TracyIsland Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Given the displays in a lot of Pinterest and Tumblr, I think the layfolk public will be very accustomed to the display. I would recommend you consider this as the default display in your settings. - Brian

Alexander V Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I like most of it - but what I dont like is that the "blocks" arent the same size. I think it would look quite a lot better if by some magic they would be resized to the same height. I'd also like a bit less gray space (but thats my personal cavaet with IPB4 - I feel a lot of space is empty, dull) and it would be amazing if there'd be an option to give the blocks a custom background - like a collage of forums maybe with a glassy effect. Just thinking.
craigf136 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I was just going to say "noooooooooooooooooooo" - I'm a traditionalist and prefer the list view versus grid view.Time to change the setting :)
Stenis Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 ...is looking great ! Looks very modern Totally agree!
Shariq Ansari Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 In my opinion, blocks like these would make more sense for the blog homepage/index - is it an option there as well?I think it'd be a great way to differentiate between forums (in traditional list view, which I prefer for forums), and blogs (in the new layout currently being used on forums)
MMXII Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I find it very interesting. I have no real opinion on it yet, as it looks very unfamiliar right now and I don't judge anything by a first impression. Variety can't be bad though and I definetly like that you are going new ways and try new things!
steve00 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Before anyone has a complete meltdown: it's optional and a setting.phew ... got worried when see the new layout .... think would take a long while to get used to it with the new layout

Rikki Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 This kind of thing is what theme settings are perfect for. Something we don't want to bake into the software, but which individual themes can design and run with. I'm excited to see what the designers use them for - hopefully some new, interesting ways of showing content
Mur Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Before anyone has a complete meltdown: it's optional and a setting.And where might this setting be found?
bigPaws Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I assume this isn't the final look for mobile? Spacing looks a bit odd?

Feneroin Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I assume this isn't the final look for mobile? Spacing looks a bit odd? don't like on mobile...
bigPaws Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I think it's not the intended look, they tend to push changes out for desktop first I've found and then sort out the mobile issues :)
craigf136 Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 I think it's not the intended look, they tend to push changes out for desktop first I've found and then sort out the mobile issues With the whole suite being responsive, I would expect they would want this to look good before going to full release, it looks awful on mobile and in my opinion on pc as well (just not a fan of grid view).
Mur Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Before anyone has a complete meltdown: it's optional and a setting.http://codepen.io/btflynn/pen/VYmPZM Something for you guys to consider to match all of the forum boards height in a grid layout. Just figured I'd leave it here it case it has some use.
We are Borg Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Before anyone has a complete meltdown: it's optional and a setting.Looks modern that is for sure but here it comes cosmetically it could be done better. The blocks are same high-ed that's a good thing but the section should have been done the same to so that the separator line is always on the same hight that creates uniformity in the design and brings rest in people's eye's.
