Title: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes. Post by: LMS5400 on June 19, 2018, 06:26:38 PM I'm a UI developer so I can't sit idle about some glaring issues here.
- Font is too hard to read and too small. - The title font is almost the same color as background when posting a new topic, I can't even read it! - The icons are animated, skeuomorphic in a bad way, outdated and basically hard to understand. - The color contrast makes things painful to read. - I cant edit my own topics after I post? Or i cant find out how -- either way, its bad. I suggest moving to better forum software such as Invision Power board. Title: Re: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes. Post by: Ultra on June 19, 2018, 06:49:20 PM Sorry to hear you don't like it. You can change the way the forum looks in your profile under "Look and Layout Preferences" by changing the theme. The SMF Default theme is available for all to use if they don't like this one. Thanks.

For editing, there is a small pen with a white rectangle on the right of your post. Click it, and edit what you want to edit. Title: Re: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes.

I will be honest at times I have a problem reading the contents of this site and I did try the other themes (which weren't any better) but I did come across a work around. In your browser settings there should be a screen zoom function. I have IE 11 and the little "Cog" icon in the top right of the menu bar opens the browser settings menu and the third option down the list is Zoom. Just click it and set it to 125% and it makes reading posts much easier and makes the text less blurry. Then reset the zoom for other sites. This solution isn't perfect but I have an old browser (I have an old laptop!) and my eyes are even older but newer browsers should still have a similar Zoom function. Hope it helps.

Not sure on mobile but usually on the right above your post you will see "Modify". Title: Re: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes.

Yeah, you can also hold down ctrl and use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out and then it will only affect the site you're on. I read the forum at 175% zoom because the high resolution on my monitor makes everything small. The forum is designed to be functional even without full HD resolutions, so if you run a higher res, you might need to zoom in. Title: Re: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes.

You may have saved the future of my eyesight! +1 point Title: Re: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes. Post by: LMS5400 on June 20, 2018, 04:36:08 PM Sure, I understand I can change my local settings and improve some of these issues but I think we can agree the UI/UX can be quite a bit better for everyone with a few simple changes.
Thank you Title: Re: Sometimes some negative feedback is needed. Here goes. Post by: Ultra on June 21, 2018, 01:19:22 AM - The title font is almost the same color as background when posting a new topic, I can't even read it! I changed this just now. Hope it helps. |
