See, I rarely comment on the site changes. But, those logos were really looking good and I liked the bright colored stuff (in contrast with the site's monotonous , but consistent design). I mean, the brown theme of the site is good and consistent, but those stream logos kind of highlighted the fact that "Hey, something LIVE is going on".

Maybe, you can reconsider this or somehow ask the masses. Anyways, its a request :)

Maybe consider this as feedback

Your feedback is definitely appreciated! Happy to talk about it. I agree that Twitch streams are important, and it's cool to point out when something live is going on, but it seems to be there are ALWAYS at least one or two people streaming -- it's not really something terribly exciting when there's always one there, is it? Plus, highlighting low-viewer count, low-quality (honestly the viewer count generally follows the stream quality pretty well) streams dilutes it when a good stream is on.

Maybe we could do something where Twitch streams above a certain viewer count threshold get special coloring / colored icons / etc. I think that'd be a good way to highlight the important streams without it being super distracting all the time. I'm not sure, however, what a good threshold would be. Around 50? 30?

I also agree getting some more color on the site is good. The brown site *is* pretty bland. However, I think it has to be done in a thoughtful way that doesn't feel too out of place. Slapping color on without too much thought as to what's really important feels like it's 1999.

- show both AoE3 and AoEO streams

Dolan wrote:@musketeer925 It makes sense to be so, because the links assigned to those buttons have a padding of 17px 10px, which means the height includes 17px*2 + font size (13px, inherited from the body). You get 47px, when the container, the top bar, has a fixed size of 45px. Also links have a min-height of 45px, which means they might get adjusted to a higher value.

Try this, change the links properties to this:

Code: Select all

.Navigation__link {
    display: block;
    height: 45px;
    line-height: 45px;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    padding: 0px 10px;
    color: #ebe5b9;
    vertical-align: middle;
}

Then you could re-adjust the social icons to this setting:

Code: Select all

.Social__icon {
    padding: 17px 10px 14px;
    color: #ebe5b9;
}

Though, personally, I don't like this solution. Both types of links should be included in a flex container, this would make using padding to fix issues of alignment unnecessary.
Still, it seems to work, so it could be used as a temporary solution. I would rework both to use a flex container, though.

.like {
    /* height: 14px!important; */
    color: black!important;
    line-height: 16px;
}

As I am actually participating in betting this time, I got tired of trying to find the full tournament history of a player, so I added a panel to the profile that shows previous tournament participation and results:

memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=307

I've got more plans to make it better, but wanted to get a rough thing out for people to use.
