Forum Theme Update

[thedodeman]

Regardless. We all have seen what a good forum looks like.

100% subjective. Please don't generalize that "we all" think the old forum looked good. There is no way you can possibly know that. I didn't hate it, but I like this new look better. So "we all" is simply not true.

The amount of wasted space here and simplified look genuinely upsets me.

If you are upset by how things look on a website that is absolutely crazy to me. You seriously are UPSET? There are so many more important things in life to be upset about.

I guess I am being overly critical since I am writing down my ideas for future websites I could potentially make and I have a huge list of what not to do.

Thanks for crapping on our efforts. Sorry you don't like them. I guess you'll have to look elsewhere for you inspiration for future websites.

Sorry, but the new theme still sucks.

100% your opinion. Which you are entitled to. sk8ace left the option available to change back to the old look, why don't you do that?

Two things I'd like to suggest:

• For posts that don't have signatures, add some extra spacing underneath the text. If the post is only a single line, then the Applaud button tends to run down into the top of the next post. (at least on my end)
• For quoted posts, the font size could stand to be a little bigger.

Thanks, and other than these minor complaints, the new theme is looking great! I'm starting to like it a lot more than the original.

Autism I guess. And I will gladly change it back.

The spacing should be fixed. I added a min height for each post which should prevent that from happening.

Upped the quoted text to 14px and the quote header text to 13px

Thanks!

Man, please everyone know that the people running this site are VOLUNTEERS and many of them are paying good money out of their pockets to provide us all with a FREE service. Holy crap you would think the world was coming to an end over some changes.

Who the hell are you?

Few things i'd like to point out about the new theme (mostly personal annoyances):
1 The member list is not horizontally scrollable.
2 I can't check the board im posting in by scrolling up. (Because scrolling up is so much work... Nice logic, me!)
3 Double log-in boxes on log-in page!
4 Profile pics are squished when phone is sideways.
5 Horizontal rules are invisible on posts and preview but visible on Rich editor real-time edit thingy, aka the blue mouse with red outline.

1. Fixed
2. There is a little GPS symbol on the top right that will tell you where you are.
3. Fixed
4. Fixed.
5. I don't know what to do about this one lol.

I fixed the quote, oops..

Yea.. It's what i tried to say but my brain was thinking of something else.
Im just gonna stick with the GPS icon! :T

Seems fixed, wut?


If it's not a problem to ask, i wanted to know if making the font the same size as the other theme wouldn't hurt. Even if it is only in the "Reply" page.

[sk8ace]

The other theme's font is a bit smaller? I can drop it down one px and let me know what you think.

[ShutMeUp!]

Here you can see what im talking about.



Funny how both screenshots have a cropped "Jump to.." button, heh.

The buttons like "Quick reply", "

[sk8ace]

How's it look now?

[ShutMeUp!]

I say 10pt size should be alright, this goes for the profile stats and quotes too.
Well, at least on mobile that's a problem.

[sk8ace]

Go here and let me know what width it says your phone screen is.

That way I can make sure to use the right settings for your specific size.

[ShutMeUp!]

Here. :T

For future references, it is a Huawei Ascend Y560- L02.
(Writing it down in case i accidentally delete my whole UC Browser clipboard, which might happen eventually)

Ah that makes sense. My phones DPI is more than double yours. I'm going to have to target DPI or Ratio instead of px to make it work better for all.

[ShutMeUp!]

Yea, i hope it works, the quotes have inconsistent font size, it's kinda weird. :T

Anyway, good luck with it cuz im having a lot of stats text overlapping the posts and it could be some trouble reading. :p
