.josh Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 From: Button for PHP code? Here would be my two versions: I think it would be wise to keep it simple (as salathe mentioned).. so I used his little php logo as one and simple block text as the other (with rollover states included.. far right of image) . I don't think I would have any preference either way if we were to go along with something like that. As far as I'm concerned, so long as it looks like it belongs among the other buttons and isn't trying to depict too much info in such a small space, all's good. Not sure what you guys think about it though. Cast your vote! Voting ends in 7 days, though that's just an estimate and can be haggled. Please refer to the above quote for a clean look of the buttons, and the image below as to what is "the left" and is "the right". Notice, there are only 2 buttons total being voted on. The 2nd row of buttons is the "hover state" of the top row buttons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philip Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 I think its funny that you had to label the left/right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted December 28, 2009 Author Share Posted December 28, 2009 Well some people in the other thread thought there were 4 buttons to choose from, despite nrg mentioning rollover states. But as you can see for yourself, it isn't mentioned until after 140 chars, and since 140 chars is the current de facto tl;dr threshold, it's nrg's fault.

Damn you, SMS / Twitter and your 140 characters!!! *Sigh*... the moral of the story is cram your most important info within the first 140 characters so you can't be accused of borderline tl;dr BS Interesting poll.. love the 'sucks' options lol. Was tempted to choose that one, for poops and giggles, but opted for 'either one, so long as we get a damn button' choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarKirby Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 I think the right one looks too stylish. The left one is more systematic and simple, which I like. it's more easily readable, isn't trying to be flashy. A button shouldn't be flashy, it should just do it's job, I voted left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is PHP, but it doesn't mean it has to be it's logo. The code symbol is a hash, hyperlink is a picture of a fricken planet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 I chose right, but I don't think a button is needed - it's just as easy, if not easier, to type in the bbcode manually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gizmola Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Since bbcode depends on the use of square brackets to delimit a code, I think the "left" one that includes said brackets is a little clearer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oni-kun Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 FTW! Left wins, ETA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I'm surprised by how tight the left and right race is (I figured it would be pretty much dominant one way or the other - feels almost like the Bush / Gore presidential race... minus the Florida recount ).

Well, at one time the poll was at 17:8, and did go down the next morning. (Or was I dreaming?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 So if I get the button images for "left" I'll see if I can figure out how to add it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 So if I get the button images for "left" I'll see if I can figure out how to add it. I can get those for you later today.. any prefered format (gif, pgn, etc..) / naming preference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel0 Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Seems like the other ones are gif, so let's just go with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrg_alpha Posted January 6, 2010 Share Posted January 6, 2010 Sounds good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
