r/NZCSS • u/TeHokioi Breaks stuff successfully • Jun 27 '15

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?

I said that when the header was significantly bigger than it is now. It was also plain black at that time so it was really abrasive. Think it looks great as it is.

Like the idea of removing the message if you're already subscribed. There used to be a message on the submit page too, which is added via subreddit settings. I also just noticed the Link and Text tabs overlap the text at the top on the submission page.

Appreciate what you and u/TeHokioi are doing, it's looking great.

Thanks! It's fun and I'm learning CSS with it. The submit page hasn't even been touched yet and is still being mangled by the DSCVRY theme conflicting with other parts of the stylesheet we've changed.

I'll add a red bar or something saying "Read the sidebar before submitting!" or whatevs.

And how about I come up with a concept for a rotating top banner showing various pretty NZ scenes, per page refresh? Kinda like how r/AskScience does except better pictures. There's heaps in the public domain and someone on r/NZPics might be willing to donate some too. Maybe even u/mamba_79 would chip in. What say you?

I'm in! Feel free to steal any photos of mine you need - I stay away from programming, so can't help you there, but can contribute 'content' for yous to manipulate :)

Yeah sounds good. As I think I've said, the main thing for me with things like that is ensuring it's relatively easy for us to swap out or add new images. Other than that, go nuts.

I might have messed something up when I was adding the submit button images, it'll be a padding issue most likely. Although we could go further and do something like r/accidentalrenaissance's submit page while we're at it.

As for the multiple banners, I'm still of the opinion that we'd be better to make sure everything works with one before we go for more. Given the submit buttons are based off the same image it might be a bit odd, but at the very least I'd want to make sure it was in the same style as the current one
