Yup.
If VGC wants to keep the effect, do it in CSS.
That way we can reduce our HTTP requests and gain the ability to view avatars.

To the person who asked why browsers take up more RAM than some games: this.
Chrome and Firefox (as well as other browsers) need to cache all these little images so we don't spend all day re-downloading them.

I think it should be easy with a linear-gradient of sorts in the CSS? I'm not exactly a CSS expert, but I remember doing some effects with the linear and radial gradient effects. I just prefer Java programming tbh.

Heh, I'll do it in Codepen just to have fun and remember those HTML/CSS/js days.

Cool, tell me how it goes.

Nice to see it gone

Really annoying when you are trying to copy avatar urls and copy that translucent triangle instead :p

I honestly never noticed it till now, either... ...it's gone.

 

Well - it's gone from the threads, but there are several other places this needs to happen :(

seems theres an issue, some code remains, specifically, a "->"

Huh, yeah...get rid of that shit. We're in the age of minimalism in tech UI!

Picky, picky...   :P

 

Thanks!! I won't get around to fixing the thousand and one other places, any time soon though - besides, we're slowly moving over to the new design anyway, and I would hate to have to do all of this TWICE!!! :(

Not picky, precise!

Thanks Talon.
I look forward to giving feedback on the new design.

Now that you mention http request, I just realized that the website is still 100% http, including logins. Which means we're sending our passwords in plain text through the internet. That would be a pretty good and high priority feature to remove.



If you demand respect or gratitude for your volunteer work, you're doing volunteering wrong.

I like it.

This is already on our list, and I believe Jlauro has been investigating. Obviously, we don't have credit cards and sensitive financial information lying around here, but still you never like to not offer https, if only just to protect passwords...

 

It would be cool, if we had the ability to jump to the top or bottom of a megathread quickly.

I want a way to jump to the most recent page, and back to the first page.
This will ensure that these large threads are more beginner friendly.

Another thing to add would be to have the first post plastered on the top of each page, so people can better stay on topic (less important).
