Forum Changes

Postby why_spyder » Mon Dec 21, 2009 5:49 pm

I'm updating the look of the forum, so don't be surprised to see some changes over the next week or two. Hopefully the changes will be more appealing to everyone. If you have any thoughts or suggestions, please let me know.

One question I do have is does everyone like the profiles being on the right (username, picture, location, etc.) or do you prefer them on the left? Most forums have them on the left and so I was thinking of moving them to the left, but some feedback would be great.

That is how I am too - probably why I prefer it on the left as well.

I'm just brainwashed from years of reading forums to look for it on the left.

I would have to agree on the right is nice.. Makes it easier to designate who posted what..

I will be working on moving the profiles to the left next, but I did just finish changing a few things to the aesthetics of the forum. Please let me know if anything isn't showing up correctly or if you are having problems with images (like the logo) loading too slowly.

    Built new buttons (New Topic, Post Reply, etc.)
    Built new icons (Read/Unread Topics, Stickies, etc.)
    Added background to forum
    Changed logo format (to allow transparency)

Hopefully the changes are for the better but you guys & gals will be the final judge. :thumb:

Alright, how about an update. As you may notice, I got the profiles moved to the left and as far as I can tell everything is aligned correctly and loading fine. The only problem I don't have quite solved yet is in the Inbox. Currently, if you check your Inbox and view a message from someone that is online AND has an avatar of 120 X 120 pixels the 'Online' banner is behind the avatar instead of in front or to the side. A minor quirk but I'm still seeking help to rectify it.

The other option is to limit avatars to 100 X 100 - which would be the easy fix.

Why not, the other forums limit to 80 x 80. Only Aquatic Photography has 120 x 120.
