Some things that could be improved

Post by momuuu »

1) the notification bar that EP 1.00.5 is now available is driving me crazy. It's fucking annoying on mobile and it appears every time I navigate around the forum. I have to close it with every page I read, it's really driving me crazy. Please make it so that it won't show up anymore once you've clicked it away or something, or at least allow me to turn it off.

2) The notification menu does not work on mobile. Clicking on the bell and then I topic that notified me, I get directed to the home page.

3) If you post something and then are quoted by someone, you get a notification like you should. If someone quotes that person, you also get a notification which is useless and annoying. I got 12 notifications (and counting?) for this thread for example where I got directly quoted only once: viewtopic.php?p=83310#p83310

4) when trying to write point 3, I noticed there is no possibility to make a word or sentence link something. I wanted to insert that link in this thread but couldn't. Although I might be missing something.

5) The quote tunnels are really annoying. The old site removed any nested quotes starting at the 3rd nested quote I think (so a maximum of 2 comments quoted within a 'tunnel'). That'd be much better than what it is right now. It would be even better if it were done like it works on team liquid, which automatically makes it like this:

interesting comment


Maybe could be even more stylish, but this is what I came up with. On teamliquid, it happens at the second quote even, which could be even better. But at least fix the quote tunnels.

6) This:

It really should be horizontal.

7) while I am at it, I don't like the red color for spoiler personally. It doesnt need to draw that much attention imo.

I agree with you on all of these things especially 3 and 4.

Yes. Same for gifs in signatures (I know I used to have a gif avatar...).

Signatures are like a personal trail of farts following your post.
They seemed so unique when you wrote them, a distillation of your finest thoughts, and yet nobody can truly appreciate them, except yourself. And still, you insist on sticking'em right into everyone's EYE.

I had some problems with setting on this forum when I am in by mobile. At the moment it's ok. Also, by mobile I can't see how many post I have done, just the rank

Anyone knows why when I am going to sign up, I go offline automatically? It's a forum bug or? From pc it doesn't

Apperantly the notifications still dont work on mobile. I think the spot where you have to click to get redirected correctly is rather specific.

you may be aware of this: some of the text on threads goes onto others on mobile, clicking on notifications takes you to home page

Aware of these.

If someone wants to compile a thread with all known bugs in one post in a nice formatted list, I'll sticky it. Can add all feature requests from this forum as well, but please separate bugs and feature requests if you do. A google docs document might even work better.

We can't really do a lot with things only as specific as "this forum is uglier".

Hey,
Is it possible to bring the flags back? I really liked them.

What browser is this in? Also, what page is this supposed to be, for that matter? It's so bad I can't tell...

much of the layout looks crappy unless I use a proxy to access the site

Sounds like something on your end must be causing the problem if using a proxy fixes it.
