What do you think about D-Addicts current layout
Was just curious to what ppl think about the layout and navigation of the site.

It's not like I go like "Wow this is the greatest site I've ever seen" about it, but everything is where it's supposed to be which saves a lot of time that I'd spend on other sites for searching. Too many pictures or colours or whatever might only be confusing. In other words: I'm perfectly fine with the way it is now. No changes please.

First of all, I do stuff like that for a living, and would like to say I agree with all of the above. Dont fix what is not broken.
On the other hand, four fingers and one thumb... eeeeh ok... you could add a few more color options for those who want different themes.
I know the phpBB has three colors as default, but so does my Nokia phone and it's 4 years old or something
We could always add more layout templates for those late night mood swings without changing the actual layout of the button placement.
Do you have a stack of the graphics involved?
Would be fun to see them.

I think it's "clean" and easy to understand/read, no need to change anything. I'm not here for the design anyway...
EDIT: ...and please, no new colors that hurts the eyes...

Believe me, you aren't alone and that option is already in place...ad wrote:Would be nice to have an option to turn off the sigs/avatars. Am i the only one who finds 600x400 sig images annoying?
Check out your profile settings... it's in one of the many many menus Ruroshin has provided for us to customize the site to our taste...
I'd tell you how to do it, but I turned them off so long ago that I don't remember where they are..... ^_^;;;

Hrm, I might leave everything as it is and if I get bored enough maybe I'll change just the header.
Goto Profile->Your Profile->Profile Settings->Reading select no to sigs/avatars and click on submit.ad wrote:Would be nice to have an option to turn off the sigs/avatars. Am i the only one who finds 600x400 sig images annoying?
Lol i think you should think about redesigning the site. I mean it looks good and is easy to use but...for me it feels too generic, it needs a bit more personality.
Just maybe changing the header/navigation would do. Hmmm maybe you could get a mascot or something.
Right now the closest thing to a "logo" for d-addicts is your bonta-kun avatar. It always reminds me of "that d-addicts guy" when i see bonta-kun pics. Well i can see that the actual word "d addicts" in the banner is kind of a logo but it lacks a bit of personality which is why i thought you should maybe get a mascot, it wouldn't really be a logo but at the same time it would give d-addicts a little more personality. That is ofcourse if you don't redesign the site, since a new more unique layout would definately give d-addicts a heap of personality.

i'd like to suggest on GAMES thread. Could you not restrict the number of posts on games? can we let it just be on what it purports to be? Honestly, am quite upset bout it that when it reaches upto 2000 posts then again back to zero. I don’t find the essence of it somehow.
and yeah, bout the site.. although it's satisfactory, i find it too generic. i suggest some personal options in here. ^^

I disabled uploading of avatars to the server, i didn't think it would stop showing all the currently uploaded avatars anyway, the user base is growing quick and the server just won't be able to handle storing and displaying that many avatars so I have decided to only allow off-site avatars. All you have to do is upload your avatar to free sites like photobucket.com and link it from there.pRincEton giRL wrote:one more thing... why is my avatar not working anymore??? why why why?
ps. your signature is a little long, can you please remove one of the pictures or shrink the big one alittle bit and put it side by side with the little one instead of one under the other. Thanks.
Yeah, the site is great. I'm also leaning towards don't fix it.
However, there is one thing that I have a problem with and i'm not sure if it can be fixed cuz it's common on other sites. When I do s search, it doesn't necessarily send me to what i'm searching for. Example: if i'm searching for "ABC" movie, I would get a a list with a thread where what i'm looking for is somewhere within 50 pages and there's no way in hell I can find it. I like how google works where they search to the exact page. That's the only problem that I have with this site..but don't take it personal, it's similar to many top notch site.
example: I searched for a movie and clubbox. I just got clubbox forum which is HUGE...I can't find it.

actually there is a Display results as: option which can pick display as post rather than display as topic this will take you directly to the post that matches your search and not the topic/thread.goygakgoy wrote:Yeah, the site is great. I'm also leaning towards don't fix it.

First of all, I really like the layout of this forum, better than others.
I searched around this site but can't find the answer. On Profile, you have Subscribed Topics. If you have more than 15 topics, you would get a link to 2nd page and so forth. If you click on it, it doesn't go to 2nd page. Furthermore, "Next" doesn't work either. Is it my PC or anyone is experiencing the same problem. Thanks!

^ Interesting bump. I don't use subscription... It's annoying. I just use 'your posts' search a lot.
I never posted here... I love the layout, but I can't say 'I like the way it is and don't ever change'. I remember when we didn't have that left side navigation menu, but it's kind of hard to imagine how I ever navigated without it now..
There's always new ways to improve the layout/forum, and the suggestion thread is great. Most forums don't have things like that, and is very reluctant/lazy to change and improve. Keep up the good work
