Introducing RealGM's Redesign

Post #281 » by **SuperDeluxe** » Fri Dec 26, 2014 8:22 pm

Why am I getting an email notification every time anybody replies to a thread I've posted in? Makes me want to stop posting

EDIT: I suspect this is something that I should be able to manage within the "UCP_MAIN_NOTIFICATIONS" tab in my preferences. But when I click on that tab I'm being taken to a completely blank page.

I am using a blackberry and when I click to view a youtube video, it gets cut off and I cannot enlarge it to see the entire youtube window in the thread

I still am finding myself wading and scrolling through tons of days old/unimportant NBA news and "who cares" stats to even find the forums. Ugh...such backward design for those who use your site on a regular basis.

Easy fix. Put the forums at the top of the page next to the Headline story and all the other outdated and useless stuff below.

Yeah, I like everything else, but the app not working anymore kills it for me.

Are they working on fixing access via the Tapatalk APP??????

Maybe your site went from 30% mobile to 70% mobile because those are the only people you catered to and there wasn't a viable desktop version??? How hard is it to make a version of a site that utilizes the large widescreen that probably 95% of desktops are using? I see plenty of forums that have done this, even just using generic vBulletin code or whatever. It's just lazy to make a site that only uses 55% of the screen width, with nothing but white bars on each side.

Majority of people who are making money online, they don't like to purposely alienate their users. You generally go with the improved trends. My site made the swing from 30% to 70% before I even learned how to do responsive coding and design. The trend was already happening. Instead of letting it past me by, I adapted. It took some time for people to get used to the change, but eventually the majority of them did. It's just that initial period that you have to work through.

Yeah, I don't get a notification when I receive an 'And-1'.

On my iPhone 5S I can't click into my notifications.

Why don't I get notifications for And1s anymore? I need that back to feed my ego

And1s are the only reason I'm on RealGM

I didn't know Stevie Wonder did web design.

How do you get used to having 50% of your screen be filled with empty space? haha. Fact remains that many sites are able to accommodate both, even sites with cookie cutter vBulletin forums. I'm just wondering why it's so hard to write a code that says "if somebody is using a 1080p monitor, don't limit the horizontal width of a plaintext forum posts to 1000 pixels". I don't see how that harms the mobile experience, or even has any effect on it at all for that matter.

I know eh. Tapatalk is my primary way to access.

Another vote for tapatalk.
Tapatalk doesn't show embedded twits. Is that tapatalk issue or realgm issue?
What's the point of +1 right to the post count on topic list for the forums?

SactoKingsFan · Post #295 » by **SactoKingsFan** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 6:34 pm

I'm also hoping we get Tapatalk back. At least half of my post were from mobile devices using Tapatalk or Realgm app.

Post #296 » by **JaysRule15** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 7:00 pm

Can we please bring back notifications for And1s? Or at least make it an option in the notification settings for people who want them?

Hijinks · Post #297 » by **Hijinks** » Sat Dec 27, 2014 7:12 pm

i have the knicks board bookmarked and log in via the button on that site. yet i am redirected to the board overview after i log in. thus i have to click my way to the knicks board again. wasn't like that before the redesign.

please fix that!

I liked the +1 notifications
