why dont you mod the board to include characters and maps like I did for the old hokuten board:

Looks nice. But as stated by others; it's going to make posts seem longer. You could try
1. Not use the Nation/Rank/Main/Sub info under the avatar and try to fit the job listings there (would have to be really small font).
2. Move the Nation/Rank/Main/Sub info into the signature.
3. Just disable signatures.

Oh! Might've missed it in your screenshot, but if you haven't, make a spot for LS names.

I'm also curious as to whether or not this is like those vanasigs or stuff we fill in? >.>

People may hate this, but I'd say ditch user avatar pictures and just put the level info there. So instead of 2 avatar-sized blocks, you only have one.

was thinking the same thing

This is why no one likes you.

Kidding

(not really)

(not really on the not really)

On the original note I think it's a tad bulky for people who dont say much to begin with.

[Misterjingles]

Or ditch the nations flag, I mean, what would happen if people have all 3 nations. Plus I like my hado gay avatar ._. Is it possible to have the jobs and user sig on the same line?

[Sonomaa]

oh yeah, I think its way too big, were working on trimming it down

dont worry, it wont go live without having some slimfast diet to strip out some fat and make the important parts pretty

[Minions]

cant wait

[Khamsin]

Personally, the only info I would consider worth seeing (in the interest of trimming it down) is:

37+ Jobs
60+ Crafts
What you consider to be your main job/sub (no need to show level, as its already shown in the job listing)
Server
Linkshell

I agree that no one cares about your rank, and I would go so far as to say there's no need to show your nation flags, either

[Gulkeeva]

For a bit I was staring at the mithra like... hmm tease... *stare* mmm mithra.

[SassiAsura]

...KI have a decent one... right?

[Aodh]

Seeing the 2nd post from Ragns... he posted one sentence and his whole post is like 15x bigger then the actual sentence. Maybe put Server, Rank infos ect also under the jobs in the signature under the signature?

Personally, I would take out rank completly off it. Other information are useful and interesting, but I dont think anyone care about rank since 2005.

Rank and Nation. Don't really care what nation people are currently on. >.>;

[Jeryhn]

My only problem with the thing is that its too "texty". Can't think of a better word to describe it.

Remember the little "awards" (eg, the little JPG icons) that BG gave to linkshells on the good ol' Big Kills thing? lolBigKills, I know, but perhaps instead of things that display Rank, Nation, Mission, etc, why not make a row of small little icons (10x10, probably too small, but work with me here) that represent things like acquiring Rank 10 in a nation, or completing an expansion, or completing all available Assaults? Then in the character profile section, just put a toggle on-off switch for each.

Example:

- In profile, you toggle "yes" for reaching rank 10 in San d'Oria.
In your signature, a small Sandy flag with a 10 over it appears (like how it appears ingame when you search for someone who's rank 10 in Sandy).

Repeat this little function for various achievements. Only problem I can forsee is that it might become a little graphics-intensive, but that can be mitigated by not including too many "achievements".

Also, this is an endgame forum. Only jobs at 75 and crafts at 90+ should be displayed. Leaving that as text is fine.

Don't hate me, I used to be in the Boy Scouts and this reminded me of the badges.

Ninja Edit: A more visual example: Go to KI and look under the Missions heading for an appropriate icon size to get a better sense of what I'm talking about.

[tyraravenlocke]

I agree with the comment made about Rank/Nation. Neither of those are particularly interesting to know about a player and it looks like it'll save some space if they are removed too. Perhaps replace them with Linkshell and Total Merits instead?

Just a thought.

I gotta agree on this point, and I do think that linkshell would be very pertinent and interesting information.

[Lordwafik]

I agree too. Allakhazam cares about nations and ranks, because those are the only things you can level up without being elitist, we care about merits and LS! Go go go put those in.

[Sonomaa]

going to see about replacing the job names with the FFT equivlents, anyone have a good shot of them all?

Do you mean sprites? Try this:

Bonus Link, some quick googling came up with this too:

[Skjie]

FFV totally had the best sprites >.>

[Priran]

you could also "borrow" the ones KI uses for its job forums

[Khamsin]

Yeah, go with FFV, which most of the FFXI AF and jobs were based on, not FFT (which also borrowed FFV jobs/looks).

Especially Butz's sprites, which are the classic look.
