View Full Version : New Style Survery


Bond

I've begun some work on a few new style(s), but before I go any further I'd like to hear what everyone would like:

- Would you like a new style or is having just this one fine?

- If you would like a new style, what would you like it to look like?

- Would you like the Wine Red style to make a triumphant return?

Aladuf
05-28-2008, 01:29 PM
I say go all out, make it count. Go for a new style.

I have no idea what the new style should look like.. maybe just an updated "fancier" version of what we have now?

I'm too new to know about the "Wine Red style" :(

Bube

The little icon which helps you find your posts - it should be on every post. :p

And even if we have wine red, I should still be able to choose something else - wine red hurts my eyes.

jeepnut

I like the current style, but a change could be nice.

Let's further emphasize the Tavern theme with the new style.

I enjoyed wine red way back when, but I think I would prefer it to stay a happy memory.

Go with a light background and darker text. Its been proven in marketing studies to be more readable and appraochable. It might help us grow the forum.

Themes that attempt to emulate textures look busy. Strong, matte, minimalist colors are best.

Bond

The "Beta Style" is now available for selection from the bottom left of your window. Please play around with it for a bit and tell me what you like and dislike. Also, the top image is simply a place holder.

Aladuf
05-28-2008, 05:50 PM
Dude, Bond. This beta version is fucking slick! I like it a lot.

A couple things though, me and Jim were talking about it... is there a way you can get rid of the stars under the name (they seem to not serve much of a purpose) and maybe lose the post count thing (I don't care for it but if others like it then that's fine).

Merely suggestions, if people disagree then say so, I was just thinking out loud.

Otherwise though, like I said.. very VERY nice.

Bond
05-28-2008, 06:05 PM
You get a star for every 1,000 posts. That might be a little outdated though.

I'm going to have to edit the postbit on this style to include what you're currently playing and if you're online or not.

Renwood
05-28-2008, 06:07 PM
The text on the quick-reply box for "Beta" ("Decrease Size, Increase Size, Swith Editor Mode) could use some reducing. It expands the box quite a lot.

In terms of layout and readability, I think it is a marked improvement. Did the theme not include a package of custom images? I notice that the quote, post reply, and new message icons are all from the default vBulletin theme. If it didn't come with custom buttons, some more tailored to the theme coloring/style would make the theme pop nicely. I used to customize skins for forums, but I haven't in a long time. If no one else is jumping up to it, I could try again though. Cannot promise anything mindblowing, but they'll be at least a serviceable effort.

Of course, if there is a similar theme that includes a ready-made suite of custom buttons, it'd probably just be better to go with that. :P

User levels are take them or leave them. I made these for my old forum:

As long as they're simple, fit the theme(s), and aren't the same graphics as everyone else, they can be good.

Bond
05-28-2008, 06:10 PM
I edited the style from the default vB style, so that's why it's all the default vB buttons.

I'm definitely going to look into a more fitting button set, or if you could find or make one that would be awesome.

Renwood
05-28-2008, 06:14 PM
I used to know some good sites for free pre-made vBulletin themes that could look quite nice. I'll see if I can find them again.

Make the background a darker shade of white (I know sounds weird)

It's not and you don't. It's for a different kind of experience. It's like cramming an entire frozen turkey up your ass (in a good way). As opposed to here, where you have a nice, thinly sliced turkey half-sandwich

Don't try over-do it by adding all these new doodads and whatnots just because the look is new.

You don't/shouldn't change the layout, in order to change the colour scheme.

I personally like it how it is. I'm fond of the black and green.
A lighter forum board to me looks unfinished, and uncared for. Since gray/light blue is the standard forum board colour.

Maybe some shades of black, with a tinge of brighter green opposed to the forest green there is now.

Bond
05-28-2008, 08:36 PM
The new style is radically different than this one. Of course both would be selectable, but I do wonder if it's a problem to have two such different styles.

