Ok guys, we are starting to do some major updates to the site. Demon Fox and I have started to work at this, but we realized we definitely are going to need more people in order to do this, at least if we don't want to go crazy.
We are changing the layout of the category pages on Anime Fuel. To give you an idea of what the end result will be, Demon added the theme we are gonna use to another site we are working on, Anime Keeper. Take a look:
(these pages are just examples for what will look like, pay no attention to where the links lead, these are examples)
New Episodes Page:
http://animekeeper.com/index.php?wptheme=animefuel
We are adding a new link on the home page at the top for Newest Episodes. People will see the newest episodes added, and category icons will be added to the categories so a little picture will appear next to them.
Category Pages:
http://animekeeper.com/category/code-geass-r2/
http://animekeeper.com/category/death-note/
The category pages font has already been changed, and they will be modified to include a picture of the anime, a banner picture. The small icons will appear by the posts as well.
So, the thing we need help on is getting the pictures. This is going to be a tremendous task, as there are a LOT of series to cover. For each series, we are going to try and get an icon picture, and a banner picture. If you want to help, just find the pictures somewhere online (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ is good for finding the smaller ones, Google images and photobucket can be good for the banners) and find pictures that do a good job of depicting the series, and resize and/or crop them to the follow sizes (They have to be EXACTLY this size, so the picture you find before resizing/cropping it will need to at least these sizes)
Icon Pictures: 68 x 57 pixels
Banner Pictures: 617 x 150 pixels
They can be jpg/jpeg, gif, or png, it matters not. (Any photo editor is fine, the pictures just need to be resized and/or cropped to the above sizes)
If you intend on helping out, reply to this thread or contact me or Demon fox via pm or MSN. Tell us which anime/s you will cut pictures for, and we'll tell you whether or not that one has pictures already. Once you have found suitable photos and made them the appropriate sizes, you can either email one of us the pictures, send them over msn, or put them on a photo hosting site like photobucket or imageshack and give us the link. You can also post the picture on an album on the forum ONLY if it is the small icon picture, as the banner pictures are too big for the albums, and will resize if you add them.
Once you send us your pictures, we will upload and add them to the categories. You WILL NOT be able to see the pictures on site categories until we switch over to the new format, which we won't do until we have at least a good bit of series with pictures, if not all of them. Hopefully we can change in about a week, depending on how many pictures we can add and how many people help us.
So please, help us out! Help us add these pictures so we can update the site soon! ANY HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED!
