Look and Feel suggestions and issues
« on: January 28, 2014, 07:55:19 PM »
Hey guys.

Here is my first thought.

As much as I like all the stuff at the top of each page, I would like to suggest that we figure out a way to get the desired details of every page above the fold (i.e., not having to page down to see it.)

I've only been here an hour and am already tired to having to page down 1 1/2 pages to get to content. I read an article through LinkedIn that confirmed this is a major issue on many websites that drives people away.

I realize that the "Beta Testing" banner is temporary, but we have a tradition of using that space for some message or another, so it will probably be there (albeit shorter) most of the time.

The NLG logo and member details (second line) might be put on the sides of every page or made shorter.

The navigation menu could benefit from smaller, more compact styling (again, shorter, not necessarily smaller), and possibly put off to the side as well.
I found myself at NLG :garfield:  ..but got lost again on the way home. :scratch-head_2:
If found, please email me to myself. Thanks. :mail_2:

I'm also thinking that the NLG Facebook button in the navigation menu should open Facebook in a new tab so that the member doesn't leave NLG.

After replying to a post it takes you out of the topic rather than returning to where you were.

Yeah, I was going to suggest that Joey set the new member default to return to topic, but either way, it's a profile setting. I've already changed mine.

It's under Profile/"Modify Profile"/"Look and Layout"

"Quick-Reply"

Out of curiosity, did the quick reply stay in topic with the above referenced setting disabled?

I see that the path indicating the member's current board/sub-board/thread is located above the Beta testing and Navigation Menu banners and is in small print.

I suggest moving it to be just above the first post/reply section (just below the Nav menu) if possible, and either way, to increase the font size to make it easier to spot.

I use it all the time on the current site to back out one step to the main board without going all the way out to the forum index.

Ray, what browser are you using? The fix would be browser specific. It's okay in FF so I'll guess that you're using IE, but let Joey know.

After replying to a post it takes you out of the topic rather than returning to where you were.

Return to topics after posting by default. is fixed... it was a default setting

SEE ATTACHMENT..... I guess my eyes have gotten worse over time, but the color pallet for the menus is pretty hard to see unless moused over.
 
Just imagine what it will be like for older than dirt blind members!!!
 
ADD...It looks easier to read in the attachment after I looked at it as attached on NLG, but that is because it is blown up alot. Just trying to see it native is really hard.
