Just wanted to compliment the Site Administrators here on adding random site logo when clicking site pages.

I believe there are 4 different ones that show randomly.

Great idea and implementation!

Thanks, they look great!

Carry on.

I was beginning to wonder if people noticed little changes that I do like this...  Just a little something subtle to change things up a little every now and then.

I don't think the majority of people realize just how much work Site Administrators put into their sites!

Alot of work that is unseen by most.

 

For example, I upgraded the Pinball Nirvana logo in October. The old logo was lo-res.

Then decided to make holiday logos.

Well for Christmas, I uploaded Christmas logo at start of Advent, which fell on the 2nd of Dec. this year.

Well every night at 12pm Pacific time, the logo was changed to have 2 new pinball tables in the snow globes.

That is 23 different logos uploaded, up until the day after Christmas. (46 different pinball tables added to snow globes!)

I am sure not many people noticed this, but this is what site Administrators do!

These small things add up!

All to try and enhance the end users experience on the sites!

 

So again, thanks for the random logos!

I definately noticed!

Carry on.

I have often admire the logos on this site.  I especially like the one that is up right now.  There was one earlier that looked good but the sides appeared to be squeezed together on my PC.  I am not sure what it looked like on others PCs.

The Happy  Holidays one looks like the bottom is cut off on my screen.

It is probably due to the screen res I am running on monitor. 1360x768

I know it is clipping the bottom of logo, because it looks like there is a picture under the words "Happy Holidays".

@GeorgeH Does this logo look the same on your screen?

Still looks great!

Anybody see a brown turtle in the Fish Tales logo?

The guy in the boat on left side has his foot hanging off slightly on side of the boat. (This would be the turtles head.)

Between his legs looks like the shell of a turtle.

I have fished alot, but not from a boat.

I still see the shape of a brown turtle.

Imagine that the green fish is not there.

Can you not see the shape of a dark brown turtle?

The tip of his boot hanging off the boat is the head.

Well I don't see a turtle on that pic. lol

On the VPU logo, that area is all dark brown.

If you follow the outline of just the dark brown color on logo, it is shaped like a turtle.

The falling snow was a nice touch!

The falling confetti for New Years is the icing on the pinball site cake!

 

Great job @Dazz!

Thanks to all who maintain and keep sites up and running through thick and thin.

Also special thanks to ALL who contribute to this fantastic hobby! Best preservation project ever!

You are appreciated!

 

Happy New Year! (47 minutes until New Year here!)

Thanks for noticing! I love doing small things to brighten up the place.  People really don't get to see, or appreciate, what all goes on in the background.  I may go quiet at times, but work is always going on.  The release of the new DOF Config Tool v3 has been our project for the past 6 months or so.  

I really want to do more here on the site to bring back the community feel. I feel that Discord and Facebook groups have really segmented everyone.  While they are great for instant communication, they are not great for what we really do in general to keep this hobby going.

The forums here are great for community. And we do appreciate all the little things on the site!

 

This place is top notch for everything VPin!

 

Yeah, unfortunately these forums and the VPU Discord are not as busy as I'd hope they would be.  I am not very good with the social media stuff...
