New Profile Look - Poll

[EpicNPC]

Please vote on whether or not you like the new horizontal profile setup.

 

[rektonjaa]

Bring back the white theme. Why did you pull it off

 

[EpicNPC]

I'm assuming you're talking about the default Vbulletin theme. That was removed years ago. Sorry, but it's never coming back.

 

[Asloversrust]

Horizontal looks much sharper IMO!

 

[-r00t-]

New Profile look is much better but, it would be good to have the online and private message symbol next to our name.

 

[EpicNPC]

Thank you everyone for your input.

We're first going to try to make some adjustments.

1. Online/offline indicator will be moved up to the right side of the username as AAX suggested.
2. Feedback will be moved from the right side to the left.
3. Combine normal feedback and other feedback on the same row, 1 line instead of 2 lines.

We'll make an update, then we'll take another vote tomorrow.

VERY good! I like it!

Edit: excluding one thing. I would like it more with a post count actually.

 

[The Integrity]

I still think it looks awful.

 

[cl0det]

agreed

I still think it looks awful.

 

[Little Light]

The new version looks good on mobile devices, but on the desktop everything is much worse.

It seems to me that the first post of thread may well look this way, but the subsequent posts in the thread are better left in the old style.

In general, the old version I liked more.

 

[Vytka]

I prefer the old one much better, where's the post count??

 

[EpicBoost]

i think the feedback should move to left side aswell then on the right side we can think of something nice to fill in on the right

edit: just read the updates

 

[Logisticz]

I was a huge fan of the previous version.

 

[LazyPeonFactory]

Refreshed the page so many times hoping its just some bug. Last theme so so much better, almost perfect, no need to change it and vote counts says it all.

 

[EpicNPC]

Version 1.1 is now live. We moved the feedback to the left side and rearranged things so all important information is displayed on the same side. Only the contact icons are on the right side now.

Post count, country, join date and more are all in the hover box.

I think this version is better and addresses some of the concerns posted above. Please let me know what you think of this update.

 

[D3BOOST.com]

I am really trying my best to find some positives...but it looks just as bad or worse, sorry.

 

[slyre]

Why did the join date get removed? That's a huge deal for me actually.

Also the hover over box doesn't work in private messages, HUGE deal for me!

Please consider adding/fixing that, thanks!

What about we just get the old one back? Or you could add the option to switch from the old and the new one..

 

[MistiServices]

Votes telling all , this is even with change its even worse.Please give back old look.

 

[EpicBoost]

maybe make the front size smaller by 1 size under that one?

 

[ARMIK]

Voted against it. Also new font size for the usernames is enormous, not sure why it was changed too. I first thought my page was zoomed in by 120% =)

 

[Tuiiut]

No please.

 

[doomedtofail]

I just looked at this thread on my iphone, say 6 inch screen and in safari, everything is still far apart but not as bad. My all in one and my main computer information looks like its a mile apart. I checked with my girlfriend to make sure she did not spike my coffee when I first saw the change.

 

[Sremke]

My personal opinion, very bad.

Been here for few years now, the best profile EpicNPC EVER had was the original vertical one, with account upgrades listed as icons with text on them. I know this is old subject and we already talked alot about it in the past, but it just had the best transparency and best visual impact when someone was looking at ur profile/thread

They could easily see and read the account upgrades and all info was there in one spot. Instead of changing all that (i know it was because the accounts upgrades icons took too much space when u could have 5-6) u could just lower the icons cause the text is still readable - see OCs layout

Im talking about the style that OC and EPVP are still using, it seems the best, im pretty sure all older users know what im talking about but i`ll attach for comparison 2 screenshots of both layouts so everybody can understand what i mean.

And when u do that, take a look at the "dead" space aswell, u`ll see its all more compact on OC for example.

So as a conclusion, thats what id consider :

- bringing back the old vertical layout
- making account upgrades icons smaller (for the old vertical layout)
- keeping all info in one spot (with or without floating text on mouse hover)
- moving the threads filter somewhere else

Doing that u`ll have a more compact layout, easy to read and looking awesome :

this is how I missed it

 

[idle]

Its good with the hover thingy. I like it!

 

[ARMIK]

Weird, i've tried to replicate it, but can't seem to do so. Well anyways, I hope this changes back to how it was before.


EDIT: Nevermind, managed to repliacte it in another thread. =)

I think you're absolutely right

 

[gal_sorin_bobby]

Its looking horrible , pls change it back as it was , its very very not clean , eighter do it back as it was or change with some other ideeas , but this is one just horrible , my opinion and some couple of friends of mine think the same , thak you , all respect galsorinbobby

 

[Oppai]

definitely preferred the old version but i think i could get use to it, idk...

 

[EpicNPC]

The font sizes will be fixed soon and there's a few other minor issues that need to be fixed as well.

We're going to keep the horizontal look for the full month of December to let it grow on people and during this time we will continue to try to improve the look. At the end of Dec we'll have another poll to determine whether or not to keep the horizontal profile or go back to vertical. If we get a similiar poll result, we'll switch back.

So u are ignoring those results now we gave u?Why giving us a poll and decide to ignore it like it never happend..Noone here wants that , even on poll there is 19% ppl who like it for real..

 

[EpicNPC]

As stated, we are still fixing a few issues with the look and we also plan to try some other adjustments over the next month to try to improve the overall look.

If after a month the vote remains the same, we'll revert back.

Sometimes it takes a few days to get used to a new design and v1.1 has been up for less than 24 hrs, so please give it some time. We still have some design flaws to fix, so it's not even fully done yet.

All I'm asking from the community is for some time for us to optimize the look and to fix all flaws. If after one month the new look still hasn't grown on members, we'll change back.

Also, 33% said they liked it better, not 19%. Of those 33%, 14% said it needs some work which is what we're trying to do.

[gal_sorin_bobby]

Its not about the issues , its about the look and the apparence , when u look at it u don`t undertand nothing , and when u look at post same result , the visual effect is just horrible , it can be any worse then this , belive me , its all about the look ... and the upgrade titles u don`t even see them now , they are so small and insignicative , pls do someting about it , don`t let this anymore days/months , it will only make people more mad and angry. all respect galsorinbobby

 

[Novun]

The upgrades are getting more and more insignificant visually. It might be harder for new members to tell what's important.

 

[EpicNPC]

Due to demand, we have decided to revert back to the vertical profile.

However we will be making an update to incorporate the hover box from the horizontal style and will be removing Join Date, Country, Post count and multiple accounts to the hover box.

If you notice any bugs, please post here.

Good decision , thanks for hearing us!

A small suggestion would be to make that info always visible for the first post in a thread, and hover on all the other posts.

The first post is usually a buy/sell offer and that info should be clearly visible. The first post is most of the time also long enough so no space will get wasted.

 

[gal_sorin_bobby]

much appricieted , its oki if u wanna make changes , just be sure its better changes , for the moment as it is is pretty perfect , but we are always open for changes in the future , specialy if the changes make it look more better , again much appricieted that you keep interest of the community opinion , all respect galsorinbobby

 

[stree]

Looks nice right now. Very clean and easy. Stay on this please
