Forum design suggestion.

[fusermajig]

I'm really liking the new look. I love that graphic on the top right. One thing I'd suggest is for the gauges on each topic, I know from working with these forums that they have a new replies since last visit avatar, and a regular no replies since last visit avatar. I would see if there's a way you could find or alter that gauge maybe. Maybe have the needle be at the "full" or high end for new posts, and have the way it is now be for no posts. Just a small suggestion to make it a bit easier to see what's been posted since we've last been here. Keep up the good work!

I just noticed that you already somewhat implimented this feature. I just finally noticed that the gauge is a shade duller when nothing is new, and black with more contrast when there is something new. I would still suggest something that would stand out a bit more. Just my $0.02.

Thanks for the input... shades are fairly close. It will be worked on. you could always go to the "quick links" on the nav bar and click "today's posts" i you visit often enough... :)

Done! Thanks for the suggestion, I actually noticed that just went on the back burner! keith is working me like a circus elephant over here!

Keep them coming!

[fusermajig]

It might just be me, but it's still too close to really notice a difference. Like, I have to really look close at them to realize what's new and what's not. I would suggest something more noticable at quick glance. And people could become not lazy and go to "today's post" but this is the internet. Just suggesting since the feature is there, it might as well be put to use to differentiate. Good work though guys!

Wait...as after I did several "Hard" refreshes and they didn't do anything, I posted that last comment and it finally changed them. Goofy ass shit. Good job though. Definitely better.

Thanks, at least someone appreciates me around here... I learned that from my wife!

[fusermajig]

lol. Gotta love the wives. Nah, you're doing a great job. Big :thumbsup: to you.

[fusermajig]

Another suggestion. For the headers on the different forums, you should make that dark red against the black a shade lighter. It's a little hard to read it all around. You have to really squint hard to see a lot of words.

Oh, and keith, make me the Toyota mod, lol.

Funny story to that, really.

Funny story to that, really.Is that what "he" said? :rolleyes:

[KGP]

After closer inspection... does that one thumb have a little brown on it?

[fusermajig]

Alright listen, that's enough gay talk from you. I put that picture up for your enjoyment.

That's a childrens large police costume I tried on for halloween. I couldn't find an adult for shit. I went shopping for a costume on halloween, and apparently a police uniform is popular among adults.

And wait. The best part is, you had to look at that picture more than once.

It was like a train wreck... I looked away, but it was SO crazy, I had to look again.

[fusermajig]

I'm just that kind of guy.
