FimFiction Update · 4:02am Dec 11th, 2012
So, this new FimFiction layout... it's alright. That is, there are positive things (popular stories!) and negative things (WHY U NO HAS BACKGROUND COLOR!?!?). Here is a list of things that are great additions to the site and things that should either be fixed or deleted altogether.
Positive:
+ More modern look
+ Popular stories
+ Cool new banners
+ Bug fixes
+ Smaller pictures (helps gather audience through description rather than art)
+ GIFs seem to work correctly now (that may just be me, but I had to individually open all of them in separate tabs)
+ This may not be new, but there seem to be added story editor features (Import from Google Docs!)
Negative:
- No background color, strains the eyes
- No feature box; featured stories limited to front page
- Brobdingnagian comments. Seriously, they're huge.
- Notifications are broken (i.e. blog posts)
- Quotes are displayed as their Unicode form (PLEASE FIX AAAAH)
- Front page feels very cramped, kills mobile devices
- Story editor is smaller
- Lack of old banners; banners are smaller
In short, everything is smaller except comments XD. Seriously though, kudos to knighty for this update. User input might have helped, but most of the negative complaints should be relatively simple to fix (I have done HTML and CSS programming, and things like the color and the comments are simple fixes that would make a huge difference).
As always, have some Floyd:
