Hope that clears this all up!! :)

 

Btw - you can always hover over these images, to find out what they mean...

I think the no new posts (and you have posted) is still green, so I think you should maybe edit your post to avoid confusion! But thanks again Talon for the work, it's always exciting getting new fixes!!

Can this one be orange,

  = No new posts (and you have never posted in this thread)

and this one be green?

It's just hard to easily tell them apart when they are both grey.

But can we have the grey option "" for when you have never opened the the thread before. 

If you can do that, still of course wait for other people opinion's first, but it's just easier for me personally to distinguish between them that way.

Yeah, I dunno - because then the 'orange' would be too eye-catching for posts you've never posted in (and would cause just as much confusion), as would the green. They are intentionally black to distingish them as threads you may or may not have read, but have definitely never posted in...

I say - give it a day or two, and see if you adjust. Change is never easy. :(

That's ok, I was just used to the orange still appearing for when there are new posts in a thread even though you haven't posted in it. But I'm sure I can get used to what it's like right now with a little a time.

Ha! Ha!! Well, I can tell you that the 'orange' when there were new posts in a thread that you hadn't posted in was a bug, not a feature...   ;)

...anyway - yeah, definitely give it a little bit. At this point, the logic is sound so futzing around with and changing the icons takes no time at all. If anyone comes up with cleaner or better designs that the community would prefer, I don't care about swapping them out. Of course, I don't want to spend the next two to three weeks playing around with forum icons when there's so much other stuff I could be working on, but again at this point the hard part is over.

Haha, I just always knew it like that. Now that I think about it, it's fine the way it is now. I guess it was just the initial shock of the sudden change.

It makes more sense the way it is now, now that I think about. (Also I could just comment "tag" on anything I want to have coloured notifications on). Anyways thanks for all your hard work.

It would be nice if the gamerconnect Hot Topics and Latest Topics threads had a sub-title with it's discussion location, similar to how it is done in the frontpage Forum - Hot Topics. If that would be the case, I would use both these topics more often, since at it currently stands it is hard to know where each thread comes from. I think that's one of the reasons people prefer the frontpage Hot Topics.

That's not a bad idea - would need to think a bit on how best to display the forum category on those pages, but I do understand what you're getting at and why it would be nice to have.

I'm on other things at the moment, but could revisit this as time allows. :)

Thanks for listening

It's just a usability and slight visual upgrade, doesn't need to be worked on right away, but something to keep in mind.

One part I find annoying is the headers are not consistent between vgchartz.com and gamrconnect.vgchartz.com . It's not just that the top level choices are different, but more importantly the sub choices are for the ones that match. If a redesign is coming, it can probably wait for that, but hope it's more consistent across pages...

Anyways, great work so far!



The aliasing on the current envelope icons is bothering me, so I re-did them.

What do you guys think?

They are a lot clearer at a quick glance compared to the ones we have currently I have to actually have a proper look to see the difference between them.
