What a fantastic job on the Frag Zone style.

Now to lay out the nodes, I'd like it to look like this.

1. Unique forum node icons.
2. Subforums listed underneath, not in the drag down menu.
3. Description underneath would be great.

This is for the game DDO. There are 4 other games/guild chapters I am going to build for.

Next up is: Roster, Raid Calendar (I'd love for it to do signups but options are thin -- I'm still hoping you guys can add a calendar option to the Roster -- then guilds would be able to use it as the alternative to ShivTR and Enjin!!), Applications (I need separate applications for each game/chapter), Front page/portal software.

What do you recommend (that would work with this style) and more importantly should I do it in a certain order?

Thanks for everything - you guys are THE BEST. :)
 
As for Paradox...

Here's their forum homepage: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/index.php?forums/

Notice once you click on a forum and it goes to the next page... the nice big banner over the forum sections advertising their games?

Id like to do a guild banner/crest for each of our guild chapters there.

Ya that's using just a standard XF notice. It looks like it was following Steve's old guide: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/sign-up-welcome-notice-deleted.28321/ which the code is still there.

Here's the icons: http://tyrspaladium.com/index.php?forums/

Notice how the height/width is a fixed square. I want to be able to get some big icons in there. 150px at least.

If you want to increase the node icon size: Style Properties -> Node Icons -> Node Icon, increase the height/width.

Thanks I'll check it out!

Right. I did see that however that also enlarges all the icons. I just wanted that larger size for the forum home page.. for the Tyrs Tavern and my guild chapters. The moment they click a game, I'd like them to see standard sized icons for the rest of the forum levels.
 
So try this in extra.css:

Code:
.forum_list .nodeIcon {height:100px;width:100px !important;}

This should only change the size on the main forums page but not inside the forum view.
 
Fairly simple but you'll need to make an adjustment:

Wrap this code in a link like so:
Code:
<a href="{xen:link forums, $forum}"><span class="nodeIcon" title="{xen:if $forum.hasNew, '{xen:phrase unread_messages}', ''}"></span></a>
 
I'll save that code for later. I have the front forum FINALLY the way I ENVISIONED IT!

Here's how I did it with the code of Russ:

1. For EASY icon selection, I purchased [XFA] Nodes Icon Tweak [Paid] for $10.

2. CODE to enter in Extra.CSS

.forum_list .nodeIcon {height:125px;width:225px !important;}
.nodeIcon { background-size: cover !important;}

3. I created a 125x225 transparent background in Photoshop and saved it. I created the below icons and made them fit in that background with a little space remaining on the right that stays transparant and renamed them as .png files.

4. FTP the icons to my server.

5. Point to the icons with the [XFA] Nodes Icon Tweak. DONE!

Now its easy. I just do the last 3 steps to add a new icon. Its point and click easy.

Guildies that are helping me test the site are amazed with your theme! :)

We have a display problem. On certain browsers we are having different results

One guildie: "DDO now has no image and Neverwinter seems to have both the Neverwinter image and the DDO Image. Jjust tried it in Chrome and Firefox, cleared caches and rebooted, still get same issue.. Running windows 10, tried in chrome, firefox, IE and Edge"

Another Guildie: I'm using Chrome and Windows 10 and it works. Tried using Edge and DDO image is not showing.

It's trying to load this: data/xfa/nodesicontweak/icons/ddologo.png but it can't be found for whatever reason, maybe invalid path? Try reuploading the icon possibly.
