Feedback on Site design

Please don't use this bright of a white. It's painful to look at. Make the sub communities button a dropbox to save visual space. Add more forum features (How do I underline anything? Could we get colored text?) This is just a preference, but I don't like how icons have this weird position with text. Like This. It shoves the above text like I added an extra line and it just looks plain weird with the text. If they were more centered and had more space between the icon and the text on either side I think it would look nicer. With the "Best" and "Recent" tabs for replies add in a "Chronological" tabs. Helps with conversations. Have more sub-communites. Miscellaneous has so much random stuff that could work with their own area to be in. "My Updates" shouldn't automatically mark comments as read. I should have a "My Dicussions" tab. It shouldn't be dug deep in "My Profile" About "My Profile" it isn't really your profile. Maybe make it an actual profile page? Have a spot for a bio, favorite champs, pref position, etc. Make the default setting for first coming into the forum as "Hot", not "Best".

Hey Shoukansha Ichi,

Thanks for the feedback! Easy to digest and even numbered for better discussion! Some thoughts:

1 - What bright white are you talking about?

6 - Agreed, and that is the plan. But it's not something we can just roll out of the gate with. Our plan is to grow the number of sub-communities as it becomes relevant to do so.

7 - What would you expect it to do?

10 - It is. :) But it also remembers what you set it to, which is probably why you're getting "Best" right now.

I agree with Op. It's just too bright to look at and it actually makes my eyes hurt after a while. The old forum is ok because it's not as wide and the background art balances it. Keep the thread white but tone it down and change the blank white background to something darker PLEASE. Better yet come up with a non-white color theme.

I'm talking about the space between the border of the comments and the Rioter comments window. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

As Gapybo said, the forum page is just really bright. If it was just a bit darker or the amount of white on the page was less it might help.

as for 7 it just automatically marks comments as read once you enter the page. If you had it more like email where you opened up the comment and it marks it as read or have the option to not automatically do that it would be nice. If you got alot of updates at once but didn't have the time to read ALL of them it would nicer to go through each one by one instead of having to go back to all comments.
