@user DC
Concerning the search, I wanted to suggest making it more prominent (if possible) - I feel like putting it behind a hover had made it less accessible, and could thus lead to even less people finding it.
But maybe just giving everything in the top bar more space is all it really needs (and maybe all that's is easily doable, given the extra GDPR compliance steps).

Thanks for the kind words! Very glad to hear that positive feedback!

@user forfunlol420: Wow... that's unexpected. The page shouldn't be very heavy. What are your PC specs and which browser are you using? This might be caused by drop shadows around boxes and some other CSS effects. I could try to add a "performance"-style which has lower hardware requirements.

@user Hador: You are totally right. Thanks for the valuable input! I could add a little search icon to the top bar. That wouldn't take much space and many websites do it like that. I'll also improve the search feature and allow people to save their privacy settings in a cookie so they don't have to do that extra confirmation step each time they want to search something.

- When using mobile and clicking Nav Bar -> Community -> Rules, the Nav bar doesnt hide.
When clicking a rule reference (Rules §1.1 - No illegal contents (incl. endorsement, cracks/pirate copies) for example), the Nav bar hides until scrolling all the way to the top/bottom.

- The Spam Cooldown(tm) popup window (when mouse hovering over it) is showing at the wrong location sometimes. The popup window sometimes has a very large distance to the mouse
- The URL in the BB img-tag is not excluded from anti spam rules. If a link contains (e.g.) 5x "g" in a row, I get a UnrealSoftware Error upon posting "Too many identical letters in a row". Following:

Let me guess, is the Unreal Software's grand anniversary almost approaching that you upgraded the site's layout? Anyways, thanks user DC for the website rebrand and all of your hard work you do on the community, the new layout does look quite decent and fresh anew.

I noticed the forum moderation buttons are kinda out of place, with the temporary ban feature being on the left and all the rest of the moderation features on the right. It wasn't like that before with the old layout. Is it intentional?

Also when clicking on a rule which will show the list of all forum rules, the "X" button is misplaced.

Respecting EU laws (GDPR) by not sending any data to third parties without user consent

I know this has been talked about quite a lot of times lately but since the website refurbishment now abides by GDPR laws as per your say, does that mean it will be possible in the foreseeable future to deactivate or delete one's account?

It looks cool, but it's a little too spread out. It's too hard to intuitively understand what's where. I would like it to be more minimalistic, without a background. To me, the ideal design solution is a forum like zelenka.guru (not an advertisement), where nicknames and user information is on the left, not off the top.

I am extremely excited and also dying inside - simultaneously - from this new update. The portal page is probably my biggest point of contention. WHY IS EVERYTHING GREEN?
The text is now green. I don't remember it being green, but now all of it is!

Oh, speaking of green, this is my favorite shade of it: https://www.color-hex.com/color/05f97e

It looks great against a dark background. Would be good for text or smth.

Also, for pc, things could be a liiiitle bit wider. I know it's probably the same width, but my brain refuses to listen, and I'm probably not the only one.

Also... wait, I can't scroll while writing this comment? Uhhh... that too.

The buttons could maybe be a bit less flat looking, and less like... green
Oh, the emojis need to be shown bigger in the emoji grouping, when you click the emoji button.

Also, the portal page feels less... powerful, for lack of better words. It feels like it is more restricted, less relaxed.

Also, entirely random idea, is it possible to integrate this with notifications?

wait... now I can scroll. What is going on? This website is gaslighting me.

I seriously can relate to that. I'm not able to quote your comment anymore even though I denied to answer without your quote, expecting to have your entire post so I can answer it.
Also going back from commenting to the topic redirects you to the first page sometimes, although I've been on another before (2nd Page in this topic).

Thanks for the feedback. I won't comment everything but be assured that I did read everything so far and will take a look at the issues!
And yes, there's a mean scrollbar bug. When choosing a smiley for instance, the scrollbar doesn't come back. Will fix that soon. You can simply open and close the overlay again to get the scrollbar back.

@user Bowlinghead: Oh wow. That link multi letter issues must have existed all the time, even with the old page

@user GeoB99: Yes, changed positions of mod buttons is intended. The logic is now:
• directly user related buttons are next to the user name
• content related buttons are on the right of the content box

The account delete function has no priority but will come some day I guess. Until then people can contact me if they really wont their stuff to be removed. This really doesn't happen often.

@user ModJuicer: Actually (optional!) push notifcations is something I looked into and that I plan to add later!

Since you said that you're more complaint with GDPR now, does that mean that you'll (or already have) added the ability to delete one's messages at scale? Or at least to delete the account where your username will appear as [DELETED] or something similar?

Idk, [DELETED] has always seemed like a shoddy placeholder to me. It would be cool to make some sort of placeholder profile that actually looks good, with a name like "Ship Wreck", "Chat of Undead", "Death Chat", "Forum Phantom", etc. and a cool looking profile pic. The profile, when clicked on, could bring up a page which explains what it is.

Would be a fun feature to see.

user Chingy Crikey. Point taken.

Anyway, I think having a single purpose built profile would result in a profile which is generally better in appearance. I personally would rather see something creatively named and with a cool profile pic than some random old user name. Plus, idk if people banned would want their user names used for that purpose anyway.
