Title: New Site issues and request
Post by: admin on September 27, 2017, 03:19:29 PM
Hey Guys,
As I am sure you can tell, and probably hate, the new site is up.  Let me know if anything is broken/not working as expected.

They have a white outline, do you want a different background color? Also, added a white dividing line to the posted area.

Yes and I got feedback from people who said it was way better then before, but what issues do you have with it and we can see what we can do.

honestly, i think i will just get used to it (hate change) but liked how it felt more personal before which i can see with ice nine picture that on computer view it is the same where there are avatars, post count rep, sigs, etc .. it's easier for me to read and separate individual posts versus viewing them stacked on op of each other .. does any of that make sense?

You might need to clear you cache on your browser or something, I am confirming it on windows 7 (that is what your OS looks like) but mine likes like the ones here:

You might need to clear out your cache, your browser may have the old sites CSS still.

I got really used to the full site on my phone. Not sure how I feel about the mobile theme. Am I meant to be seeing avatars? Where's the Gnar button?

I am currently viewing slap from a samsung device running opera however this should work on any browser: I went to the browser settings menu and switched the user agent to "desktop". Also, this always works with shitty youtube refusing to display some videos on mobile because they are supposedly unavailable for that. The desktop mode displays everything the same way my laptop does (also opera) and the mobile view leaves avatars and clutter aside. I don't  know about gnar button but the ignore button is missing even on the desktop version and also I am not ignored any more so maybe that function is not available from now on...

Just a heads up.

If you use rss you gotta update your feed like below for it to work again.

http://www.slapmagazine.com/index.php?type=rss;action=.xml

you can add ";limit= (number from 5-255)"  to the end to increase the amount of posts in your feed. default is 5

my old feed had something before the /index.php that isnt there anymore.

In the Chrome menu on mobile I checked the box labeled "request Desktop Site" and that worked for me, does that work for you?

I have them in a section updated on the site, but they are all super broken cause no one is updating/maintaing links/images etc... I am trying to figure out if it is worth putting up a 50% broken portion of the site, what do you guys think?

Would like avatars also. Also the colors between posts are too similar IMO. Old way was more clear where it all changes from one post to another. Now it's all a bit of a mess on mobile especially. Also getting to the unread link on mobile was difficult. After clicking on my avatar the drop down menu went behind the search bar, which made clicking the links a bit difficult.

Other than that, I like it. Seems much faster. 👍

The overall readability is much better, but I think the links still show up in Black. I'd make them white or the new light blue color you chose for the board titles.

Also getting to the unread link on mobile was difficult. After clicking on my avatar the drop down menu went behind the search bar, which made clicking the links a bit difficult.

Other than that, I like it. Seems much faster. 👍

Made some changes, but am struggling with the whitespace on the left now, anybody got any creative solutions?

I wanna thank you for all the effort you’re putting into this.

Here’s some suggestions for mobile:
1. Avatars below the username.
2. Move those icons w/e they are elsewhere (after the user name perhaps?)
3. Move the quote button with the ignore etc. buttons
4. Make rep & post count visible
5. Reduce the white space by having the thread title & time next to the avatar. I tend to forget which thread I’m in and liked that you could check above every post.
6. Somehow make the sigs more clearly sigs. Now it can be confusing as fuck.
7. Make the colors between posts differ more. There needs to be more contrast for it to be clearer when it changes to a new post.
8. Those lines that the actual post is between are good. Maybe put a similar line (but not the same) between posts.
9. Make the reply box bigger.
10. Search box masks the drop down from the avatar.

I attached some pics to make it clearer.
1st is about it being unclear when a post ends and a new one begins.
2nd is about sigs being too similar to posts.
3rd is about unclarity as well. Is it an empty post or a post from someone without a sig?
4th is about the reply box.
5th is about the drop down.

The mobile view is brutal, there so much wrong with it I'm not sure where to start. One major thing is why is the whole thing got the margin or padding reducing the content width for no reason . The purple blue bars down the size are pointless. Optimize for the content and readability.
Make the content 100% width, get rid of all these crazy ass colours. Simplify it as best you can. If your using a theme just pick the simplest these available.

Dark mode should change the blue to 75% grey. The contrast makes that blue a lot harsher on the eyes.

Still getting used to it, but thank you for all the hard work, I know it's a lot.

Someone earlier mentioned the drop down menu on mobile only lists the page you're currently on--that's still the case, but I did notice that if you click it again, all the options show up, so there's something a little buggy there still.

