That's some nice bling, Ren. Should we make them stop after a couple rotations though? Is that possible?

yeah, i think you can set the number of rotations in the gif, not certain tho ill test it out

Beautiful. Something needed to be done and this is much more than just something. Great work.

I can't wait to get them all up and running. Will it be possible (and/or necessary) to also do the big red probation P and the red termination circle-slash?

Great idea (I was looking into modifying the VideoSift images myself, last night!) Can I suggest we have non-animated PNG format one's too (Portable Network Graphics allow full range of opacity - not the on/off transparency that GIFs support). P.S: GIFs allow a continuous loop or single run of it's animated layers - will need to duplicate the one full rotation as many times as you need it to spin.

Not in IE. Haven't checked if they're changing that in v7, though.

Let's just ignore IE (only browser my Profile doesn't work with, on both PC & Mac!) Even IE7 doesn't fully support W3C standards (CSS2 etc) - EVERYONE NEEDS FIREFOX!

As much as I'd love to just blackball IE, the vast majority of web users (even here on the Sift) are IE users. I don't think we will ever see a day when MS will adhere to all standards (on and off the web), but we have a responsibility to all Sifters to offer the best possible Siftsperience. (Boy, I sound like a Smurf.)

I'll make for each colour type tomorrow, and one for the diamond 250 and one for the 100 gold (ill work something out for the P's)

I was joking Lucky: I know only too well about the large number of internet users who are stuck in the early 90's. Unfortunately, I realise others aren't so knowledgable about the lack of standards in Microsoft products (hopefully, a miniscule amount less after reading this SiftTalk!)

Oh, yeah: the rest of the graphics could do with a with a clipping of white too; like voting panel, channels & a couple of logos (maybe difficult with drop shadows). Why I thought an optional PNG scheme maybe good, as there's no white to edit out...more than willing to help out if needed!?

On a similar not, I notice that the "Channel Sift" graphics aren't transparent, but have a white background... (very nitpicky)

Yeah benjee I just noticed those, if the guys send me the originals I can crop the white edges, but i'm sure they can do that themselves, even the category text images need to have the same treatment
