GOD i am so AMPED go click istra's profile right there!! it's got the HOT NEW LAYOUT i mentioned!! and it's REAL GOOD!!!!!!!!!

it's got tabs!! it's got foundation icons!! it's got more quotes!! it's got more alt text!! it's got the disgaea table because i found out it was just the WYSIWYG editor that was breaking it and i can't use that for this profile anyway!! it's got a tags section awkwardly sitting there because i can't figure out how to extend it!! i got this perfectly nice layout and spent 9 hours reorganizing it and adding/taking out stuff to suit my whims!!

there's also some new content for istra! it's largely copypasted from their previous profile, but:

• new quotes!
• new alt text in the attributes section and a tweak or two in relationships!
• really quite a few tweaks and edits throughout the main profile
• settings tab is all new!
• new entries in the game equivalents section of the stats tab!
• move info added to the pokemon table in stats!
• d&d stat table is all new!

and that's about it, pretty easy to catch up on! now for some other notes about this new layout:

• i use the default theme but honestly it looks a lot nicer on other themes... the struggle
• the pics in attributes will probably vary, some will just be avatars, others will be 3 close-ups of the same image, some will be 2 close-ups and some other image, sometimes they'll be intentionally silly... istra, for example, has more than enough pics to have 3 unique images for that section but i thought it'd be more fun to have Alt Text Jokes(tm)
• on that note god im so in love with the sheer amount of flavor text this layout allows for... between the header quotes, alt text on all of the images, and the relationship tables any given person will be able to walk away from my profiles knowing exactly what that character acts like and i LOVE IT
• im really emphasizing that alt text bc it's not something most people check for... please poke my ocs
• i'm not very proud of the trivia section... it looks so cluttered and messy compared to everything else. i thought about making a trivia tab since there are certainly enough sections for it, but it turns out when you go to post IC or make links all of your tabs show up... sooooo yeah i don't want to add any more tabs than i already have so unfortunately the trivia section will remain a clunky part of an otherwise sleek and shiny layout ;_;7
• for the same reason the generator gallery tab is tentatively canceled! shout-out to the people who gave me good ideas for it in my last bulletin, though. if th ever makes an option that allows you to not have tabs show up there i'll probably make that and a trivia tab!

and uhhh i think that's about all i wanted to say! if there are any glaring errors or typos, please let me know!! enjoy poking every image to unlock more epic dialogue. god i love writing dialogue

OH WAIT almost forgot to mention that my priority is gonna be making new profiles for a while despite everything with profiles v3 and v4 being horribly broken atm... unlike istra's which broke bc i switched on legacy they can still be read (aside from the summary section in v3 but eh) but God i'm so behind on profile uploading and updating i'm just gonna leave those alone for now because they're Technically done and hope th fixes anchors soon

also miitopia comes out tonight/tomorrow so really that's a moot point bc soon i'll just be playing that for the rest of my life, RIP profiles it was nice knowing you

First things first, tabs! A big thanks to everyone who showed off their tabs in my last bulletin - now I have a good idea of what they can do!

1a.)  Ara now has a basic tab for her magical girl form and Larya now has a basic tab for her "Tayl" form. Check 'em out!

1b.)  I'm thinking about making everyone a basic tab for generated images, AKA pictures of them that were made in DreamSelfy, Rinmaru, different video games, etc. I like having them uploaded since they can often show a lot of personality (Bonnie's gallery is a good example) or are just pretty funny (Thyx has even more I haven't uploaded!) I also have a lot more silly Rinmarus of people I haven't uploaded and various screenshots from games I haven't uploaded because they're not the best references for characters, but I'd like to be a completionist and have everything around. Plus, having them in the main gallery can make things cluttered and disorganized; Dicro doesn't have everything uploaded but he has so many things up already that I'm not sure if I should organize later parts of the gallery by what's the best reference or by art vs dollmakers. Like, would people be offended if I put generator art in front of their art bc their art isn't colored or isn't an accurate ref of them...?? The eternal question, easily solved by splitting the two!

HOWEVER, this'll have the side effect of making quite a few characters' main galleries almost totally empty and/or mostly just doodles/sketches since a lot of my references are dollmaker things. Euanthe is a good example of this, since her primary reference is from DreamSelfy and she has only two images that aren't from a dollmaker or game. Chalcedony also poses issues, since while she has other art, her original DreamSelfy pic is a perfect reference and would be put in a gallery most people won't bother to look at. Not an issue for commissions since you just link the ref independently, but I imagine it could be an issue for things "draw for the person above you" threads. I also have a lot of other tabs planned (discussed further below,) so adding something like this might end up being unnecessary clutter for OCs who'll have a lot of tabs.

