Re: Official feedback thread for new forum design!
I like the look of it. The blue background is nice
now onto things that could be improved:
when viewing a forum (eg: BlackBerry Classic)
maybe add the word "posts" or "replies" in small font under the large, bold numbers in the left column. ...I know it won't look as clean, but it may help with getting familiar to the new site.
add mouse hover-over options to the orange icons. what does the white pencil within the orange circle mean? what does the white question mark within the orange circle mean? (these icons are located on the post count indicator in the left column.
add: show who created each thread.
when viewing a specific thread:
add hover-over options to two symbols at the top right of a post. the exclamation mark within a triangle should pop up and say "report", and the chain icon should say "copy link to clipboard" when hovering the mouse over this icon.
add something within a thread that will indicate which posts are unread VS posts that I've already read.
Thanks for the fresh look on the forums!
