Linkshell Section Feedback

[Kylin]

I dulled the icons a bit to better match the background.

 

You may now click on the "all" category to view the next layer there. The font size of the actual guild names will be larger in the final version and the style may change as well.

[Shamadconde]

I still like. What is the scroll bar for?

[Kylin]

What scroll bar? Darn you people and your outdated web browsers! :lol:

[Shamadconde]

The one that moves the word linkshell.

[Hiname]

This scrollbar.

 

*Using Firefox. The newest version!*

[Shamadconde]

Ditto!

[Zhavi]

I found a typo!

 

classication

 

. . .but that's all that I found wrong with it. Love the setup.

[Kylin]

Is it gone now? And why is the font for "Linkshells" showing up as something different for you? /sigh -.-

 

Edit: Blah. Apparently, I have to have embed font in order for everyone to see it properly. And unfortunately, the instructions I'm finding are so crazy annoying so far. Most of you aren't even seeing the main site as it should be seen ; ;

[Hiname]

Its still there for me.

[Shamadconde]

Scrollbar's gone.

[Hiname]

*Ctrl+F5s*

 

Yes, its gone.

Yeah embedding fonts is a pain and it generally causes a lot of load slowdown as well. Best just to stick with standard fonts, or at the most, include the font for download and let people install it if they really have to have fancy letters.

[Kylin]

Moar done!

 

If you click on "all," you should now be able to navigate into the first linkshell listed (a sample linkshell, not an actual one ): my super duper awesome "The Freckled Pixies." Still needs some work. Text size and fonts to be adjusted still. Also want to make it easier to return to the basic info page of the linskhell. I'm also contemplating switching the picture and subsections to the right page instead of the left.

[ArmachiA]

Short people Onry!

[Shamadconde]

Yay! Just for me!

Getting a scroll bar on the guild name "The Freckled Pixies"

 

Not sure if there's supposed to be any stylized font, but there's not one for me (on that page).

[Kylin]

I finally figured out why some of you get those scroll bars when others don't. It's fonts. The titles are using French Script font. But since many of you don't have very many fonts installed on your computer, it's coming up as simple Times New Roman or something like that. Thus, the text size is appearing slightly larger than it should be.

 

I'll look into fixing it so you don't have to have the font installed to see it properly. I may or may not go through with it depending on how much it affects load time though.

[Zhavi]

You know, is it feasible to make some of those names images? Just have the linkshells come up with a banner xx pixels by xx pixels so you dno't have to worry about all the text dealios. I know one of the admins at a pbp I go to did that for the title of the site so he didn't have to do extra work with font shiz.

[Eva]

^ This is how I would handle it as well. :approve:

[Kylin]

Let's see if I did this correctly...For those of you not seeing the proper font, does the font show up differently now for the title ("Linkshells")? If not, refresh the page once first just to be sure.

[Shamadconde]

Pretty font on Linkshells, scroll bar on The Freckled Pixies.

[Aveline]

Font shows up for me, no scrollbar.

[Faust]

Getting the same as Shamad here.

[Kylin]

Ok, I'm getting ready to put the finishing touches on everything soon so be sure to speak up now if you don't like something you see.

 

1. I'm not counting the word "The" when it comes to the alphabetical listings. I'm unsure how significant this one word is for some linkshells so if you're very strongly against this, speak up.

 

2. Are you seeing the titles in the correct fonts? Assuming you are, you should see zero scroll bars (I see none on my screen).

 

3. Any additional feedback? The navigation menus aren't entirely operational yet obviously (clicking the arrows will do nothing).

[Faust]

Hoo boy, I think you're not going to like what I'm seeing. I almost want to just screencap it and email it to you... yeah, give me an email I can contact you at and I'll do that.
