I clicked on that link and everything wasnt perfect. I hate everything and I want to die.

 

As strange as it will be to get used to DLP without vBulletin, if it helps with accessibility and it ends up easier for the staff to make the changes they want then it has to be a good thing.

Saying that though, I hate everything and want to die.

 

Here's what I have so far for my personal userstyle. https://userstyles.org/styles/141706/dlp-xenforo-theming

 

I clicked the link. The Holy Green was kept, but the shade is wrong - you can't see anything on it. Thus, I hated everything instantly.

 

It only really scales things when the screens actually fit the dimensions of said devices, Sesc.

Even then it's not egregious.

​

 

Agreeing that the colours (edit: of the text) are shit and too dark to have good contrast. Except for the quotes which are the most lurid sickly green I've ever seen on a webpage.


With the design in the forumsdev, you've replaced the forum description which I found hugely useful when I just joined, for the largely useless numbers of threads and posts. Can't you swap round the text and if you really want have the numbers as the onhover?

I mean, does anyone actually care about how many threads and posts are in each forum? I know I don't, but there may be a huge demand for it or people may have memorised the number of threads and know theres a new story when the number goes up. Which is an idea so ridiculous if it's true I hate everything and want to die.

 

Sorry Immet, but...

I use numbers instead of tags at AO3 and ffnet. I'm at the point where I type in a character ID # (ffn) or search word (ao3) and then glance at result count and see if it's moved before I bother to look at the list of results.

:<

However, between DLP having sensible limits on tags, the 'new posts' link combined with 'ignore thread', such is not the case on this forum. DLP is beautiful.

Raven told me that tags are much better in the new forum, so I for one will not waver in support of our glorious leader.

 

I hate your eyeballs and I want them to die.

Works surprisingly well on this out-of-date, locked-down version of IE (*shudder*) they make us use here at work. I'm down.

 

I for one welcome our new Xeno overlords.

Only half serious. I have a huge weakness for vbulletin's blockyness, but it's understandable that it needs to change at some point. My feelings are just a byproduct of nostalgia anyway. This is a fair change. Especially considering the points outlined in the original post.

Best of luck ironing out the kinks, eh.

 

Responsive Design only kicks in when the screen size is below certain width.

For example: 800px, 610px, 480px or 340px

The current xenForo font setting are:

Code:

font-size: 11pt;
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;

Versus vB DLP's:

Code:

font: 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;

 

It'd actually be really sweet if we got benchmark updates for how the redesign is going. Maybe every two-three days into dev, but that's just an uneducated suggestion. It could be something as simple as the screen grabs already posted. Then again that risks slowing the overhaul dramatically if feedback is too intense.

That said, it would allow the community to respond to design/ layout changes in a way that iterates rather than isolates.

Then again I'm sure the mods have enough on their plates with overhauling jazz already.

 

I clicked on the link and surprisingly didn't care much about the color or whatever.

But when I tried logging in it said I was banned.

I hope it's not indicative of my future and merely indicative of permission problems.

 

So this is the forum software AH and SB is using. I hope it doesn't have that followed thread notification problem like they do that seems to only notify you of new thread posts when you've recently viewed the thread.

 

I think people are just being jokingly obtuse. Everyone seems to agree that the move to Xenforo, while sad, is something that needs to go ahead.

People will always find something to bitch about for the lulz but most of us will be happy with the final skins.
