Did the Forums just get funky?

Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

My 2 or 3 cents :)

The view of the homepage now is very pleasing, IMO. But the forums could really do without the Quick Nav section. Again, just my opinion, as its been said more than once :)

Good work though Diabloii.net team, honestly, its good to see some change after this long, and everyone here can attest to that, it was due for a makeover.

*slips back into the shadows* :mask:
 
Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

Buttttt! There's still no response from the Admin responsible. Not really what you'd expect from a sudden make over.

i gotta agree here. it was nice going from one forum straight to another through the old navigation links on the left side fo the site.



 
Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

I don't really care for the new forum look either. For me, it feels clumsy trying to navigate to set items, or other items lists. The information seems to be a bit harder to get to. It also feels like it's all packed into the main page, and left much of the good stuff missing.

A side note, in the trade forums, clicking the navigation link for "Diabloii.Net Forums" it says it's not found. The links point to forums.purediablo.com/forums, and it's actually just forums.purediablo.com
 
Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

It was removed because some of the OTF regulars decided to take the thread downhill with trollish and general flame comments.

If that sort of thing happened/happens in this forum, watch out ... my sword will strike faster than people can blink.

The banstick has been replaced by the bansword? That would irreversibly result in only permabans. That sword is so legendary, even a slight touch at least results in a multimonth ban.
 
Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

Both pics are actually very solid feedback. Good work, Synx. I hope the Admins will make use of that detailed info. Though, you didn't agree with the linkbar heading down while scrolling?
 
Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

I'd prefer that the forums went back to the original size, with all links on top or bottom, but if the sidebar is here to stay then a scrolling bar would indeed be a lot more functional.
 
Re: Did the Forums just get funky?

Yeah I checked the forums on a 4:3 screen and it was truly awful. The current setting is only doable on a widescreen.

I've whipped up two screenshots showing what I believe is wrong with the design, and how to make it a bit more user friendly.

Personally, I think that getting a horizontal ad from jinx instead of that vertical one is pretty critical.

with the 2nd screenshot, one could lose the open space by clicking on the up arrow button near posting rules

forum jump is fine where it is, hit the end key or scroll to the bottom of a page and its in the same spot, unless a thread is shorter than the jinx ad

Synx -

The bottom of the forum hasn't changed. We won't be moving the ad for our jinx shop to the bottom of the site, underneath the threads or to the top of the site where the Rules text is. Because you block the adverts from purediablo.com you can't see that the advertising banner is there. For someone blocking our means of keeping the site online for everyone else you're very comfortable in telling us how we should do things. Neither can you see the ad in the left nav bar for our shop, again because you're blocking the adverts.

The font size for names will stay at this size. I don't want to increase it or bold it. I'm keeping Pals and Mods named bold.

Those suggesting more links in the nav menu - Yes, that's probably going to happen.

Those suggesting less links in the nav menu - read above.

I don't recall anyone saying we need more links in the nav-bar. More working and less double links is what is suggested. Together with the navigation scrolling down as we do. You haven't addressed that issue yet.

I do somewhere.

The navigation moving down as you scroll down page won't be implemented.
