I also dislike the display of 'member reputation' by default (or at all). IMO the less 'hierachies' the better (well, my background is unmoderated usenet and mailing lists and I almost hate forums, mostly due to moderators misbehaving and misusing their status -- fortunately that is not a problem here) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we agree, we can do something into this direction - remove all signs of it and declutter post view on the way. At minimum we only need: name and picture, the rest can go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zador.blood.stained Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 I think that number of posts should still be displayed - it's just a number not tied to a "reputation" or other subjective stuff. @Igor, @tkaiser - what do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tkaiser Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 10 minutes ago, zador.blood.stained said: I think that number of posts should still be displayed Agree. And I would like to still be able just to hit the 'Like' button to give some feedback to other posters without polluting threads with '+1' or similar stuff (I hate posting with less contents than my rather large signature). No need to count that to 'reputation' but just as an individual way to give positive feedback to others (and them being notified of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 17, 2017 Author Share Posted March 17, 2017 Added those topic prefixes (moderators usage only): important × quick review × tutorial × read first × research × testers wanted × preview Should work on all sub forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Also "Topic ratings" (stars between the title and the posts) are IMO useless and should be disabled if possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 All CSS experts. I am bit rusted and will lost lot's of time (already did) on this simple issue. How to: - make this visible only when mouse gets there (hover on) - or permanent this way: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vlad59 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 This should work (to change it permanently) : .ipsComment_controls { padding: 0; background-color: transparent ; border: 0; box-shadow: none; } I don't think it would be better to make it appear / disappear with hover (would make harder to use on touch devices, ....)

vlad59 Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I can confirm that this works with Stylish : .ipsComment_controls { padding: 0 !important; background-color: transparent !important; border: 0 !important; box-shadow: none !important; } Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zador.blood.stained Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 I'm strongly against having a "-1"/downvote button, at least one that affects overall user "score". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 OK, what about this way? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 IMO "arrow up" icon is counter-intuitive, it may suggest "scroll to the top" function that many forum engines or websites in general use. It should still look like a heart or "thumb up", and "see who gave the reputation" should appear only if post was "liked" (if this can be customized) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted March 21, 2017 Share Posted March 21, 2017 While we are discussing forum customization, "unapproved content" icon (green exclamation triangle) should be recolored to bright red or orange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted March 21, 2017 Author Share Posted March 21, 2017 Yes, it's little confusing. Than let's rather stick to Like button ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Can "status updates" or whatever it is on profile pages be disabled? For some reason people think it's a good idea to use those for technical support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martinayotte Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 I've seen new issue recently, which is a bit annoying : When a thread is moved, like this one recently "3926-torrents-app-not-woking" moved away from "13-allwinner-h2h3" folder, it prevent the browser cookies to be seen as "read" for the parent folder and stay highlighted as "unread" . Today, same thing occurs with "3971-vpn-server-questions" moved away from "7-allwinner-a10a20", the folder stays as "unread". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, same thing occurs with "3971-vpn-server-questions" moved away from "7-allwinner-a10a20", the folder stays as "unread". I don't think it's a "new" issue, but it may depend on whether "Leave a link to the new location" was selected. I just moved a thread with this unselected and I don't see a "Unread" sign.

martinayotte Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Strange ... I had the issue until I clicked on "mark site read" ... Hoping it won't occur again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zador.blood.stained Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Also it's not a cookies issue because read/unread status is synced if you log in from multiple browsers/systems, so it's stored in the DB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted April 11, 2017 Author Share Posted April 11, 2017 What about adding some quick rules / tips below the forum description? It can be enabled and customised for each forum if necessary. "Use search before starting new topic - add questions to existing topics - support on private messaging is ignored - humans are not error free, be polite" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
renaudrenaud Posted April 11, 2017 Share Posted April 11, 2017 Why not, but what I like on this forum, among other points, is the very clean and pure interface, without plenty of message that take 80% of the screen and let 20% for valuable information.

Igor Posted August 1, 2017 Author Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Another major update has been applied to forums. Some minor problems are expected - design is slightly corrupted and it will be fixed today. It's already done, only minor adjustments are needed. Until this (Theme Haze) is not sorted out, usage of default theme is recommended - button is at the bottom, left hand corner.
