April 11, 20241 yr Why are all the post reply and quote etc. buttons under the todays birthday's section? Secondly can you manually change my username to Hiss I am beyond bored with my current one. :drama:
April 11, 20241 yr Author It's my testing zone, they'll be gone soon x And no - you know the situation regarding your username.
April 11, 20241 yr I don't know how Multi-quote is supposed to work tbh :kink: The button kinda bugs out :unsure:
April 11, 20241 yr Author I don't know how Multi-quote is supposed to work tbh :kink: The button kinda bugs out :unsure: That's cause it's a work in progress... I've purposely not actually announced this yet! :kink: damn my testing at the bottom of the forum exposing this far too quickly x (I think I've got it kinda working now but need to make it clearer which is + and which is -... so bear with me on multiquote)
April 11, 20241 yr Author Okay new post buttons are here - suggestions as always are welcomed! I've moved report over to the right hand side, partly because it stretched the left column (and looked even worse when placed underneath), and I don't think it hurts to have it look more prominent. I'm already finding it odd having more colours but I know I'll get used to it! The blue and grey buttons (lighter versions, not the darker rollover versions) are the same colours as the speech bubbles on the homepage. Red for report (and delete, for the mods) to make them stand out a little more. These designs are based strongly on other forums I use that have much more modern layouts, so it's putting us a little closer to where they're at! IF MULTIQUOTE IS BUGGING Please do a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5) on the following links (sorry they're glitching to try and actually embed the links) http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/style_images/1[1]/p_mq_add.gif http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/style_images/1[1]/p_mq_remove.gif OR clear your cache x This should clear up in time...! I didn't anticipate it being installed in a different way to the other buttons so my apologies for any issues. As a result it's the only one of the new buttons not to have a rollover feature for the time being - but I might come back to that. Either way, the + and the - will tell you what the button will do, either add it to your quote or remove it.

It looks really good Joseph, a bit buggy to start with but I think that’s to do with my cache on my iPad as I browse at this moment, will try from a laptop another time. Just thinking, is the "Go to top" button really necessary? I’ve never clicked on it before to get to the top as I would naturally scroll (which admittedly takes longer to do).

Yeah the cache is the enemy of this refresher mission, sorry for any bugginess that may come with that at the start. It'll be fine before long! I don't use it myself but some people may, it's harmless really so may as well keep it there!
April 11, 20241 yr A lot slicker with those new buttons - all of these small changes are bringing the whole forum a lot closer to feeling like other forums you'd see today! I don't use the 'Go to top' button myself either, but I don't think it's causing any problems being there. Everyone uses Buzzjack differently so it might be a tool some people do frequently use.

Absolutely, and when I raise these points, it’s not to dismiss anyone who does use the feature. As you both rightly said, it doesn’t cause any harm and had it not been upgraded I would forget it was even there. :lol: I do think the "Report" button is much more prominent now, which is good, it’s clear to see and for anyone who needs to use it they will be in no doubt how to submit a report to the mods.
April 12, 20241 yr Hey Joseph, these new updates are banging! If I had one small suggestion, it would be to change the grey colour of buzzjack to something different but I understand that's beyond what you can do without the permissions at the moment. Therefore my post is defunct lol.
April 12, 20241 yr I feel that the "go to the top/report/delete/edit/multi-quote/quote" buttons are a bit too big, both on mobile and desktop, but particularly on mobile! The largeness/colourfulness of the buttons is catching my eye the most when reading through a thread. Maybe 80% of the current size would be a good fit?
April 12, 20241 yr I'm really liking the change to transparent background buttons :cheeseblock: :wub:
April 12, 20241 yr oh yesss ttansparent buttons :cheeseblock: they looked fine before, but it looks better now! slay joseph
April 12, 20241 yr Author Doing them as we speak - multi-quote being the biggest bugger once again but I think they're looking nicer! Bear with while I finish these ones off.
April 12, 20241 yr This may be one where we all have different personal choices but I’m liking the way some of them currently are where they don’t look like buttons and instead look like symbol or text on the bar. When they are buttons they dominate a little, particularly the red ones. I also visually do like the smaller icons that Jay has suggested too - but obvs they need to be big enough that we’re not accidentally clicking on things Although all options are better than what was there before so good work Joseph
April 12, 20241 yr Ok the adjusted ones look a million times better because honestly I loathed version one, they were so illfitting with the rest of the site and design but the new transparent ones do feel a lot more inkeeping while providing that updated refreshed feel
April 12, 20241 yr Author Transparent buttons are now implemented - any issues with multiquote, please use the same fixes I mentioned before (to get this to work it *has* to be a gif file, which results in annoyingly low quality transparent images. Therefore, the multi-quote isn't actually transparent, it just has a background colour identical to that of the layout background :kink: the multi-quote selected version is still the dark button version - I think it makes it particularly clear when you've selected something for the multi-quote function so I hope you guys find that useful. The earlier button versions were pretty different to what we had before, and I think we'd have been used to them in no time had they stayed, but I do appreciate the constructive comments some here have given to allow us to work on arranging the transparent versions which definitely look better. This isn't a personal project so I'm keen to work on stuff that everyone here will appreciate and benefit from - and I really am grateful for those who come constructively and with potential solutions!
April 12, 20241 yr It amazes me that all of this could have been done so many years ago with this capability. It’s not one persons fault for not addressing it but the fact that this existing forum has such capacity for modernising when it’s been the same way for some 18 years is quite astonishing. What will Philip think of it all the next time he logs in… :o