I am not sure still what this means, this is what I see on the drop down menu on mobile.  What are you missing from here?
[close]

The other dropdown menu at the bottom of the page to navigate between forum sections. Say you're in a thread in Whatever and want to go to Useless Wooden Toy Banter. The dropdown menu only shows Whatever.
Trying to figure this out, do you mean this menu?

This is the kind of feedback I can get behind.
Some of the changes requested were made already, but hadn't cleared the cache I will mark off what I think I have address but let me know if the solutions is not suitable.
1. Avatars below the username. -- I moved them to the right is this ok?
2. Move those icons w/e they are elsewhere (after the user name perhaps?) -- Working on this area
3. Move the quote button with the ignore etc. buttons -- This is hard because that require it to actually change the physical layout for mobile vs adjusting via CSS. 
4. Make rep & post count visible -- Done
5. Reduce the white space by having the thread title & time next to the avatar. I tend to forget which thread I’m in and liked that you could check above every post. -- Working on this area
6. Somehow make the sigs more clearly sigs. Now it can be confusing as fuck. -- Added a dotted border to seperate these, but I an inset them or other treatments if this is not good.
7. Make the colors between posts differ more. There needs to be more contrast for it to be clearer when it changes to a new post. -- Did this earlier just cleared the cache.
8. Those lines that the actual post is between are good. Maybe put a similar line (but not the same) between posts.
9. Make the reply box bigger. -- Done Full width now
10. Search box masks the drop down from the avatar. -- Done earlier but just now cleared the cache

Just copy paste the link and it will auto embed, just did it below from this link https and everything included.

Doesn't show up in preview but will in the post.

The mobile view is brutal, there so much wrong with it I'm not sure where to start. One major thing is why is the whole thing got the margin or padding reducing the content width for no reason . The purple blue bars down the size are pointless. Optimize for the content and readability.
Make the content 100% width, get rid of all these crazy ass colours. Simplify it as best you can. If your using a theme just pick the simplest these available.
I'm not sure how you even post I had to quote to publish this
[close]
I made the content full width, to post on mobile there is an icon like this at the bottom. Is this not clear enough (actual question not sarcasm)?

yea that's the only thing. unread posts since last visit on all of the categories would be sick. Besides that i like it

Can you enable embedding from tumblr?

Also, I see that I can't gnar or kook when on the site on my iPhone, or see rep/post count. Tried requesting the desktop site, but it didn't do anything.

gnar kook was included in the mobile changes which just got pushed through the cache, check now you should be able to.

Awesome. How about that Tumblr embed?

Absolutely loving the new theme and glad it's up to a relatively recent version of SMF. Thank you so much for your efforts on this.

My only request/plead is to install a certificate for HTTPS. i really do not feel comfortable logging into SLAP in a coffee shop, etc without it

I'm usually on an older iPad mini that handled the old board fine but does have issues on sites with a lot of windows and pop ups and scripts running.

I've been getting the "webpage repeated crashed" warning when there is an over abundance of YouTube windows or animated gifs.

i don't know if that's just me or anybody else, but
everytime when i click on say useless wooden toy
banter or any other slap-intern-link that redirects
me to another sub-site of slap, the top ad banner
always resizes - it goes from big to smaller - that
causes some annoying shifts and disarrangements
in my window. fo example if i go back from photos
and try to click on the button for useless wooden
toy banter before the topbanner resizes i will miss
the link for UTB since it changes position once the
topbanner went from bigger to smaller. i hope it is
somehow remotely clear what i actually mean haha

Just a note if you’re posting from mobile: It’s not visible on mobile.

Another suggestion for mobile: make the page number links more spaced out. Now they’re a bit too close together IMO for the site to be totally functional without ever zooming in. 🙂

All in all, great work. Improvements have been really nice!

Since the site bugged out a couple of weeks ago, whenever someone links Instagram it is a blank rectangle / dead link on my phone.

does the music section look weird on anyone else’s phone? the right-hand column showing “Last post by” is not appearing when I have my screen vertical but I can see part of it when my screen is horizontal.

Remeber when we had the replacement file for whoever anyone used the word situation?

Can we get that done anytime someone name drops a self-proclamated vlogger or equivalent company? Maybe with a cucumber emoji?

Does SMF have a plug-in for automatic image resizing? Viewing posts with pictures on mobile isn't an issue because the pics are auto resized, but viewing on a desktop is disgusting.

For those that aren't aware, adding the width parameter to an image tag will keep it from being huge.

Just a suggestion or request, could we get the "PC Meet and Greet" thread pinned in VIDYA GAMES, just like the threads for console are? Just so it doesn't keep vanishing.
