Thread indicators updated

[EpicNPC]

The thread indicator column has been removed and replaced with new icons that display next to the "views" and "replies" column.

= indicates the thread has a new reply

= indicates you have replied to this thread

Closed threads will appear darkened, however we will also be adding a lock icon soon to make it more obvious.

Since implementing this change, I noticed for forums that do not display the feedback column look a little weird because there's nothing there. It just looks empty. So for those forums, we will instead display member avatar images to make those forums look a bit nicer. That will be added soon.

Maybe put thread creator name in Thread indicator column? Just put the name in front and leave the date where it is. Would be much cleaner.

Move the username and time stamp to the left side of the title or to where the new thread indicator icons are?

I don't think either location would work well. Some members have long usernames, so those areas would become too large.

I'm not sure that info has to be moved, it looks okay to me the way it is.

 

[ELKIDO]

To the left side of the title, yes. For example username goes first and time stamp below it.
If above option isnt possible than at least make user names stick at certain location. Right now thread title length dictates where user name gonna be. See how messy it is here. https://imgur.com/a/e4Q0R

Now check here https://imgur.com/a/BxBAf All usernames at same location. Dont know if this is something you can fix.

Main thing i would find this useful is because of moderating. Way easier to see thread creator than when its all messed up.

Ah, always forget to check small size screens.

We'll have that fixed soon. Thanks

Seems like threads that automaticly closed after 4 weeks don't have the black background thingie, its a bit confusing imo. But that could just be me.

 

[EpicNPC]

Maybe your monitor is too dark? Closed threads appear darker for me. Can you post a screenshot?

All the threads are very old for example and are all automaticly closed after 4 weeks (because of the system) but they aren't "darkened" out. And then the one closed thread also isnt darkened out even though its manually put to "sold".

 

[EpicNPC]

Thanks. We'll get that fixed asap.

I see the sold one darkened out (the one at the buttom of the list) but indeed it is the only one in that ss which appears to be closed and with the lock icon on it.

As for the other one, "sold" doesnt necessarly mean "closed" aswell, at least thats how it used to be.A thread could be marked as sold and still not closed, if the user didnt mark it as closed aswell.

When I go to that closed that that isn't darked out and doesn't have a lock on it, it only shows me the option to open it and not to close it, therefore I think its a bug.

Even if that wasn't the case, the thread hasn't been bumped, nor had any activity in the last 4 weeks just like every other thread on that screenshot, and none of them show the lock, nor are "darkened" out.

Closed/sold is basically the same thing. It's just a bug, but it should be easy to fix. We'll try to get it fixed asap.

Closed threads no longer appear dark. Only the icon will appear.
