[WEBSITE v2] MusicBee website and forum redesign

[AvikB]

Looks nice!

Thanks.

@ phred
Open Dashboard ==> view all add-ons
in the "Your published add-ons" panel there is a little pencil symbol on a blue tile
you can edit the original post there

Got it! I was ignoring the 'view all add-ons' tab because the way I read it, it would show me -all- add-ons when I only wanted to see mine.
So perhaps changing that to read 'view all your add-ons' would prevent that from happening to others.

Thanks.

Will keep it in mind for the next update.

@hiccup, do you have any edgy font issue? let me know if some fonts does not look good. i am almost done with the next update.

[hiccup]

Thnx, nothing comes to mind, all's looking good here.

New message icon for the next update:

and new message:

This should make it much more clear than before. Hope this will clear any confusion we had regarding bell icon.

That's great!! Thank you.

Checking the test forum, I noticed that under "Users active in past 15 minutes:" the mods user names still have the old, very dark blue colors, not the proposed lighter color, and when creating a PM, there is no color palette for the text available at all.
I don't know if the current test forum exactly represents the forum update you are intending to launch, but I thought to mention this.

It can be changed from admin panel as shown below, i haven't done it since it can be customized anytime, will do it when everything is in place.

Yes the test forum does not fully represent the current forum. But i have changed it now, you should see it. also the color Platte is available when posting new posts too.

Great. I just posted a test message there for the new text colors, and I think they work very well for both themes?

Yes, that looks nice

And will make psycho happy.

This was proposed before, and I remember phred and AvikB agreeing on it, but I can't find it back so I'll just refresh it here:

It would be good to have 'Polls' as a child board under 'General Discussions'.
It's kind of a different beast that would be good to split and give it's dedicated space so the polls do not snow under between all the 'more normal' topics.

Makes sense to me.

I was sure this discussion was a PM, but I can't find it in my inbox. But yes, 'Polls' as a child board would be a great help. Especially if they have no end date. I've made mine sticky, but hiccup didn't do that so his are slowly moving down the pile. They won't get buried if they're in their own child board.

[AvikB]

yes i think this would be a good idea to make it a separate child board. I don't know if steven is back from holiday or not, but you guys should pm him about this. He will be able to do it from forum admin panel.

[hiccup]

done that
