them can be slightly changed from the same thing (as the pictures show in the first post) to create the images you want.

For the colors (the input ones), you need hexadecimal colors, which are easy enough to come by, since you can look them up on google and find them, or load a picture with a certain color into a program (most of the time) eyedrop, hover, etc, and it'll give its hex color code.

I guess since there weren't a lot of entries, I can take a little time when on one's on to change the background, save its settings, take a few pictures, and then upload them for everyone to see.

Or keep it on for a day and see what people think (same with the other ones, too.. if someone just wants to post some more).

For all those who saw the forum before I changed it back what'd you think, otherwise, here you go!

Here are some pictures from the forum background I made >.< it's like a mix of 3 forum things I found around, and I'm not sure how well the colors actually for for each other >.> but.. hey, what do you guys think of it?

I like it. Very good. But the forum now looks a little messed up. There are those x-filled box things everywhere!

Looks pretty sweet. I really like the little buttons!

:/ at least two people answered back.

Also, if there are problems with the current pictures, I'm not the one that made this layout. I don't want to host all the pictures myself, and they'll probably be fixed soon, otherwise >.> oh well, that's what you guys get for not picking/creating a background.

Now, I'm not sure if I should put this one into play yet, and if I do, I'd prolly have to have, or I would like to have, you all talk about the current color layout scheme, aka tell me what you think should be changed, etc.
