i like the Y [icq] [msn] thingys on the post, but that just might be me... much easier if you need that info. turn down the saturation in the icons if the colour is overpowering ? :shrug:

oh, and if you're not going to customise the FAQ, i'd definately can it. all it contains is vague instructions on how to post on a bb, and i'm sure anyone who has managed to find this place can figure that much out for themselves. (same with usergroups)

Turb,

all of the stylistic work you have done looks great. but i'm wondering if you can redo the template to only use CSS for layout rather than tables.

kthx,

sirstrongbad.

:p

The new post icons ..


On the old q3w, you could select an emoticon to be the post icon. I miss that :tear:


This I really miss. :icon14:


me and raw have discussed this, it will be added.... at some point.


a while back when i was toying with phpBB, i decided to try and do the message icon hack (pre-rolled, by the way). it was a nightmare. now that i know what i'm doing in PHP/SQL, it wouldn't be nearly as difficult. it does, however, require quite a bit of work.

Quite agreed. The chat info is a little too much on each post.

i also remember a little refresh button being in the top right


That was on the Nav bar

God I miss that thing. It made Q3W the easiest board to navigate i'd ever seen



If there is one feature I'd love to see again, its that one.

You should put the msn/icq/aim/Y! icons and also the pm/profile mail icons under the post count. Also leave out the words and just use alt=profile so when they hover over it they'll know what it is.

And put the quote, edit & delete button to the far right.
And the IM icons,etc should be aligned to the bottom as ap[posed to directly under the post count.

BTW, when I made the yahoo icon I didn't make it transparent so it looks kinda bad because we got different shades now.

I agree. I loved the navbar, being able to jump directly to any forum without a bit of scrolling or extra clicking. The people who didn't use it were missing out -- I didn't use it or know about it for the first 3 years or so I posted here. When I finally started using it, it was like a whole new forum.
