NEW and Pretty: Minor Visual Changes :)

Postby Dana-Levitas »

It's always pleasant and pleasantly surprising to see the place you've visited many times spark-up and shine a little brighter :)

Lately, more than a few nice little visual changes have been made to make Colnect easier on the eyes and even put a smile on your face sometimes :D

These little gems include:

An elegant new pop-up language menu

Nicer flowing hover over color movement over lists (try it out! hover over a list)

Rounded Buttons

Red flashing warning sign on alert boxes

Enlarged writing in some pages, for comfort, and many more changes.

:idea: :arrow: Go look for them now, let's see if you could find some more :twisted: 8)

We also did not forget all those who browse Colnect while non logged in. There are many new flashing, popping, changing, surprising little hidden boxes for non-logged-in visitors. Go ahead, log out and browse around and see what happens! then log back in and tell us what you've found :wink:

I personally believe while the glowy effect seems good in principle, after a while it can actually become a monotonous nuisance/distraction.

Do you mean the warning sign on deactivated members profiles?

All this bling may be fine to say a junior member, but do we really need all this flashing eye candy to prove a point.

Seems a little too over the top to me, at this rate we will be seen in outer space, Hmmm I wonder... :roll:

I agree with Jim and Nigel.

Actually I like colours, but regarding websites they should be used wisely so that they are not eye-catching. As Colnect has much content the content should be where the users should and will focus on. An "eye-catching" format is good to attract new users. But for daily users it rather becomes distracting.

To be honest, I even recognize this in your forum posts, Dana. The colours and letter sizes change within a sentence which makes it a bit harder to read the message.

I can make my messages less colorful, that's easy :P

But which specific changes do you think are distracting / uncomfortable?

Please be specific about which changes seem too flashy for you. The only thing with a glowing effect for logged in members is a deactivated member's account warning and that is very important to notice.

You're right. Sometimes I change something in one place and cannot always check all the other pages it affects.

This alert was planned to be removed after you click the big X but re-thinking about it, I'll add the explanation to it with a question mark near the title. When you see it has changed, let me know what you think.

The same goes for negative ratings list. Any other places?

404 and errors should flash in my opinion. Making sure you understand it's an alert.
