hardly many people have already posted saying the design lacks basic understanding of UI design.
the issues have been stated. proper design knows what things need to stick out more than others and what things are click the most and placing them in the right spots. this all goes back to concepts created by Frederick Winslow Taylor...granted reapplied to computers UI. Its all about redicing movement and making sure things are done quickly and efficiently. I should have to analyze thread to tell them apart. Tell a read vs an unread thread should require me to actual look at it. I should be able to figure it out at a glance.LOL. Good lord, melodrama much? You have been here a year, the board has had more than one transition, they have always been net positive. Hell this one loads so much faster I am already sold on it. The looks? Looks fine. Functions better.
I guess you should back up the "lacks basic understanding of UI design" with your UI design creds.
Oh the typical shortsightedness of the crowd when change happens.
HF ran on vastly unsupported, old code. The transition to Xenforo as new platform was the next natural step to take, stagnation is bad, kids. I know change is scary, but I promise you'll all get used to the new look, so for the love of everything that's decent, quit your bitching.
thasta computer issue.I am NOT a fan of ZenForo, but so far it seems like this transition has been handled better than on most other forums.
The biggest issue that I'm having right now is the lag. I get lag even just when typing text. I will type and for a few seconds nothing will show up and then BAM it's all there. I'm also getting lag when loading pages many times, usually where half the page will load, then about 3-5 seconds later the rest of the page will load.
thasta computer issue.
Your two dollas? man all you needed was 2 cents. no worries though i'll keep the change.I love hardforum.com , but don't like this new layout , looks kindergaten-ish or for the handicapped, missing that pro feeling , just my 2$
I think they were Zimbabwe dollars...i didnt think it had that much value .Your two dollas? man all you needed was 2 cents. no worries though i'll keep the change.
Then do it.Everything is too large, harder to read, and the guy above is spot on we took a pro look for enthusiasts and made it a soft look for casuals.
This UI makes me want to put my PC on eBay and buy a Xbox
Scaling in your browser should get you exactly what you want.Yes the enlarged font is a bit much. There should be a smaller font version we can select besides white and dark. Also all thread titles look the same read unread new not new there needs to be some middle ground there. Colors and everything are fine it's just damn large and even more annoying is the fact all threads look like they are new.
same here (didn't try it on mobile)I actually love the new forum look. Hope it stays. Great font and design. Good work.
Kyle,
Small suggestion, not sure if it's doable with this forum. It'd be nice to see the page counts/links for each thread all the time, instead of only when hovering over a thread.
For example, I'd like to know (without hovering) that the Quake thread you started in the PC Gaming & Hardware subforum is 7 pages long.
Mockup:
CSS:
Code:span.itemPageNav { visibility: visible !important; }
font is really nice but only at high DP. other wise there is so much AA that its blurry as well.
if you take a screen shot and go in paint and zoom in you can tell that there is tons of AA and that is why it so blurry but smooth. If you zoom in you can tell the font is super nice looking but only ridiculously huge. Its a nice font if i had 8K screen :/now that i think about it, i think you're right, i was trying to figure out why the text seemed so blurry to me.. i mean i know i'm slowly going blind anyways but yeah that makes sense, lol.