- Fix multi-quote
- Fix quick reply
- Fix post bit
- Darken background color

flamb
05-28-2008, 09:18 PM

It's not really tight-knit at all. It's in no way anything like this (and that maybe why I come here more now). I've been there for about a year, Jim and BaB's have been there FAAAAAAAR longer than me.

I agree with everything here, give it a darker white and ditch the olive color. It feels to... plain.

And Bond, so far no technical problems though.

Here's my recommendation. PANTONE Reflex Solid-coated Blue C. Colour code: #000f89. It's just a step up from what I use for my dad's clinical sleep websites. I really like it.

Here's what it would be in action, quick and dirty in photoshop:

Renwood
05-28-2008, 11:01 PM
little too blue imo; it makes the gray look grayer than it really is; it would work as the main heading color, but those lighter dark grey subheadings should be some shade of blue that corresponds. Gradients daddy

Aladuf
05-28-2008, 11:02 PM
:lolz: I thought that was a print screen of GAF. It's nice, I love the style.

Renwood
05-28-2008, 11:10 PM
Logo would benefit from something more simple. In Fusion, it is integrated into the existing theme, and the logo graphic itself is small and loads quickly. It also fits to most resolutions and window sizes without stretching easily.

http://www.gametavern.net/forums/fusion/misc/left.jpg

I think this is generally the size to aim for, left justified. No background save whatever is behind it in the theme already; the coat of arms and the website name, plus a bit of witty text

Aladuf
05-28-2008, 11:18 PM
Is there anywhere I can go to look for some icons or ideas for a new set up? I have a bit of *style* I like to think. And I'd like to see if I can attempt to scrape something together.

Best way to mimic is to examine the source. Note the inclusion of "edit" as well. If it is to be GAF-Lite, then may it be the best GAF-Lite possible.

Text to denote online/offline status becomes unnecessary if the small graphic can be used (lit for on, muted for off)

I liked the whole experimentation with blue and green. Stick with a darker green I think.

Aladuf
05-29-2008, 02:28 AM
Yeah and I thought that... I guess it's just a good look. I tried to think of things before that didn't resemble GAF but it always just ended up being GAFish... *shrugs*

Renwood
05-29-2008, 02:28 AM
With modified graphics to fit the color/style better, it will be good.

NeoGAF is just modified standard vB; standard vB is standard for a fairly good reason. Its very practical and readable. I don't think it's a problem. Add different color palettes if you want to differentiate from the universal blue, but this as a basics option is keen.

Noticed two things so far:
-Quick reply box header needs to go from grey to new blue as well.
-Usernames next to posts are a little huge

Renwood
05-29-2008, 02:34 AM
Green, Blue, and perhaps black modifications of this standard, along with Fusion, seems like a nice way to offer some different looks without actually having to manage three to four completely different themes.

Renwood
05-29-2008, 02:40 AM
I don't want to make a topic for this.

I have noticed that the "Who's Online" page defaults to sorting alphabetically by username. I can't remember, but I believe vB allows you to designate which criteria to set as the default for sorting.

Most forums go by "Last Activity" since that gives you a quick picture on who is really actively browsing (since the list is keeping track of people that might not have actually clicked anything in 15 to 20 minutes). It can make it a little hard to gauge who is actually, truly on at the moment.

I usually just click "Last Activity" to sort it anyway. Is there a use that someone else has for the alphabetical method that I just don't think of?

I messed with the colors some and came up with this. I think it would adapt well to green and red variants.

If you like the idea, I can work on matching reply / quote / new posts etc., etc. buttons that match the style.

Used the following colors:

4b73aa - Subheading Light Blue
Nevermind the gray; it looks bland when I made another mock-up
bbbbbb -Welcome/PMs box darker gray
f1f1f1 - post background color (quick-reply, standard reply background)

edit - added quick reply box background color since it doesn't match the theme at all as of now. Actually, same with the standard post reply background. Its an odd off-blue color.

Colour theory is a funny thing, but I've learned a few things about it in my 4 years at design school.

I was told not to have the colour red in 2D design a lot for many reasons. If you paint a room red, APPARENTLY people will start to feel uneasy and want to leave. And if you want to make people feel "hungry", you choose yellow. APPARENTLY this is how McDonalds works, but I call bullshit.

