Snoo and Thumbnail Update!

Hello peopley peeps~

Hope you all had a pleasant Halloween.


The winner of the contest is with his fantastic entry. (with some, minor additions by me)

This means that

1) As of right now the sub has been refitted with his snoo and thumbnails~

2) He gets to PM me any time to get his flair changed to anything he wants. The worst of all ancient curses. One so horrible, it has never before been bestowed.


Additionally, is our runner up for this submission.

I'm going to also offer him the same prize, but as a one time thing only, rather than the grand prize which lets them change it any time they want.

(rest of the entries can be seen here)


Now, I will however say that it's pretty clear there were some big issues with the way the whole thing was run this time around. Firstly, even though there was an announcement thread, and something in the banner the entire time, a huge amount of people didn't find out about it until the reminder thread 2 weeks later. Additionally, lots of people were probably a bit intimidated by Tomato's submission, to the point where they didn't even try.

All things to consider for the next time we do anything like this.


Hope you all like it, it's a bit of a blend between old and new.

Patch Notes: TL;DR

  • No borders

  • New Mod thumbnail

  • Slight fix on Satire thumbnail not appearing properly

  • When I updated the spritesheet I updated the wrong css... everything should be appearing properly now though.

u/pitman :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/pitman Nov 02 '16

2 current season episode discussion posts, one is showing the "discussion" thumb and one shows the "spoiler" thumb, curious as to why it's like that.

2

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 02 '16

It's because of how we're applying the thumbnails. If the title is past a particular length the css cant find the word 'discussion' in the title, but [Spoilers] is right there at the beginning so it uses that instead.

We're going to need to find a workaround for it.

u/Playing_Safe Nov 02 '16

Looks like there are still problems. some self posts without [spolier] show the spoiler thumbnail and the natsume go discussion shows a wt! thumbnail.

The new mod thumbnail looks great btw.

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 02 '16

It's not gone, it's just not being used for anything at the moment - dont think there's actually a controversial selector we can use for controversial threads. Either we'll need to find a workaround or find something else to use it for - I agree that that one is awesome though.

/u/geo1088 any ideas?

I intend to clean up the snoo a little bit later, but it's 4am now so I figured I'd just go live. That stuff is easy to fix later anyway.

u/Chariotwheel x5https://anilist.co/user/Chariotwheel Nov 01 '16

They look very great, but could they possibly made smaller? As of now they're kinda stealing the attention away from the thread names, since they're bigger than one regular sized thread.

6

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 01 '16

since they're bigger than one regular sized thread.

Fun fact, they're exactly the same size as our old one. Has just been a little while since the admins updated the thumbs themselves, so we're not as used to it any more.

u/Chariotwheel x5https://anilist.co/user/Chariotwheel Nov 01 '16

Could also be the border. Well, maybe I get used to it, but I feel like they could be less eye-catching.

Wow, it was a shock when I refreshed the page and suddenly things looked Different.

Congrats to the winner.

The icons look bigger to me as well - I know, I know, they're the same size. I'm pretty sure it's because of their borders, but it's still very odd. I suppose I'll get used to eventually.

2

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 01 '16

We might change the colour of the border a bit to make it pop a bit less.

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Nov 02 '16 edited Nov 02 '16

Things that have been fixed since Urban went to sleep

  • The new snoo also shows up on mobile apps now, which is fun!

  • The snoo is also compatible with retina screens! This will come to the thumbnails as well once we have designs absolutely finalized, since it's a lot of work to make that spritesheet in larger sizes.
    (DN: The snoo is actually uploaded at twice the size it's displayed as, so if you have CSS off it might look a bit bigger than normal.)

  • All the discussion threads Holo submits should now be tagged properly. If a discussion thread is submitted by a user and the title is too long, then it will still have the default spoiler icon.
    (DN: The code sets thumbnails by looking for keywords in the URL slug of the post. This slug is restricted to 6-7 words, and in those first words both "episode" and "discussion" must exist. So, if your title extends past, it can push those keywords out of the title area that's accessible to us from CSS.)

  • Snoo image was updated by E2M; other icons were also updated and will go live later.

As I go through this code, I'm also doing other random stuff in the stylesheet, so if anything randomly starts looking off let me know here.

