Rules

[doghead]

I can't find a link to the site rules.

Is it on the Main page, in an obvious location(and I'm over-looking it?)

Look left/above the big yellow banner at the top

 

[doghead]

I don't see it.

 

[papabear]

I don't see it.

Hmm, I don't see one either! I even clicked on each item on the header to see if it was part of one of the "sections"...didn't see it.

I have been asking for the same- I mean ALL the updated rules - as we had to read them first, after the upgrade. The reply was that every few months everyone will have to go through them, again...

I really would like to have a link, to re-read anything-anytime, and/or to be able to refer others to them.

I think there should a very obvious link(button) on the main page in the menu bar.

I would love to eliminate that dang yellow political banner! THAT is irritating. It is in the rules so why flaunt it all the time.

I agree. The yellow banner is very distracting(not necessarily making it more effective). I mentally ignore it, like I do the GL ads.

I dislike the need to scroll up past it, to see what forum a thread is posted in.

Maybe it could be minimized a bit, at least in height?

Or maybe the forum listing could be below the yellow box?

The old "rules" page is gone (another dead add-on that's not coming back, wasn't ported to vB 4.2)

It's stuck in the site news forum. This is the thread that people have to read when we trigger them to.

I added it back to the menu bar as well.

As for the notice, that's Chris' doings, not mine.

 

[doghead]

Thank you, thank you very much...

 

[doghead]

Could this,
Forum
Command Post
Website Help
Rules
be moved under the yellow banner?

edit: (Testing edit issue from IE for Doghead)

 

[patracy]

No, that's the navigation tree for the forum.

The yellow banner thing used to be a double yellow banner at first, and with the early colors and background, I got a headache within 5 minutes of coming on this site. Things are much better now, and it is only a single banner, where the colors and background are far superior to the original conversion package. A work in progress, I guess we could say. For a week or two there, I lost my addiction due to the color schemes, but everything is well and good now, EXCEPT for that annoying yellow banner.

Like I said, the message is one that Chris posted. I'm not sure if he wants it removed, maybe you could convince him to make it a dismissible notice?

 

[3dAngus]

I understand Andrew. No problem. I support the "No politics" philosophy wholly.

Not suggesting it be removed. That's a judgement call by Admin. Just that the yellow background is like a bright neon light and it might be a bit less offensive, physically, on the eyes.
It does appear to be less bright then originally, but still awkwardly bright in relationship to the rest of the site.

 

[Robo McDuff]

maybe make the two last sentences into one with .... in between. Would make it a bit less high at least

 

[patracy]

Again, that's something that Chris posted, I will PM him and ask his thoughts.

 

[rickf]

Is the upgrade complaint page still open? That is actually my complaint. Things are always moving. I loved the new posts thing but it is confusing, sometimes there are three pages going back a couple days and other times there are 10 posts only going back an hour. I KNOW there are more new posts than that. I find myself on here a lot less than I used to be because I just cannot get acclimated to it. Nothing stays the same for two days and I can't find anything. Since My tastes cover the whole gamut of forums I can't just go to the forums and pick just one.

Yes it's still open.

The new threads button displays new threads since your last login/viewed. So it will fluctuate like that. Today's posts might be a better option for you.

Chris gave me the green light to slim his notice a bit. So I've done what I can with it. I believe he still wants it to remain posted though.
