Re: [slim] make suggestions about the new forum appearance
I'm missing a feature on the mobile skin. I usually access the forum
via the New Posts page, and whereas the full site shows clearly which
threads have been updated ("The threads below have not been updated
since your last visit but still contain unread posts."), there doesn't
seem to be a similar feature on the mobile skin. Any chance we could
have some kind of indicator?

In web design CSS text-shadow is used not only for shadow effect but also for shiny emboss effects etc. In this case there is a lot of text with white CSS text-shadow on a white background, but that is still rendered. This effect is only visible on quoted text that has yellow background and text looks embossed ... And CSS hower effect in this case adds slight gradient background to some elements when they are hovered with pointer and causing to re-render element/page. I think that removing these two things would allow mobile site to render faster on mobile devices. On my HTC Desire this forum is definitely slow to render not like other forums.

Re: [slim] make suggestions about the new forum appearance
Using Opera (my favourite web browser), the icons on the left are bouncing around with nearly every click I make: 13311 This does not only look strange but it makes it difficult to navigate, too, as the lines are also jumping a little bit up or down when I click on a forum title - which often leads to the necessity to click a forum title a second time, because the first click made it jump out of the "hot spot" of the mouse pointer. Generally I think the icons are a little bit too big respectively too eye-catching. +---+ |Filename: Squeezebox Forum 2 b.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=13311| +---+ carp's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3584 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94513 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Tooltips for icons are one thing, and are usually enabled by default. The tooltips I find annoying are when I have the mouse cursor over a topic (or over the cell for a topic), and it gives me the first few lines of the first post in that topic, blocking other information I may want to see. And those tooltips are not enabled by default (in fact, I believe there's an actual plugin that makes those tooltips appear). I admin a forum site using vBulletin, and that site doesn't have the first post tooltips, so I know it's possible to turn them off without affecting icon tooltips. virgiliomi's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=33715 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94513 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] make suggestions about the new forum appearance
I find the tooltips useful. This forum (not only since the new skin was introduced) is full of icons I rarely use and have some obscure meaning, the tooltips are needed.

Re: [slim] make suggestions about the new forum appearance
I have no issues with the new look and feel, apart from a couple that were also issues with the previous version. Since this thread is about making suggestions, I'll raise them anyway. 1) The icon that takes you to the first new post is too small. It was small with the old version, but it's even smaller with this version. I browse the forum a lot from my iPhone, and with the previous version I had to 'pinch to zoom' a couple of times so that the icon was big enough to tap accurately. I now use the new mobile skin on my iPhone (much better suited to a small screen, and a really welcome addition), so the problem is solved on that platform, but on my laptop I would still appreciate a bigger icon. Is there any reason it can't be as big as the main 'envelope' icon? 2) I find that the yellow popups (tooltips?) are frustrating and obstructive. I never read them, and it's difficult to know where to put the mouse pointer so as not to trigger a popup that blocks some important part of the screen. Is there a way to disable them on a per user basis? Do others find them useful, or is there possibly a consensus that they could be permanently disabled on this forum? chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=94513 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Re: [slim] make suggestions about the new forum appearance
For what I was using the forums - hitting 'new posts' 10 times a day - reading it via Tapatalk the rest of the day - writing some answers now and then the new forum works reasonably well and I like the fresh look! Thanks a lot for the smooth transition and especially for convincing your corporate IT to still provide an 'alien' forum.

I am saying the lead columns (after the featureless icon jumble) is extremely wide and I'm still 1280x1024. (Times two monitors.)

It's just the default skin, flexing to use 100% of the window width. If you view it in a 1920 pixel wide window you're going to see a lot of white space. It does look like minimal effort went into fitting it into the page framework, with the Squeezebox header and footer, but the same was true of the previous forum skin. For example, why, if you want to have a black page background, do you only have two or three pixels of it exposed on the right and left sides?

^^^ This icon that appears for every post is useless. Below the text area used for editing posts is an array of 'Post Icons'. I select 'No icon', but it still displays the blue 'paper' icon.
