Lets make the MineRealm forums more appealing!
Posted: Tue Jul 31, 2012 2:42 am
First of all, THIS IS NOT A SUGGESTION (yet) and I am NOT implying that the forums are bad. If anything, you, the reader would be inferring that. This thread is regarding the ergonomics and intuitiveness of the forums. In about a week's time, most of people's suggestions about this will we included in the "Mother of suggestions", so do not take that away from me.
As said before, this regards the ergonomics and intuitiveness of the forums. Personally, I believe that 90% of how everything is set up is perfect. It's just the extra 10% that bothers me (I am a bit of a perfectionist). So below, I want you to post what you think can be improved on the forums, take mine as an example below.
To closely criticise the forums, I believe this is what needs changing:
Fonts. I find the fonts quite 'old'. We need new fonts, but keep them all the same!
User Control Panel. There are far too many 'things' there, and far too many options. Generally, the simpler something is, the better it is.
Members. What happened to the scroll that let you select a letter to display only that certain group starting with that letter. It is not working.
And finally, that tiny thing down the botton corner that lets you resize this text table. Extend it to the right and see what happens. Death happens.
These are many of the tiny details that I find incredible annoying. Don't worry though, it is not reserved exclusively to this. I do this with everything, so there is no intended offence.
