QUOTE (djellison @ Jan 9 2006, 04:31 PM) There is a 'ranking' system in some forum software, a thread can get a thumbs up as it were - but it's a bit pointless and I'd rather not load the server with things like that. I got bored at work today waiting for a DVD to burn so I made the new logo - not sure exactly how to finish it off though - I'm still thinking of perhaps a little line under the UMSF to say something - or a hit of some gfx, not sure what.  Making a new logo for this theme, seemed a lot easier than making a theme for the old logo  Doug  Nice touch with the symbols from the Pioneer Plaque - though you should update them a bit by adding rings to Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, and making Pluto smaller while adding a few new larger circles to its right. http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/spacecraft/images/image006.gif -------------------- "After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance. I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard, and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft." - Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853 |

QUOTE (djellison @ Jan 10 2006, 12:10 AM) I could replaced 'banned' with 'polar lander' That would work! I was also trying to think of a way to do the member levels like a mission timeline, noobs would be preflight or concept stage, then launch and cruise, etc, but I wasn't sure what to do when I got to "Orbital Insertion." BTW, I do like the subtle logo change - very nice. -------------------- Lyford Rome

Even if the names were a bit obscure to some people they could still count the pips on number of posts.
Where in the ratings would Beagle 2 fall (opps pun) Reckless

Astonishingly (to me), this is my 2,000th post on UMSF!
Again, let me express my thanks to Doug for his selfless devotion to the cause (or was that 'foolish enthusiasm'? Hmmmmm...) of unmanned spaceflight and to all the other contributors for their, er, contributions. Doug said a while back that at 5,000 posts you are considered 'in with the woodwork' - a nice comment, until you think about woodworm, termites and damp-related fungal infestations! I hope you are all about, and that I am too, when that day dawns and the pest exterminators are finally called in. Onward!
