So one issue I'm having is with the avatars being above the name, and the name of the poster being so small. I've disabled avatars to try and deal with the issue, so I have a better sense of who is posting, but I sort of like the avys I think they're just too bloody big in proportion, and end up contributing to the huge lack of empty space on the page. Names above smaller avys would be ideal

Personally I'd like a 'NSG Avatar' , so one could upload a avatar - but it would only appear when posting in General. The nation's flag would appear in all other subforums (which are more game related).
[Violet]'s stated before that she likes the nation's flag though, it gives it a bit of an official air.

Great work on the suggestion compilation thread, Unibot, that's an impressive amount of work you did! And I did find others suggesting that the save/submit button issue sucketh. Etc.

It's not so much about shrinking avys I suppose, as the dimensions being weird. I also don't want my flag representing me, it's there for my imaginary nation, and I'm not speaking for it in General.Somewhereistonia wrote:I agree that the save button is annoying, its on the wrong side of the preview button for one thing.
I don't think that avatars are a problem, you could start recognising people by their avatar's; that is what they are for. If you shrink the avatars any further, further detail is lost which is not a great feeling when you have spent ages working on your flag.
Doubtful in the extreme. If you have already spent the time typing up the post, you're not going to suddenly go 'oh hey someone said something new, well, delete!'. Especially since if you are writing a particularly long or thoughtful post, the chance of you being interrupted in posting it by 'oh hey some random people posted since' is extremely high. The faster you post, the smaller your posts, the less chance of you having that issue...so no, it's not going to help with spam. As well, the posts in question very likely are not going to be exactly what you were going to say anyway, nor are they likely to definitively answer whatever question you may have, so why not just let us skip to the posting, without the silly review function?Somewhereistonia wrote:A chance to review your posts is bad how exactly? It might reduce the level of pointless spammy posts.
For me it's a straight up contrast issue. On UMP, we have black background with a sort of soft yellow text...shows up fine, contrast is good. Jolt was great with the black text on white. The green blends too much, at least for me, de-emphasising that which should be emphasised.Somewhereistonia wrote:I wouldn't mind the green changing, but I don't think its a problem. Maybe there could be an option to have it show as a different colour (going back to the skin idea that has been floating around).

Like you did with the quick reply comment? Ha, I don't mind that. And I don't review. The thing is, here I am, putting time and effort into responding to a point some poster has made. I hit "submit". Then I see it's not letting me post it right away because new posts have been made. Well the thing is...quite often I'm on page 4 of a 9 page thread, and I simply haven't gotten to the point where reviewing those new posts is going to help. I'll get to those posts when I get to them, and if they happen to echo my sentiments, great. It wasn't as though it was a huge problem on the other forum with people repeating one another's arguments. There are always personal nuances, and different wordings that can help. For me, the pause to 'review' is annoying enough to make me grind my teeth, and even worse if I forget it might do that, and I hit submit and then go do something, only to come back and see I still haven't posted my freaking thesis...*gnash gnash!*Unibot wrote:I would say if we had a Quick Reply Box - skipping the review thingy-a-doodle when using it would make sense. Other than that, I find the review quite handy (it gives me time to outwit the dude that just beat me to the punch ).

I see what you mean. With NSG that could be really annoying.
Possibly review could be a setting that could be turned off in the UCP?

And I really appreciate the "Save" button--as I'm not the sole owner of the computers I use, my posting times can be interrupted. RIP, zwangzug.txt Notepad file, I don't think I'll need you much longer! So thanks to the admins/mods for that.
