Feature suggestions and discussion [READ THE FIRST POST]

Is it me or the spacing between text lines got smaller?

How do I get the star to display?? I am currently using XP system pack 3. Either that, or please revert back to the previous setup. Besides, I like the Neigh button being on there.

Initial thoughts:
- the thumbnail icons are too small now, I need to aim very carefully that I hit the vote/fave button and not the image itself.
- font when tagging is ugly
- transparent background for the auto tagging feature makes them unreadable (blue letters on white backdrop)
- giant red text on the top of the upload page could be a tad shorter — it's good that it is easy to see, but all the giant red boxes are very discouraging, like you did a bad thing clicking Upload.

@Grieffon
Yes. A lot of things changed. Barbeque basically redid all the CSS for the site; what we had up to now was a bunch of hacks slapped onto eachother as the site grew.

Suggestion: you could add the downvote function (or something else) on the right and the "…comments" text on the right, there seems to be room for it.

@The Smiling Pony
So… is it permanent? Not too much of a bother but personally I prefer a bit more space between the text lines.

@Vree
>I need to aim very carefully
How is this a problem?

>you could add the downvote function
If they wanted to keep it, I think it'd still be there.

@dt
Well, the removal of the downvote function made it harder for me to tell which images I've already downvoted.

stuffs a bit… cramped.

can u try and resize the boxes and/or text a bit?

Making the site more annoying to use is not a problem? :)

What do you think your are gaining by removing the neigh/downvote button from the thumbnails!? Good Lord, its as if you are being like facebook and youtube; removing most, if not all overt choices of negativity. Just stupid. Way to become like a damn daycare center.

Are these 'bugs' bugs or just modernized design choices? If the latter I can deal with it.

@Background Pony
Or the site is still buggy right now and the button is missing.

Calm down.

…Or, it's to prevent people from mass-downvoting or mindlessly downvoting things.

They didn't disable downvoting, they're just preventing you from doing it without even viewing the full image.

@Background Pony
Simple, actually click on the pic and downvote it. You can spare a bit of effort can you?

@Vree

That annoys you enough that you have to make a post about it?

"Oh no I accidentally clicked on the pic instead of faving it. I have to aim more closely now, this is so annoying." Really?

Okay.


I run Window 7 and Chrome, and everything is fine. So far.

If any of the three icons (fave, upvote, comment) should be purple, it should be the Fave count. Right now, it's more difficult for me to follow which images got new responses like I usually because the purple color makes the number fade a bit into the background; on the other hand, having two positive scores makes it confusing to decide which one you should be looking at quick comparison between all frontpage images now can't be accomplished in just one quick look.

IF the Fave count became purple and the comment count black, then I think this would ioverall improve.

@dt
Yeah, Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and Chrome here, everything looks fine.

It looks like people using XP are having issues.

@Grieffon
No, things are still being worked on.


@Background Pony
The button didn't fit if we added favecounts, and we wanted favecounts visible. If you think an image is bad enough to downvote it, just go to the image and downvote it.

@dt
Why are you commenting just to be able to quarrel with somebody? I merely mentioned it as a problem to me for the mods, not you, I did not say it so that you can try to get into a petty fight with me.

@The Smiling Pony


I think there's still space for that button, though it may look a bit crammed up. (Disclaimer: I almost never use the downvote.)

@Grieffon
Yes, on new or unpopular images. With 1000+ comments, faves and score, shit breaks. We do not want shit to break.

@The Smiling Pony
Oh…



Gotcha.

@The Smiling Pony
Are there images with "1000+ comments, faves and score"? I've never seen images like that before.

@Grieffon
Ninja'd. But what about faves and scores?

Why fave count though? It doesn't seem useful. Was it requested by some people?

@Red Yellow Moon
We have the monstrosity I posted above (>>199020). And the highest score on an image right not is above 1400 (>>232093).
