In-line with the plans to eventually redesign the mobile app, will there be/are there plans on optimizing the site to be responsive/transition to html5?

I feel both RWD and html5 would solve a lot of issues the site has (for mobile users moreso), but I understand the caveats that come w/ redesigning a legacy system.


Yes

I've noticed that some pages on the site have a fixed width. Will the forums also be getting that feature? It would be helpful since people have different screen resolutions.


I was under the impression that people wanted variable screen width for the forum. If not we can certainly change the format.
(multiple users replied to this confirming that they do NOT want fixed-width forums.)

It's been a hot minute since the buttons changed on the site but I still haven't gotten use to them.
I think it's just because they still stand out so much.
Will we be getting more modernization of site parts to fit in with that new style? (sooner or later?)


We're working on a header that will resize properly to mobile or tablet, and there will be some stylistic changes to that also. eek The forum mobile pages should also be ready next week. Those pages will look very different when on mobile.

I posted about this already in the pre-thread for this, but I want to make sure it doesn't get overlooked.

When are you finally going to remove the padding from the .linklist element?
This has been an on-going issue for Firefox users for many years now that causes the View Moderators link to be pushed down and behind the subforum list.

Thanks for the report! It should be fixed now.

features: navbar

could you please return the HOME button back to the navbar it was a staple of gaia for so long and then basically one day it was gone. due to old management. many users still miss it and the script for it don't always load leaving us minus the home page nav button. it would be nice to restore that button so it looks like it did years ago when the staff truly cared about the community
you guys also used to have a community button that lead to special announcements. while its not so important to have that one back i would hope that someday gaia considers that too. its where the forum button is now
just hoping to see a little bit more of the old gaia return thats all


We working on a link that will do something similar.

Misc./Glitches

Hi, Gaia Staff!

I don't really have a question, but I finally got around to coming to the ATS to tell you about a glitch, or design flaw, on Gaia's homepage.

You know the new colored buttons you updated the forums and other places with around the website? Well, on the yellow button on Gaia's homepage, there is a big line cutting through it that literally slices the button in half. For a homepage that gives a first impression of a website, that is not a very good thing to have on there. I think it was the yellow "Join" button that has this design flaw. I think I have also spotted the same button problem on the Gifting Page.

Just wanted to let you guys know is all! Keep up the great work! emotion_kirakira


Whoops, that should be an easy fix. I'll look into it later this week. whee

Any chance we can have a 'give gift from inventory' selection in the little user drop-down menu here on the forums?
Right now we do have a quickie gift-gifting option, but it redirects to La Victoire for cash shop presents.

Its the holidays and I love to play Santa so pls ho-ho-hold this suggestion in your festive thoughts. 🎅🎄🎄


That's a really cool feature! I'll look into implementing that, but deadline for Christmas event is pretty close and it might not make it for this event.

Can we get the forums centered like the rest of the site at some point? It's annoying the ever loving hell out of me, and it can't be that hard to add, I don't imagine. gonk

We did at one point, but there was a large amount of negative feedback about it because it broken existing post styles and messed up post formats for others.

is there a reason you didn't even bother beta testing the new header before crapping it out? it's making my computer lag out. i only have 4 gigs of RAM and windows 10, this is NOT helping...


I'm sorry to hear that. We tested the new header with our beta testing team for the past two months without issues. We will look into this for you.

I'm having the same problem. I only have that as well.

like, couldn't they test this stuff out with lower end computers?

and check RAM use when adding new scripting? this should be tested with more than like 3 tabs open.


Hi there,

As far as tabs go, I currently have 19 open in one browser, 5 open in another (I know, I have a tab addiction, don't judge me! smile ) and it hasn't slowed down my machine so I don't think it's number of tabs that is the issue.
Jak Bauer

i have hundreds of tabs open, to keep track of my vends. i use firefox-based browsers.

how much RAM do you have, though? and how many of those tabs are gaia tabs?


Hi there,

All but one of the tabs of the 19 are Gaia and all of them in the other browser are Gaia, and 8 Gigs ram, not an excessive nor small amount these days.

Can we get a click button for runway on the games page?

the only location I've been able to find it in the drop tab, but sometimes it doesn't work well on my mobile. Not a huge priority, but would be awesome. thanks.

Can do. We'll ask for a Runway button for the games page.

Will gaia ever get a night mode?


Probably not across the site, but we can probably look into doing it for the forum areas. Gaia had way too many features built over time, and many were written in different formats throughout the years, so night mode for the whole site would be really difficult.


Lanzer

I was wondering if Forums would ever be updated with a "Dark/Night Mode" option.
It would most definitely modernize the forums more.


We'll look into doing that for the forums. Hard to do it across the whole site though. sweatdrop

I don't suppose anyone has put some thought into adding a "Night Mode" setting to the site?

The old code doesn't support changing of color easily, but we'll look into it and see if we can make it happen

This isn't necessarily a suggestion, but there used to be a Gaia Lab feature that when you did the Konami code, your avatar would shake, drop down, and run off the page.

TBH, I mostly was wondering if this code still existed somewhere because I've since lost it and it would be funny to recreate it.


So basically I had this same question a few months ago, if you had it turned on (from all those ages ago) it still works! But only if you had it turned on from back then!

Would you consider updating the the PM messages system, so that
it doesn't require a drop-down list to navigate? It will also make it easier for touch-screen users.

We can change the UI in PM for better navigation for touchscreen users.

HEY RUCE! About that header... Do we have an eta about when "down the line" is? No rush! Just curious if it will eventually be a thing I can try out again!


Oh yeah, I love the new header, too bad it performed badly on some of the other browsers outside of Chrome. My dream is to move the rest of the Gaia pages to the new framework, then we can have quick loading pages and the header would not need reloading between pages too.

does gaia have a web style guide available to the public?


Not at the moment. We stopped following our outdated one but haven't created a new set. Our new UI designer did come up with some nice design for places like the payment page last week that we'll start to adopt moving forward.

I asked several months ago if we could get an icon for runway on the actual Games page, instead of it just in the drop menu.

The answer was yes. is it still happening?
don't know how complicated it is, but many times on my mobile its hard to get the drop menus to work.
(more of a nudge, 'do you remember' than a question)

would love a tip just to know this was seen.


It fell through the crack as we had more feature requests and bug fixes than anticipated. It'll be there soon!

Modernization look of the overall site? Is the site gonna look like the Gaia App when the mobile friendly version is out?


And yes our goal is to expand the mobile friendly inventory and avatar system as well as the mobile forum into its own app eventually.

Can you remove the ads and cacha from the login page?
I pay for subscription on my main and mule accounts to avoid ads. Now i can't even log in or switch accounts without being bombarded with ads.

Its especially bad on my mobile devices. The ads block me from even seeing the log in section.

We will remove the ad on mobile and for all Gaians who spend GCash.
