GAME SUGGESTIONS: New UI Design - Pet Peeves? Started by: Squishy on Dec 29, '09 11:57

We have finally embarked on our quest to get the site a new facelift.  From a usability standpoint, what are your pet peeves about our current setup? (Lets save the mobile phone issues for another thread please)

Any ideas on what would make it better?  Easier?  Quicker?  Friendlier? 

Report Post Tip

my pet peev has always been (and i know i have banged on about it before) the colour, if there was even one more tone difference between the greys it would help my eyes, i know this hasnt been the most popular suggestion in the past tho so i wont count my chickens.

Report Post Tip

My pet peeve is people who want to change my greys.

That gets on my tits aswell Kates, To be honest i don't think the site needs a makeover at all.

Report Post Tip

I personally like the site the way it is. The grey has kind of grown on me and without it well It wouldn't be the same. But if you insist on changing things then.. im not sure how many of you play .org (i don't anymore but used to) well something like that where we can pick the colour that suits us.

And in that option just have the oirginal colours aswell for those who prefer the original.

Only thing that grinds me is the profiles having too much.


Referral Link:
Start Date: 10/27 21:49

Those 3 I really don't think they serve much purpose :\ Just rather annoying.

Referral link could be moved to Referral tab.

My email is blank so.... :\ yeah.

Start date..really?

And the actual profile screen (I'll just leave all of this as none of it is uber sensitive :P)

It's just little things that grind my gears.

Along with some of the tabbings.

Mafia Tribune is pretty much dead in the water. Get rid of it.

Put Referrals and The survey in their own tab. (Or hell even Help)

Invert 60 sec list colours :D

Start date has to be shown so we know when IAs turn. That has to be on the profiles otherwise we would never know when to shoot someone. :)

I agree the profiles need some work. To much stuff on there that isn't needed.

Also the Online time that everyone can see on their own profile needs to be deleted at some point. Some of those characters are long gone and it makes the page really long.

Once again I say get rid of that X its really not used and if it is it should be made a optional to have shown.

Note: Start date in the profile Tab not on the profile itself.

Extra buttons in the dropdowns have got to be my biggest pet peeve. Info: Mafia Tribune, just remove it. All of these are redundant with other links: Manage - Bank, Airport; Comm - Mail. IRC Options: merge it with the rest of the options. Merge the Chat tab itself into Comm.

Actually, speaking of the Comm tab, having just a separate button for "forums" which leads to a tree of all the subsections would be really nice and would remove a lot of clutter. The forum "rules of order" could be linked in the headers on them instead of stickied as threads in the forums themselves. Sections for In Character, Out Of Character, Help, and Announcements, with associated forums put under the appropriate sections would be awesome, and would consolidate about 6 different dropdowns and make it look a lot sleeker and easier to tackle.

Report Post Tip

Ahh, yeah, I got into my "forum main page" thing so much I forgot to second Pennybags' statement on the infamous X tab. A settings in the Options menu to get rid of it for those of us who don't worry about bosses would be quite nice.

Report Post Tip

The Petty and Felony crime buttons are different. I think having them both like the Petty will save some of us normal MR players from clicking the bottom Felony and getting screwed over a few Benjamen's.

Report Post Tip

Or better yet, an option to invert the Felony list so like that we can have bank at the bottom for proper zombie clicking.

Don't change zee felony button. It is my love :(

Report Post Tip

Aesthetically, I think the site is pretty much fine the way it is (except for very minor things, which seems to be the majority o

I would rather see the admin team use their time to fix some of the bugs posted in the other thread, which are impacting actual gameplay.

Report Post Tip

There's really only one thing I can't think of right now, I hate how it takes a second or two (I'm being realistic amazing ain't it?) for the upper bar tabs to close. They always get in the way of petties, felonies & especially banking.

Report Post Tip

Second Risque's suggestion.

Also, the mail link is located in a spot that links to DL before showing up. Make it so that if I click while the inbox link is not avail. yet, it doesn't do anything, instead of taking me to my personals when I'm trying to go to my inbox.

Report Post Tip

I am going to have to agree with risque infact, other than that i don't think anything should be changed.

Report Post Tip

remove the god awful x -boss screen tab

Report Post Tip

Keep it just the way it is.
I'm a throwback, and even the addition of colors somewhat peeves me a bit.

Report Post Tip

I am majorly keen on options to change text colour and background. Whilst some may think it is just for aesthetic reasons it is not and I give this link up for reasons and examples (whilst not the best in referencing what it says is very true but it is also a bit patronising to web designers!).  http://www.dyslexia-parent.com/mag35.html

I believe the link also offers free to use code for programmers.

As well as changing colours of texts and backgrounds it would also be great if I could choose from a small list of default texts. 

The grey's are better than white, but then when it comes down to it still not great for me - everything else on my computer is default blue and purple.
