Kidding as usual. Actually, it's Sunday and I have some spare time on my hands so I thought I would write up some points I think need changing with the new layoot and I invite 你 to CONSTRUCTIVELY make your points in the comments. My idea behind this is to have a collection of concerns that we can 显示 the F4. This way instead of ranting and going "OMG I HATE DIS!" we can make ourselves heard. I know the F4 are awesome and have listened to us in the past. Remember the 墙 debacle? Remember how they changed the layoot after we pointed it oot? Remember how they brought back the forums?
EXACTLY! So let us have all criticism in one place and then I will send them a link and maybe they have time to read our thoughts.
All in all I think we need to remember that 潮流粉丝俱乐部 is a business. Some of the changes made are sometimes business descisions: I remember how I hated the "popular content" module and then papa explained how it helped the 搜索 Engine Optimization and now I just ignore it, knowing it is keeping 潮流粉丝俱乐部 busy and alive!
1) The black swoosh of doom.
As I have 说 earlier I think it's badly executed (Sorry to whoever made it) and doesn't actually add to the site 设计 so I think this can be removed.
2) Color Coding on 测验
I liked the way the 测试 results were color coded in green and red for an "at a glance" view of correct vs incorrect.
3) Making an "add content" button that is the same on all content
Right now we have an "add video/image" feature ONLY on the first page of videos, pictures etc
I think it would be better to have that option in the blue bar on the video/image itself when having chosen one. If I am looking at a video and want to add my own I have to navigate back to the video page- 或者 am I missing something?
4) Shades of Grey
I find that all the grey tabs are not really helping me to distinguish between the different features. There is a lot of information on a page and I do like the new graphics (flame for what's hot, a wall, the little camera) but I feel there is too many gray buttons that I can't really sort when looking at a page. Possibly a compromise would be to keep the grey buttons but make the symbol a certain color.
Also all text is now in grey and it makes it harder to read (I think anyway) It's a dark grey on a light grey 或者 grey on white. I would make it darker 或者 just plain black which has served as a good color for text for many years now. It would stand oot 更多 and increase readability.
5) Smaller 图标 for spots/profiles
Right now the 图标 is cutting off the "y" of the 最佳, 返回页首 line asking "What are 你 a 粉丝 of?" AND IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS. Either the 图标 needs to be smaller (why is it larger than the banner?)or the 最佳, 返回页首 潮流粉丝俱乐部 logo needs to be higher. The 图标 is now also cutting into the two lower "home" and "wall" buttons and it just looks....weird!? It's just a small thing ..or rather NOT small enough..but I see it every.time.I.look.at.a.page! MAKE IT STOP!
6) "Get to know this user" option
I see how a lot of 个人资料 information seems busy and cluttered but maybe the 个人资料 information could come back but be hidden behind a "find oot more" link. This would possibly open up an additional section of the information window and tell 你 aboot likes/dislikes/hobbies/movies etc like we had before.
7) Customization
So many people have been asking for blinking shit and myspacey 音乐 playing on their profile...I will not go there. But I do see how the new 个人资料 could be easily customized with a 最佳, 返回页首 picture in the banner and possibly the option to change colors?
The four "caps,medals,fans,props" buttons could be smaller and 移动 to the 个人资料 box. This way a customized banner could be added.
So, my lovelies, write your opinions and ideas in the 评论 below and rest assured that the F4 are known to be awesome!
P.S. Why won't the image go where I tell it to go?
