UBB.Developers Forums General Discussion Suggestions and Feedback just not liking it :(

I am not liking the new post indicator gifs

IMO they seem a bit gawdy.

I kinda like 'em, but think they should be a little smaller.

Or make the blue gem-like part of it a color other than blue...maybe red. Would stand out more because everything else is blue on the main listing page.

Tsk, tsk...they're not transparent either.

They are waaaaaaaaaaaay too big. They look childish. imo

Just a thought

yes.. they are big but a rounded one can be good

I don't like 'em either, it's too hard to tell them apart

yeah, they suck.
I dont think they work either, they're always on for me, even on forums with no posts for days.

Cal, refresh my memory, but have I EVER created anything you liked??

I'm sorry Allen. Maybe you'd prefer me to say how great they are and how they really enhance the front page.

I would call saying they are too big constructive. See? I've stated what i think is wrong with them. Sorry for having an opinion which doesn't fit.

come on now cal... you know that's not it... you didn't just say you didn't like them, you said they were childish.. not quite a constructive criticism...

like I said, check thradar's and jeologic's posts...

everyone has different tastes... some will like it, some won't... most don't care...

well i got to say i like it.
i think it is cool.
i do not see where it is all that big.

To me it just doesn't go with the site. It looks like it belongs at an RPG site for a game like "Dungeons and Dragons". I would expect something a bit more proffessional from a quality site like this.

Well, I agree, they don't quite go with the site ... too tacky? Hehehe...

Anyway, some constructive criticism:

1.) As someone said, try reducing the size, and change the color of the gem in the middle to something apart from the main site layout (layout is blue, so the gem shouldn't be blue) so that it'll stand out a little.

2.) Maybe change the image itself? Usually rounded images are easier on the eyes than ones with angles and hard sides.

3.) Just use folder icons maybe? I knew you guys used that before on past layouts of UBBDEV and I kinda liked them

Anywayz, that's it from me

We are in the process of finding new images. Frankly, I would have been ok with InfoPop's new lightbulb images, but they didn't make them that "user friendly."

I'll take any suggestions or contributions that any of you may have.

**wavin' my arms** Me, Me.. I have a suggestion! How about pretty little angels or dainty little flowers?

IMHO, I think a different color might be an enhance the appearance of the board a tad.

Deb -

I don't even know how to respond to that!

- DB

Whoa!! Go back to the diamond thingies for showing new posts. Those big blue orbs are scary! Seriously, try a different color for the gem thing in the diamonds, like deep red or something. Even a green would look good.
