Sidebars Josh 07/30/15 (Thu) 03:57:05 29b56d No.25

So someone in /operate/'s last thread suggested that we add sidebars to the right hand side of the page. This suggestion stems from the presence of gutter space created by capping the posts to be 70% of the browsers maximum width, with a minimum distance of 300px fro the right-hand page border. The remaining space allows for the post form to glide up and down without overlapping content and also the ads.

Anon said that this space was wasted so the last thing I've done tonight is try and play around with this gutter space and add custom text data a la Reddit. This is really hard to get looking right. I'm going to attach my attempt, but I think it looks really bad.

Input welcome.

no. I just had to fill in a captcha to reply to this. The 24 hour captcha. It's really annoying and i wish i could just put in the captcha like on operate. please help josh. your my only hope.

by the way what do you think about having a feature that displays who a post was deleted by (a janitor, mod, admin, or by the user who posted it) and being able to leave a reason on why it was deleted. Voat.co does this and i think its really useful for transparency

and thanks for fixing that!

Yeah, that's very possible to do with the new framework. Probably warrants its own thread, though.

Add a 'similar boards' menu on the bottom of the sidebar. The order will be based on UIP's fam.

Anonymous 07/30/15 (Thu) 11:27:50 0fa667 No.44

could you turn off captcha per post for a few hours. i've been trying to respond to your op post but it literally takes so long to post that the captcha always expires. i've lost count on how many times its done this.

Josh 07/30/15 (Thu) 12:14:57 29b56d No.53

The board would be immediately flooded if I turned off the captcha.

Write your post in a text editor like Notepad and copy it over. I've gotten into a habit of ctrl+a ctrl+c'ing my post before replying in case it gets gobbled.

The 128 character limit isn't necessary.

If people are going to spam they'll just start copy and pasting long text.

Captcha is the best deterrent since it's a pain in the ass.

Also did you enable the robot?

Dropped it to 32 and enabled the Robot. Lets see how it goes.

I really like this thing on werchan.

One of the biggest advantages Reddit has over image boards is information density.

Finding and browsing for threads on 4chan is very image intensive rather than information intensive, just a glance at the front page of a reddit board gives a lot of information/news but on image boards you have to scroll/load/look all over the place.

I thought that threadlist was shit. My eyes never ended up on it unless I was trying to figure out what I was looking at.

Having a condensed thread view puts the imageboard dangerously close to a forum.

Think of it as a complete watchlist.

It could just be a hidden thing people can hide or unhide.

I rather have a nice watchlist with posts that I choose to be in their

and when you hover over the text it shows the OP image.

Consider it a third alternative to the index and catalog.

Anonymous 07/30/15 (Thu) 19:37:59 757441 No.83

alright this is a bit ridiculous now i've tried atleast 20 times to post something and the captcha always expires since it takes so fucking long to post something.

its 3 .png images, one of the images is of the reddit side bar and i list a few issues with it and the preceding images are of a few changes to the side bar you presented in the op and here >>26

i'm thinking of perhaps changing the images to .jpg to perhaps help speed this along, i'm honestly not sure if this is just something on my end.

i'm monitoring this thread so if you did turn captcha off for like 30 min. max i'd immediately post what i've been trying to post for a while now. then you could turn it back on when my post goes through

Josh 07/30/15 (Thu) 19:47:07 29b56d No.84

>>83

Yes, if the upload takes more than a few minutes the captcha will become invalidated. Just host the shit on imgur.com or upload it to infinitydev.org -- probably try the latter just to see if it works right.

which board should i post in on on infinitydev.org, my /nunufag/ board or /infinity/

Anonymous 07/30/15 (Thu) 19:52:59 548426 No.86

Due to five images 8chan uses more vertical real estate than 4chan.

Have to keep that in mind, probably best to have things floating.

now if you're actually considering this reddit-esque sidebar idea, then i thought i'd take a quick shot at fixing some of

the issues i had with what you presented in the op

one of the central issues with reddits sidebar is that when you have a sidebar filled with information it tends to exceed the page content and go much further beyond it

as is shown in the included pic of coontown, so thats why i decided to make the sidebar a completely separate frame from the rest of the content, i feel that would fix that issue.

as for the issues with what you presented i feel that it'd be better if sidebar info was always in the users field of vision, because if not then you'd have the issue of one part

of a users screen completely blank since they'll be scrolling down through the index. i also feel what you presented doesn't take into account the possibility of a user selecting

"all" to enable infinite scroll, having the sidebar be its own individual frame also fixes that issue.

( i've lost count of how many times i've tried posting this, due to captcha expiring )

here's an image of a subreddit with a side bar with alot of information that exceeds the page content, i feel r/coontown illustrates my first point very well.

( it's likely that this image was what was slowing the posting process down to the point that the captcha was expiring. the image itself is 3.00 mb )

Anonymous 08/04/15 (Tue) 15:46:17 6200aa No.213

Nothing wrong with that. Maybe a semi-expanded catalog would be better, where the image is to the left and the subject/details are to the right, carrying the entire width of the screen.

>>127

This, go with condensing the "new thread" creation tool.
