New features: topic-thumbnails, board viewer-count, member ads

Done! (Logout to see)

…but i still don’t like it, even on a desktop machine. It makes everything harder to read…an option to disable it would be great.

This is a serious question: why would you want to read the listings in the showcase?

To get a quick overview of what is new.

Some people just can’t be pleased. ::slight_smile:

I like it.
The black border is a little hard contrast, perhaps a gray border. I mean blueish gray border. ::slight_smile:

Why the puppy games ad been called shameless? :clue:

It’s a real ad. I do not control what is displayed there. Yesterday I literally made $0.004 (less than a cent, w00t!)

Yeah it really needs other advertisers to compete with us or we’re not going to end up paying very much for the spot :slight_smile: So far I’ve spent 33c and got 11 clicks, hehe.

Cas :slight_smile:

Thank you, very nice feature!
Imho a more common aspect ratio for the thumbnails would be better (like 16:10 instead of 2:1). Also it might look cleaner to simply replace the post type icons column with the thumbnails instead of adding them to the subject…

Will do!

It’s actually pretty easy to please me: Make it optional! Or offer a theme that doesn’t show it. I haven’t really visited these sections since this change, because it’s a real pain to look at IMHO…

If there are more than three others that share your opinion, I will consider it.

I would like the option too.

I gotta chime in on this one. I also feel that while it is good to showcase the games, it pretty much changes what should otherwise be designed for best forum experience.
I definitely think both should be there. It would be really nice if it was easy to change on the fly too (on the same page), but otherwise it’s still an improvement :slight_smile:

If can I suggest an option on personal config to disable thumbnails like did on avatar because some of us (including me) may have limited bandwidth.
