Icon previewing on comments- when you go to comment and select an icon it shows the icon you selected.

DONE

ALSO: You can't have ?mode=reply at the end of your URL. Try having #comments and then clicking Post A New Comment or responding to someone else's comment, if it's not showing up for you.

	Do you know if any other site has implemented this, so I can see it in action, or maybe make a mockup? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hrmm, crap I don't have an account there, so maybe someone can take a screenshot for me. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Greatestjournal had it, but since they've gotten rid of icons completely, it's difficult to show. It's nearly exactly like how when you update your journal, you can select the icon and it shows up on the top left of it. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Alright, well if no one can give me a screenshot it's not a big del if they can, awesome, but I'll see what I can do! (Reply to this)(Parent)

GreatestJournal had that, but it was a sort of rip off of what LiveJournal had, and now has improved. Do you have a LiveJournal? I don't know if

jwalk is suggesting the GreatestJournal method where the icon you choose would simply pop up next to the drop down list, or the LiveJournal method, where a pop-up type of page comes up that shows all of your icons, like this.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

It has the options to make the preview of the icons bigger, and if you have keywords for the icons, they appear in place of the "pic #049302490" and so on, so forth.

	Hrmm, wow, I wonder if any of you know the people from GJ, mainly the system guy. Cause it would help if I could see his code or have him let us use the code since they're going down the drain... So yeah if anyone knows how to get a hold of that person let me know. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

I tried to log into my old GreatestJournal account and get a screencap of what the icons preview looked like on there, but it's no longer working. Also, I have ~system's e-mail because one of the individuals who helped out with GreatestJournal privately messaged it to me when GreatestJournal last went down and everyone was asking what he did with all of the cash that people donated towards the site via the user ~naa, back when she began a username reset, much like you are thinking of doing. She was resetting names for whoever donated money, but to the knowledge of the users, the money never went towards the site. I can e-mail you ~system's e-mail addy if you'd like, but according to the GreatestJournal staff if I remember correctly, he added so much crap to his coding for the site that he actually ending up breaking the code, (I didn't even know that was possible,) and later on many of the errors happening on GreatestJournal were uncorrectable because of that. So, I don't know if you'd want to use his coding, although ~squeaky over at InsaneJournal has the icon preview that LiveJournal has that is shown in that screencap, so you could ask him too. It's up to you but either way, I can e-mail you ~system's e-mail.

Fortunately someone actually posted on a screenshot on the post in

scribbldsuggest so I know what it looks like.

Oh well if

squeaky has it, maybe I can ask him how it works. I do know him so I will have a little chat with him :) Thanks for pointing that out ^____^! So if I am correct there's an icon preview also available on LJ? If so I can definitely check that out cause I have an account there and on IJ...

Send me GJ systems email though!

	The screenshot I posted about is the LJ version of the icon preview, which is what IJ also has. The GJ version was not as advanced, but it worked well. So, yeah, this is the LJ preview: http://i29.tinypic.com/2czvsqp.png I don't have the GJ one because I just tried to log in and it won't work for me anymore. :( I'll e-mail you ASAP!

	Since I've got the Special Early Donater Account could you give the paid account to crocketed for me? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	jimmy 2008-02-11 08:53 pm UTC (link)
	Sure, but the special donator accounts don't have access to the preview, is that okay? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
