Additional Forum Upgrades
Posted: Thu Apr 3, 2014 12:03 am
Thanks everyone for continuing to provide feedback and suggestions. The latest changes seem to have been received a lot more positively so we are happy to be headed in the right direction.
Some more design tweaks made today:
- Added topic title back to each post and made the font slightly darker so it's easier to read
- Changed default post times to relative time (this can be changed back in My Profile > Board Preferences if you are unhappy)
- Added rounded edges to the forums and posts
- Made the post separator bar a little smaller
Favorite team icon updates:
- We are going to keep the team icons displayed vertically instead of horizontally. It keeps short posts more compact and leads to less scrolling overall.
- We are working on adding soccer team icons (thanks to Baphomet for the help!)
- We will update the NHL and NFL icons
- At this time, we can't allow you to pick multiple favorite teams in the same league
- At this time, we can't link the team icons to their respective forums
- At this time, we won't be expanding and adding college teams
Search updates:
- We can't enable normal keyword searching yet, but we are going to try out expanding the search functionality
- You can now view all of your own posts and won't be limited to the first page of results
- A time delay is enabled to keep the load down, so you might need to wait a minute between search requests
- You can now view the post history of other users (click on their profile, then view all posts)
And1 updates:
- Your 5 most And1'd posts are now displayed in your profile
- The 5 posts you've recently And1'd are now displayed in your profile
- We are not going to add a flop/dislike button at this time
- FYI: You can click on the number next to an And1 to see who has And1'd the post
Mobile App:
- The mobile app is developed by a third party and we can not customize or upgrade it at all with things like And1 or team icons, unfortunately.
