Updates!

New updates include an improved image selector which shows a thumbnail of each image in your file manager as well as telling you when a file is in use in a creation in the file manager. We hope that these features will lead to a better experience on the site.


devPort features a fully dynamic way to view people's creations through image galleries, slideshows, and instant comment updates!

The feed is really cool, you should make a system so that you know when someone is replying to you or can tag user names in your comments (i.e. @DeserFox sammich)

I was once planning on a similar feed type thing for 64digits, but I didn't have enough free time to do it.

I see you didn't listen to me, but I will point it out one more time.

RED = padding problems

GREEN = wrong font size

@DF: Thanks!

@Ferret: Yes, we have plans to expand the feed with a few different options depending on want users what to see.

@KaBob: That was the most difficult thing on this site. There's so many variables that have to be accounted for and separated, it's crazy.

@Xemic

When you say padding problems, do you mean the areas where a square corner is inside a rounded corner, making it look like a smaller padding? That's been bothering me too. And that big space below blogs isn't padding, just empty cause it has a min-height. It will go away with 1 or 2 more blogs.

Relating to font size, I'm not sure what you mean. How can it be wrong? It's up to the designer and the needs of a particular work.

I wouldn't say it *looks* good, but nice job anyway. You should, as I mentioned on a previous blog-post, get some artsy fellow(s) to have a gander at it.

Well, the font of the navigation having the same size as a header does not make any sense imo. Just look on the web, and please tell me if I am wrong by showing a website doing that as well.

The font size of the music titles is too small; it doesn't stand out now.

About the padding, yes, you know what I mean. But besides that, the padding is too narrow nonetheless: let it breathe =D

Well, you set the min-height to the outer container, while it would make more sense to set the min-height to the inner container.

The top menu looks a bit off to me. Maybe a font switch or a font colour switch?

@Mordi

I don't want it too artsy since I don't want to detract attention away from the content of the site, which is the user's creations. Nonetheless, we are doing our best with the suggestions we are hearing.

@Xemic

Ah, that makes sense now. Thanks for the help. I'll work on it tonight or tomorrow since it's my days off and I need to relax a bit.

"Well, you set the min-height to the outer container, while it would make more sense to set the min-height to the inner container. "

Good point, didn't catch that.

@Melee

Hopefully Xemic's suggestions will fix this issue.

@Kaz: Poor choice of words on my part. By 'artsy' I meant 'design-y'. Someone that knows what works with what and where, making for a more aesthetic feel to it all. 64digits has a pretty good layout and design. It's minimalist.

I'll stop nagging about this now.
