You are, as you say, The Man.

I like that badge too. While I wasn't overly sold on the blue/brown arcs like that, it works.

So... I think I've found the right balance for badges (although they're probably a bit too bright on windowbg2 but it has to be seen whether it'll be the same on Weaving), what do you think of the new Dev and Friend badges..?
Do they look cool or do they suck? Are they boring, sad, exciting?

So... Using these from now on? :)

Updated all badges with the new style.
Not super-happy with Consultant (it lacks a bit of contrast with the background) and Moderator (green is too bright), but I guess nobody would notice without me pointing it out... I can always redo them later, as I've saved all of the needed files.

Can I ask you to make the 'n' in consultant badge black so as to properly spell out the first syllable?

Good to know, I need as much feedback as possible... ;)
(Heck, even if it's a comment on the difference between the logo in badges and the logo in signatures, because yes they're slightly different on the left, that would be useful.)

I studied it briefly in the 1990s but don't remember very much except my amusement at discovering the word for cupboard is similar to a profanity.

I think it makes a difference having them in use vs having them attached to a thread, really.

Studying Spanish taught me more about English than 12 years of school lessons :)

Are we still talking about the badges? If so then (now I'm used to them) I like them, and I like the two coloured things to the left of the words - kind of like the show-off feathers that some birds have.

I think we're talking about both, I'm not sure myself... ;)

I'm doing other tests with a similar font that has more... 'peculiarities' of its own. I still like the current one best, though...
As for the logo (the 'two coloured things on the left'), it represents whatever you want it to be -- a rainbow, water/dust in the trail of a text string moving very quickly in your imagination, feathers, wings, a mountain, a random object split in two by a wedge... Whatever suits you best :P

Pete -- looking at your latest commits... Can you confirm that you added no extra strings to the English version? I've checked them all and it looks like it's only about splitting strings into a string + subtext, and you did it all for the French version... (Thankfully :lol:)

(Oh, and the <options> thing is broken... I've fixed it locally. Sorry.)
