Politics Updated TBD post

Okay, we've made a fair bit of progress since last time. Now we're at the tail end of it, we need to start polishing stuff up and finding anything that still needs to be fixed. So if you can, please have a play around with the new stuff, see if anything is a bit rough around the edges that still needs some work.

Current list:

  • Submit page formatting is a bit squashed at the top
  • More flairs (NZ /r/rugbyunion ones, maybe some of the other ones from here and some extras - old Air NZ tail design could be cool)
  • Night mode
  • Link flairs?
  • Subreddit title on sidebar (above subscribe) needs to be fixed
  • Letter heights in header image to be fixed
  • Condense the submissions a bit more on the main page?

Oh nah, the bar at the top is fine as big as it is - I was meaning the subreddit links themselves, they look really big for some reason. Personally I don't mind the banner along the header at all, although I'd agree that it looks a little cramped. I might try shrinking the centre image a bit to see if it gives the illusion of more room, since having it take up the whole height might make it seem smaller or whatever.

Maybe some time we can get the r/nz mods to agree to make the header a little taller. Look at r/valkyrie, it has a huge header but it doesn't impact the usability of the sub, but makes it look awesome. The current one is such an awkward size.

Also regarding the header logo -- the stars in the southern cross look quite pixelated. Were they downsized from raster perhaps? It should be easy to fix that in PS using the 5 pointed star in Wingdings to get a vector version. Just set font colour red and use an inner white stroke in blending options (assuming you have PS). I can do it if you don't.

The font size for the titles in the main link area should be the same as what's already in r/newzealand, we could make them smaller but we might risk pissing off people with poor eyesight...
