Ugh, why the gigantic font in the rp forums? |

You can hover to see this.

No, there are already multiple secret forums. For example, klan forums and the mod forum.

I don’t see why. Clearly once I have missed three posts, I may have missed something that someone I care about posted. True, “1 unread” means I’m just gonna hover. Any other number is more useful to me than the last poster’s name.
EDIT: On further review, I see.
The minute since last post is very uninformative. Why do I care? markchd edited this message on 04/30/2009 12:02PM |

Then I don’t see the reason to give us users a link like that, link us directly to our klan forums. |

The secret forums have always been in the same sub-sections. And some users do have multiple forums there for various “projects” being worked on behind the scenes. |

Because it’s much easier to code? But it’s a fine suggestion, if you have only one secret forum, to have “secret forums” link you directly to it.

I’ve found it very interesting, actually. Give it some time and see if it grows on you. |

Yesss, but it gives the mayority of us a useless link that only list our klan forum. |

It doesn’t matter. I’ve been annoyed by the “unread” thing anyway since it is utterly pointless if one has alts. It’s not a biggie. I haven’t ever cared when the last post happened either, but if people find it more helpful it’s cool. |

Interesting comments so far! Definitely going to tweak a little bit based on them. Keep it coming! |

Having a hotlink to the klan forum at the top of the page is much nicer than having to scroll all the way down or click through the “Klans” page. |

Wait, alts don’t get the same unread count and subscriptions? Is that in line to be fixed, ever? |

Why on earth would I want to hover? It’s impractical and backwards, much like the whole design. Flamebate now looks like a 12 year-old made it; the cartoons on top look terrible, the split made it so that no more jokes can be made using the RP forums, making them lose most of their meaning, the font in RP is horrible and way oversized and Flamebate has lost its professional aspect. It’d be great if we could choose between the two interfaces, really, even though ET already told us that he won’t do it. |

The huge, ugly font in the RP forums clashes really badly with all the other fonts that are visible on the page. I get it that you want to distinguish between the two ares clearly, but it’s really hard to look at. I don’t think it’s supposed to make you not want to read anything there, but that’s what it does for me, anyway. Klan forums especially shouldn’t be painful to look at. |

It wouldn’t make sense to have the same subscriptions. One might post the majority from a main, but rp from a few alts. The alts would want different subscribed threads. However, regardless of which character I am, I am only one person and while my attention span is short I generally don’t forget that I just read something on one character and need to read it again after switching.

Umm… could you do the same for “return to editing” and “post it!”? Thx. |

I honestly like the split idea, but the cartoons are kind of lame. |

Could we add a ‘Reply’ bumon at the top of the page, maybe under the ‘Switch’ bumon (which is cool, by the way) for convenience sake?
I like the different color theme for both sides.
But is there a way to enable a ‘font choice’ for each forum?
Also, how about font colors while we’re at it? |
