The big bad forum update topic

[Zanniej]

Hi all,

Please use this topic to say anything you want about the new forum.

I'm fully aware that it's far from perfect. And you're also welcome to tell me whatever you dislike.
Suggestions, what you appreciate, what you'd like different, or just a general opinion. All is fine!

The breadcrumbs should be at the bottom of the ehader ( below the date/time tool )

[mrm3ntalist]

Also some extra padding on the top and bottom of a post's main body will improve readability . Currently the text is too close with the signature and the title's details

Alright, now... I'm on a Samsung Galaxy S8+



I assume you built the mobile layout to tablets? I have not taken a look at the Forums through my own tablet but will when I can.

A constancy of text font and style would be nice, but I'm not too picky overall about looks so long as it's functional in the end.

I'm sure it will improve in due time, I have faith.

[mrm3ntalist]

Another improvement can be of the quick links are all displayed as a menu. Repeatedly having to click quick links, then new posts for example, becomes tiring for lazy people like me

[Zanniej]

Hehe, thanks Mrm3nt! Couple of those were already on my to-do list. Others not yet. Thanks!

@SoThereIWas:
No, I did not build the mobile layout at all I reskinned the default style.
Thanks for the feedback! I'll look to bring more consistency to font and style.

Thanks for your feedback guys! I'm going to be gradually altering the forum. I know it has a lot of holes, inconsistencies and general layout issues. The only reason it looks as it does is due to time constraints. Give me time and feedback, and I'll make sure we'll all grow to love the new forum! (By demolishing anything we don't like )

Woo! Thanks for the hard work Zanniej!

The big thing staring at me right now... is the utter white reply window when hitting reply, on an otherwise very dark forum boards. It's very bright. Ow.

Otherwise what I can immediately see is that the signatures look too much alike quotes and edits. Maybe we'll learn to 'see them differently' but currently I can't say I like how the signatures appear.

[Zanniej]

Oh, sorry! My computer is dark themed by default, so I didn't see that.
THis should be edited now Glowfire. Better now?

Concerning the signature, you're right. It's very much akin to the quotes. I'll think of something for that sometime.

Still super white!!

Also, column widths on mobile phone layout are misproportioned—for example, the Topic has least width while all others have far too much.

Cheers Z-man.

Additionally, what used to be right-left in layout on old forums, is now left-right layout. For example, player name/avatar is on right side of screen window.

Don't you have a bunch of ganja Piets helping you out?!?

[Zanniej]

Some things will be changin' Steve
Also because I've got no Ganja Piets helping.

But yeah, the layout will probably stay changed, unless a lot of people complain..

Can someone screenshot the super white reply page for me?

I'm aware I gotta fix mobile. Will put prio on that!

[Nyssis]

Tables are shrinking images again, as per this issue.

[Svabodnik]

Whatever other changes and fixes you make, please keep the 'parchment' text option broken! I feel like I can actually read the hideous things now. Thanks!

[Moltrazahn]

I'd like a button which can give likes to the Staff and Moderators.
Because where it is important to give constructive criticism, it is also important to give praise for the hard work

FORUM-WORK COMES TO MIND!

*praises*

^^

Can the server adress window be centred? Like in the direction the below red arrow points to.

I don't have anything bad to say about the forums, except some visual choices that look weird
