Can we swap the forum and home link/tabs on the main bar? I'm assuming I'm not the only one who's used to swiping all the way to the left and clicking the furthest button to get to the main forum page... but now I'm being directed to the Home Site page and it's a bit jarring...
 
I will vote YAY because for a while it was very annoying
But I have actually trained myself to click the forum button now and not home. So really I dont' care anymore
 
I always click forum. It is not that hard to do. Just memorize the right button? Profit.

I agree with my friend here.
I do worry if they are changed back I will still click on home because I am used to clicking where the forum button is.

A week ago I would have agreed more strongly but now I am used to it. Which means they will be changed just to spite me.
 
I voted yay cause its still annoying as hell.

anyway, i have also gotten used to the new layout. there wasn't really much point in me posting that, because it hasn't helped anyone any, but i thought it was neccessary for me to tell everyone.
 
Once we get new banners the next month or two, we'll make it so that the banners can be clickable, which will lead people directly to the forums.

Sorry for the inconvenience, guys.
 
Home should be the 1st tab...because it makes the most sense in terms of functionality imo. Still, I'm not bothered either way :)
 
No, don't switch it. Cause we will get another thread about switching it back.
Don't feed the trolls
 
Agreed with GreenBeans, all there is to it is getting used to it. It makes more sense to be the way it is. =] once you clicked wrong a few times, you'll be sure to remember it. :wacky: I messed up at first, too.
 
I got some plumbers in last week to move my toilet so I'd stop pissing all over my wall. This is also a serious problem which needs to be fixed.
 
Although some might not see it as it, it's still a legitimate question, guys. Let's not turn it in to mockery. =]
 
@Ewan

You have changed a lot. You turned bitter or something. You are not the same kind of guy that was awesome in COD... :(

Yet you "liked" Kerrigans mockery hoho :tehe:
 
Just because I agree it doesn't mean it's appropriate. :lew: Besides, it's not a spam section. :D

this is good. i've still never properly gotten used to not being able to click the banner. i'm sure i was told by someone on staff that that was impossible to bring back though

Not sure if it was actually impossible. I forgot the details, but when I held the competition, I wasn't specified beforehand that the text had to be on the lower-left and we had to actually include a separate text logo for that - since that's how the skin was designed. Unfortunately it was already too late since the designers already finished the banners and placement of text. But we brought it up to Belazor again a few weeks ago, and we'll definitely make the banners clickable next time. Just have to make sure we have the right details on how to actually design the banner next time (a second text logo placement being the main factor, I think).

And even if we created a small logo or even a transparent rectangle in the size of the preexisting logo, that would only make THAT area clickable, not the whole banner.

If that's still the case, we might have to just create a second transparent logo, but big enough so that it seems the whole banner's clickable. We'll double-check with him soon.
 
With the banner when we first started with, with this new skin, not the all of it was click-able. It had a small section in the bottom left cut out, which had like a small logo going on which was click-able. That could be implemented with the forum link, (if it's still possible). When making banners, we'll just have to make that section stand out a little and make it have something like "Final Fantasy Forums", or just include the name in the actual banner, and have the click-able stop say "Forum". We're just gonna have to see what looks good.

Once we know if it's possible - I'll start messing around in Photoshop making some suggestive ideas for when the banner competition is gonna take place. Not only do we want some guidelines for a professional look, the measurements have to be spot on then as well.

So, like Mitsuki said, if it's possible and we're sure on that, which they're already working on figuring out - we can start cracking on ideas. :D Until then.... Patience is a virtue.
