Under Construction!

Watch your step! The PixelCount community is still a construction zone at the moment!

Thanks for dropping by and checking out our brand new community. Currently I'm busy adding in new trinkets and features for all you lovelies to enjoy so be sure to let me know if you find anything that's not working properly or needs polishing up. Here are some of the things I'm working on currently:

Badges
This is what I'm actively adding in as we speak. This will give members badges that distinguish Backer, Developer, and so on.

Reward System
These forums have a handy reward system which allows members to get access to fun little features for being active around the community. With these rewards users can unlock things like nifty profile customization, animated avatars, and more.

Smilies
I love smilies. And so do you. :awesome: I've got a ton of my own custom smilies that I've hand made that I'll be adding in over time. We have quite a few added in already but they need to get organized a bit - plus, I've got even more smilies to add!

Theming
Fully customizing a forum is a long and arduous process that will continue to take a couple of weeks to do up to my standards. Work on this will continue for some time.

Among Other Things
There's much more I'll be doing in the coming days and weeks - this is just a small taste. All that to say, these forums will continue to be a work in progress so, as always, feel free to pass on any feedback or ideas you have. And in the meantime be sure to report any problems or snafus here in the Site Feedback subforum. Many thanks!

One thing I really loved on the Lionhead forums that was introduced after a while was a "Liking" system. No dislikes, just likes for posts that people wanted to support etc :)

Ah yes, that's definitely on its way! ^^ I'm a big fan of encouraging positivity in online communities - no 'dislikes' here! I'll be tackling this immediately after I'm done getting the badges set up, so sometime next week more than likely. Thanks Lee!

I'm thrilled to see such an emphasis on community building. The forums are already fleshing out nicely (the background really makes me hungry for more Kynseed art.) The mobile version is bare-bones vBulletin at the moment, but I'm sure polishing it up is on the to-do list.

The forum is beautiful QAQQ
I'm so happy! :nyan:

Looks good for a brand new operation. I look forward to being a part of this community.

Hi!
I really like the site so far yet I had a few "issues".

Time Zones: I couldn't find my country on the list so I had to pick a different one with the same timezone.

Terms/Conditions: The window was small for me, it made reading the terms uneasy.

That's it! Thank you for creating Kynseed!

Hi, just wanted to let you know that I really like where this is going, keep it up devs! I look forward to be on this forum until and after launch.

In the Profiles section, I don't think some of the options are so relevant. More so that this is a game and not a social project. If I might be so bold, but could you add Discord, Twitter, YouTube and other sections? Please and Thank you.

If not, may I know why not? Again, thank you.

Whoa, you can reply without being logged in? That miiight be something that needs to be locked down before bots and trolls take shameless advantage.

Edit: Another thing I noticed is that users can report Staff/Moderator's posts (at least on the mobile site). I'm not sure if that's intended or not, but that's something that potentionally be abused. I might be overly cautious, but I've been part of communities before where members of the moderation team were targeted for harassment with existing forum tools.

Login system is kind of strange. I'm not getting confirmation mail since yesterday but I can login, it welcome me, and not log me in. Sometime it log me in, and I can even access general profile setting. It force me to login page when I try to access editing email though, really, just to make sure I type my mail coreectly, which should be the case. Could anyone please check confirmation system for me?

Edit: whoa, the forum forbid me to use registered member name. Now that's neat aside from the fact that it's my name that is unconfirm!

Are you able to send Matt a message? If you can make sure to add the email you've registered with.

Yeah, I noticed the same thing just yesterday. I'll work on getting that sorted out in an upcoming community update. Cheers!

Ah yeah, the Community Guidelines window? I noticed the same thing. I'll add it to the ol' To-Do list. Thanks!

Yeah, some of those sections are part of the stock profile options of the forum software. Adding more game-centric profile fields is definitely something I'd like to do soon, in addition to the social media options you mentioned. Thanks for the feedback!

Hmmm, interesting. Might be an issue with the permissions settings. See if you can send me a PM to tell me what your email is (just so I can confirm it) and then I'll manually activate your account. If you can't send me a PM then just reach out to me on Twitter or email me directly at Matt@PixelCountStudios.com. Sorry for the hassle!

Finally, the badges!
I like them. They just give the forum more of a forum-feeling I guess. :P
Already curious as of what the next levels after Tenderfoot, Wanderer, Greenhorn, Novice and Explorer are going to be. :think:

Aaaay for forum badges.
I'm curious about the level names too tbh. :3c
(Though part of me really likes the Wanderer title, and doesn't want to go past it.)

Yup, got the badges up and running finally! :party: Also added a few other little bits and bobs here and there. I'll be making a post this week going into how user titles and ranks work. Also been a bunch of little improvements in general made as well, so I might toss a 'Change Log' into this subforum for anyone who finds that sorta stuff interesting. More changes to come of course!

Heh, I know what you mean. And glad ya like them! Made them myself in good ol' of Photoshop. They're somewhat based off of the 2005-era Lionhead forum's badges. I actually have a ton of little nods to the old Lionhead community on these forums - mostly just little things like that. Here's what those old badges looked like, by the way. (This'll be a crazy blast from the past for any 2005-era Lionhead community members on here lurking.)

Sure, I'd love that!

Also, have the particles in the forum background been moving all the time?
Only noticed that now :orly:

I remember those. By the time i joined a believe the system was removed but older forum members still had karma ratings.

Cool, I'll get something posted this week then. And yeah, I added the particle effects in the latest big update I did! I intentionally didn't mention it to see if anybody would notice, haha. Even took Neal a day or two to notice. :P It's some very lightweight javascript that has almost no impact on site load time but but produces, in my opinion, a very cozy effect.

Had no idea you'd been around for that long, Osyrus! What was your username back then? And sounds like you joined shortly after Lionhead moved to an entirely new forum software, so the badges you likely remember seeing are these:

I'm a bit of a Lionhead hoarder and have archived historical files from the many years that the Lionhead community existed. So I've got soooo many files like these just hanging out on a hard drive.

It was captainPATstarr back in those days. I joined after the release of Fable II.

This is probably a long shot and I know it was at the very end of the forums but you don't happen to have the fable legends fan fiction contest story enteries do you? I had written one and the laptop I wrote it on crashed hard and I lost it...

I have the actual book.

That's awesome! I didn't realize the book was ever made. I'm not sure that mine made the cut for it. I regret not having a back up copy. I thought I was onto something with the story but it got a little muddled when I tried to add some of the Legends elements. I'd love to rework it a bit and turn it into something...

I will try dig it out and have a look now.

I found it....stories are by MoriBenAiki, EmeraldSage, Leej2512, ToddQuest and WesGreenMcQueen

Unfortunately mine is not there. I thought that might be the case. I believe those were all the winners. I specifically remember Wes' gave leech a back story. It was really great!

I really appreciate you taking a look! I can already see Kynseed stirring ups some creative thoughts about what adventures might take place.

So I just added the most amazing BB code to these forums for absolutely no reason at all. Behold.

:megusta:     welcome to my 90's website lol     :megusta:

     i gotta say that's pretty rad

Huzzah! You found the first of many forum easter eggs that I've hidden around. ;)
