SC:L Forum Mockup

[Gradius]

We want to make sure that you guys like the SC:L forums, since we're designing them just for you. Here is a mockup that I threw together which we'll try to implement sometime down the road if we can: http://sclegacy.com/_staff/gradius/forumtest.jpg

What else would you guys like done skin-wise?

That looks pretty freaking sweet, Gradius. I assume the next post would start immediately below?

Man, this is like analyzing Blizzard screenshots. From that mockup I see what looks like rep stars, and is the red card/yellow card thing the rep button?

But yeah, as far as usablity issues goes this incorporates everything I would want from the forum. My only other question would be where the signature would go: would it be in parralel to the Quote/edit buttons or would those still be below? The former would be better since it would eat up less vertical space.

Much love for the SC:L team for being so responsive on these interface concerns!

Edit: I took a second to clarify some of my questions with an image.

Very cool. No complaints from me.

Pretty awesome Gradius!

What is that Yellow/Orange thing to the left of the report button? I notice there are ranks though, I like that, do we all get a rank to work towards similar to rep? Also, whats the computer on the other side?

The way it looks is great though, great job on it. I can't think of a thing it would need at the moment...

Those stars, im assuming they are just like BF stars (related to post count)

Is there going to be any sort of Rep feature?

They are trying to figure out what to do with the rep, or if to include it at all..

I personally would like something more along the lines as a thumbs up thumbs down thing for posts. Then you get a total count of thumbs downs and thumbs up in your stats :-P

If I'm an ass all the time, I might have more thumbs down, and be considered a less quality poster, and if I post thought out halfway intelligent posts, or good ideas, I'd have more thumbs up. Even if just thumbs up was included with no thumbs down, that would be fine too :-P

That image appears pretty small to me can you enlarge it please?

Also can there be an in thread notification of a pm received?

Yeah, notification pop up would be nice.

The mockup looks pretty good to me. Can't wait to see it implemented