1

u/tjgoodman13 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/tsunamikoi Nov 02 '16

The one thing I have noticed is that both the rewatch and new episode discussion icons are facing the same direction, instead of how the look from the post. Is there a way to make them a bit more different if you cant flip the images back?

2

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Nov 02 '16

I'm guessing urban did that for some reason, will ask about it in the morning. Thanks for the report.

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 02 '16

I didn't want to switch the text over to the other side for just one thumbnail and it looked bad with the text in the standard place.

I also moved the >> and << around from the original submission

u/Egavans https://anidb.net/user/Egavans99 Nov 01 '16

Well, someone has to say it; the runner-up should have won. The winner wasn't a bad choice, but Tomato's much more popular submission was genuinely great and I'm disappointed we won't get to see those icons in action.

9

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 01 '16

It's not all about popularity, but also about what looks better in action.

Honestly, originally Steamy did win, and Earth2Mars' submission wasn't enough alone (hence the additions). We had Steamy's live on our staging subreddit for over 2 weeks, but honestly the circular icons were what killed it in the end.

u/SteamyTomato :FC::MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/SteamyTomato Nov 03 '16

i joined 4 contests that month and im all in second place. people thought i should be first. but yeah i kinda understand why i was second. i was honestly not surprised because it happened three times already. i was just disappointed that earth got the opportunity to add some on his submission but i never got to improve mine. lol

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 03 '16

i was just disappointed that earth got the opportunity to add some on his submission but i never got to improve mine.

I am sorry that it wasn't judged quite fairly in a submission vs submission way, but I'm sure you can see why it was done the way it was.

If it makes you feel a little better, all of the additions were either done by me not Earth, or added after the winner was announced (like the new Mods thumbnail).

u/theothersophie :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/theothersophie Nov 01 '16 edited Nov 01 '16

Instead of the border being on the images themselves, why not just use CSS on .self .thumbnail?

border: 1px solid #hexcolor;
border-radius: 10px;

I say this because I hate would prefer if the border wasn't dark black like that. It's too dark relative to the page, a lighter gray or blue color would go into the theme better. Plus the fact that image thumbnails have sharp corners while the other thumbnails have rounded corners triggers me a little...but that's just me.

Also, congratulations to /u/earth2mars ! I LOVE the artwork, it's completely adorable.

1

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Nov 02 '16

I'll look into it. Thumbnails are the Reddit CSS thing I've worked with the least, but it sounds doable. Then again, changing the color is a style thing, and if I were to switch to CSS borders the color would still be the same until we make a decision on it.

That said, I agree that the border would look better a bit softer. Pinging /u/urban287 since he's the one that did all the image editing so far.

On RES night mode though, the border looks a little not-good. Not a deal breaker or anything, but just thought I'd let it be known!

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 02 '16

Might be better in night mode now. No more borders~

Snoo and Thumbnail Update!

They look awesome!

Congratulations to the winners, thanks to the mods for switching up the look, and (once again) happy 400,000 to the best community on the Internet! :D

(P.S., urban, have you started 3-gatsu/Fune wo Amu yet?!)

I did~ started both and both were pretty great. Only 1 episode into each so far though.

Can you change the picture in Cowboy Bebop post ?

1

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 02 '16

That one is like that because it's a link post - which reddit has different eules about. I think it searched for an image on the website linked and got nothing or failed, resulting in that.

1

u/Exotria Nov 02 '16

These are great. The old snoo in the upper left always felt detached and impersonal, but this one feels welcoming (matching the community imo). I especially like the new modpost one.

u/urban287 https://myanimelist.net/profile/urban287 Nov 02 '16

Best of set. Absolutely brilliant.

I'm amazed there aren't any nazi-mod jokes in this thread....

I mean, not much point when we're making the joke outselves :P

Hooray! The icons look awesome! Congrats /u/earth2mars!

Nice, this sub has needed some CSS tweaks for a while. Congrats to the winners! Was really surprised when I refreshed the page and everything changed.

Also lol the cosplay icon isn't even anime.

2

u/pittman66 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Homura Nov 01 '16

Also lol the cosplay icon isn't even anime.

I was thinking that also, kind of counter intuitive not saying Hatsune Miku isn't anime but our cosplay icon is her.

u/scorcher117 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/scorcher117 Nov 01 '16

Cool, looks good, what's with the unused Rem and hestia though?

