OT: New Board -- How Do I...?

[Taak19]

Yes, that dark theme is much better. Only dislike of it is the grey on black in the text box here.

 

[Foppberg]

Looks like they added some borders around each post to distinguish them from each other, and the quoting bubble is better.

They did add a red border to the top of each post and a slightly gray background to the post.

Only problem is they added the same treatment to the quick reply section so that no longer stands out.

 

[AllAboutAvs]

Good start with the changes they made. Much easier to read.

 

[ASmileyFace]

Good changes for sure. Sticking with the Dark theme still for now.

 

[Ceremony]

Oh yes something to actually separate the posts is nice.

Quick reply is always at the bottom and probably shared tables, makes sense to be honest. I like the change. Plus the "New" flag on a post if you haven't read it yet is nice.

Also I noticed at first whenever you clicked the circle to bring you to the newest post it always brought you to the one below that. It's fixed now so that it really does bring you to the newest post.

The changes are nice. My only real wish now is that they put the time stamp on top of the post. They can even leave the "8 minutes ago" at the bottom if they want but add an actual time stamp such as 1:15PM October 3rd 2017 to the top like old times.

 

[Foppberg]

It's definitely growing on me. I'm starting to forget what the old HF looks like...

Time stamp and ignoring threads are still the big ones for me.

 

[tigervixxxen]

They are working on incorporating some of these changes folks want but the ignore isn't going to happen. It's an expensive code add on or some such unfortunately.

I NEED something to fix the tables. Apparently that's on the list but not a priority.

And the 1000 rule has been abolished, just to let yall in on a little secret. Some threads that make sense to refresh (like the rumors thread) might still go that way but season long threads like the Rampage and Prospects shouldn't have to get cutoff.

 

[Foppberg]

What's the tables?

Shared tables? And no, it doesn’t make any UX sense. You shouldn’t style a post the same as an input field.

Quick reply and a regular post likely share the same layout sections, whatever they're using to style it. And it's just the same background color when you click it, still a lighter gray otherwise.

Honestly I don't see the big deal. You're basically typing in the next post in the thread and that's the way it's styled. It's at the bottom, below the page buttons and clearly spaced between the last post and your reply. Every single post has a white space between it's gray background.

Good change.

It’s lazy CSS work or terrible UX decisions.

Not sure which ignore feature you mean, but when you click on a person's username you're given the option to ignore them.
Something that is probably too much work but which would be nice would be the ability to leave yourself a small note about a user, visible only to you near their avatar or something. Just to remember who some people are.
And I'm glad someone made a Stylish theme, but I've never been a fan of dark. The changes that the admins have made thus far are a step in the right direction. Hopefully it continues, and/or more people write scripts for Stylish that are a bit more subtle and involved than just making things dark.

Oh shit. There will never be another Avalounge.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Table as in what I use for the GDT sign up thread, prospect polls. There's some beyond elaborate ones on the main board. They all need fixing. I see there's a note now up about new table code so hopefully that helps.

Idk what we'll do about the Avalounge, if we'll let it go on or not.

Ignore as in ignore threads. Some people don't like to see the OT stuff or whatever.

Side note:

They need to remove the -WebKit styles on mobile. The buttons look like garbage.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Omg there's a table button?

But what about the ones I already made?

 

[Pokecheque]

Ah, love the changes. That bright white background was all

 

[Foppberg]

Yeah this is much better than when it launched.

To be expected though, I like it better than the old HF now to be honest.

It never takes too long to get feedback from the community and fix issues if the admins are paying attention. Which they are. I'm using the dark theme only at night now just to cut down on glare.

 

[Frenchy]

I forget which thread it was, but I did see a mod say they're aware of the complaints and are working on it. Especially the borders and 'too bright' colouring.

Yes we are aware of the brightness and people are working on it. But idk where it is on the list of priorities.

Is it even possible to scroll past a sponsor ribbon without it catching your eye?
