people will get used to it...some fair good with change, some dont.
I don't mind...just looks "bulky" right now.

Ridemonkey's New Look...
- Thread starter Superdeft
- Start date
Why the New Server? What happened to Ridemonkey.com?
I really Dig the PM features 
Now I can DL all of them, and keep my PM box clean instead of being called a frikkin NEWB!
EDIT: as long as we are saying the things we miss, the little time and date that somthing was posted that was in the user box was a reallllly nice feature. You should bring that back
And what does the reason for editing box do?

Just comments for the future tweaks:
Having each post kind of seperated into its own box really makes the page a lot longer.. Don't really like that.
And the username box on the left.. I don't think we need the labels, it just makes it harder to read. We know that "Ridemonkey" is the user name. "Offline" is pretty indicitive of a status. "User Group" isn't even really valid because custom titles aren't a user group.. you get the idea.
Other than that, I think the grey and blue looks slick. Good job guys. And we got the :mumble: smilie!

Yes, I immediately had the same question.Ridemonkey said:
I have many likes and dislikes, but I understand you're not completely done...still tweeking.
the page doesnt fit on my screen and i have to scroll from left to right. am i the only one with that problem? i kinda like it. im just glad its back up. i went a week without the internet and when it finally gets reconnected RM is down! AAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! i think i need help.
No, but that will get fixed I am sure.laura said:
Lots of good suggestions in this thread. I'll be implementing some of them.
Regarding the posts being longer - I think a solution to that will be the implementation of some footer guidelines. Footers are out of control and it's just ruining a lot of threads.

I like it. Change is good.....jdcamb
I don't like it. But really my issues are small. The font size is not adjustable by the sizing built into browsers. So it is HUGE. And white space around ....everything, seems really excessive. Otherwise colours and stuff don't ever both me.
I agree with most of the stuff everyone else has said, green, no boxes, and all the avatar and name stuff, and the showing pictures part.
Also, I really like how you can mouse over topics and read what they start to say without actually opening it, but can you make it so that the box does not dissapear after only a couple seconds?
Looks good!

That has to do with how Windows displays the "Tool Tips". Unless there's a specific piece of XML code that relates to it, it's not adjustable in anything else, so...greenreese said:
The pages are very slow to load, and jerky when scrolling. Are these simply upgrade growing pains and will go away?
binary visions said:
I dont have that problem at all.
Also, I do not have to scroll left and right to view it. And... the fonts are not huge.
Maybe its because i'm running the superior browser, Mozilla Firefox
EDIT: Just found somthing else. in my above post, "Mozilla Firefox" is a link, and you dont know that until you mouse over it
I think BigMike second's my motion. (for links to be a different color)BigMike said:
Maybe its because you use a high resolution and prefer bigger fonts then some do. Personally I like my resolution to be normalish and the fonts to be small. These fonts are signifigantly bigger than they used to be.BigMike said:
opie will never stop bitching about it!Ridemonkey said:The look was changed because the old style set was not compatible with the new software. I figure I'd start with something new and tweek it until you stop bitching about it
I'm not seeing it that way. Can you post a screen shot?Roasted said:
My fonts look fine, except when I'm entering text into the reply box - that font is huge.
And I'm using firefox too, Mike - it's still not as smooth scrolling or fast loading as the last version.

My vote is for more of the good old greeny-ness that was RM. All in favor, vote aye!
Post that screen shot!Transcend said:
OK
The spaces are good, but could we get the onestar emoticon fixed if possible?

Hmmmm.... Its just too different and reminds me way too much of MTBR, which I went to for fun yesterday when RM was down
What we need back is the green, no spacing between posts, all the stuff to the left the same way it was (in order of top to bottom: username, title, avatar, location, posts). Also, all the buttons are in the wrong places!
Thats all for now, if it will make you feel better, I'll surely think of more things.

Alright just a few of my ideas for tweaks, some repeated and others new:
- User names above avatar - Take it out of the table so its just a bold name like it was before, then leave the status, usergroup, posts all in the cells with the border.
- Image atachments display
- Color tweaks? (Green was nice!)
- Link color tweaked to be easily identifiable
- Font sizes in some areas could be smaller
- Icons - This one takes forever but they are way too bulky for my liking, the old ones didn't seem to take up as much room.
- Tweak the stylesheet, the line-height is a bit much I think, spaces text out in wierd ways. Take my signature for example, the links are spaced more than the text that says "A big thank you to:"
- remove the table spacing between posts, makes for a long page
- Have the "Home" (homepage button) open in a new window rather than the parent
Also: - Be careful with footer guidelines, I know mine isn't super small but it isn't super big. We have had sponsors specifically ask for their link to be in our signatures and if you restrict it too much that might not be possible.
I have huge text in all text boxes, also browsing without cookies is majorly screwed up, maybe this could be fixed too?!binary visions said:
Also, not sure if this has been mentioned but in the UserCP the attachment feature is awesome, shows you what you have attached to your posts and what post you attached them to, however when you click on the link to show thumbnails it doesnt generate thumbnails. Attached is a quick screenshot of what it displays, my guess is there isn't the software installed on the server to create thumbnails, just a quick note incase no one has noticed it yet.

Should be working now. Will you try an attachment in this thread?mplutodh1 said:
test, this is only a test
Attachments
Lets try that again

Alright, not sure why it didnt post before but yup the show image works, it creates the thumbnail in the post, however in your UserCP it doesnt show the thumbnail, not a huge issue but just one to note.

Has this happened more than once?mplutodh1 said:
Yeah, everytime I view this thread. Doesn't appear to happen in other threads.Ridemonkey said:
Hah, cool you can upload more than one attachment!
I agree that footers/signatures need to be limited... it's really getting out of hand with some people (large fonts, animated smilies, etc) and makes the pages so much longer... especially now that each post is in its own box (which i think should be changed).
If someone needs to list off a bunch of sponsors, then fine but do it in a really small font and be prepaired not to have room for anything else.

I pity the fool.
Any idea why avatar uploads won't work?
Another forum I visit limits them to 3 lines that are in a small font and can only include text and links.911 said:
I prefere the colour scheme to the old one.
I get the slow scrolling during loading in firefox as well, perhaps caused by each post being a seperate table?
Try it now.Superdeft said:
