BigHurt3515 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 (edited) Woah that freaked me out the first time I brought up the site. I am sure in a couple weeks this will feel like the new norm. Thank you to everyone that put in the work to make the big upgrade and keeping this site running! Just a heads up when I click on the Futuresox tab up top it doesn't take you anywhere.

Heads22 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I switched it so it doesn't open in a new window, maybe that helps....it's not any coding I'm messing with, its just a menu thingy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's too much white on white, or maybe because each person's post takes up so much of the screen now, but it is not very asthetically pleasing. Are there options to tweak colors/themes from each users end? Or maybe if we had a couple options of different colors? I honestly can't remember what the old site looked like in terms of background colors and whatnot, but this one seems harder to read.

I honestly can't remember what the old site looked like in terms of background colors and whatnot, but this one seems harder to read. Having a user by user customization option isn’t really adviseable from my perspective for a site that is run on good will. Try to keep in mind that the major benefit of the transition over to this new software suite is first and foremost an improvement in functionality. The site now properly works on mobile, it has the ability to easily embed direct YouTube players and tweets from Twitter. There are other cool things like drag and drop attachments, adding multiple users to direct message threads, and many more that you’ll discover with more use. Speaking more directly to your comment about the color choices and overall “feel” of the site - keep in mind that what we’re all seeing is pretty much a base theme that has only undergone a little customization. I’m sure that in the coming days and weeks ahead, we’ll see a lot of changes to the theme which will improve your opinion. one last thing I’ll mention is objectively, the last sites layout was actually complete shit with no possibility to improve upon... it was stuck in the year 2002 and the main reason you like it better is most likely just because you had been using it daily for a long period of time. It was familiar and therefore comfortable for you... whereas this is new. Give it some time and I’m confident it’ll grow on you at the same rate that it itself grows.

I think it's both the excessive white on white color scheme and that the posts are so much bigger, yes.

GreatScott82 Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 The site looks great! Well done guys! Well worth the wait. The site is rebuilt, our team is being rebuilt and I just found out my 2nd baby and future sox fan will be a boy! Life is good. Great Scott! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chitownsportsfan Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 I'm impressed with how the site looked on my 4" iPhone SE, 6" Fire Tablet. That said, there's way too much wasted space on larger screens and resolutions. I had to crank up the font on my 1440p 27" screen as well as on a regular old 1080p 24" screen in order to get the scaling a bit easier on the eyes. Sorry for all the name dropping just wanted to be specific about what I found good and bad on various devices I use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, how’d you do it? The first time I did it I simply copied from giphy and pasted it. I watched it to see if it would post, and it was there until I left the page. When I came back I found the actual copy link on giphy and posted, it formats itself. Haven’t tried drag and drop yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately would like to tweak this one more, but we wanted something simple to get rolling with that looked like a White Sox site. Would also like to ultimately get a couple more themes (a dark one, and a simplified one) but getting up and rolling was the most important part.
