Forum Feedback - December 2010

[cdj]

We'll have a new one each month, open for all to give feedback.

If we missed something in the previous month's thread, post again here. Feedback can be anything, ranging from smilies to new content idea, etc. Feel free to PM if you don't want to post an idea publicly.

Think we can get strikethroughs as a formatting option?

Ability to embed website into a forum post.

CDJ and I have looked around but can't seem to find how to make this happen. Anyone have any ideas.

[JeffHCross]

Anyone have any ideas.

As I've said in our PMs ... don't do it. It could only be bad.

[cdj]

Is it possible to customize the (quote)(/quote) tag appearance? Namely that the italics it adds seems to drastically reduce legibility.

Got it.

[cdj]

We're testing out a new style (skin). Let us know what you think. The blue buttons will need reskinned manually, I believe.

[JeffHCross]

cdj, which one are you talking about? Bullish?

Got it.

W000t! What was the fix?

Yes. Found it when creating/editing the Bullish skin. The italics quote fix was buried inside.

[JBHuskers]

The new skin is done now ... I kinda like it. Makes things a little sharper.

[JeffHCross]

I'd like to see a color / slickness change to the "Reply to Thread" button, but otherwise I'm liking Bullish.

[Marlowe]

um...how do you reset your skin? was checking them out and got stuck in mobile...don't see the setting to change it back.

[JeffHCross]

I actually haven't found a way to get out of mobile, Marlowe ...

EDIT: Marlowe, try this link: http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/for....php?styleid=4 ... that should reset you back to Bullish.

[Marlowe]

thanks!

[cdj]

Right now, we have 'Bullish' as the new default skin for new members, but I believe that existing members will stay on the Original unless they change manually or unless we do something crafty behind the scenes forcing a change.

We plan on reskinning some of the buttons, but so far feedback for 'Bullish' has been very positive and I think we'll be keeping it as the site default. It was redesigned by hand, so if you catch a lot of blue peeking through somewhere (besides Reply & New Thread buttons), let us know in this thread and also let us know of any further ideas or tweaks for it.

[JeffHCross]

The fact that it took this long to notice is probably saying something, but a) we don't have a January thread & b) Bullish is missing the "Today's Posts" link we previously added to the other skins.
