Retired Game Master GM Fiddleback Posted July 24, 2019 Retired Game Master Share Posted July 24, 2019 Keep in mind, you may not yet be seeing all there is to see. There are still bits that can be added that may take up some of the white space. "No, really. He's a GM. Don't ask me." --The Entire Server, probably.

EggKookoo Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I kind of like lots of white space. Back in my day, we scrolled and we liked it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackbird71 Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I don't know what "bits" are coming, but I'm more interested in efficient reading of content. Having massive empty space on each post, and only being able to see 2-3 short posts at a time is really going to slow my reading. Also, need a way to turn off the "ding" when someone makes a new reply; that's going to get annoying fast! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redlynne Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Is anyone ever going to post some patch notes for what happened today? Aside from the forums update, of course.

Retired Game Master GM Capocollo Posted July 24, 2019 Retired Game Master Share Posted July 24, 2019 The update today was for backend updates and the integration with the new forum software. No content updates or balance changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sable Phoenix Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 I really hate this new forum design. It may be more functional, modern, less resource intensive, etc., but it's ugly as sin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's one thing that Invision Community Suite can not be accused of, it's being less resource intensive. :D It's actually one of the heaviest of the modern PHP forums.

Lunchmoney Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Like/heart now appeared. Time to go back through everything I've ever read here and given inf to and give it a like 🙂 Would appear I can only like a certain number of posts a day. Odd choice.

Alty Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) @CipherOn the white space thing (Edit: in regards to paragraphs in posts) There's a setting for return key behavior, changing it to 'go to the next line' instead of 'start a new paragraph' , will eliminate the white space.

I don't think that's as much of a problem as is the default size of the text compared to the width of the text window and of the avatar space on the left; posts of just a single line still take up much more space on the page than they should. I've had to change my browser zoom level just to make this forum slightly more readable, but it's annoying to have to use different zooms for different web pages.

I've had to change my browser zoom level just to make this forum slightly more readable, but it's annoying to have to use different zooms for different web pages. You've mentioned two issues... 1 - The default font and size can be changed either in the forum software or by the user and their browser settings. 2 - The width of the posts can be adjusted but that would require a skin edits across a few components. Since it appears that the team bought a custom skin that may be something they could look into in the future, but overall it may be one of those folks have to get adjusted to.

No, it won't, because that's not the white space I'm talking about. The white space I'm talking about is caused by the sidebar for each post being so huge that even on a one line post it takes up... well, this much space: Two one-line posts, and it takes up my entire screen. THAT'S the sort of white space I mean. The icons need to be made smaller, and the side pane more compact in general.
