TO QEM

*waves a hand* Hey, I have a question about the site scheme design for Support to answer:

What would you like the Support Requests board to look like?

Should I leave the yellow, green and red as it is, or has anyone been wanting a different color code?

I can't recall anyone saying that they wanted it too look different - other than me saying that some of the site schemes are completely incompatible. D:

I think it's pretty much the same issues as the rest of the site in what people would like, just because of those tables we're restricted further with our options because we really really want to be able to be able to read links - and uh not go blind. @.@;

The yellow, green and red are so we know what needs to be answered, what has been answered ... That's a standard that goes across all LiveJournal clones I think...

If you vary too much from that, especially in the default it might cause confusion. D:

If it had div tags, it would mean people could set up their own personal colour system and be able to get things working to their own needs, but as it is I think you'd just need to make sure that the system has some sort of option that means that the links there are a different colour if necessary to the rest of the site.

I can go post to support to direct volunteers here if you want?

*wry* Yeah, I'm looking at the links on the background colors and thinking 'wow, that's ugly'. Okay, I'll see about getting a class added to that table to make the links gray on that page, so it's easy on the eyes.

And, yeah, if a few people want to take a look at the mock-up page (http://www.alltrees.org/IJ/support_help.shtml) and say what they think, that'd be cool. And if they want to look in on ij_siteschemes to keep track of the general scheme progress.

*thoughtful* You know, the backgrounds are done with classes in any case, and while I can't take everything out of tables yet, the new scheme will enclose them in a bunch of divs. Everything should be changeable with browser styles at that point. I'll have to make some posts about that, when this goes live.

Yay.

Didn't direct them to this post because was unsure how comfortable you would feel with specifically directing them to this journal, but I'll forward on any responses.
