This post (link:
Link back to this forum) got me thinking...
Currently, the main page is organised thusly:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
---|
Game Name | GM: Name | Posts: Post Count with a colour (new public, new private, new public and private) |
Inside a game, you get:
Column 1 | Column 2 |
---|
New Post Image | Thread Title [first/last/new] | Notice and/or Closed Thread image | Thread details on two lines in a smaller font |
Private Messages get something similar:
Column 1 | Column 2 |
---|
Checkbox for bulk handling | Thread Title [first/last/new] | Thread details on three lines in a smaller font |
There is an issue apparently where the "new post image" sometimes does not appear. This can sometimes be a caching issue, which means it's sometimes out of our control.
What I propose is a redundancy, and a usability improvement.
Modify the "inside a game" main page similar to the main RPOL page:
Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
---|
New Post Image | Thread Title [first/last/new] | Notice and/or Closed Thread image | Thread details on two lines in a smaller font | Messages: Msg Count with a colour (new messages) | |
Only thread with new messages would get the red colouring.
Want a QoL improvement? If you can parse the new post and determine if their are private (not secret) lines to the logged in user), colour the message count purple...
(Note there's no room for blue here, because there's no possibility of a new private-only message in the thread.)
Just a suggestion...
