2) I prefer multiquote rather than Flag to Quote. The former tells me what the button does. The latter tells me very little.
Yup. I need the flyover to remind me that it means multiquote.

3) I want the Reply without quote back. I for one use it a lot.
Just press the "quick reply" button, or the "reply to thread" button
Ah, but that's defeatured.


Regarding button size, I generally bump the size of the whole page in my browser already, so for me embiggened stuff that is already embiggened makes them redundantly big.

Re: Do you like the current DaniWeb design/layout?
The "new" buttons that just started showing up suck. They are annoying to look at and they are unnecessary and they serve little purpose. I can already tell which threads I looked at and I don't care if the thread was posted since the last time I visited the forum (or whatever else it is supposed to mean).

Re: Do you like the current DaniWeb design/layout?
Sometimes part of that "What do you want to rate..." bubble is floating over all the post(don't have a pic), or the text isn't center and strays outside the bubble(sorry, no pix either).

Also, why is the question mark yellow-on-manila? I can't see it without squinting and holding my face against the monitor.

Yeah, they're too bold and distract me from the title - I can't even focus on the title with such a thing popping out at me!

I don't care for the "new" buttons either -- they are annoying and serve no real purpose. And when I select "Post Since Last Visit", every listed thread has a "new" button -- which should be obvious.

I can't say I like the dotted underlining and popup either
It's all very distracting.

>>I can't say I like the dotted underlining and popup either
It just disappeared in the last ~5 minutes. I guess dani didn't like it either.

I don't like the "NEW" button either. Isn't that what the icon on the left of new posts is for? Or does this further distinguish between new and an unread post, versus just unread post?

I like the appearances of daniweb and I know you have to "spice things up" to keep competitive but I think that effort would be better suited in quality-related efforts, like banning Rashakil Fol again or more buttons for code tags and stuff on the posting forum box. I quit another forum I was posting on because Daniweb had a white blackground and I was tired of those dark-gray/black backgrounds. ^5 dani.

Rashakil Fol[/URL] again
Why?
And he has 5 points still on, so that will probably happen sooner or later

Re: Do you like the current DaniWeb design/layout?
The 'new' buttons always existed. However, they just had a little down arrow which didn't make much sense. I just edited the image to say the word "New" instead. (Also, you can click the button to instantly jump to the first new post since your last visit)

Nice feature, but its not very reliable. Most of the time clicking New just takes me to the first or second post in the thread. I tried it with threads that had a lot of posts, and only once out of four times did it work.
