    New GFY: Problems or Suggestions - post 'em here

    On the surface, the new GFY is almost the same. But as you can now tell, there are a lot of subtle differences and additions.

    So, is anything fucked up or are there any suggestions to make it better. There are a few more things we're working on, but the best ideas come from everyone (I just steal the credit).

            When a thread is locked I think there's something wrong with the reply button :
            http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/showth...threadid=46863

            It's not showing.

            Otherwise, nice new board
            especially ->

            ...Oh, I'd love to see that rating thingy where U can rate other members. :D

                  On the topics page:

                  Before only the topic was underlined, now the topic is underlined, along with the "topic starter" name, and "replies" number.

                  clean it up and dont have so much stuff underlined. I realize the underline means its "clickable" but to see soo much stuff underlined makes it look less neat, and a bit sloppy.

                  Make the shit still clickable, but dont have it underlined. Only the topic should be underlined. This would clean it up and make the board less of an eye sore, and clean like it was before.

                  Also there are two colors going on in the text. A link color, and a already been visited color. It looked better when it was just one white color, not the white and blue.


                  Also the signatures. It seems they are more of an eye sore than before also. It may be becasue as of late people are making bigger banners, but we had that shit going on before and it was controlable. The signatures are out of control, and making threads look just plain sloppy. By default the "add signaure box" is checked now. So everyone, every time (by default) a signature is added to thier every post, every reply. Before if someone wanted a signature added to their post they would have to go out of thier way to check the box to do so, which reduced that annoying signature to be posted on every one of his or hers post.

                  The functions of the board are great. The speed is bad ass, and the bonus functions are awsome! We just need to make some minor adjustments to "clean" it up a bit. Too much visual stimulation, and what was once very nice and neat, has become multiple colored underline text overload, and saturation of signatures.

                  And Thats the bottom line casue boneprone said so.

                          yeah i mentioned that earlier. The post table seems to be smaller, yet the screen it slef seems larger.

                          I have a right left tool bar at the bottom of my screen now (unlike before)

                          GFY is in a box now.

                          Its too wide, yet the box table of topics seems smaller.

                          Maybe the sponsors table is too wide, and the topics table is too small?

                            I thought that too, but the old GFY had a right-left scrollbar at 800x600 when I checked.

                              Same as the old GFY, but we're still weaking that.

                                      also after "fucking poll" have a line break.

                                      Fucking Poll:
                                      blah balh blah blah

                                      not :

                                      Fucking Poll: Blah Blah
                                      Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah

                                      It would look cleaner.


                                      Fuck im like a little bitch when it comes to neatness. Sorry.
                                      I feel like im a fuckin Health Care Administrator again..

                                      Sorry.

                                        I thought the same thing (you stole the idea from me). But either it's all underlined or none. And I'm thinking of making it none.

                                            Oh ya and a vote on a poll should count as a post.

                                            Or else polls go to the bottom like rocks in water...

                                                I think they will die down, and if no-one posts to them, they won't stay near the top.

                                                They can be good, if it's not a bunch of stupid shit.

                                                  Or else polls go to the bottom like rocks in water...
                                                  That's the point.

                                                    The word "fucking poll" is so long it takes up 85% of the first line anyhow. You are only goign to be able to fit in one short word next to it anyhow.

                                                    That "fucking poll" topic is going to be 2-3 lines regardless.

                                                          That was supposed to be fixed yesterday, but we didn't get it done. Buck Naked's working on that.
