Oh yes these buttons do look much better with the transparency. (And actually having the solid background for active multiquotes is much better than the old system of the plus symbol just being slightly coloured so a blessing in disguise that that button was annoying to change :lol:)

That's a point, I am guessing Phil knows about these changes?

 

They look fantastic, I never know what I will return to later. What will it be like tomorrow? More changes?

 

If you start talking in code in real life, we'll start getting worried about you!

Phil isn't active very often these days unfortunately, but he was the one who gave me access to everything required to make changes like this a few years back, it's how I've been able to add emoticons etc over the years, I just didn't know the extent to which I could tweak stuff! (I of course haven't deleted any old images etc, they're all still in the same places)

 

Glad you guys prefer the transparent, I very much do too! Thanks for the kind words + constructive help across this whole thing.

Oooh very nice Joseph! Thanks.☺️

And last thing for the time being... new thread icons on each forum page, matching the colour scheme of the speech bubbles on the index!

 

Correct me if I'm wrong but "hot topic" felt like a bit of a redundant feature (this is when topics used to appear red, it occurred after a certain number of posts) so I've made regular + hot topics have the same icons, and given poll threads (formerly purple) a bar chart icon! Locked topics are red, moved topic redirect links are purple (these don't appear much), and pinned/announcement threads have new icons. Ticks appear when you've posted in the threads. The orange "go to new posts" square was contrasting horribly so I've made it a blue circle, matching the colour for "new posts".

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

 

Might I suggest that pinned topics don’t need to be tagged as "Pinned" in the thread description if there is a pin icon next to them? Would look a little less wordy. ;) And maybe rename the section "Important Topics" to "Pinned Threads" instead?

I thought the same re the word "Pinned" - I'll look at it, thanks Wardy!

Took me forever but I found it and it's gone! :D Have renamed that category to "Pinned Threads" too.

Joseph in his computer science expert era *.*

 

Loving the new look for everything! Also glad to see that the Report button was moved elsewhere bc it's been kinda annoying to accidentally press that whenever I want to go back to the top of the page :lol:

And no - you know the situation regarding your username.

 

I am hoping the situation changes in the future. I promise I won't use the name Pus or impersonate other Buzzjackers.

Ticks appear when you've posted in the threads.

I was wondering what this meant when I saw some threads ticked and others not (there’s not an icon at the bottom of the page to tell you that symbol) but also was this a feature of the old design to quickly see which threads you have posted in that is? If so I didn’t know that was the case! :lol:

It's my testing zone, they'll be gone soon x

 

I clicked some of the buttons while they were in the testing zone, it wont do my computer, me, or Buzzjack any harm?

Yes!! It was the icons that looked like this:

None at all, they weren't connected to anything at all so they were just rollover images, you're all good!

I've been thinking I've been going crazy the last week or so with all the changes being made :lol:

 

Really liking all the changes you've been making Joseph, thank you for updating the forum!

 

I'm not sure how much work this would be/if it is in your realm of permissions but I would love a dark mode for Buzzjack sometime in the future if at all possible.

Haha my apologies, I've been doing it somewhat spontaneously so couldn't pre-announce the changes at first!! :kink: Thanks for the kind words!

 

I'm afraid that'll be way out of my capabilities! :cry: but it's absolutely an area we're lacking in as a site compared to most other sites nowadays :(

Loving the new graphics/designs!!! It feels like a long time coming. Makes the site look more appealing to engage with.

I’m liking the new changes buuuttt am I crazy or did threads used to have a kind of “Read” colour change icon? I know there’s tick now saying you’ve replied in the thread but what happened to the read/new thingy?

I’ve been thinking as I’ve browsed that the new pin icons would look better in a different transparent colour than grey, would it be possible to have a look and see if it looks better?

Blue = unread

Grey = read

 

Just like the speech bubbles on the index!

Could perhaps try the blue to keep the colour consistent? Will play around with it at some point!

Please do the black frame for Lithuanian flag like other countries have.

 

Is it possible to do flags a little bigger ?
