I'm not a fan of the favicon. There, I said it. I know a member made it and I think it's very noble of him to try and make this website a better place, but I just think it clashes with the overall design of this website. I thought I'd make it similar to the slaent twitter link image. Wanted to do it in the proxima nova font but what the fuck you have to pay money for fonts?! Get the fuck outta here.
So I slapped this together as a proof of concept. I'm by no means a graphic designer (just look at the aliasing eww).

Thanks Bacon! The favicon was just temporary until I knock out a proper logo. I didn't want the hard work of someone to go to waste because I was too lazy to make a .ico file.
I like it bacon! Good job, although... I'll probably never see the favicon because I use Safari.
Front page looks so purty now.

I like that db, although I'd recommend still having username with a miniaturised avatar above the Edit Profile button, at least as ar reminder that you're logged in.
By db Go To PostEhh... the amount of red is really distracting to the left. It's just like overwhelming and i your face. I like the more low key look of it now tbh.
Normally I don't like the metro/xbox box menu type stuff but you have so few categories slaent can get away with it. You could make the staff picks (or however you populate it) one of each category that matches the boxes for the pc version.

By vire Go To PostEhh… the amount of red is really distracting to the left. It's just like overwhelming.Honestly I think the white text gets lost depending on the av. Personally I think a sidebar that can be shoved away would be ideal anyway.

I'd prefer grey text with white little icons, and then shrink down the edit profile/logout bar.
Something like this: (Shamelessly stolen from my brother's website):

three hotdogs, with a windows 10 launch pad below it on the side bar? no thanks

I thought I'd make it similar to the slaent twitter link image. Wanted to do it in the proxima nova font but what the fuck you have to pay money for fonts?! Get the fuck outta here.It was never a design job, it was merely a utility 'shop, literally copy-pasting the website's wordmark (back then when it had a red header), fitting it into a square and packaging it into an .ico file in multiple sizes, since the website didn't have any favicon. So yeah of course it was always meant to be just a makeshift until Reilo comes up with a logo.
So I slapped this together as a proof of concept. I'm by no means a graphic designer (just look at the aliasing eww).
And @vire, it makes loads of difference for me even on Safari:
Now that I think about it, too bad I didn't badger Reilo to add an apple-touch-icon.png as well for the iOS homescreen :P
Nah, that's the beauty of having multiple browsers installed innit. No one will ever try to run Chrome Canary on my computer. I hope for their sake.
I've had trouble logging in recently. Apparently I had accidentally inserted a space after my username. Took me a while to figure that out. Be warned, don't be an idiot like me.
By Dipro Go To Postreilo plsThey need to come in here and answer some questions so I can best gauge what the issue is. I can't keep track of this stuff in other threads.

Do you find it that you are leaning left to read this article on NYT?
http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/24/world/middleeast/john-kerry-defends-iran-nuclear-deal-before-skeptical-senate.html
The layout of the NYT leans left and has quite a bit of negative space that isn't symmetrical. Ditto for Mashable:
http://mashable.com/2015/07/23/george-martin-ant-man-marvel/
Or is the issue related more to the contrast? Because I can make the left side off-white like the rest of the layout, but you'd still be leaning right to read it. In fact, given the nature of avatar placement, there'll always be some right lean.
Annoying programmer nitpick 3000 time:
Attempting to change forum name to a string that only contains non-alphanumerics (like &, or ;) results in a Server Error 500, instead of just sending you back to the profile edit.
Including them with alphanumerics, as shown above, works correctly.
The only way I can get the "Enter a valid username" prompt to appear is if I attempt to enter brackets [ ] { }

By Sharp Go To PostSubtle.Hah! I didn't think of that, was a purely literal statement.
Bruv I posted about it in here yesterday. You have a lost like 5 after mine lol.
I just want the old width back. If there's something I can do on my end via chrome on win 7 I would gladly implement it

By Facism Go To PostBruv I posted about it in here yesterday. You have a lost like 5 after mine lol.You were talking about the width of the sidebar which is a different issue than the one that's being described here. I've already addressed the position and width of the sidebar and even said I would attempt to design a slimmer version, here:

By reilo Go To PostTweaked. I've been thinking about working on a slimmer menu for a while now, maybe iconography based. I'll take a stab at it and see where I land. Thanks for the feedback!And in fact, in the beta we had a slimmer version (like 64px width total) and people didn't like it back then.

i just want it back to how it was m8. Not twice the thickness i'm too tight for the girth on display
By Facism Go To PostI'll try and live through it.I've screwed around with my dark theme a bit to make it look like this:
If people want it I can upload a classic theme for those who'd like it?
I can make a white version as well if people would prefer that.
Edit: ignore the background pictures for the staff picks, this is an older screenshot I grabbed form earlier in the thread.
By Facism Go To PostJem, a white version would be sensationalAlight, give me a few minutes and I'll set it all up.
Alright here's the themes and instructions: http://slaent.com/thread/320743/page/1/#p320743
By DominicanPower Go To PostWhat's up with the font? Feel like I'm on Chrome.What do you mean?
Sometimes the front page doesn't fully load when browsing on mobile. I only get the first two staff picks and about five threads. Refreshing doesn't fix it, but clearing my cache and cookies does. Not sure if that's an issue on my end or yours. I'm using Chrome on a Galaxy S5.

Search function is totally broken. Try searching for a word; it will list posts that contain that word up to a certain amount of posts, and after that it just starts showing posts that doesn't have the word in them.
Search is a big to-do item. It's pretty broken right now and needs to be re-done in many ways, least of which are adding actual search options.
By reilo Go To PostSearch is a big to-do item. It's pretty broken right now and needs to be re-done in many ways, least of which are adding actual search options.Looking forward to it. Good luck.
This was probably already suggested but why not make your quoted post a different color, it stands out like it does on GAF and it's easier to see.
By Suen Go To PostSearch function is totally broken. Try searching for a word; it will list posts that contain that word up to a certain amount of posts, and after that it just starts showing posts that doesn't have the word in them.Most likely the term you're searching for is either in the thread title of the post you're searching for, bbcode markup, or the tokenized version of it is there (e.g. "hat" if you searched for "hats").
I'm really impressed with the work done so far, nice job
would be cool to have a feature to show who quoted me
played a little with the side bar
if you click on the middle user icon it's supposed to expand to show edit profile/settings/logout or whatever, but I'm not sure how intuitive that is
icons were whatever shit I came across on google

By ReRixo Go To PostI'm really impressed with the work done so far, nice jobCool idea! Chances are I'll slim down the menu down though based on user feedback.

For the last week I have been having a problem where replies are not loading properly. I think a couple of lads in the footy thread are having the same thing.
It only seems to happen when you refresh a page and it loads the new replies.
