Rich Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 We are going to do our best to make this forum the best that we can, and a desired place for all CFL fans to come and get their CFL news, discussion, and debates. Have a suggestion to make the site better? Something you want to see? Post it here, lets get the debate going and we will try to implement the most sought after features.

Amaerth Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 As a web dev, I noticed that I find my eyes searching the page a bit too much if that makes sense. Maybe a more contrasting (read darker) background to the forum with alternating colours for forum posts would lend itself to a cleaner feel. Just my $.02 Other than that it looks great, functionality rocks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 One thing I've noticed early on, is that peoples' sig lines are too close to the actual post, so the sigs read like they're part of the post. It's a tiny little thing, but it's sorta distracting. If there was any way to put more space between the actual post and the sig line, that'd be cool!

That's #2 on my list, behind making threads with new posts in them have a bold title font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noeller Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Sweet dude -- good call. Loving so much about this already. The threads that are based on newspaper articles are fantastic with the "Original Story Here" link at the top, then the text. Looks great!!

TBURGESS Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Pretty nice job guys. My 2 cents: 1. Larger Avatar size (15K should do for 90x90) 2. Highlight the unread threads 3. Put Next and Back buttons at the end of the threads to navigate without going back to the main page like the Bombers site Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put Next and Back buttons at the end of the threads to navigate without going back to the main page like the Bombers site I've already recommended the first two, but for the third idea do you mean buttons to move to the previous or next THREAD or previous/next pages of a single thread?

Previous Thread --> Next Unread thread. Extra points for putting me at the last read post so I don't have to page up and down. Exactly like the Bombers site.

Atomic Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'd like a link/button at the top for "Return to Blue Bomber discussion", like the one at the bottom. I know it seems picky but I hate to scroll all the way to the bottom to get back to the forum, if say I click on a topic I've already read by accident.

Yep you're right it does. Seems odd to only have 10 posts per page in a thread. Can I change this in my personal settings or is this a "Board settings" thing?

Atomic Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 Are nested quotes limited? I kinda like how Riderfans allows only one nested quote. Two would be okay as well. OB would get ridiculous sometimes with the massive "quote trains". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kelownabomberfan Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 yeah I find it confusing regarding whether there are any unread posts. On the OB site if there is a new post in a thread it is highlighted. Here I can't tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluto Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 reporting that the ignore function is working as designed. you're brave guys for allowing an entire thread to make up your "honey-do" list. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogi Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'd like it if when I hover over a thread a preview of the first post would pop up. A quick reply box Also a link on the side that only brings up threads with new unread posts. And get rid of the "save draft" option for posts, or at least move its placement, right now its centered on my screen so it reflexively the button i try and click to submit my post. Might just be relative to my laptop screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaosmonkey Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I think that everyone that has all of the letters y e k n o m s a h c in their login name should be given free ice cream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be relative to my laptop screen. If you click on the Search bar above the twitter feed, there are links to read unread posts, new posts, active topics, etc. I've done the same thing with the save draft. It should probably be swapped positions with the Submit button. I will add the others to the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnzo Posted May 29, 2013 Report Share Posted May 29, 2013 I'm not a big fan of sigs, especially with the very subtle division between posts. They make the forum harder to read by jamming repeated off-topic text into the middle of the narrative. I don't think that sig files add too much value. They quickly become tedious and don't help identify the poster -- we have avatars and usernames for that. So if the site didn't have sigs, I think it would be better.
