Re: Forum Indicies

The long nights of code tweaking are really paying off I think. It's amazing how Dani manages to improve the look all the time, even when you think it has hit pretty much the best it is going to get

A big thank you from me as well, Dani.

Re: Forum Indicies

Wow, what a relief! I was so afraid I would get lots of criticism about the missing forum descriptions and last thread info. Thank you for the positive comments and encouragement!

Re: Forum Indicies

I especially like the way the hyperlinks are now without an underline; it makes the whole design look cleaner.

The blogs look especially good.

What would ever make you say a thing like that?!!? We're always so optimistic and encouraging about whatever you implement! :cheesy:

Re: Forum Indicies

Hi. Yes, looks great and "cleaner" (which I always like).

Over the last week or so I come to Daniweb and I think: "What has changed? The colors? Something has changed." What I mean is, this is before I read of the new changes going on. I thought I was possibly imagining this. :lol: I am color-blind so I was not\ am not sure if color changes were\ are actually being made. Are there colors being modified also?

Good work.

Re: Forum Indicies

Regarding the colors, the listing of threads has been changed from white/pale yellow to white/pale grey ... with the hope that less orange on the page makes things easier to read.

Re: Forum Indicies

Ok, cool-- I thought this had changed. I like the white\ grey with the orange in certain areas. Grey is one of my favorite colors and white and orange, IMO, is a great color combination.

Your site not only looks very nice, it contains such a wealth of knowledge that is priceless for people like us. Thank-you for all your work.

Not so fast..... (there has to be a villian in the movie you know...)

With this new format I really don't get the point of keeping "Subcribe to a forum" feature. Previously it showed the last thread posted in that forum, but now it shows nothing, just the time last post was made ?

Smaller fonts and excessive use of gray colors make some things difficult to be seen.

Re: Forum Indicies

Firstly, no font sizes have been changed at all
Secondly ... hover over the little arrow button in the last post area.
Thirdly, forum subscriptions are useful if you want to receive an email notification.

Re: Forum Indicies

I also have to question why are you spending time on making things look prettier and neater when you should be spending time addressing things that actually are a problem.

Like newbies never, ever, ever using code tags? Cheers.


[edit] Also when you hover over the button there is no actual content about the post itself. That might be useful to have.

Also I didn't know about the hover part until to told sos. That makes it rather unintuitive [/edit]
