The request to provide feedback on the AFF website and brand refresh got me taking a more critical look at various aspects of the forum design. I realise this isn't something that's been newly-introduced courtesy of the brand refresh, but one thing I thought might be a useful enhancement is the colour-coding of Classifieds tags.
Looking at the tags for Promotions & Offers, we have different colours in use (albeit no unique colours per tag) -:
By contrast, there is no colour differentiation for Classifieds tags -:
It think colour-coding these tags would make it easier to identify the status of a given thread. As an example, when viewing the "Qantas Lounge Invitations" thread, it's not each thread has a given tag/status, but it's not obvious at a glance as to whether the associated tag is "Free" or "Taken" -:
To be fair, it's easier to read this using the "Classic" AFF theme, but I think it might be easier again if each tag had its own colour, e.g. "Taken" was in red, "Free" was in green and "To Exchange" was in yellow. In that respect, the other tags for "Promotions & Offers" could similarly have their own unique colour treatment. This might be especially relevant for "Expired Offers".
