New Forum Design

[Vita_Vee]

Hi

I have updated the design of the forum.

Do you like it?

[Vita_Vee]

I have also added some new options for our posts:

We can add warnings like this one:

Hey this is a warning... Tell whatever you want

Or you can add alerts...

Hey! That's an alert... Nothing dangerous though

Or just some information boxes...

Did you know that the Earth's average speed of revolution about the sun is 29.8 kilometers per second?

You can also indent a sentence...
That's an indented sentence...

And you can shout
Ohhhh... What's that?

Here is how it works:

Code:

[alert]texthere[/alert]
[warn]texthere[/warn]
[info]texthere[/info]
[indent]textHere[/indent]
[fl]BigTextHere[/fl]

Hey Vita,very nice design.Looks proffesional.

What a pleasant surprise...

Great new design, VV! Love the new functionality.

Umm... a suggestion if you don't mind... I don't know if it is just me, but I feel the new 'New' icon on threads with new posts is sticking out too much... Maybe make it a bit smaller, and less contrast?

VV > Nothing against the new design but I kind of like the old design for the following reasons:

1. you get a snapshot at the index page of who's online and who's been active recently. I miss that

2. The pencil background makes the text hard to read at times and takes the focus away from the content.

But i like the alerts,warnings and the huge text

Ok I have updated this "new" icon, it's a small green arrow now, it's less intrusive, thanks for the suggestion.

On the home page there is the who's online box, I see it here, you don't have it? I hope it's not displayed to moderators only... Could you please confirm that on the index page of the forum you don't have the who's online box?

I have blured it and reduced the contrast, is it better like that or should I remove it completely?

VV, yes the blurred pencil is much better. Makes the text more readable

Hi VV,

The new design looks great but the content is even better.

I would suggest getting rid of the pencil background altogether if you can. It is somehow distracting when reading a post.

Thanks,
JV
