Hello.

Welcome.

Currently, they look like non-functioning links.

@LegendBegins

Good point. I'll play with it. Update: Alright, turned the Go-> button into just -> buttons with yellow text and some horizontal padding to give them some tappable width.

Mahz's Dev Journal

<Snipped quote by LegendBegins>I'd support it - the current buttons are a bit unrefined, and on smaller screens, the borders tend to get (paritally) "eaten" (which leaves just floating links). And while we are at it, could the hover color be changed to something other than white? Edit: Another tiny styling thing: could the shadow effect on tabs be removed? It makes the text look fuzzy in forum view.

@Shienvien

Alright, re-rounded the pager and removed the white-on-hover. Which tabs/shadow-effect are you referring to? These tabs?

Mahz's Dev Journal

Okay, it's been removed.

personally think the 'latest ICk' is not a good idea. Things seem to crowded.

@UltikanaRe

Agreed. I was hoping I'd come up with another idea soon. I'll play with it. I'm just going to reverse the mobile directive. Seems like it made it worse for most people. Every company I've worked at has had 1+ full-time dedicated people on mobile-friendliness.

Contest and Need Help sections keeps switching

@Mahz, I've been noticing that the Contest and Help section are switching spots every so often for me. You might want to check on that.

@Kirra

Fixed.

Something about those shiny new "Go -->" buttons strikes us wrongly. Its nice to have something that is easier to hit than the old single-character button, but something feels off now. maybe its the lack of yellow(ish) coloring, or maybe its the word "go" in there. Not sure, but maybe it'd look better with that old link symbol you had plus an arrow inside one of those gray boxes?

@Ellri

I've run across enough people confused about "chain arrow" to realize it's just not a good analogy. But like you, nothing really came to mind. Hence, "Go". Maybe you're right or just even an arrow will do.

Oh, and one other (also minor thing) that we've been annoyed by for a while... RP topics. Character sheet tab. Tab title. It uses the abbreviation [CHAR], when most abbreviate character sheets to [CS]. Is it an option to change that?

@Ellri

Sure.

And if it won't clutter too much... Would it be possible for RPs with the [NRP] tag (or in the NRP section) to have that tab renamed to [NS]/[Nation Sheets]? Or would that be more work to accomplish than its worth?

@Ellri

Maybe we could get more general and allow GMs to give each tab a custom title if they'd like. [IC] My Title, [OOC], [CS] Nations Just not sure where I'd display them on mobile device-widths.

Latest push: - You can now collapse/expand categories. When you collapse a category, it's saved in a browser cookie (Your browser will remember your settings). - Who's Online list is now collapsed. You can click "View All" to expand it. - The userbar replaces your username with "You" only if you're on a small device (to prevent long usernames from making it wrap).

Is that so necessary for something that only takes up space at the bottom? What's below the Who's Online box that is so important on mobile?

@Captain Jordan

Only an issue because of the new "Go to Bottom" button. You shouldn't have to back-track across the Who's Online list.

Safari on iOS is just pure shit. I'm sorry to the iPhone users out there, but it is. At least on Mac, users have a choice of browser.

@Captain Jordan

These days you can install Chrome and Firefox on iOS. I just made the mistake of loading the site in Safari first. Breath of sanity when I loaded it in Chrome.

What about Console Users.

@The Slenderman

I don't know. What issues have you been experiencing since today's changes? You told me that yesterday hiders stopped working for you. I'm looking into that. Anything else? What do I need to do? You need to help me help you.
