New Customs Layout - Details Inside

**Tony_Bacala** · 08-03-2010, 11:48 PM

We have upgraded the Tank's Custom area, giving it some room to breathe and add some upgrades in the process.

We now have several customs forums...

Customs Finished Projects - This is where you post your final custom, when it's fully done, to show it off to the world!

Customs Works In Progress - If you are working on a custom, and it's not done yet, but want to show off your progress, post it in here! You can either ask a mod to move it when done, or, start a new thread for your finished version!

Customs General Discussion - Use this as your catch all Customs place for discussion. Use it for Project Talk, Questions and Answers, How To Guides, and any other Customs-oriented Discussion that doesn't fit above.

G.I. Joe Customs Contests - Any time we hold a contest at HissTank featuring customs, the entries will go in here.

Other changes of note....

Thumbnails on the thread listings - We now have thumbnails on the thread listings, so people can see a preview of the custom before going into the thread. Enhances browsing overall for the casual fan that likes to look at your stuff!

Required Attachments - In order for the thumbnail deal above to work, we need you to attach at least 1 picture to your first post using the in-house attachment system. After that, you can use Photobucket or any other hosting option. Check this thread for more details.

Prefixes - You now have to choose what type of custom you are posting a thread about when creating a thread. The options are:

Figures
Vehicles
Dioramas
Non G.I. Joe

Prefix Sorting On Top of Thread List - When looking at the customs forums, you can now choose to sort the threads, and only show the kinds of customs you are interested in seeing. Only looking for Diorama posts - just choose that and click "Show Threads" and bam, all right there.

I know this may be a bit to take in, and hardcore regular users may not like all the extra stuff we just added, but the goal is to increase visibility for your stuff that you work so hard on, and make the overall Customs area easier to use for newbies.

We will do our best to help you through the changes, and if you have any questions, comments or concerns, feel free to post here. Enjoy!

I'm surprised I'm the first comment on this, but overall I like it.
Works like sister-site TFW now.

A few changes since I've been gone. I like the new separation of threads and esp the thumbnails.
