Could the campaign threads be cleared out now that we have an elephant tending Forest? They could be archived and placed into a dispatch or something.

Mount Seymour

Turbeaux I can make anything with the "elections" tag no longer listed on the main page, if that works.

Turbeaux

Mount Seymour Sure! As a child of two librarians, I oppose destruction of information.

Areulder

Could we use something other then an airplane for ambassadors? They're not very environmentally friendly.

Uan-aa-Boa

Areulder I was joking about that in another thread but yes, I second that! To be fair, I think Seymour has to chose them from a fairly limited selection.

Turbeaux

Areulder They could be human-powered though.

Uan-aa-Boa To be fair, I think Seymour has to chose them from a fairly limited selection.

I actually have over 600 icons to choose from, but many of them are arrows and menu icons and things:

Here are some options, choose your favorite:
building(like the embassy icon on NS)
globe
suitcase

Soylent jet fuel is people!

Turbeaux

Mount Seymour The Earth one is kinda neat. Buildings have no place in a forest and suitcases enable fossil fuel intensive travel..
EDIT: l rather like the atlas one too.
I am not being allowed to link it within my text so here it is: https://fontawesome.com/icons/atlas?style=solid

Mount Seymour

Turbeaux Unfortunately fa-atlas looks to be one that was added in FA 5.1, meaning it's not going to be available for me to use here (I think the current software only has up to FA 4.0, though I assume that will change with the next update).

Turbeaux

Mount Seymour Earth for sure then!

Areulder

I went and looked if they had a dove and they do! That would be my pick. https://fontawesome.com/icons/dove?style=solid

Turbeaux

Areulder It is version 5.something and MS only has access to 4.0 currently. Definitely one to consider in the future though!

Mount Seymour

I’ve changed it to a globe globe, but if/when we get access to 5.0 I’ll consider the atlas or the dove as well. ?

Turbeaux

Mount Seymour Looks good!

Mount Seymour

I've added a more decorative font (Macondo, which I've used for Forestian things before because of its nature-y look) for h1, h2, and h3s.

Caracasus

The letters are far easier to read with my pain in the arse dyslexia as they are slightly weighted. I don't know if that played into your considerations for this, but thank you regardless.

TheCypherNine

I honestly feel like there are too many games on the front page lol, hard to get to the committees.

Mount Seymour

TheCypherNine That is what the tags are for (e.g. https://forest.freeflarum.com/t/regional-government) to just see government stuff, but I recognize that's not ideal. There is also the main tags page, https://forest.freeflarum.com/tags, which can serve as a main page if we wanted. We could remove 'Fun' tagged threads off of the main page (they'd be only accessible via the Fun tag), but that would do a big hit to our apparent activity.

Adding new extensions is currently on hold for FreeFlarum, but once the new version of Flarum comes out we'll get a bunch of new extensions available, almost certainly including one which allows the main page to look a bit more like a traditional forum, with different categories for different topics.

Turbeaux

Mount Seymour In the meantime, could you hide WA threads from the main page after voting has concluded on them like you did with the campaign threads?
