Title: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: jv on 18 August 2012, 09:45
Changes eh? No one likes them do they. Forum had been running very out of date software for a while now. I had put off upgrading because (it's well scary, man) the last forum theme was not compatible. So for ages I had been messing about with a test site, trying different designs etc. The old theme wasn't very 'crisp' by current standards and didn't look all that great on mobile devices.

Feel free to be grumpy and moan etc but I reckon this is working pretty well now, might just need some minor tweaks along the way :)

Looking smart JV :afro: and looks great on my mobile using Chrome :afro: Not sure If I'm imagining this, but it seems to load quicker on my mobile too! Top work  :smiley:



PS: these smilies rock :cool:

Lots of improvements with the new forum software so hopefully it is indeed quicker.
Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: Steve_PD on 18 August 2012, 10:53
Trouble with the fixed width is that most photos you now have to scroll across to see the other half. Anyway of limiting the max resolution for photos?

Might be sorting that when you get 5 mins. :kiss:

And if you can enforce sig limits, do it! 650 x 150 px.  :wink: Do the image restriction too, unless there is a way you can have them automatically resized?

Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: jv on 18 August 2012, 11:29
Forum should now attempt to re-size images posted - only new ones, it doesn't go back and address old ones.

Sig pic limit introduced, upped to 700 by 150 as that now fits in well with the layout.

Not my cup of tea.  The colours aren't easy on the eye with the fonts being used.

I would have used a blue instead of the orange, and had a crisper font.

Thanks Nino, it's mostly all done now. Location is still a profile field but is no longer displayed by default. It might have been a mod to put it there on the last one, have some vague memory of that!

It would be handy to have it back if possible as I know for a fact all I'll get asked "is where are you based"!!

Like the overall look but I dislike the font used on the main pages - I find I have to read them twice as they aren't the clear to read due to the squashed font...

pity about the picture size's but I understand the need to have them smaller... can it be done so that if you click on them it would open up the original uploaded size? Just so you can look at them in more detail??

Still think we need more Smileys.... you could stick another 10 on without upsetting the reply page.. :wink:
Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: Ginge 35Edition on 18 August 2012, 12:42
Font needs to be bigger, but other than hat I'll get used to it. Perhaps the 'new' comment identifier could be a little clearer?
Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: Agreeable Slick on 18 August 2012, 12:46
I keep forgetting I've upped the posts per page to 50, then get a little confused when it takes ages to scroll down the page. :laugh:

I think the location field mod would be a neat touch to add, as when perusing classifieds I always look there first.

Is there the option to put that field at the bottom of the front page to see 10 most recently replied to threads back? I miss that. :sad:
Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: jv on 18 August 2012, 12:52
x4mgs:

As a quick fix to the location, add a line in your sig but yes, I'll look into that.

The thread title font is the only real thing I had concerns with, I've changed the size from the theme default to make it less squashed already!

Pictures will only be re-sized on loading so you can always right click 'open image in new tab' style - the images are still wherever they are.

Ginge:

This icon? (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/Themes/citiez_20a/images/english/new.gif)
Have made a few font size changes already but obviously there will never be universal agreement! Where are you referring to?

Slick:

The most recent posts is a suggested big impact on homepage load time so that went a while back. Huge list of birthdays have now also gone for the same reason. Spent a lot of time going through the performance improvement stuff for hooj smf forums so don't really want to go back.

Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!
Post by: Agreeable Slick on 18 August 2012, 12:57
Fair enough then. Don't go back if it makes the upgrade pointless.

Otherwise new look is cool. Give it a week and everyone will be used to it :cool:

PS: To those who say font is a bit small just change the zoom level to ~110%. Instant cure. OR get specs :tongue:

I don't understand the moaning.  :grin:

Looks great, it's still the same user friendly forum we are used to, format, locations of threads etc.   As far as pictures go, since I've been here I've always shared 800x600's as its a good all rounder.  Not too small a picture and usually guarantees snappy load times and full visibility.   Nothing worse than a thread full of big pics that either a) take longer to load or b) make mobile viewing a pain.

Although I wish the site wasn't so narrow, I understand the reasoning.   I must say that  it looks great on the phone. 

So when are you supplying picture hosting space again then?  :laugh:  :lipsrsealed:

Oh and why did you choose to lose the sarcasm banner? :grin:
Title: Re: wtf it looks all weird?!

Odd font was the only thing I wasn't sure of, particularly the weird letter K's! All swapped out now, Chrome developer tools are just too useful :grin:

Forum storage of images will never happen!

Not a fan at all look wise, prefer the old color scheme, everything seems more bulky and I hate the width issue its like I have two huge grey area's each side and a little table of 2inches wide for text bang in the middle, if I wanted to read things that narrow I would of used my phone.

However I do enjoy some of the new features.

Why would making the site completely sh!t get more members? I joined this site as it was the one I liked most and thought looked best, now it is as crap as the rest, I don't mind change to improve things, but I hate things getting changed and being worse because of it, I will certainly be on here less because of it, I did like using this site, now I just can't be bothered with it, either have the problem that golf-sib mentioned where there is a lot of wasted space each side or the page is too wide for the screen and I have to scroll side to side to read posts.

Wooahaha, really feeling the love there bob23.

Tell you what, have a little read of articles like http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/02/fixed-vs-fluid-vs-elastic-layout-whats-the-right-one-for-you/ and http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/fixedvsrelative.shtml

Then do some research into browser resolutions across today's very varied device and browser platforms.

Think about things such as how easy it is for users on high resolutions to use the browser zoom feature versus how annoying it is on small res screens to have to scroll about the place. Ponder the expansion of tablet devices and how even they have wildly different graphics resolution. It goes without saying that you need to allow for a plethora of mobile devices but I am sure that was obvious to you.

Next, look at SMF2 themes, build yourself a test website and try out different designs. Remember you are likely to need to customise extensively, perhaps even contract out some of this work.

When all that is done, come back and present your design conclusions. How long do you need?

Not a fan at all look wise, prefer the old color scheme, everything seems more bulky and I hate the width issue its like I have two huge grey area's each side and a little table of 2inches wide for text bang in the middle, if I wanted to read things that narrow I would of used my phone.

However I do enjoy some of the new features.

as suggested before ! increase zoom, i'm at 120% - very little grey down either side, no scrolling in piccies required and I dont need my glasses to read  :lipsrsealed:

Post by: bob23 on 19 August 2012, 19:37
Wooahaha, really feeling the love there bob23.

Tell you what, have a little read of articles like http://coding.smashingmagazine.com/2009/06/02/fixed-vs-fluid-vs-elastic-layout-whats-the-right-one-for-you/ and http://www.thesitewizard.com/archive/fixedvsrelative.shtml

Then do some research into browser resolutions across today's very varied device and browser platforms.

Think about things such as how easy it is for users on high resolutions to use the browser zoom feature versus how annoying it is on small res screens to have to scroll about the place. Ponder the expansion of tablet devices and how even they have wildly different graphics resolution. It goes without saying that you need to allow for a plethora of mobile devices but I am sure that was obvious to you.

Next, look at SMF2 themes, build yourself a test website and try out different designs. Remember you are likely to need to customise extensively, perhaps even contract out some of this work.

When all that is done, come back and present your design conclusions. How long do you need?

All done, worked it out, my conclusion is, Wait for it....... How it used to be :wink:
