Add margins on the side. Doing this will help kill alot of the blank white space that the current layout has. For reference, I based the size of the margins on that of http://forums.unknownworlds.com/ which also runs Vanilla. That said, they can probably be made bigger since we still have alot of empty space.
Made the background for stickies slightly darker so that they’re easier to identify.
Removed the space on top. This (along with the margins) makes the forum have more consistency with the front page.
Actually, I don’t. I’m not that important, though I am a mod of a very small section. The solution to the visual problems is solved very [quickly and easily](Replacement Themes for Enhanced Browsing Pleasure
There is, though I haven’t figured out the logic to it yet. Some posts are flagged as spam until a mod has had a chance to review it, but this only happens to a type of user whose account is unverified for the anti-spam filter. I just verified you (and I’ve spent the past 2-3 days verifying a few hundred members) so it won’t happen to you again.
At the risk of looking like an idiot, can anyone tell me how to change my quotes at the bottom of my posts? I can’t seem to find a way of editing them when I access my SRK profile.
I guess it’s MINES turn to add to the pile in this nice thread.
I could list everything wrong that I don’t like, and things that are wrong from a design standpoint, but most people already got those covered already, so I’ll get down to the nitty gritty:
I liked when messages I hadn’t yet read were individually tagged inside threads. I know it shows the time it was posted now, but it’s a lot harder for me to flip through a page and find where I left off.
Apparently I can’t delete posts anymore?
Autoplay ads are back, and they screw up the header.
I am patiently waiting for something to show me that switching away from vBulletin was ever a good idea. It was seriously the high point of the site.
*Edit: This was the last good color scheme on the website that was designed by the ownership. Even without all the images working, it’s better than everything that has come after it. It’s neutral, has no black or white, it had contrast, it was simple, and it was overall attractive.
I’m not sure if this is a problem with the forum, or just SRK being skynet and having a mindset of its own.
But i go to the forum, i was logged off so i decide to sign in—> I’m banned
Huh?
Then i tried to do it again and see why, but now i can log in fine and it works.
But what I mean though is that I actually asked around a little bit and one of the mods, I think it was Trouble Brewing, said it didn’t look like I had enough points for an auto ban. I had never trolled. The worst i had ever really done was calling someone a fag or retarded once or twice, and the occasionally chewing out because someone was being unanimously stupid. It didn’t even give a reason. Signed on SRK one day, and a window pops up. “You’re banned. Come back in two weeks.” I had no idea what I had done wrong and still don’t.
If you’ve ever had a moment where you come home and your parents tell you your grounded, and you ask why, and they say it’s because of grades, Imagine that moment if they didn’t tell you it was because of grades. You’d be sitting in your room thinking, “WTF did I do?”. That’s what that was like.
