How do you like the new forum? New tricks for posting?

[Burnham]

Thanks, Tim. I'm gonna have to experiment. But I have to say, it sure isn't intuitive to me, which seems like website design in need of some improvement. Like Butch, I'm just a dog watching television .

I love that I can start writing a post or reply, get distracted by something and end up on a different site, then whenever I come back to the thread, whatever I wrote is still there waiting to be finished or posted.

I can do that other stuff - I just don't know WTF a favicon is!

Sounds like a member of the “transformers”

:^P

I think the problem may be that it's a paradigm that's assumed everyone knows. Not everyone lives on the internet, so more assumptions are made when designing the interface. It's simple, but it's hidden, so harder to learn.

For those that don't have the new icon, but want it, go here and refresh the page...

That should update the favicon in your cache. If your browser has a light theme, you may not be able to see it. This is what it looks like on my browser. I use dark themes for everything...

I have it but I agree...it is white on gray tab here...so it is hard to see. BLUE is the color that the human eye perceives most easily...grabs out attention best. But then orange is a popular color for chainsaws....Husky...Stihl...maybe we need an orange favicon.

I've always heard green, being center spectrum, was most visible. That's why night vision is in green, having the most discernible shades, and green laser pointers appear bright at much lower powers than blue.

Blue does have a way of popping out though.

Oh god dammit that was short-sighted of me, I have a dark theme so that was my first instinct was to use a white icon. I’ll remake it with some color.

Brandon: Yer a good man.

Corey: I'm freaking right out right now. Is Butch still here!? Can I still manke the ... oh... wow... this is blowing my pea-sized cranium away. Love you guys. Are we all gonna be o.k.?

 

[Fiddler]

Brandon, It's all good....like the new forum, the new invisicon is growing on me...

 

[Jed]

Gents: I'm freaking right out, right now.

 

[MasterBlaster]

Don't freak, bro... I'm still here!

 

[Tree09]

It's good Jed, you will like it in time!

 

[MasterBlaster]

2 weeks from now and you won't be able to visualize the old forum!

I think you are right...now I'll have to re-check my self. They are right next to each other in the light spectrum...it's one of them anyway.

Be nice if we had that option. No big deal but the only other forum I go to has one and coming from there to here is a bit bright at first.

 

[Bermy]

I'm just sitting back like watching all you lot @ and favicon away....pull up a deck chair Burnham and join me LOL

 

[Tree09]

I'm with you Fiona, dog watching tv.

A little detail, can't we get reed of the cookie's window when opening the forum?
Just one click, but it gets under my skin, like the privacy shit of Imgur.

I just mean that my browser itself is dark. I still use the Green theme on this site.
