Just free flowing thought from a well lubed mind.....and recently cleaned keyboard.
After creating a thread and entering the topic in the subject line I can't just hit the tab key to move directly into the text field, I have to mouse into it. I tried using my powers of telepathy but they don't extend to the webernets. I can get over that. But since this is a "findings and fixes" board for now I think we should be nitpickey. Especially since the admins have done a great job so far pimping out the new board and we all know they want to roll out
Ultra Premium product.
I don't like the flags yet. Maybe I will but I would like to see a different method to illustrate posts I have not read. Maybe something simple like bold/italics denoting things read or not. I think the flags are too big anyway. Maybe even a small arrow would be an option. I think the flags look bad. They drag down the look in my opinion.
Is there a way for a poster to set default font size and such for their own posts? One that would be automatic. I've tried and I can't.
There should be a "How To" thread stuck on the top when this is launched for the basics in order to help the guys who weren't involved in the testing and may have some issues since they didn't get to play in the sandbox for a bit like we did. Fair is fair. I would guess a lot of regulars are going to have questions about all the things we did. I nominate Trio Bio to stay up late for several nights putting that thread together and properly formatting it for the rest of the board.
What about the homepage? It's got
no @#$%&. It looks architectural. Some color variation between the different boards would be good and would solve it for now.
I still think that the subject in an original post should be in larger font, and bolder than the responses (other when I respond to a post of course).
We need a martini smilie and a smilie with a wine glass too. And maybe a few that are more friendly as in "just messing with ya".
I think the smilies in the subject lines have to go away for sure.
Things I love....since we have all been beating you up about what we don't like.
The shading at the top of each text box in the responses to a post are sweet and a very nice visual touch.
Embedded vid. Titties!!! Same with URL's and pics!
The graphics are crisper looking to me, much cleaner.
It seems to move faster and I have not gotten the message that it's expired. So the software is for sure better.
Quoting and articulating text is so simple compared to what it was that I think it will lead to fewer misunderstandings.
The bullet point option is a good one and I think it'll help people be more brief and to the point. I should have used it for this post. But there wasn't a "how to" posted yet hehehe.
Excellent job so far.
When do we see a Blackberry and iPhone app for the Herd?
Ok then my work here is done for tonight.
