Top 5 Changes that need to be made to this site...
Well i'm back and all...not much to say really. in any case, i see the next step is to make a list of the 5 things you most want changed, so here goes.
Top 5 (no particular order):
1. Definitely one would have to be the background, it's an eye strain. I do like the blue color, but it clashes with the white background. A darker color background would definitely solve the problem. As in a reverse of the current, having the blue being the lighter color and the background the darker color.
2. Get the glitches straighten out. Sure it's an impossible task seeing as the site's always had them and probably always will, but at least they're not the result of the redesign. The search engine seems to work one week and then not the next. 3. The smiley icons need to be fixed since right now you can only use them in blogs and not comments, which is a major pain. the same can be said with url links. You can link them just fine in blogs, but comments dont work. And in regards to comments, fix it so everything isnt grouped into a giant paragraph.
4. Hmm, what else to change...oh ya, emblems. Uh, what happened to all the emblems we used to have? I see that only the current ones for submissions remained. Not only those, but what about the Show/Person Editorship/TC emblems...i mean, half the fun of this site was to collect them, but now were missing some of them. 5. Though over all, the best change would be to go back to what it was before the redesign. In all honesty, there was nothing that needed to be changed. Ok, so maybe some of the new features are nice, but they could have been added without messing with the color scheme and design. I mean, it's just way more confusing to navigate the site...to click on one thing to get to another and then another instead of the 1-2-3 easy approach with the old design. Why fix something that isnt broken?
Well there you have it. (*Edit* Forget it, i cant seem to break up #s 3 and 5 from #s 2 and 4 resp., so just bear with it. *sigh*)
