As you've doubtless noticed, we've redesigned our forum to have a new look. The rest of the site shouldn't be too far behind. Look for changes in the next week or so.
For regular patrons, you'll surely notice that our new theming is much more generalized, encompassing Frank's entire career and in particular, his Catholics-era work. There are hints of things to come as well as references to what has passed. We hope you'll agree that this is an improvement over the Show Me Your Tears theme of old, which was becoming increasingly dated.
While we will probably be under construction for the next week or so as we implement the new design, please feel free to post your thoughts on the new look here
And while you're at it, be sure to give a big pat on the back to our tireless art team, who have worked, well, tirelessly. In alphabetical order, Active Duck, Apl4Eris, Daisy Girl, Frank Black Conspiracy, Starmekitten, thanks for a fantastic job and all the hard work! Dave & I appreciate it greatly as will, hopefully, everyone else. I hope I didn't miss anyone.
A few notes:
1) Some of you may notice that you now have less bees than you had kitties. Because the numbers have been climbing for members' post counts, the value of a bee has been increased in some cases.
2) The log in/out buttons will be changed over tomorrow, as well as the "Go!" button on the members' screen.
3) The purple kitties that forum admins have will be white.
4) The bar at the bottom (-= Frank Black Forum =- (C) 2002-2005 Frank Black Fans, Inc) will be recoloured or made transparent eventually.
Again, thanks to everyone who worked on this, so very much. I hope that with a little more work we'll be able to bring you the main site update soon. Also, thanks to everyone (Dayna, PixieSteve, Broken Face, and doubtless others) who popped in to give their opinions as we developed this.
We hope you enjoy the new look!

Just in case you guys had forgotten, the locked sticky icon needs switching from purple, If I remember rightly active duck posted that icon in the other graphics thread (suggestions section) |

Hey Froggie, I've missed you!
Ok Dave, sounds cool. I've got other pics in the same vein if anyone's interested.
On that note, I've been talking a little with Simon Larbalestier and I just relaized, it would be very cool to have a link to his site somewhere in the forum, just as an info type deal. I haven't run it by him yet, but he would probably be pleased. If you think it's worhtwhile, I'll ask him.
His new photos in Cambodia and Thailand are absolutely beautiful. He made a thread a while back in the Pixies news section about a recent show in the States:

An "icon" file extension.
So far, I can't take any credit for any of the hard work on the site's design. I think there was supposed to be a typewriter photo put somewhere, but I don't see it. Not important at all really, just keepin' the record straight. :) |

I just noticed the main page of the site still has the old design. Are there any plans to change it to the new one?

On internet explorer in the address bar, next to forum.frankblack.net there's still a cat logo. Is there any way to change that to a bee?

But you can have the same number of bees and different colour. So that gives more than 5 ranks.
What's the sequence of colour changes for each bee number? Or is it random?
btw, this is crap. i lost two cats for no bee. |

Posted - 04/16/2005 : 09:41:06
In my mind the bees are only allocated when you say or post things that Frank would be either agree with or be proud of.
I've not decided what the colour changing comes from.
The only way to get rid of temptation is to yield to it. |

re: bees - yep, random #'s.. I was thinking if anyone guesses what they are, they get a prize....but i'm really bad with prizes, so scratch that. =P
We *could* have more bees, but i'd have to reprogram the Forum a bit, and i'm not up for that. If someone was really keen, they could download the code from Snitz.com and send me the appropriate code changes. Five (technically six) different levels seem pretty good.

I hope this is the thread to express A HUGE, HUGE, HUGE, THANK YOU for the one-of-a-kind website for The Man that you all have unveiled. One that is as grand as He Himself.
You guys and gals really outdid yourselves here and it is much appreciated. Thank you so much for all of your hard work and countless hours.
Certainly, something to be proud of. Your birthday present to Charles, if you will. You know he must be so proud of the new look!!!!!

Heh, no, probably not. We could change some of the names around, but I don't know to what and would it really matter anyway? It's only a matter of time before SOMEONE has 5 bees...

I guess the ranks weren't devised with some of the posters we have here in mind.

I'd love to have more ranks but unfortunately, there's no way to do it.

If it seems to difficult to get bees/if anybody really cares, I may make it a little more lax.
I just think there should be more ranks. I mean, weren't all of the higher posters already Denizens of the Citizens' Band for long enough?
I DO think there should be more to work toward, but if it's just "Fifth Catholic" again, it's not all that special.

I don't think the bees should be explained.
That way it's more of a suprise instead of some weird goal.

What are the new limits to get extra bees? I checked the members page and it's all weird. Carolynanana has 4661 posts and 3 bees, and VoVat has 4897 and 4 bees.
Personally I'm happy with my 3 bees cause the orange ones look better than the blue.

I love the new look - everything about it. The bees are inspired, in fact the whole thing is inspired. I love the splash page too - Frank can NEVER be too big and Shine I've been looking for a shirt like that since I saw the great man himself wearing it over a year ago now.
