April 10, 20241 yr Tremendous Joseph! You’ve certainly guaranteed yourself the Member of The Year award for another year coming! :D
April 10, 20241 yr Nice work Joseph. Good to have a modern refresh after all this time, within reason of what could be done under the parameters you had to work with anyway! Feels a lot fresher and more relevant now.
April 10, 20241 yr Author Thanks lovely people for the kind words! Are we feeling the speech bubble icons on the homepage? I think it looks much slicker and less bulky but open to feedback. Are the colours clear enough? Is it visible enough? :thinking: (the old icons are saved if you guys REALLY hate the new ones :kink: )
April 10, 20241 yr Love this idea - have used this in the updated tag! Ah yay that is looking good! Thank you for these updates, I'm liking the look of the speech bubbles too ^_^
April 10, 20241 yr It may seem unnecessary but perhaps it might be good to do a poll about what statistics people find most interesting to view, as I was thinking for a while if it really matters what user number you are assigned based on the time you joined the forum as a registered member… do people actually care about this particular statistic or could be be removed/hidden from the side panel and perhaps replaced with something more useful? :thinking: Speech bubbles seems quite cool, it would certainly take some getting used to. ^_^ Could/Should (:kink:) the colour scheme of the forum index be brightened up from a very boring white/grey backdrop or is a neutral palette better to be welcomed to when you open the forum for the first time?
April 10, 20241 yr Author Thanks guys! There's not a lot of choice about what could go into the side profile field instead of user number really I don't think! I think social media usernames are probably best left for the profile page, and the only other field is favourite artist/group, which could work but the length would vary and could look more cluttered. Don't have any strong opinions on the user number really, though I suppose it's not doing too much harm at the moment! Don't think I'll be able to do anything regarding the colour scheme I'm afraid - there's far too many intricate details that would have to be absolutely spot on and it's just too big a task, so I think we should focus on brightening the forum up in other ways, such as the new index icons, and other similar buttons around the site that I'd love to look at next.
April 10, 20241 yr Nothing wrong with the user number really, pretty standard stat that you’d see anywhere else. The speech bubbles are great, certainly a lot more modern and still very easy to identify read/unread posts/sections.
April 10, 20241 yr Author Final thing for tonight, coming back to this! In that case does the website support svg images? :unsure: That would circumvent the image restriction as svg files are vectorised therefore they should look sharp even when enlarged I looked into it and it appears it doesn't, but that's okay because my Photoshop doesn't and I couldn't get my head around how to work the program I downloaded...! Nevertheless, I changed a setting on Photoshop for the existing files and it actually made them look clearer I think - doesn't solve the issue of how they look when enlarged of course, which I guess is mostly down to our lack of mobile website, but it's probably as good as we can get. I hope it looks better now!
April 11, 20241 yr Author User number's gonna stay guys, don't worry! Thanks so much for the lovely feedback!
April 11, 20241 yr oooh Ty Joseph! Love the gender graphic but not a fan of the massive member text if I'm honest - I think just because it's black :lol: Think we should be rebranded as Not-a-Mod in a nice orange colour ;) it does look good for mods though and is better than the square things This tbh! It's looking better with the change now - less blurry - but a funky colour would be nicem
April 11, 20241 yr Author I can make a separate Posters' Chart Flop category with a funky colour if you want one that much? x
