I would like to try and help make this place the best possible place to discuss Underground Comix and Art. I don't want to be the one to over step any lines here but figure I would start a post on how we can go about doing so.
Some of my suggestions are:
Underground Comix Section
4-Sale/ Trade Section.
Mini Comix Section
New Wave Section (Comix after the 1982 Guide)
Original Art Section
^^^All forum discussion group sections...

CJ... Please check your PMs!
Jason
Let me think 'bout these for a spell. I agree with you, I don't agree with you. I have to formulate my response...
Sir Real... I hope you don't think I stepped on your toes or anything but I got the go ahead from CJ via an email.
I guess we can give it a whirl and see how we make out.
Cool?
Jason
Heck, you aren't stepping on anyone's toes. This is a community supported wiki.
Okay, let's deal with these new sections...
I've been over in the admin side and looked around a bit. Right now, we're only operating with a single main category, called "General Category". Instead of lumping every new section into General, let's create a few specific categories. The list below is my first thought on it. It appears real easy to juggle sections and categories.
General
Zonker's Hermitage

Forum Admin

Wiki Topics
Wiki How To
Wiki-Code
Comix Collection
Undergrounds
Mini
New Wave
Original Art
4Sale/Trade
eBay
Mods

?
Okay, as an initial test, I've created the "Wiki Topics" category, and moved the Wiki How To section into it. Whatcha think?
Looks Great! I say roll with it...
Were gonna do it Sir Real, me and you... We make a team! LOL!!
Jason
Well, that didn't take long. If you see something needed, don't hesitate.
WOW! This place is looking great!
<--- Impressed
Sir Real, if I may ask... Do you have a first name other than "Sir"? ;)
Also... How about a section to talk about grading comx?
Jason
Any idea if we can change the top there where it say's "Scribbles" to something?
I tried to change "This theme's name:" here but it had no effect on it.
Jason
Grading Comix. Good idea. I'll through it into "Comix Collection".
...and "Scribbles"? I'm afraid I don't see it anywhere except in fine text at the bottom of each page.

I prefer to keep my alter-ego's identity a secret, mostly because he is dry and boring. But if you must know, you can call me Mark.

Right on Mark, at any rate I was talking about at the very top of the page, right hand side, right above your avatar pic..
Jason
Yeah, I was just in the Admin area, trying to figure out the PHP code to see if I could find the right graphic to remove. That's gonna take a bit more time to figure out.
What time-zone are you on? I'm in the Pacific. I figure I'll wait until late tonight, then I'll try really messing things up.
LOL! I'm EST...
"Tabloid Section" added
Jason
It would also be nice to have some sort-of direct link to the Wiki from the top of the forum as well.
Jason
Link to Wiki noted. I'll look into it...
As for the "Scribbles" logo at the top, I've found the particular graphic...
http://headcomix.info/forum/Themes/scribbles11/images/img/logo.jpg
I can change the image, but I'll need for ComixJunky to put the file into the right folder when its ready. Should I just make it blank, or is there something you'd like to see there?
Seems there ought to be a way to add a full title to this forum. I'll look into that, too.
Either a title or plain, both better than what's there now IMO.
Jason
Hi Guys,
There's the 3 of us and IITravel, thats got Mod privladges.
He's done lots of good stuff, digging up reprint tells.
I'm hopeing he'll post his results in the Wiki.
Playing around, i find i preffer thumbnails leading to full jpgs, over full screen images mixed in the text.
Where we don't have text yet, a thumbnail is just a delay, use the large image. IMHO
I like the page templet.
I like how ya organized the topics/catagorys
I'll see if i can add a link to the wiki.
HA - I Got It First :P
Link to wiki is now on top of every page. :P
I been thinking,
Why is this thread private?
Why do we even have a private section?
I don't think it's healthy.
I don't think this thread is private.
Anyways, I've modified the original logo.jpg image, and removed the "Scribbles" name. This new image is named logo0.jpg. Place this file in...
/forum/Themes/scribbles11/images/img/logo0.jpg
Once that's done, I'll make the change in the code to point to the new file.
logo0.jpg (http://sirrealcomix.mrainey.com/remote/forum/logo0.jpg)
Just testing to see if I can get into this site.
Jay... Thank you for joining, it's nice to se you here!
We are just starting out, so bear with us.

I've uploaded logo0.jpg to that directory. You can change the code as ya like.
I think it's fewer steps if ya name it logo.jpg and overight the old logo during the upload. I've added our title and tried it that way too.
Your choice.
If we get a logo, we can change it again.
New logo look good, much better than "Scribbles". :P
