Site Changes
6 years ago
~~~~~~~~/~~~~~/~~~~~~~~ Okay, so.... Like, wtf?
Anyway, cool that FA want's to update their layout and such, but, like, could we have had a warning ahead of time?
This was just a sudden change and idk wth just happened.
And, having extra themes is kinda cool, except, there's a poor drawback:
Aurora, Dark, Retro, and Slate, like, look the freaking same....
Yes, I've tested them; and yes, I know, they're not the same. Aurora was just the better looking dark one....
I feel like they could've done so much better with it overall.
And their menu.... interestingly, is a bit better than the current one. But, was a pain for me to find where the themes were; partly cause I haven't like ever changed it since I first got on this site however long ago.
And they said they had a beta thing going on? When?!?! Never saw anything on that...
Anyway, that all said, I feel that they could really do a much better overhaul with the site. There's a bit too much contrast with with, and physically hurts to look at. And, that's not a "it's only like that for you" moment; it's a physical thing that happens when you look at both dark and light colors next to each other simultaneously, and they're competing to the point that your iris is having issues trying to compensate for the differences. The darks and shadows become black, while the lights become white.
I may play around with it, but, I feel that the way they set everything up, the contrast settings on the darker themes, are there to force people into using the lighter setting, which defeats the purpose of being able to see everything better on the darker themes.
Plus, mobile devices live better on darker themes. Not many people want to open their phones and stare into the light of God, just because they want to check a notification.
Well, hopefully, they'll keep an eye on ideas and such, so they can fix the issues that pop up.
I knew the site needed refinement, but, idk, maybe that was a bit too much? Eh, I'll figure out how it feels later.
