Edit: It has cropped the image from 16:9 to 1:1. That won't work for a lot of uploads. Reverting.

All the pics look like this on my phone now.

There was a home/landing page when the site first started, but ended up removing it, cant actually recall why.

I think it is needed for people landing on the page for the first time, give them a bit of an idea what the place is about?... Though I guess it is pretty obvious. lol.

For regular users it should not matter would it? just navigate straight to the forums link, not the home page?

Pretty much. Most sites use it to confirm people are “of legal age”. Obviously an “I am over 18” button keeps those 16 year olds out.

@Anoma care to chime in?

I am probably an edge case, I'm on a 24 inch monitor set at 2560x1440 so what I see is not the average experience people have. I have also never looked at it on mobile so I don't know what it looks like.

That being said though, I use dark mode and the frame of the comment section is a pretty good size. As some of you may know it's an unwritten rule in programming to not have lines of text that are too long because it makes it hard to read and I think the length of the lines at the moment are a good length.

As far as the home page goes, I don't know if the site needs one but if it does then here's an idea for a design of what could be on it.



At least that way you could add sections to give new people an idea of what they're signing up for. Personally I'd stay away from making it too weed heavy (background pictures of leaves, etc), keep that stuff for the inside of the website in case people want to browse in public or at work or whatever. At least people know that if they click on someone's grow diary then there'll be pictures of weed but some other topics you know are safe to view when others are around.

I haven't had much time to think about but if you really think it's needed then we can all put our heads together, maybe a few designs and vote on which one looks the best and most functional.

I think that's just you. Anyone else confirm?

It looks like your browser only downloaded half the image.

That change only affected media uploaded during the window. Previous media was not altered (I hope!!)

What's the URL of the page you posted? Or an affected page/image?

Lol no 1080p for you!
Simple framework there, can easily be done now that I've set max width to 1920px.
I'll keep the homepage design inside the forum so I can make use of its features without API calls. Keeps the style the same too.

Should be a warning about you climate believers and ya bullshit propaganda dressed up as science

Or I could just fill the page with Google Ads for you all to click to pay for this site

Its more polite than the Admin asking for Cash and giving a little kids badge in return? see the thread

 

[Mod]

lol I don't understand the hate about asking for assistance?
Would it make you feel better if I gave you a little kids badge for free?

 

[Mod]

Anyone had any issues with the full width on desktops/laptops?

 

[Billygoat]

no issues here, but in dark mode it is not full width, only light mode.

I personally prefer a donation style system for site funding. It means the page isn’t filled with stupid amounts of ads. It’s worked for Wikipedia for how long now?

 

[Sugar]

I've not noticed any difference in what you did. All good my end thanks.
Are you able to add extra stuff under headings and sub headings and make changes as needed?
What are you thinking of doing now?
I'm not particularly keen on a home page of ads which I will block anyway and unless of real benefit to community as a Sponsor then why have them as an extra annoyance?
I'm interested to know what you are intending of doing and glad you are doing so.
