@Mr Bill, the little arrow in the lower-right of each post scrolls up to the top, if you just want to jump up with your mouse.

Yeah, noticed that earlier and it will do. But will only know of bell if one jumps up and checks. I was suggesting that the top show up if you scrolled up a little to make it easy to check bell and not loose place.

OK so to fix my other thing, we'd need to set the postbody class to have

Code: Select all

width: calc(100% - 230px);

That maintains the 15px of current padding on either side of the divider. If we reduce the padding inside the post, that number can shrink by twice the padding reduction.

and set the max-width:700 media query to be

Code: Select all

width: 100%;

So that's not terrible. it was four edits instead of just the two I initially proposed, but it's doable.

well, I mean, I know juuuuust enough, and I didn't want to propose any changes that I can't handle myself. LOL

The other thing I'd like to do (still working on it) is bringing the text of the post to the left closer to that divider. I think that's a side-effect of my previous edit that I didn't notice.

I think you just signed up.

Now just who is in the Grateful Dead Tshirt?

Ahem.

1) Tighten up the header. I'm thinking of placing JbiNed at the top and the forum title/tag immediately to their right. Total height should be about under half of what's there now.

Assuming it's okay to edit the header HTML directly, inside the site-description DIV:

Code: Select all

	<a href="./index.php" title="Board index">
		<img src="...ag-header-small.jpg" alt="">
		<div id="logo-text">
			<h1>Anonymous Gerbil</h1>
			<p>Inside the second chance.</p>
		</div>
	</a>

Add in common.css:

Code: Select all

#logo-text {
	display: inline-block;
	vertical-align: middle;
}

Then there's the question of what to do with the stylistic overlap of the main area over the header.
A crude fix would be, in milk.css:

Code: Select all

#inner-wrap {
	...
	/* margin-top: -50px !important */
	...
}

Still takes up too much space, methinks.

I prefer the look and layout of Milk v2 to Prosilver, though a lighter choice of colors on the same theme might be easier on the eyes.

I'd agree. The background/text contrast is a bit low for my taste Though the post editor is fine. I'd actually probably go with darker background colors than lighter text, for most stuff. That said, what is there now is usable and I'm not complaining too loudly as that tends to get me volunteered to fix things.

Oh, and we need to fix the Smilies. They all have weird white pixel fuzz around them.

My eyeballs get some sort of image burn-in like a CRT if I spend too much time reading light text against dark backgrounds. If I close my eyes or look away, I see window blinds.

Comparing to [another place], I think the big thing missing is color. I count 3-4 shades of gray, and everything king of feels like it's melding together. Theme could swap out one of the grays with a semi-dark blue (like what's at the top of the page), and that would probably improve things.

I would definitely prefer a text color that pops out of the background better. Typing into a box here feels fine since it's white (or near-white) text against a darker gray background, but in the preview (and the posts) both colors start to converge, with darker text and a lighter background. Actually, I really like how the text looks in the posting box.

Here's pure white for the sake of comparison.

[derFunkenstein]

Yeah somewhere between the current color and white would be nice.
