Haha @Niall ignore my previous comment then. Thanks for confirmation, I appreciate that.
Just a bit bright I think. Got my sun glasses on here surfing. Nice light grey background might be better
Are you referring to the background colour of posts or the wider page?
It used to ignore posts that quoted someone, really?
I'd guess he's referring to the wider page color Niall, I've noticed it is very bright white, not to the extent of wearing sunglasses though
Wider page. Background of posts is beautiful
I'm still getting an "HTTP Error 400" on my phone using Chrome but the site works when trying to access it with a different browser.
No I did find a way to get to it eventually, but i'll do my normal and leave it until closer to the deadline. But cheers for the link, i'll probably use that Sunday morning.
I second this, would be great to bring that style back, it's too thin.Here's a random post from 2008:
See how clean it is?
Now compare it with XenForo2:
There's too much empty space at the top and bottom of the post.
Also, the top and bottom right hand corners have too much going on. Can they be reduced into a dropdown or a set of icons?
Agreed
Just got an alert with the message included. Have you fixed it already? That was quick!Great job @Niall and the gang, just a couple of user experience observations (not the end of the world, just feedback).
The e-mail alerts coming through since the site update are just saying a watched thread has "a new reply". The old alerts used to quote all or some of that reply content so you knew if you wanted to click the link to go to the thread or not. Is there any simple way of restoring the old feature of quoting the message within the e-mail alert?
On mobile, when viewing any forum thread view, the titles used to be ranged top left of each entry in red (if pressed, link would take you to the start of the thread) and latest reply was smaller in red/grey bottom right along with date and time (if pressed, link would take you to the last reply of the thread). The new design has the latest reply directly under the title ranged left and it's hard to press without hitting the thread title by mistake and going to the OP.
Cheers again
My bad. Ignore content addon permissions weren't set up. Working now? (It's a different addon so the links/buttons may be in a different place than before)
Yes. I'm fast like that!
Can you be a bit more specific? Screenshot?
Thanks Jo. Quite a few things that need addressing in the design and I'll get to them.Another one for the "it's different, and that disturbs me," pile. On mobile, the top of the main forum pages for forums with sub forums comes out looking weird. The subforum links kind of float around in white space looking a bit scruffy. Giving them a more boxed in feeling (maybe just with a header like the one that identifies the sticky thread) might help.
The space near the top of the page feels dominated by the new thread fixed and floating buttons. And then you see the filter box which seems to be disproportionately important - especially given the search etc are quite small - are people really that keen on the filter feature?
Once into the thread list, it looks ok to me. But it just feels like I've had to jump past a page or two before I get there.
Yeah I know I'm just whining.
Yes good point.Just a thought on the mobile layout again. The reply button at the top of the page has a really high status and prime real estate.
I'd suggest removing it to give more space for a page number/jump button to go up there. In any case, people should read the other posts first not just hit reply. So make them at least get the bottom of the page before seeing a reply button.
Sure.
Somebody needs to make a list of all these requests in here so I can keep track of them. Fighting some fires elsewhere on the backend of the site so front end improvements will be looked at later. But there’s a growing number of them in this thread...Sure.
There's a lot of white space in there around the name, either there should be some borders/shadows to curb it or align the names to the left like it was before.
Yep, works lovely. I just didn't get a notification that I got an alert when you quoted me. Alert was there when I clicked on bell, just no small "1" on top of bell icon.
