New Board Suggestion Box Thread - Page 5

James McCloud · 12-04-2005, 10:12 PM

That's pretty much the reason right there.

Salter · 12-04-2005, 10:38 PM

Any way to have them NOT deleted when you clean out your temp internet files?

Thrik · 12-04-2005, 10:53 PM

I've never come across Firefox mixing up or losing my favicons, regardless of temporary file deletion and whatnot. It may help to explicitly specify the favicon in the header, though.

<link rel="Shortcut Icon" type="image/ico" href="http://www.3dmm.com/favicon.ico" />

Lmac · 12-05-2005, 01:02 AM

I'm thinking some of the post icons need to be changed.

For example, I know Jaymond was trying to get the red dot back on threads you've posted in, as it's easier to see than the blue.
But, also for closed threads which haven't been read yet, there is no icon telling you that the thread IS closed, until you mark all forums read.

Aaron Haynes · 12-05-2005, 01:10 AM

I really like most everything about the new design, nothing immediately springs to mind regarding major changes. The only suggestion I have is to get the Reviews section up and running as soon as possible; as of now there's no easy way to find reviews for a specific movie, which isn't good for new releases, and people seem to be holding back on detailed comments in the movie threads. How exactly is the review system going to work, out of curiosity, and how soon do you think you'll be able to get it working?

I'm on IE, any way to help?

Lmac is rebelling! De-mod him, quick!

Battletoads · 12-05-2005, 02:01 AM

please change the act tags back to just italics, with dark red font.

Damage Jackal · 12-05-2005, 02:08 AM

I think making the text black would be a goshdarned good idea.

Battletoads · 12-05-2005, 02:09 AM

nah, it'd probably contrast too much.
hello damage jackal.

edit, naw it looks pretty good.

Damage Jackal · 12-05-2005, 02:12 AM

Yeah, I think it looks a lot better.

Aaron Haynes · 12-05-2005, 02:19 AM

Crisp....bold....refreshing.

For a font color with a strong presence that's easy on the eyes, choose black text.

Damage Jackal · 12-05-2005, 02:21 AM

I think the problem is that the grey doesn't contrast enough.

And if we make the text black, we wouldn't need to change hyperlinks at all.

Shaun · 12-05-2005, 02:35 AM

The gray looks better. I vote it stays. Leave it alone.

Battletoads · 12-05-2005, 02:27 AM

seriously. * change this shit *

Shaun · 12-05-2005, 02:36 AM

There should also be some sort of archive list in the movies section. It's not good for browsing purposes to have it be like a regular forum.

Aaron Haynes · 12-05-2005, 02:43 AM

The MOVIES icon on the top left takes you to an archive of all movie releases with no 3DMM Chat threads, if that's what you mean.

Bob Toasted · 12-05-2005, 02:47 AM

I think we should have two levels of bold. That way I can use Regular Text, Bold Text, and Super Bold Text.

Zygar · 12-05-2005, 05:55 AM

The new act tag is hideous. Please change it back to the way it was on the old board.

Gorosaurus · 12-05-2005, 06:17 AM

The thing about the act tag is that I think it's really getting on people's nerves because it looks exactly like failed attempts to mimic the old act codes. You know, when people would type out each part of the code manually and fail to italicize/whatever. And it just stuck out like a sore thumb.

I'd agree that I don't like the new act code much at all, but there are higher priorities

how long could it take? it's not like ANYBODY likes it the way it is. it couldn't take more than like 5 minutes to change it back to the way it was.

Lord Blazer · 12-05-2005, 10:35 PM

Current gripes:
Act tags. At least change bold to italics.
* poop *
* poop *

Change the "HOT THREAD" icon to the same as the normal thread icon. I hate that ugly orange-brown 3d.

Christmas themeeee!

At least? That was the only change made!

I've just made them both bold AND italic. Happy now? Now everyone gets what they wanted.

Rabid Dinosaur · 12-05-2005, 06:43 AM

I think it's fine. Just make it so it doesn't start a new line.

Samuel Deacon · 12-05-2005, 09:34 AM

*will use the code version until it gets changed*

I was just going to make a post about the subscribed threads in User CP not working, but I found the option.
