Redesign of BYOAC

<< < (3/6) > >>

Nailz:
You're running a great site, but the one thing i'd like to see, and I don't know if this has to do with a site update or not, but an improve search engine would be great.  At best, searching on this site now seems like a hit or miss.

Dartful Dodger:
It's almost May, get rid of the snowy hills background.

Everything else about this site is great.  Keep up the good work.

bigmoe:
One thing that could really be cool is to be able to mark threads as "watched".  Then, have a user-portal type page where links to watched threads will show up.  Then make it easy to "watch" and "unwatch" threads.

I would find this extremely useful...the current email approach, while better than nothing, I do not find particularly useful.

Maybe yabbse already has this I didn't know it ;).

Thanks!

Howard_Casto:
hmm didn't I post to this thread?

Oh well.. I'm too lazy to repost all of my comments in full....

To summarize:

Color code the sections using style sheets and the button colors to the left.  It would make a clean, professional look if done properly.   Remove the annoying background images.   While they give the page "heart" they also make it look a little amateurish and might scare away any credibility the site would have to a first time visitor.  It's literally the only complaint I've ever had about the site.

Getting the environment you are talking about with actual bg images seems impossible to me as arcades are inheriantly tacky by design.  They are like Tide boxes... loud and annoying so you'll see them from a mile away.   8)

Code for 1024x768, it's what everyone else codes for anymore (although I agree that with minimal effort the page code be coded to scale itself). Regardless, find me a person who doesn't have at least one computer running at 1024x768 or the ability to do so.  With all due respect if you have web browsing in an arcade cabinet then you have other issues I don't want to get into.  ;)

The message board is fine... it works great.... everyone please stop complaining about it.

bishmasterb:
The site is great. My few requests are:

1) I was going to second Howard's request to remove the background images, but they seem to be gone already...?

2) The site has to work on 800x600. There are far too many corporate systems, smaller form factor, tablets, etc. I agree it should be auto-scaling and take advantage of larger displays. I know our home systems are all set to 4096x4096, but that's not the case everywhere else.

3) It would be really nice if the Subject/Message filters on the search page worked, or am I missing something? I search for "PacMan" subject only and get plenty of messages that don't contain the word "PacMan" in the subject line. Let me know if that's not what it's supposed to do. If they do work differently than I'm expecting them to, perhaps re-wording the page.

The fact that you're only getting nit-picky responses is testament to the site's overal great functionality. Keep up the good work!
