WHO FORGOT THIS SITE EXISTED?

Posted 1 year ago

I CERTAINLY DID.

Shit. '___`;

Why must the colors of this site be so heinous, as well as the logo?

I GUESS FA'S LOVE OF AESTHETICS OVER FUNCTIONALITY SPOILED ME.

    Only here for my boss, and since he's busy, why bother? It's pretty much the same submission from the same people. XD

    HAHAHA...FA is a sadist to design.

      Personally, I find its colors and rotating banner to be appealing.

      It does have a lot of faults beyond that in design, though.

      FOR EXAMPLE, THE FOLLOWING LEADS TO FUNTIMES ON FA:


      ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff

        True! Looking for art on FA is kind of like a masochistic version of marco polo...some people like that!

        But, yeah, like the other guy said, you can change the layout by clicking the -thing on the menu.

          I guess since I don't search out the yiffy stiffies on FA, that pain is something I've yet to experience -- I really only use the inbox, private messages, and control panel links, which are thankfully not buried. :V

          And yeah, did that. I'm still hating on the logo and top colors, but can't have everything! YET.

            Well, alright...what would you change? Your input will make a better FAP for everyone.

              I HAD SHIT TYPED UP.

              Then I hit tab and enter. That simple html link needs to move, seriously. It's in an extremely user unfriendly location as nearly every other site has 'post' or 'preview' one tab away, and once you accidentally hit it instead of at least a popup, you're routed to another page and you've lost your text. '___`

              Since my pretty paragraph is gone, short version. Blue looks like default hyperlink blue, the logo resembles the Comic Sans MS font, resulting in, imo, an amateurish appearance. Not everything needs to be a shiny punch in the face from the future, though, and considering how new the site is its looking somewhat rough is no surprise; it's nice that more attention is being paid to features and functionality rather than aesthetics.

                1. Fixed the tab-comment thing. Sorry about that :x
                2. The logo does suck. I had something that look more hand drawn, but that didn't look right for some reason, so I kept it the same.
                3. Just read your other comment in your blog...the "light" layout is kinda sucky too. I'll make it suck less, I promise.
                4. I agree! Not everything needs to be crazy Web2.0 drop shadow reflection gradient. The original redesign EVERYTHING had gradient backgrounds. It. Was. A disaster. So I made everything below the menu solid instead.
                5. If you have any other suggestions, I'll totally implement them.
                Thank you!

    The little square icon in the 'toolbar' on the far right swaps color modes

    If you can't find it, here's a direct link to it.

    Uh. I have the site bookmarked under a folder of bookmarks I check when bored and outta habit.

    Also, Nobu said some time back (appx 1 month) that my friends felt betrayed by me. I mean. Uh.

    My former friends felt betrayed by me.

    I guess so much so that those who do fell that way also figure that addressing this directly with me is a waste of time. :(

      Thanks for pointing that out -- I had thought it just a magic diamond. Looks far less muddied, though the logo is still.. '____'

      Yeah, I have it bookmarked and pinned. Since the people that I am watching are not very active though, I tend to forget to check back. Too bad since these site has neato features.

      Betrayed? That is news to me. Then again, I'm generally out of the loop, so... '___`;; Not sure what that's about.

        Yay for darker colors that are at least easier on the eyes.

        And ok!

          I like mes my light colors, actually. Even on my BRIGIIGHGHT monitors, the dark scheme feels like it's a gateway to BLACK HELL.
