No Thanks Suggestions for KH-Vids 7.0

Here you can input any suggestions you may have.

I've got some already.

General:

I know these are preference things, but it can't hurt to suggest.

1. Having the date as numerical was already shot down, but maybe at least make it a full date instead of abbreviating (e.g., September 11, 2012 instead of Sep. 11, 2012)?
2. Change the activity from detailed to Today / Yesterday. E.g.,: instead of A moment ago, 14 minutes ago, Tuesday at 6:00 PM, etc., have it be Today at 6:00 PM, Yesterday at 6:00 PM, September 11, 2012 at 6:00 PM, etc. (Basically, what vBulletin had if possible.)
3. Move the date and time stamp of a post above the username.
4. Move the post number link to the top right.
5. Change all instances of the phrases "Discussions" and "Discussion" to "Threads" and "Thread."
6. Change all instances of the phrases "Messages" and "Message" to "Posts" and "Post."
   - Llave had originally suggested #5 and #6.
7. Add the time to the footer like on vBulletin if possible.

For the second, it sort of already works this way, but only after an hour has passed. Until an hour has passed, you will see, for example, Viewing forum list, 59 minutes ago instead of Viewing forum list, Today at 6:00 PM. Then it will be yesterday, then the day, and when a week has passed, the time disappears and it just says, for example, User was last seen: Sep. 11, 2012.

Member Popup

1. Center the info
2. Move Likes Received down to the next line so it's together with the number of likes received
3. Move the activity name down below User was last seen: to try and keep as much of the activity name together instead of part of it being on a new line as well as the time (A moment ago, etc.)

This is, of course, assuming these can be done.

Anyway, feel free to input suggestions you guys may have.

 

I've updated the OP with some more suggestions

To clarify here, XenForo calls it relative timestamps.

 

Regarding the member card suggestion, I found a thread from an early version of XenForo where they had member card info positioned differently, and I seem to like it better than the current member card layout and partly better than my previous suggestion regarding it.

Edit - 6:51 PM PDT: Or maybe something like the new one back then because the old one had line break problems or something, but keep "last seen" where it is currently.

Okay, so . . . A lot of these just look like you're trying to convert XenForo back to vBulletin . . . and not the easy way.

3 & 4 would take some in depth coding. Not only CSS but HTML as well. You'd have to either create a custom class for a container to withhold the information you'll be moving or I suppose you could use the same class for the container they're in and add an extra line of HTML. You'd have to locate and move the information from the correct templates. That's an awful lot of work for an itty bitty issue.

1 & 2 I have no idea how difficult that would be.

I actually like 5 & 6, but I'm kinda used to the new terms. It would probably be just as difficult as 3 & 4, maybe. I really don't know. But these are pre-defined terms set by XenForo so I'd say they'd be difficult to alter.

As for 7, I don't think XenForo even has a clock. At least not one like vBulletin.

Now on to the Member Card "Issues"

1 I don't see being a problem. I think it would look off if the info was centered because of the clutter.

2 I agree, it's slightly annoying.

3 really doesn't matter to me personally. There'd be no way of stopping it from going to a new line. Even if it was pushed down below 'user was last seen' if the title's long it would take another line anyway.

Some of these are pretty good ideas, but a lot just look like a trip back to vB.

Anyway, on to a suggestion . . .

I suggest adding this code to the member_view.css template under the class .profilePage .profileContent

Code:

margin-right: @profilePageTabInset;
 
or
 
margin-right: 20px;

Both do the same thing and that's just adding a margin for the right of everything under your profile tabs. So that would be status update box, and profile posts.

Here's a preview.



If you would compare, you'll notice the difference between this screenshot and a normal view of the profile page. Not a big issue, just consistency.

 

Well, it wasn't intentional. :x

I know I said "like on vBulletin" and such, but I wasn't trying to convert XenForo into vBulletin, I was just making suggestions I came up with.
