Mahz's Dev Journal

Oh my gosh, the lack of colors in the buttons makes it soooo much nicer. Definitely improved the wholeness of the design.

[Ellri]

We got to laugh at the fact you actually added avatar grayscale function... It makes us chuckle.

@Mahz I'm not a Web Desinger by trade--yet, I'm going to school for such come August--but, I do know my way around a CSS document.

I kind of wish the colors for the ratings buttons would return when I hover over the button. Otherwise, I like it.

The only problem with that is that any "hover" options lead to double clicks for mobile users.

Savvy use of @media queries can disable such things for mobile users.

@Captain Jordan

If we integrate that, I'm all for whatever everyone else thinks looks the best. Aesthetics aren't my forte.

Again, the double tap issue doesn't seem to be mobile-specific but device-specific. I personally disagree with avoiding doing things just because a specific device (so far you are the only one to have your problem IIRC), but I guess that isn't really my decision to make.

@TheMaster99

Someone else had it earlier. However, I am on an iPhone, running the latest version of iOS 8, and quite a few people have this.

Fair enough. I must have missed (or forgotten, also possible) the other person.

@Celaira @Shienvien: You don't need to edit the CSS file. If you see some colors that look bad on your screen and you can come up with a better color that works on your screen, just let me know and I'll implement the change. Or just let me know what part of the UI suck and I'll just increase the contrast myself. No big deal. It's just tough for me since everything looks good enough on my screen with my eyes.

@Mahz

I mean, in terms of that red difference, I only noticed a small one. Then again, I scored a 43 on that color test @Shienvien posted. The headache I got during it wasn't fun lol. The reason I said anything in the first place, though, was because it seemed like you wanted people who knew that stuff, so I thought I'd let you know you have people that do. ^^

PM me if you need help with something. This topic is for chit chat about guild developments.

Can you make it so that it doesn't delete everything you've written if you didn't do something right when making a new RP? I had to try multiple times to make one. When making the Interest Check, I didn't put tags on it and lost it, then when making the RP I accidentally clicked the cancel button (not sure why there is one, but it's where the post button used to be and I understand why you can't recover data after that), and the second time I lost everything I forgot to put a title.

@TheUnknowable

Yeah, I need to work on this. Most of the forms on the guild will, upon error, redirect you back to the form and repopulate it with your data. However I can't reuse that mechanism for posts/PMs since it uses browser cookies and they have a 4kb limit (~4,000 characters). I need to code something a bit more custom. If you land on the error page, are you able to press the back button to recover your post? The least I will do for now is print out your title and post on the error page so you don't simply lose it. Sorry if you lost a lot of time due to this. (My solution for this will be a simple draft system. If you submit a post and there's an error, it'll be available as a draft and auto-populate the New Post form when you're redirected back to it.)

[TheUnknowable]

Hitting back goes back to the page I was on before trying to post. I got the post up by doing it in stages, then editing it so that I only risked a few minutes of work.

[Mahz]

Hey Mahz, when I go onto certain threads the server randomly logs me out.

@Erklings25

Is this still an issue for you?

[Mahz]

Hacked the first implementation of a homepage sidebar. As usual, excuse the "design". I'll be extending the sidebar soon with more things.

[Dinh AaronMk]

Oh god, everything on the home page is no longer centered! I about jumped, I thought you messed up the margins or something.
