Tay Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 As promised, yet more chaos has descended upon the Fuwa Forums index sidebar. This time in the form of quick-link images. Option 1 - Large Boxes Option 2 - Small Boxes I'm interested in criticism, praise, alternates, etc. We're already in this deep, I'm not afraid of doing some science : P Kimossab and Darklord Rooke 2 Quote
Nosebleed Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 That is some low quality screenshotting. Tay pls. I like the quick links though Quote
Mr Poltroon Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Alright. Now hurry and hide all that garbage up top right. Quote
Eclipsed Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I like sidebar quick links. Any plans to change the stuff at the top or just leave it and we have 2 places to go to whatever now Quote
Tay Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 I like sidebar quick links. Any plans to change the stuff at the top or just leave it and we have 2 places to go to whatever now Well, if we can do the quick-links right, then yes, we can start messing with the top bar again. Quote
arakura Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I like this. It's pretty and helps new members get around! Quote
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Weren't the previous ones already kinda quick ? The idea isn't bad. But maybe it's a little too much ^^. Otherwise, there's only a problem with the colors that don't really blend in, the designs themselves are good. Quote

Otherwise, there's only a problem with the colors that don't really blend in, the designs themselves are good. They feel a little big and clunky for my taste, too. Maybe we should try having them all in a single row... Quote
Kaguya Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 It looks really bad to me. I'd just get rid of it altogether. Quote
havoc Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 simple, comvenient, practical. It's been ages since I have seen That happen. So good job Tay. Functional without going overboard. something a lot of sites and otherwise could use a touch off. Quote
Nosebleed Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 With things side by side it looks a bit redundant with the top bar. However, it does look better than the giant as hell buttons, but either keep one or the other, not both. Quote
Tay Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Changed to a small variant. Both options shown in first post for comparison. I much, much, much prefer the 1-row variant. Quote
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Looks better (still colors :/), but will you get rid of what's left (or top in other themes) ? it's seems a little strange having the same links on the same page (and so close to each other). Quote
Nosebleed Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Tay pls. My OCD can't handle this Jptje and Emi 2 Quote
Tay Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Yes, everyone, I know that there is redundancy between these quick-links, and the forums software links. We'll delete the redundancy once we're happy with a quicklinks solution on the index sidebar. RE: Nosebleed -- It uploaded the wrong version of that first block. Fix should be in just a sec. Quote
Tay Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Tay pls. My OCD can't handle this Should be fixed forevermore. Quote
Tay Posted March 12, 2015 Author Posted March 12, 2015 Okay... stable stopping point. Thoughts? Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I love it. Graphic links instead of words, very nice. And it replaces the (semi-useless) birthday thing (I always thought it was fairly pointless) which reduces the number of categories on the right. I ALSO like how it advertises the chat without you needing to sign in. Quote
Nayleen Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 The lack of horizontal spacing on "Reviews" is irking me out. Quote
Darklord Rooke Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Can't do much about it though Damn! Birthdays are back Quote

What if I told you they aren't gone, never were gone, and never will be gone... just... moved...? fufufufufu The lack of horizontal spacing on "Reviews" is irking me out. I will make the psd available for anyone's tinkering : P FYI: sidebar is 250px Link: All in one row PSD Link: Four boxes PSD Quote
Guest Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 Since these are gone from the tool bar they are only clickable from the forum front page. Which makes them quicklinks from the front page, but not very quick from everywhere else. This is one of the reason of why they where convienient on the left. Maybe that's intentionnal, but I'll point it out if ever it isn't. Quote
Eclipsed Posted March 12, 2015 Posted March 12, 2015 I like the compactness of the compressed quicklinks Also like Birthdays being on the bottom and the removal of Calendar! Quote