I made a poll so you can vote on what I should do, but also feel free to comment with your thoughts here!

1c.)  Eventually Flann will have a basic tab for her Feralian form, Langer will have a full tab for his Chilly form since he's an amnesiac in that and also a chinchilla, LaPlata might get a basic tab for her Lacael form but probably not since I don't plan on getting art of it, and Thyx might get a full tab for his original the character donut steel Thyx the Edgehog just 'cause it'd be fun. These tabs won't be added until I go back and update their profiles to their new layout, however. I could add Flann's right now since it's just a basic tab that'd have one image, but I imagine that'd break the anchors on her profile and make it literally unreadable in addition to just unpleasant to navigate. anchors when so i can put those profiles in legacy...

Second, new layout! I'm in the process of buying a new layout (this one specifically, but given my 10,000 sections and tables it'll be a bit as I do some tweaking,) so here's what to expect with that, here's the current layout if you for some reason really want to follow along:

2a.)  Things might be getting shuffled around a bit, like I might be doing stuff like this but we'll see how the code behaves! The Basics section might be getting axed in favor of having all of that info scattered throughout tabs, but there are some things that don't always have clean-cut answers (like age, gender, orientation, etc.) so I dunno yet. We'll see???????

2b.)  Relationship icons will still have alt text, but I dunno if I'll be having images of the character proper around in the profiles anywhere and therefore they might lose their alt text. Go poke the v4 characters while you still can!! Or just look at this Pastebin of their alt text, I guess. It includes private characters! I'll probably find somewhere to shoehorn a picture that'll work for me to keep the alt text, though, 'cause they're fun to come up with...

2c.)  Lots of changes to stats! First off, the stats section might become a tab of its own since I make so many different stat tables, but I'm not sure yet. I work pretty hard on them so I like to do whatever it takes to force people to skim 'em, like putting them in the main profile. In the end that's pretty silly, though...

Anyway, the Disgaea stat table is getting taken off, which SUCKS!!! But on any kind of profile the formatting gets messed up and it puts all of the table headers at the top, which is apparently an issue with the WYSIWYG editor and I don't want to be constantly switching that on and off just to add minor things and fix typos and stuff. It still REALLY SUCKS!!! bc I worked hard on that thing and love filling it out - especially Evilities - but it took up a lot of character space anyway, so... it might come back someday if I can figure out a way to fix it, but consider it retired for now.

I also might be making a DND table since I like DND's stats and a friend just got me a 5e handbook yesterday since I'll be participating in my first game soon! Check out part of this weirdly tanky bard Thyx. Wild. Just not sure if I'm sticking to basic stats unaltered for race/class/etc. or if I want to make it a little more complicated. If I ever actually use an OC in a game, though, their DND version will get a full tab of their own probably!

Finally, the Game Equivalents section will be getting a few more sections! They'll be Miitopia Job (once miitopia comes out u won't see me for 5,000 years sorry guys) and Persona Arcana. I might need to leave Persona Arcana out for a while since I'm in the middle of SSLPs of Persona 3 and 5, so I don't know if looking up the Arcanas that haven't been detailed in the thread yet will slam me into spoilers for those two games or not. Matters less for 3, but for 5 I only know like one spoiler and it's vague so I'd like to keep that unspoiled! Trying to think of more sections for that table to add since it'll probably be its own big horizontal section now which looks weird for small stuff, but most other games I've played either don't have class-like thing or have 10,000 that vary depending on the game (like Fire Emblem)... maybe Tomodachi Personality, but I dunno if I'd base that on which one actually fits them best or what they are in-game... Maybe, like, their TWEWY fashion brand...???

Finally..... LAYOUT TABS!!!!!

Some sections will be getting moved to their own basic tabs! Here's what I'm thinking things will look like right now:

1. Settings  -  Would contain a summary of each setting that they're involved in, which would be copypasted into every character who's in that setting's profile. There'd be a small portion at the bottom that details that specific character's role in the story!
2. Stats(?)  -  If I make a separate tab for those, that is!
   
3. Writing  -  Same thing as the current writing tab, just with more room!
4. Forum Posts - Same thing as the current forum post tab, just with more room! Deja vu.
   
5. Generator Gallery(?)  -  Would just be an image gallery, of course.

Some characters will have additional sections, such as characters with AUs and alternate forms, which will all likely be put before setting. Maybe. We'll see how things look. Istra, for example, might have a section on their anatomy since I've put a lot of thought into how they function. Lilaverse characters might get tabs for how they are in canon Lilesque VS the RPverse, spoilery characters might get spoilery and non-spoilery versions of their profiles, etc.

