Title: I've been making little design tweaks to ballp.it
Post by: Lemon on June 17, 2015, 10:33:06 am: You might have noticed some of them.

I'm mainly just trying to clean everything up a bit and make the design a little bit more consistent.

If you come across something that looks particularly fucked up, let me know here. Also this is probably a good time for you to wish upon a star with any UI tweaks you'd like to see.

Post by: Frank West on June 17, 2015, 12:50:37 pm: Can you limit bulbs to once per day/every few days, instead of once per thread? Like half the posts on this forum happen in very long threads so bulbs don't happen.

EDIT: Or don't limit it at all, IDK.

Post by: Ambious on June 17, 2015, 02:06:35 pm: The thread icons are too big for my taste, make the threads spread out too far apart and as a result far less of them fit the screen.

Post by: Ghooooost animals on June 18, 2015, 02:12:39 pm: I like the new icons, but something about the first one in the row does not agree with Safari, so it takes up most of the width of the screen. I've cleared the browser cache, but it's not gone away yet.

Oh, thanks. I haven't tested in Safari. I can fix that.

Post by: Turtle on June 18, 2015, 09:40:25 pm: It's a little large.

Oh damnit that was just a cache problem. I thought it was a smartass joke.

Chrome/windows 7

Post by: Lemon on June 23, 2015, 11:30:36 am: You mean the little spark icon to the left of the collapse icon? Does it not do anything, or does it do something you didn't want?
Title: I've been making little design tweaks to ballp.it
Post by: Frank West on June 23, 2015, 11:31:54 am: It does nothing, it's not even clickable.

Post by: Lemon on June 23, 2015, 01:06:44 pm: Oh, you're talking about the little indicator spark next to the subforum... I remember taking out that link functionality at one point and turning it into an indicator, I don't quite remember why. Do you remember what the link used to do? I never used it.
Title: I've been making little design tweaks to ballp.it
Post by: Frank West on June 25, 2015, 02:45:35 pm: It used to take you to a page that only showed the posts that had new posts in them. It was kind of nice, but I guess it's not needed.

This is on Firefox, OSX 10.9.5

Post by: Ashto on June 25, 2015, 07:20:08 pm: I'm sure this is somehow a fault on my end, but there doesn't seem to be a "link to newest post" button on mobile.

Android 4.3/Galaxy S3/LastPass browser

Edit: It sometimes does show up, but when clicked on, it jumps to a random page which often than not isn't the last page.
Title: I've been making little design tweaks to ballp.it
Post by: Lemon on June 25, 2015, 10:12:54 pm: The thread view is a table with five cells...

| icon | thread title | reply/view count | last post | skip to last post icon |

That table is way too big for a mobile display, so I hide the last three cells, so the thread view just shows icon & thread title.

If a thread has unread posts in it, next to the thread title you get the "new posts" button (bubble with spark), and tapping that will bring you to the first unread post in that thread.
Title: I've been making little design tweaks to ballp.it
Post by: Ashto on June 26, 2015, 08:56:56 am: The odd thing is that it works exactly as you describe it in the Chrome and AdblockPlus apps, but for some reason it doesn't fully on Lastpass. It takes a refresh or two for the spark bubble to show up, and clicking it links to a part of the discussion I've already read. That being said, I'm gonna go ahead and retract my concern as it only applies to a single browser and is most likely due to it.

It's a nexus 7 tablet, I'll get you the numbers in a couple of hours, but itmt it looks even worse on my phone:

Phone is an HTC One M8, and that site gives it a 360 x 640 resolution which sounds low to me but that's what the site says...

Edit: Tablet (Nexus 7) gives 600x960