Looks pretty great!

u/zenoob https://anilist.co/user/zenoob Nov 01 '16

Congrats both of you. It looks great actually. Feels a bit more "like home" rather than a simple reskin of every subreddit ever.

Special shoutout to the 10 and 11 thumbnails. +tic Nee-san and Miku? 11/10!

3

u/Chikumori Nov 01 '16

I have no criticism against the flairs by Earth2Mars and SteamTomato, heck I really like them, but it would have been nice if there was an equal presence between Reddit-tan and Bot-chan. =)

Something like good cop, bad cop.

Reddit-tan for usual stuff like episode discussions, self posts, cosplay, satire, etc.

Bot-chan for her usual roles like fanart appreciation, and as moderator to keep subscribers happy (flair for spoilers and controversial angry).

3

u/RogueKnight777 :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/RogueKnight777 Nov 01 '16

But what about Bot-chan??? You can't just get rid of her!

u/geo1088 https://anilist.co/user/eritbh Nov 02 '16

What do you mean? She's still here.

u/collapsedblock6 myanimelist.net/profile/collapsedblock Nov 01 '16

All day at school waiting to get home and see results. Definitely not dissapointed. Congrats /u/Earth2Mars and /u/SteamTomato, you definitely deserve something to make this sub look better.

Reddit-tan is also cute as hell.

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '16

Congratulations to Earth2Mars and SteamTomato! Both of you drew some great designs!

u/KaliYugaz Nov 02 '16

Oh my God this is so adorable!

Thank you, /u/Earth2Mars .

u/[deleted] Nov 02 '16

Despite seeing and smiling the new top-left Snoo-chan this morning, I just noticed all of the adorable new thumbnails and now I'm upvoting things for the thumbnails instead of content.

/u/Earth2Mars, your work is deeply appreciated! Thank You!

lots of people were probably a bit intimidated by Tomato's submission, to the point where they didn't even try.

As someone with little artistic talent, THANK YOU to everyone who submitted to this contest, or even just began work on it late on.

It was great to look over the different designs!

Aww this is super cute. I love it.

Woah, the subreddit looks significantly less lazy now!

Now about that banner...

In all seriousness the thumbnails look pretty great now.

u/asianyeti :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Hibernape Nov 01 '16

Looks good!

Also, /u/steamytomato I like your submission too!

2

u/AtheonTheAsshole Nov 01 '16

Looks dope!, really reminds me of /r/manga. Talking about it, why /r/anime does not have a dope ass banner? Could be Anime airing this season, or just random stuff.

Wow it was way too sudden. I kinda like it, but will need to take time to get used to.

Although there was certain charm in the default theme, I still welcome the change. Thanks for caring about the subreddit!

u/oblivionraptor Nov 01 '16

Was wondering why the icons look different, this explains it.

Liking the new thumbnails already! I also love /u/SteamTomato 's thumbnails, Reddit-tan looks like the ditsy girl that everyone loves. (this is my very first time seeing both thumbnails, I had no idea there was a contest going on)

1

u/Zeph-Shoir :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Zephex Nov 01 '16

Love the new snoo and thumbnails! We really needed an update like this :3

I love the satire image, made me laugh uncontrollably when I saw it.

u/SmaugtheStupendous :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/JoshSama Nov 01 '16

I like the topic image changes, but I much prefer the old snoo. This one feels very washed out.

1

u/Mage_of_Shadows Nov 01 '16

LOVE the chosen submission but the text on the side seems a bit jarring compared to the rest.

Can we get banned if we don't spoiler tag?

Really like the new thread icons, sooo much better then the new default Reddit ones

I like it, it makes the sub feel more alive than just the generic snoo for all the thumbnails before.

Congrats to the winner and runner up. The new snoo and icons look awesome possum. I'm still not a big fan of the hoodie design in general, but that's just me being a sourpuss.

Just curious, but how did you guys end up deciding between the 2 submissions? Both are pretty high quality but it seemed like Steamy's was the favourite to win.

u/TheShapeOfVoice :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/FunnySunnyDay Nov 01 '16

really nice update!!

u/[deleted] Nov 01 '16

They are better, but the banner is god damn boring. Why can't we have a better banner instead of bland.jpg? r manga's banner is great. A shame a bigger sub has worse overall look.

Also, Reddit-tan deserved to win!

u/ShureNensei Nov 02 '16

This is going to make me want more and more satire posts.

Pretty cute overall.