Anyways, my point is that I'm not really digging the red. :) If you were to stick with it, I'd make it many shades lighter.

I still remember that Jeepnut :lolz: Though how young and naive to alcohol I was. Glass > Can > Plastic (never drank beer out of a plastic bottle yet so no clue how different it is)

Wasn't it Glass / Can / Bottle?

I remember I preferred a Can and then a Glass. I guess it's still the same.

Alright, I think I'm finally done with the style.

The top left image is just a placeholder until Dyne makes something beautiful.

If there are anymore suggestions please post them soon.

At least it's not yellow lettering. Or rainbow.

But yes, please make it go away.

Perhaps we can try sort of an orange box colour style. Orange and white.

Bond
06-01-2008, 11:57 PM
Well, we're going to have to go with links being underlined then. Otherwise, there's no way of telling what is a link.

Also, Jim, could you make a "forward" button?

Renwood
06-02-2008, 12:12 AM
Yeah, I'll make one tomorrow.

Also, what's the reasoning behind not allowing members to edit their topic titles? I uderstand it on more active, open forums where quick edits would allow for some gross problems, but I'm not seeing that happening here, and if it did, that would be a good reason to then reinstate the limitation.

No reason. It simply wasn't turned on.

I've allowed editing for any and all thread titles, for an hour after you post a thread. Enjoy. :)

It's not worth all that work just so you can have pink and yellow as your scheme.

I found the original .psds. Uploaded them to my website this time. Fuck tinypic.

http://brodeo.us/images/gt/

I added a forward button, and included darker sorting and "latest post" buttons which show up better against the light background.

Online Users is still being sorted alphabetically, rather than by last activity, btw. Also, probably wouldn't hurt to cut off the log at 15 minutes. It says the Googlebot is online, but it's 11:40, and it was last active at 11:20

confusing!

Bond
06-05-2008, 01:13 PM
Would you be able to make an edit button as well, Jim?

And I couldn't find the option to change how Who's Online is sorted. Do you know where it is?

Renwood
06-05-2008, 01:30 PM
Thought I uploaded it. I will when I get home.

I would think it would be somewhere under General Configuration and settings. Its been a while since I used a vB ACP. I know its an option, since other vBulletin boards are set up in that way.

edit: or perhaps I really am just mixing up Invision and vB. I've found a simple mod (one line of code, lol) that defaults to "Last Activity" as the sorter. It can be found here. (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=82977) To download it, you will need the licensed user account of the person who registered vBulletin though. I'm guessing you still don't have that.

Yeah, unfortunately, we're kind of up the creek for that kind of stuff because our main honcho, Neo, isn't around, and only he holds .org and .com access.

EDIT: And yeah, in vBulletin settings, it's only barebones options. No sorting options are there. :(

I changed all those buttons, Jim. If you could just upload the edit button and any others you think would look good that would be great.

When does the license expire?

He bought the full version. Which is good for us, but bad for us at the same time here since he's not around.

Yup.

Let's get that header Dyne and then we can roll out this style!

Renwood, since you're back, it would be swell if you could make a closed and edit button so I can make other styles. :)

Renwood

I already made an edit button?

I know, but I forgot to save it to my computer to upload to my server. So by the time you deleted it from your server it was too late. :(

Renwood
06-14-2008, 12:44 PM
But... I'm looking at it on my screen. It's being hosted at https://mywebspace.wisc.edu/atbond/edit.gif

Ok...Renwood, what you need to have as your avatar is your face like that but next to it put the face of your Mii character... because when I saw that, your Mii is the first thing I thought of.

Renwood
06-14-2008, 03:52 PM
I can try to recreate it with one of those Mii Creator websites, but I don't think it will be possible to truly capture that glory. That lightning does not strike twice.

06-14-2008, 03:54 PM
It's true, many attempts have been made to duplicate that glory but never has it been accomplished. Every time something just always seems.. off.
