Nonplayer backgrounds test idea/suggestion.Ridiculous.

Hi everybody.

The more I look at this, the more of a stupid idea I think it is. It's basically ridiculous and will never happen. Any way to delete this post.. ](*,)

For me…I’m not a fan of the backgrounds (multiple headshots), the font (I think the font needs to be more uniform overall, the differences are to jarring to the eye) & in particular the busyness of the screens. No offense intended

I think everything you’re adding really belongs in the already existing History and Bio sections.
I think what would be nice would be being able to input Staff History and Bio Information (currently History can’t be added, and Bio Information "happens automatically" and can't be directly edited either), but that involves SI/Riz making it editable.

Along with being able to edit Staff History and Bio Information I also think it’d be great if Player Stats were kept when a player becomes a Staff

Hi nino

I totally agree with you on the fonts being a mess and that it has to be implemented in the game itself. It becomes very busy to look at and hurts the eyes, and is kind of pointless with the dimming.
It belongs on one page on it's own and that's my original hope will happen. This way doesn't work since it affects all the screens/pages and is just a mess.
I'm glad too, that you don't like the multipicture background, course it will save a bunch of time making... :nod:
The multipicture thing is only when I can't find a big enough picture. Sitting joggling with all these small pics just to fill the whole page is a pain and becomes messy. That's why not all of them have multipictures. Sometimes I'm lucky.
But I think it looks even worse when the background pic is streched left and right or up and down, or both, endning up so distorted that one can't even recognize the person. (Definitely don't like that.) Plus the quality, if not big enough,
is streched out so much just to make it fit, looks even worse.
Problem for me is that I find it hard to find big pictures of less known nonplayers, and if I do the head is behind the graphics. (meaning that if you can't see his face on the background, why have it?)
Either behind text or the stats. Of course we have the profile picture but still.. :-)
So, all in all, I agree with you... :-)

Thanks for sharing your opinion, it's much appreciated... :thup:

Any way to delete this thread-post, whatever. I've come to the conclusion that the info/background I presented was the most ridiculous idea ever... ](*,)

I think it's a shame you deleted your post. You made some interesting points.

Well, with all the questions in mind I came to the conclusion that it was of no use since it can't be limited to only one page without the dimming. I could of course put it back, but all in all I think it turned out to be a bit silly... ](*,)
And I think others did too,so therefore my conclusion. But if you want me to put it back I will do so. But you have to admit that it, as the state the different pages are in at the moment (Backgroound connected), it's a total miss.
As nino commented it hurts the eyes an affects all other pages. Unless there's a way to implement the data, I see no point in it, at least not as hardcoded on the background pics.
