Flamebate changes: Official Feedback Thread | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
In the new anonymous forum, could you try to better distinguish between posts?
Also, in the rp forums, the green of the outer border sort of clashes with the blue of the posts. Maybe if you could tone up/tone down some of these colours? |

Didn’t bother reading thread so there may be repeats.
To much space to the left, allows for the RP forum to be moved over a bit. Can’t you just replace our names to Anonymous, and the avatars to white in the anonymous forum? It would look better that way.
Overall, switch back, or give us the option to switch back to old style. kthx. |

This. Or at least the option to not have the dual screen. |

Are you insane?
This new “layout” looks horrible. |

Actually, why not have us all post as the Anonymous profile that we have in sTalk? It would make it look like a forum at least.
Or we could randomly post as any of the Enemies in any of the forums, differently every time of course, it would be a bit of a cluster**** but would help distinguish between where we are in the thread itself when everything looks much the same although it would kind of ruin the point of the anon. |

I like the new layout. Anon board is silly but still p cool. Good job overall, tho i do agree that it is a bit left-heavy. Maybe you guys could shift it to the right or stretch it out a bit? Fingerz edited this message on 04/30/2009 6:55PM |

Are you able to make the main ‘Flamebate’ page auto-refresh every few minutes? |

After I adblocked the ugly cartoon banners, I no longer have an easy way to switch between RP and non RP forums. A link on the page somewhere would be nice.
The red flashing 9000+ text, calling attention to spamming threads, is a bad idea.
Rickets page width script fixes the wasted whitespace issue for larger monitors.
Font may be a little too small, but I’m always changing the font size throughout the site for different reasons, so not a particular issue for me.
And just adding to the vote, I don’t care how old a thread is, provided they’re sorted in chronological order. I do care who the last poster was, and it’s what will decide whether I read the thread or not. meeeeeeeeee edited this message on 04/30/2009 10:48PM |

There are links at the bottom of the active topics to the appropriate boards. Or you can bookmark them. But don’t expect changes because you chose to use a 3rd party product to prevent using the site as designed. |

Implicit in my suggestion was the observation ‘Banners are ugly and take up too much space’ |

Excellent point. It should cut down on unintentional (such as yours) and *ahem* ‘unintentional’ *ahem* trolling (not pointing fingers) in Civil Discussion. Acid Flux edited this message on 04/30/2009 11:51PM |

The split is great. The image for “Civil Discussion” is not as clear as the “Role-Playing” one |

You don’t honestly believe this do you? This won’t prevent the people meaning to troll/accidentally posting in wrong forum. All you are doing is making the text bigger, if they couldn’t give a **** to read before, they won’t now. Bad changes, made in a burst of “lol I have a good idea” with no user feed back just like 80% of everything else on FWZ. CrinkzPipe edited this message on 05/01/2009 2:26AM |

I didn’t backread this thread, so my bad if other people said what I’m about to:
THE DISLIKES
-I really don’t like how the active topics don’t show who made the thread or posted in it last.
-I really don’t like how the anonymous forum shows up in the active topics
-I really don’t like the big bum white gap on the right of my screen now
-I think instead of dividing the forums like this you should instead come up with much clearer rules and put flamebate back to how it was. I don’t think the issues were so much “I didn’t know this was nonRP” as much as they were “I am not clear on a few specific rules”
-Flamebate no longer feels like Flamebate. Give me and option to revert to the old one please.
THE LIKES
-With the above said, the clear division of RP and nonRP is a decent idea that will help some (not me)
-the logos are cool
-I can appreciate that changes are being made to address problems (even if I don’t like the changes) |

Thanks for the script Ricket. Log in to see images!
Has it been suggested that there simply be a bumon made that allows users to select the old style? This change has completely eliminated the ability for those temporary “fooled you” threads like http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/13348 (which was considerably more entertaining before the OP changed his character name – he used to be BINGEBOT_2015) or http://www.forumwarz.com/discussions/view/8369.
Honestly, one would think that with 7 active mods a very simple update and consolidation of the Flamebate rules a lot of time could have been saved. |
