M. Bates Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Firstly, the font size is one size too small for my tastes. Secondly... the padlock icon ( ) is too similar to the standard icon ( Apart from that, all is well! ------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Yeah, I was looking into both of those actually. Be on the lookout over the next few days as I may try to enact both. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Okay, I got a new padlock icon that is more obvious but I am not sure about the font size, its seems rather TOO big at 800x600 and 1024x768. I am going to set it back to the old setting but I am curious what other people say. I believe its the same as it was before the upgrade though.

109 Gustav Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I'm using 1024x768, and it's a bit too small. Maybe use a different font? Could you come up with a slightly less obvious padlock though? A compromise between the current and previous ones is needed, IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madmatt Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Well, I think its important to have an obvious Padlock Icon and thats pretty much what we got now. I will see what I might be able to come up with in the future though. I need to doublecheck the font size and type from the old forum still.

GillFish Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Madmatt, My humble request: please change the color of the 'Pages' page number. When unread, the page number is white; when read the page number turns to a cream-like color, which is very hard to distinguish from white. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoePrivate Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I'm at 1280x720 and I like the font size, but I may very well be in the minority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_tom_w Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I would prefer a larger font size like it was before. One size up from this one would be great I think. Thanks The colours Look GREAT Good Work Matt! -tom w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juju Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 For a larger fontsize all you windows users try this: Hit Control and at the same time scroll your mousewheel down. Works for now. I haven't figured out yet how to do this without the scrollwheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmead Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I think the padlock is just fine. Clearly different. At 1024x768 the font is fine for me on a 15" monitor. I agree about the color difference being almost indistinguishable for read and unread. Looks great and lots of great work done, many thanks.

Madmatt Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Well, it will be visited and unvisted links, there is no special read and unread color thread. I will look at making the visited link color a little brighter. Madmatt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

109 Gustav Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 The font size is better now. Looks like it's the same size as the old forum. Can you make the really big text, like "Displayed Name," "Instant Graemlins," and "Message" smaller, though? They really are too big.

kmead Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 Well now I can have my iMac on the coffee table with my feet up, Airport connection, with my beer in my hand and read the forum while sitting back.

Wilhammer Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 The yellow font on the header bar that starts with Hello,Username [log out] is hard to see. I am running Windows, BTW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 The Yellow Directory Tree (links) are hard to read. How about Red? Also their font is a wee bit too small. Can you bump that up by 2 bits or whatever the term is. (Can't remember the typing term.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Emrys Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 This is much better! The white and yellow script is a little faint against the light blue background, but since we really don't need to spend a lot of time reading those once we are familiar with them, I don't see that it is worth the trouble of hassling with them. Madmatt's time will be better spent helping get CM2 on the road IMHO. Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMHPaladin Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I don't know if it's just me, but the default text size seems far far too large - and I'm running at 1280x on a 19" monitor. In the old forum I used to always go to View -> Text Size -> Smaller and when you upgraded the forum I breathed a sigh of relief that I didn't have to do that anymore... Most other UBB-based forums that you will go to will have it on that size setting. Here are three examples for your viewing pleasure... http://www.simhq.com/cgi-bin/boards/cgi-bin/Ultimate.cgi http://bb.cs-skins.net/bbcgi/ultimatebb.cgi http://www.dayofdefeatmod.com/forums/ultimatebb.cgi Regardless though I still will come (just since I know you guys were holding your breath to find out . Oh and one more thing - please get rid of the "edited by" messages, since they seem to show up above the signatures... Anyway, keep up the good work, [ 04-13-2001: Message edited by: KMHPaladin ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leeo Posted April 14, 2001 Share Posted April 14, 2001 I think the forum looks super-great. Thanks for all the work that went into it. IMHO, most of the recent (and subsequent) postings are not much more than whining and nit-picking. Mainly, I just want to send my Thanks to BTS for making this forum available to all of us. Great job, and keep up the good work! Leeo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
