Jumpbox improvements

[keith10456]

The way it is now is not intuitive and borders on confusing if you're a first time user of phpBB. See the screenshot below.

If the the forums and subforums are separated better (either by capitalization, bolding, a combination of the two, larger font, etc.), it would be much easier to find what you're looking for.

I would also maybe make categories all caps as they are on the main page

Does Jump To button need better bottom margin/padding ???

Does look same on my forum, maybe it's a thing here because they have a lot of things custom.

You have to view a page that does not have who is viewing this.... For example, click View new posts, or View your posts.

Its title - the text that appears when we hover over the button - is currently "Jump to". Let's change it to "Jump to forum".

Agreed

Currently it is a bit difficult to make out the levels of the forums. Let's style it a bit. Something similar to this:

Could use some work, but not convinced of the screenshot.

What are you suggesting? A bigger space between the button and the footer?

Only think i would change is moving the bottom arrow a bit to the left so it doesnt get under the scrolling bar...

Yes, but not really at the top of my priority list.

Keep in mind that not all top-level items are categories. It's possible to have forums without a category at all. And categories can also be nested deeply.

It's a simple enough change

line 562 of common.css

Code: Select all

.dropdown-left .dropdown .pointer, .nojs .rightside .dropdown .pointer {
    left: auto;
    right: 10px;
}

change the 10 to a 15 or 20 or whatever. Not sure where else this is used though.

In many places. Modify this class is a bad idea.

Yes, i used 19 in the photos. The same path of classes must be only used by the jumpbox, but i may be wrong

[PayBas]

I know how to change it, don't worry. Just have to take into account the various versions of this (normal, extended, scroll) * RTL.

Modify this class, we must not.

I'm asking if this looks right/good, and if it should be addressed. IMO I think it's too close together, especially compared to the text parallel to it on the left side of window.
