New font and homepage design
-
A few days ago, the homepage design and the used font changed for our community forum. Do you like the design? I still have to get used to it…

@SuperFlo75 thanks for bringing this up.
Any suggestions are welcome.
The forum is now upgraded to latest version that’s why the change.

Headers are always present? It takes too much place, but apart this, it sometime see pictures thumbnails on top of the pages, strange.

I isazi moved this topic from The Lounge

I like the new style
Edit: the only complaint I have is that sometimes I don’t get in which category the post is, and that’s useful to know to moderate

Its good but I prefered old one. Yes, I know probably I’ll get used to it, some people dont like changes, but old one was sharp, solid, new one got softened font. Probably after few days, I will forget there was different one before.

Exactly. Sometimes it’s tough to read a thread properly on a smartphone because of this.

@SuperFlo75 Sorry to say that the new design has made me lose interest in trying to keep up with what is posted on the forum.
In the old design most of the view of the threads were filled with information. At a glance you saw the actual date (or at least a timeframe) of when a post originated, together with the posters username and eventual avatar (plus nr of views) together with the last commentator’s avatar and a short quote of the comment.
Now we only have a left justified thread title with avatar, number of comments and when the last was entered. The rest of the view a vast expanse of white emptiness in a web browser or a phone in landscape mode.
To me this lack of information removes incentive to ‘click’ a link because it constitutes too much work for an unknown amount of reward. Again, I’m sorry, we are lazy denizens of the digital age… The thread could have originated three years ago with one post and the second post added today just because the title matched the commenter’s issue. Or it could be a hot urgent issue surfaced recently. But now it’s up to me to ‘click’ and find out…
Edited: added “avatar” in new design and “(plus nr of views)” in the old.
