New Subreddit Layout: Changelog/Feature List! (Leave your Feedback/Suggestions Here!)

Mod News

###Welcome Redditors, to the New Subreddit Layout!

We've been working hard on this new layout for about 3 months now, and we hope you like it!

Feel free to leave your suggestions, feedback, praises, complaints, and any other opinions you have in the comments below.

Credits:

Project Supervisor: u/Twofu_

Project Management / Designer / Developer: u/ClimmyClim

Veteran Developer: u/valeyard10

Graphics Designer: u/miririri

Special Thanks to:

  • u/fAEth_, for contributing some of the graphics we've used.
  • u/Realistella, for helping out with some image photoshopping, even though I didn't mention what it was for ;p
  • u/MerelyMelly, for letting us use her BF peeper/hi gif emotes! c:
  • And anyone else who helped out and I might have forgotten about~

Changelog / Features: (All colored pointers are further explained below)

Planned Features for future Release:

  • Full User Titles Revamp
  • Possible updates to Thread Thumbnails
  • Flair related features (you'll see what I mean... hehe~)

New Flair Selector!

We've updated the way you select flairs! Rather than having the old default way of choosing your flair, we've included a flair preview box to show you how your flair would look like when being used.

  • Images: Flair Preview & Flair Selector

  • Note: The text says: "This is sample text that will get cut off! I just have to add a bunch more random words and... voila!"

  • Extra Note: The flair preview only works with flair text up to 16 characters long. Any more than that stuff like this to occur :c

But don't worry, only the flair preview feature gets messed up - your flair and its text will still work absolutely fine everywhere else. So don't purposely limit yourself to 16 characters!

This 16 character limitation is a bug that cannot be fixed, due to the way our stylesheet is coded, and Reddit limitations. So, we'll have to learn to live with it! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  • We're still working on our method of solving the overly large number of flairs we have, so please be patient with us on this one!

New Automatic Post Flairing System

When you click on the Submit button now, you should notice that you are now able to select post flairs when typing out your post!

Please understand that clicking on one of the post flair buttons will reset the page, and you may lose whatever text you had already typed out before clicking the button. Thus, you should choose your post flair first!

Also, the automatic flairing system will insert a specific line of text into the text field. Do not delete this, as our system relies on it for reference to automatically assign your post flair. You can delete it after you've submitted your thread.

This does not work with link posts. You have to manually assign the post flair for link posts.

Post Flair Update + Thread Thumbnails

There are now only 10 post flairs.

  • Global News / Japan News / Europe News: This is for official ingame news / events; corresponding to each BF server region that the subreddit supports.

  • Guide: For user-created guides concerning ingame content, and other related stuff.

  • Technical: For threads concerning specific bugs, glitches, or technical game content such as "buff proc ids", and the like.

  • Achievement: Brag about big achievements that you've attained!

  • Fan Art: Show off all that cool art you've made about Brave Frontier! We like seeing good artists.

  • Discussion: Discuss about something! That's what this post flair is for. Duh. ;p

  • Fluff: The miscellaneous post flair, for fan-made content such as fanfics, shitposting, and other random things.

  • Mod News: One of the most important post flairs. You're not supposed to use these, only the official Staff Team is allowed to, so as to announce specific/special updates and other things for the subreddit.

The Mod News Post flair now has a flair gradient, similar to Global News, Europe News and Japan News.

If you haven't noticed from the above list, we removed the RNGesus post flair - we've found that it wasn't used much, and doesn't serve a lot of purpose due to the Summon Megathreads we often put up nowadays.

All the default thumbnails for link / post threads have been changed.

  • Text and Link post thumbnails were photoshopped by u/ClimmyClim ;p
  • NSFW Posts now have a custom thumbnail! Courtesy of u/miririri.
  • New! Mod News posts now have a custom thumbnail! Courtesy of u/miririri.

New Flair Filters

All of the direct links can be found in the bottom right side of your screen. Reference Image

New Sidebar Layout / Icons

What's new? Everything!

  • New Sidebar Headers~

  • New Sidebar Icons: Just look to the right side of your screen and see most of them there, and a few more are hidden until the related game event comes back up ;p

  • We've also simplified the sidebar quite a bit, clearing out unnecessary content / content that decided to create bugs within the new layout.

  • Lastly, we simplified / updated the Moderator List! New Header for Mod List: Just click on the little paper plane to send us a modmail!

New Top Banner Layout + Announcement / Notice Boxes

  • Our Top Banner now moves! not anymore!

  • The current banner is our default banner. If there are no custom banners made, this will be the one shown.

  • For artist reference: The banner display size is approximately 1290 x 250. If you're willing to contribute a banner - better yet an animated one, feel free to send it in.

  • New Unit Sprites!

  • Created by u/ClimmyClim, the right side of the top banner will always feature the latest units from BFJP!

  • Snoo is BFGL, Unit Sprites is BFJP, and EUBF is just simply EUBF ;p

  • New Announcement / Notice Boxes!

  • Top Notice Box: Example Appearance - This is for all important notices that people should know about! On mobile / smaller screens, this notice box minimises to prevent visual clutter. Just hover / hold on the snoo to make the notice box reappear.