Istra will be my priority for everything because they're my second fav after Dicro who needs 10,000 sections I'm too lazy to do their layout is the only fully broken one since anchors don't function. Some of the others look funny, but they're still technically readable aside from summaries in some cases, but Istra's is entirely unreadable which isn't acceptable for someone with so much info!!!!! After that I'm not sure if I'll have time to get any new profiles out since Miitopia comes out on Friday, and that'll unquestionably consume my life for a worrisome amount of time. Please play the Miitopia demo it's so good pls make your ocs go on adventures, thanks

And... yeah! I think that should be everything I wanted to say! Which  was a lot, as usual. I really like talking. If you actually read all of  that, you're a real trooper and pal!!!

could probably check on the forums but i'm running around doing a bunch of things atm bc i woke up like 5:30 pm bc i am awful at life, SO

Does anyone have any profiles that have tabs on it yet that I could look at? I'm not really sure what they really look like or function, especially from a non-owner's point of view, and I don't have the time to mess with stuff atm nor do I want to risk messing up another OC's bio in my attempt! Do any of my followers here have tabs up somewhere yet, or do you guys know anyone who's experimented with them or if there's a thread out there to show them off?

And, like, do they interfere with CSS at all? Was just about to snag a CSS template but I should probably hold up if tabs destroy them or something...

...but let's be realistic drawing comes to me neither easily nor quickly SO attack at your own risk considering my track record is not so good. i still gotta Try(tm) though bc you can't win or lose if you don't make an attempt in the first place!! though i should also mention i probably won't be starting at all until later next week since construction is Still being done on the house until then(?) and as such my access to my tablet will be p limited for a while

i feel like there's more ocs i shoulda uploaded but i'm too lazy to make the profiles and upload the pics and whatnot... so much effort in live

ANYWAY if you have a profile lemme know so i can fight you!! though i think i'm still following like half of this dang site from last year

time for a HOT NEW THREAD everybody

http://toyhou.se/~forums/207.character-discussion/38808.your-favorite-character-you-never-talk-about

from now on im going to actually check my notifs bc i lov clickin that little star. goddamn. hope youll all enjoy being favspammed for the rest of your toyhouse lives (whenever stuff ends up in my inbox or i see people in forum games but whatever the spam will come eventually)

apologies to the inboxes of those affected

also please enjoy this poll, i hope you enjoy this collection of the objectively best images in my gallery

edit: you have to copy and paste the urls instead of clicking on them...... this poll was a mistake. but it wasn't because at least the patient will see the most best artwork of all time

Finished updating images and linking characters!! Though I still have a couple image links pending, though that really only matters for my buds since all of my images are good to go. More importantly, I turned on image commenting and favoriting! So if you've ever seen anything around rad and/or silly enough to be worth throwing a fav at... you can!! *jazz hands*

All of you should turn on your image comments/favs, too, so I can slam that fav button on things every now and then! Now that image uploads are a little more interesting (all they really do is notify me to check out bios and see if I've already read them or not atm), I'll probably be more on top of my inbox from now on! Maybe! Probably not bc I already have like 200 things in there just from the past couple hours why do I follow so many people oh god

Hey everyone, I'm currently updating my images to have nice thumbnails and to link other peoples' characters where applicable. I don't think I have too many cases of this since most of my multi-images are with close friends' characters so they already got a message, but feel free to decline any image-linking requests! I'm just tagging for completion, but I got all kinds of rinmarus and doodles and whatnot and not everyone digs having super sketchy/not drawn at all things in their galleries!

rly digging having thumbnails like charahub now...  2cro's gallery is a great example atm, gosh dang do i love nice clean squares!! can't have 'em on all things because of image sizes but i'll take what i can get

new site coding new thread whoo: http://toyhou.se/~forums/16.htmlcss-graphics/38401.issues-with-anchors

all in all the new update is Pretty Cool and there are a lot of things i do like and i'm pumped to fix images to have nice thumbnails and multi-character images and posting ic and making links is much more organized now and you can DIRECTLY LINK TO POSTS WITHOUT EDITING YOUR OWN FINALLY!!! and the double-posting thing doesn't seem to apply in worlds and folder descriptions are awesome despite the fact that i'm probably changing my folders anyway etc etc

but god DAMN am i stressed abt this one, extremely damning tiny thing that utterly destroys so many profiles i've spent hours working on and tweaking so if anyone knows The Facts(tm) i'd love some help!!
