Boba Fett, it sure can be made into an avatar.

I left the orange background alone as I think the pic loses definition without it. But I can remove the background if you like :)

@Rowley Yeah changed for me as well, kind of looks to me like the colors from the Halloween skin? Yep thought I'd change the texture, I never actually liked the old one.

Fair enough, I like both in all honesty!

Hope you are all well, Indy :)
I actually liked the original texture I used (before this was stickied in HL General). Can't remember why I changed it now. But I think this one fits with overall theme of the pages without being too distracting.

Oh I just remembered I have added some hidden features to linkify.
It can be seen here , keep in mind the link is regular forums not HLF.

Also images can be embedded as backgrounds like this post but I'm not sure that's a good thing.

Edit: Forgot the main reason I was replying :/
All good here and I hope everything is great (magnificently wonderful even) for you too :)

Wait, you can link Imgur on the regular forums? Or is that Linkify working its magic?

Images are good as long as they don't get too obnoxious - the one in your post is subtle, but I wouldn't want some rainbow effect or something, or obnoxiously bright colours in general.

I'm glad to hear everything is okay for you, though!

It's linkify magic, only linkify users can see it.

I don't see why not, I'll probably also add an option to apply the Halloween theme (with some minor changes) too.

That's a firefly (Joss Whedon) reference! I hope that's where you got it from?

test

Edit:

I better explain what this test was about.

Active Users Online


When I made this post there were no active users in this forum section.

After I made the post still none.

After refreshing the page a few times still none.

After returning to HL Off Topic section still none.


I do know what trips active users, it's not posting though. Navigating within a thread doesn't seem to trip it but more testing may prove otherwise. However I've been unable to make a difference from within a thread no matter what I do, posting, editing or navigating strictly within the thread.

One thing that trips it is entering a thread and exiting it. Once done you cant trip it again on the same thread. Waiting until there are no actives users and entering and exiting another thread can trip it again. The thread's parent directory is where the user count fires depending on how you got there.

I have run numerous tests taking snapshots of the sections before and after and the only way I can consistently increase the active users is entering and exiting different threads.

Editing a post, thus changing the forum's content also does not add to the active users.

All my tests were done on forums sections with no active users and every thread was checked for changes.

I'm not sure how thread creation works, as testing that would get messy but I expect it may work in a similar way and only count as activity based on what you do after making a thread.

Another way to confirm it's not about posting is go to HLF General. Take a screen shot of that page. Refresh the page. If the active users has increased compare the last post times with your screenshot. See below.

Two seconds later...

Active user went up, no posts made. It can take a few tries to catch this but it's happens frequently. This took me 4 tries to catch without any content changes.