  • Second Notice Box: Example Appearance - This replaces our old golden box, and houses all the weekly threads, plus more space for other potential notices if needed!

  • Dropdown Menus: Example Appearance - This is our new dropdown menu! It is neatly tucked away to the bottom right side of your screen at all times. Just hover / hold to expand on the menus!

New Subreddit Emotes

Before, we only had:

[](//#OEicon), [](//#shida), [](//#lemia), [](//#themis)

as usable emotes for the public to use.

But now, we have a total of 7 utility emotes, 17 picture emotes, and 11 gif emotes!

We hope you enjoy using them, and here's a full list of all the emotes you are now able to use.

Gif:

Note! All Hi/Peeper gif emotes were drawn by u/MerelyMelly, and should not be publicly distributed without prior consent. We've also taken the opportunity to help the artist mark the image, just in case.

[](//#hiabel), [](//#hitora), [](//#hiandaria), [](//#hiciara), [](//#hielza)


[](//#himadia), [](//#hiophelia), [](//#histya), [](//#hitazer), [](//#hifiora)


[](//#BBintensifies)

ClimmyClimOP•

Hey, Climmy here, we really hope you like the new theme!

It was a bumpy ride working on this, between irl responsibilities, silly Reddit limitations, and annoying bugs that we couldn't figure out...

Which is lucky we were lucky to have u/valeyard10 join the team! Upon becoming a moderator, he's been a big help behind the scenes with the different issues and bugs we've noticed.

Please, feel free to comment below and share your opinions! We're always looking to improve on the new layout, and crush any possible bugs that are still running around.

P.S. The moving banner and sprites may cause lag depending on your device. We apologise for this, and we're always trying to figure out a way to further optimize the feature!

Once again, thanks to u/MerelyMelly for letting us use this awesome gifs as emotes! c:

I like to browse reddit in night mode and now almost everything is white, which is blinding me. I'm wondering if there could be a night mode version?

2
Cactus_HumperCactus Humper of the North Star•

Apparently there isn't enough code to do it, I already asked. They might have a poll and see if people would prefer a permanent night mode instead though~

This looks pretty good. Although i like the old design better But i guess i have to get use to this in the meantime.

2
ItsTooTightOneeChanDereban 3098867892•

As much as I enjoy the new layout, having nightmode broken for me using RES really kills it for me. I look forward to when there's a solution for nightmode.

DPShiro•

I think the header is too tall, and take up too much space. It should be from bottom to top of sword maximum.

Also is there an option to hide all the icons/animations? Just trying to read comments in this thread is a pain.

2
ClimmyClimOP•

We've updated it!

You can now use https://bn.reddit.com/r/bravefrontier to access the subreddit without a moving banner!

As for all the other things such as emotes, you'll notice that people tend to forget about them within a few days - it's a normal circumstance where people overuse everything from the hype of getting something new to try out.

1
-Terumi-•

Then why bother putting them in if regular people forget about them? The entire thing feels too busy.

1
ClimmyClimOP•

It's because you're seeing them all in one single spot, of course it seems too busy.

We added it as an extra fun little feature. After all, instead of just typing with normal words, don't you think it might be a little more exciting when you can see the occasional

?

I'm not saying that people will completely forget about them - at least that wasn't the meaning I was trying to convey, rather that people will likely slowly reduce their usage out of common sense... ^I ^hope...

In the end, if it becomes too much, we'll do something about it. No worries!

1
DPShiro•

That just shows the same version for me, no change to the header. I don't have an issue with the animation, but rather the height, since its way to high and take up too I've space.

Would look much better if the total height was from top to bottom of the sword.

1
ClimmyClimOP•

Weird, the banner should stop moving in that version.

As for the height, we'll play around with it and see what works. Thanks for the feedback!

1
chickdigger802banana•

kinda weird that the snoo is a bit transparent.

will the emotes and pics in this post be added to the sidebar or wiki someplace for easy reference?

2
ClimmyClimOP•

Yes, soon.

NicoYazawa_JP Player: 74254960•

Since i havent seen anyone post this, I feel that the link to the Daily Help Thread at the Home page should be more obvious, such as using a different colour or making it bigger (at least on mobile using desktop view doesnt really seem that obvious)

2
MaXimus_Altissimus•

In my personal opinion, it can be hard to tell when a comment ends and a new one begins. Other than that, this is fantastic! Kudos to everyone involved.

2
Kurokishi_Maikeru•

It's hard to tell where one comment thread ends and another begins. If there was a way to fix that, then this layout would be amazing.

EDIT: I wish the moving banner worked in Firefox. I checked it out in Chrome and loved it, but I don't love it enough to make the full switch to Chrome.

EDIT2: Oh, is there a quick reference place for the new emotes?

EDIT3: If it's possible, at the bottom of the where the picture of the Black Gate is, is it possible to move the "Use of this site..." thing to the very bottom whre the Black Gate picture ends and there's currently a dead space there?

2
ATC007•

100% agree with the comment thread thing. I hope they change this
