Feedback on the AFF website & brand refresh

[JohnM]

No. I just bookmark “what’s new" hence my not being worried about the changes cause I hardly see any of it. Plus I am still on the old style.

Same - except I have two tabs on my browser next to each other: one for 'New posts' (ie. what I'm already following) and the other for 'What's new'.

I check the first one regularly; the other periodically.

For those who may have reverted to the Classic theme, you won't have noticed yet - but we've shifted the headers on the forum to the suggested purple from @DejaBrew's feedback - a great call

To the design team - the favicon hasn't updated to the new logo? Or do I just have to refresh my browser cache?

Thanks for mentioning. I’ve been in all-day workshops the last couple of days so didn’t get to screenshotting this and posting. Not sure if the team has changed things since your post, but I’m currently seeing the updated favicon.

Cheers! I might be a tad biased - and I know the change is not going to satisfy everyone - but I honestly do think that's a significant improvement to the new theme.

What! you liked your own suggestion - how novel

Well it would have been awkward if I'd suggested the changes had resulted in making things worse....

A couple of other things I've spotted since the Forum was updated...

First, the label for "conversations" should have a capital "C".

Second, take a look at the menu bar...

Now, as I we gradually hover over the "What's New", "Articles & Guides" and "Member Benefits" menu headers, what do you notice?




For those playing at home, the answer is that the little down arrow head on the "Articles & Guides" menu is a different colour (i.e. See here) to that of the "What's New" and "Member Benefits" menus (i.e. See here).

I might have considered to this to have been by design, except for the fact that when you hover over the down arrow head on either the "What's New" or "Member Benefits" menus, they change colour to match up with the "Articles & Guides" menu.



Note: Both of the items I've flagged here are consistent across all themes and are not specific to the new AFF Theme. In the case of the down arrows on the menu bar, the colours in question are obviously going to vary depending on the selected theme, however the colour discrepancy on menu hover is consistent.
