3.1 notifications somewhat difficult to read

[PayBas]

but maybe reorder the information (like on the index)

But it's the "action" that's most important right? I personally think that the first line should really be an indication of the notification type.

I like Hanakins information delivery. But its way to wide in my opinion.
I prefer Paybas second mockup, but maybe reorder the information (like on the index), and color code the notification titles (like in Forum rules) for mod messages?

Kinda like the following, with avatars on the left like in the mockups:

The last one with light red background like in Paybas second mockup.

+1 for the above post, combined the best parts imo.

I actually like that notifications currently look like Facebook's

[hanakin]

best of both worlds planing based off Mess's suggestion, add more space between avatar and text something like 10px. add overflow:hidden to forum title. Then add color to the action and make it bold and upper ie REPORTED

hanakin, do you have a screenshot with the whole notification box or is the above a sketch?

that was an early mockup for a research project i was working on I actually ended up making it even larger http://midaym.com/test/mino/

also side by side comparisons of facebook vs current phpbb

another huge issue is avatars. we need to standardize square dimensions note mr DavidIQ's avatar is wide this is easily done by setting the css size on the image element

@ hanakin - I like your mockup. I hope it end-up in the Styles directory.

I like hanakin version as well!

Paybas's seems the best for now. It should be fairly easy to switch to Paybas's mockup.

-1 To adding multiple links. I think the notification should just link to what it's notifying you about. Too many links in there might make it confused/cluttered.

Hanakin's are nice too, but that's a much larger change, and should be saved for 3.2, unless somebody thinks it can easily be knocked out, of course.

With text-overflow: ellipsis, highlighted color, and avatar margin-right slightly increased.
