Title: Alias Tags in MxO Forums
Post by: Anonymous on January 18, 2005, 10:16:22 am: I've noticed that certain people have linked small gifs as their alias' in the MxO Forums. It might be cool if we all had Alias Tags, similar to our Dog Tags but without all the major customization that each member has had on their dogtags. Maybe only slight customization for certain things. Perhaps including the FA Logo in all of them, but color coded for Commander, Captain, First Mate, & Crewmember.

Anyone?

Sorry Beleev, the talented ones never get a break... :D

EDIT: Kinda like this... (http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v335/onekairos/KairosAliasTag.gif)

I checked the dimensions on the 'ADMIN' tag the Devs have and its 119 x 59. I added a 3rd pic to my 1st post & stuck it in the forums, but I get this stupid purple border around it. I've seen a blue border around someone elses, & one with no border but I can't for the life of me get rid of this purple freakin box. The dimensions on my tag are 125 x 50, so not too bad compared to the dev tag...

Got to make sure that my name can fit! If you can draw me up a version, that would be swell.

Something simple like just the FA symbol and the name. We could either color code the names to reflect rank or just have colors that match with each member's sig.

For now I've just put a simplified version of my sig as an alias.
