OzTitan Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 On your monitors, can you see the gray on the outside? This is my problem. Well, it's actually the body grays more so, which I can see, but just barely. Really need to adjust my screen I think. Really like it though, clean and simple.

TitansGuru Posted November 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 No to borders. Looks funky. I will darken the gray. Edit: Done. Dropped it a full four shades. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Signatures are such an afterthought to me. I hate them so I have them disabled. I don't think I even considered them until this post. I'll look at them and figure something out that works better. How do you disable them? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas Posted November 7, 2014 Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 Good job. Looks very nice and has more modern feel to it. One thing missing that I normally look at in the thread list is who created the thread. I might be the only one, but I sometimes choose whether or not to open a thread depending on who started it.

No problem. I will add it. My thought was that It might drive engagement and stop people from filtering out which threads are started by whom. It was a long shot and a couple of people have requested it so I can add it. Adds a small bit of clutter but it's still good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyrus Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Definitely getting used to it! If anything, on a large monitor things seem a bit overscaled. That would be my primary feedback right now. I don't mind the white and light gray background I suppose, but I think the risk is that everything feels too sterile. I need to live with it for a while though and see if that changes. Edit. Maybe some texture or gray scaled image? Seems like a darker color or texture/image would make the design tighter visually. Maybe it's just the large monitor but I feel like the white/gray isn't directing my eye towards the content. Also, maybe go all sans-serif for the contemporary feel? Poster name, title and posts all have serifs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 One thing I did not do on this that I did on previous ones is set a maximum width. I'm actually planning on doing this. I might go 50-100px larger than I previously did. Look for this tonight. Not sure about the other suggestions. I do have a good noise texture that I use on the front page. I'll play with it but no promises. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TitansGuru Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 You can still do that. Same places they've always been. Have to do it from the top two levels that show the forum names. That or at the bottom you can click "Mark community read". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyrus Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looks quite good on the iPad. Is there a way for a different background to apply when the display exceeds a set pixel width? Totally different feel on a small display vs. a pretty sizable monitor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TitansGuru Posted November 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Maximum width will fix the issue of too much space on larger displays. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tex in a Can Posted November 8, 2014 Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 Overall I like it except... Don't like the teletubby light purple shading. Tex Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
