Let's freshen this place up a bit

Mod Post

It's time for an update to the subreddit's "Old Reddit" CSS that I think we all know is long overdue.

While it's been fairly thoroughly tested on a variety of different browsers, there's no doubt some weird bugs that have slipped through. If anything doesn't look right for you could you please leave a comment below or send a message in modmail and we'll do our best to rectify it.

List of key changes:

  • A new header which will be updated more frequently for major events in the NRL calendar
  • Weekly fixture now posted at the top of the sidebar in image format
  • All standard flairs have increased in size from 20 to 26 pixels high
  • Some of the flair images have been given a re-fresh - e.g. the jersey flairs have been updated to this season's jersey (with only the finals left to go, oops I know)
  • Some thumbnails have been updated to show a standard icon, because I think everyone was sick of seeing some random Twitter profile pictures
  • Sidebar has been updated to collapse lists and keep it more compact

There will be some ongoing smaller tweaks as well, if anyone has any suggestions we're happy to consider them.

All tweets should come with the Manny thumbnail.

Manny hasn't been giving you news updates for at least a week, you just didn't notice it

u/Vectera has hit it out of the park with this update - a few other mods kind of helped and I just stood by and pissed around but this is 99% his baby.

Full credit to the man

And u/ayemeh. She's sat here next to me and helped out too.

But thanks mate. Some of the things have been interesting.

ayemeh:panthers_128x: Fuck Tetevano. #BringBackGirdles•

I'm helping!

25
Dufeyz:panthers_128x: Fuck Tetevano.•

Did you convince u/Vectera to sneak in a Billy Kikau or Nathan Cleary anywhere?

2
ayemeh:panthers_128x: Fuck Tetevano. #BringBackGirdles•

Kikau was on the first draft before we didn't make it to finals. 😭

I remember back when u/vectera and I were just youngings our reddit accounts were barely a year old and he helped me out with setting up r/NRLdragons and doing all the CSS stuff for me, he’s a legend.

6
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

Man we've both been here a long time.

Coleridge49:qld-maroons: QLD Maroons•

Yo man can you please tell me what code you used to move the sidebar image down in the Naut theme for that dragons sub?

4
the_psycho:dragons_128x: St. George Illawarra Dragons•

I know, so much has changed in both our lives over 7+ years and our reddit accounts are only 4 days apart haha.

There’s a few other regulars that are all around the same age as ours too.

3
ThePokemonMan:titans_128x: Deffs has a higher footy IQ than me•

i knew i voted him as the subs best mod for like 12 years running for a reason

also because he’s the only one who doesn’t threaten to ban me

9
the_psycho:dragons_128x: St. George Illawarra Dragons•

Not even a vote for me?? Wow man wow. Just wow.

2
ThePokemonMan:titans_128x: Deffs has a higher footy IQ than me•

sorry but the tibros and the DFFC are sworn enemies

I did nothing in regard to this because I'd break it if I tried :)

Was Todd Carney around?

Naspbeats:cowboys_1_128x: North Queensland Cowboys•

You could say he hit the ball straight through the goalposts

2
greasysouthscap:rabbitohs_128x: South Sydney Rabbitohs•

so no more manny? :(

29
kangaroo_kid:sharks_128x: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks•

Manny should be the default image.

29
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

No more Manny. Goob got rid of him like a week ago though, that's not me.

I told you making him a mod was a mistake.

wtf I hate goob now

13
ShitAroma:cowboys_1_128x: North Queensland Cowboys•

I was gonna say the Cow related flair's have no colour. Then it hit me. :(

13
GorillaSnapperI ❤️ CNK•

Savage.

2
kami_inu:sharks_128x: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks•

Any chance for a bit more colour in the up/down chevs?

13
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

Bit brighter like the NRL colour we've used for the Mod Post flair?

2
kami_inu:sharks_128x: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks•

Personally I'd say orange/blues like the rest of reddit, but yeah mod post green would (IMO) be an improvement.

Also a screen shot of the home page in RES night mode - not sure if there's such a thing as CSS for night mode? (I by default have substyles off for night mode anyway so don't really care)

3
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

Yeah, you can do stuff to night mode only. Is the green too dark?

2
kami_inu:sharks_128x: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks•

Yeah doesn't really contrast with the background at all IMO. But I really just did it as a test and will probably never look at it in night mode (and I'm pretty sure that's the default in RES) so I wouldn't even think about it unless you're bored and looking for something to do.

I also run f.lux and have my screen brightness turned down as low as it goes which is only going to make it even harder on my end.

I think it would be cool if the up/downvotes were blue and maroon. Depending on where the shield is at the moment.

Maybe that would be better as a temporary thing during the origin period but that's just my two cents.

I wonder how Croker got top billing on the new header????

11
LtPeanutsKangaroos•

Looks better with the 2019 premiers in the middle

6
Nicholas_The_GreatMount Pritchard Mounties U6's•

If that's the case that means Roosters 2k19 NRLW champs

My girl Kezie is literally unbeatable

I have no idea what you're talking about.

We just wanted to have the two grand finalists closest to the centre nbd

lol, you wanted 3 weeks for this

Yep now lettuce win please

mattmathersSydney Roosters•

will the fixture image still show which games are shown on fox/9/both? i found that really useful

8
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

Through the season they will. I kind of ran out of room on these. I think all the finals are on both except the Grand Final which is 9 only.

5
kami_inu:sharks_128x: Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks•

I think all the finals are on both except the Grand Final which is 9 only.

Correct

4
mattmathersSydney Roosters•

love it, thank you. saves time from looking up tv guides and shit, especially on things like anzac day games which aren't always on typical game days, or rep and (sometimes) womens games

3
crusaderniko:cowboys_1_128x: North Queensland Cowboys•

Hey I was only here an hour ago, comeback and feel lost. I wanna know where I am, what I'm doing and if the cows have made the finals yet.

7
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

Oh boy do I have bad news for you.

6
crusaderniko:cowboys_1_128x: North Queensland Cowboys•

Oh, I hadn't traveled forward in time 12 months. Shit.

I like it. Mods still suck btw.

ReggieBasil:tigers_128x: Contract? What contract?•

😢

LtPeanutsMODKangaroos•

If you have a flair with the block of colour it won't look great anymore, and by that I mean it will look even worse than normal.

5
Clarkey7163:panthers_128x: Penrith Panthers•

Looks fucking lovely, good knock u/Vectera

TheLegendScottMintoLegendary Minty Horse•

Looks fucking mint. Great work!

sunny_days19:cowboys_1_128x: North Queensland Cowboys•

Lookin gucci as fuck. Like it.

3
Ever-Frost:Bulldogs_128x: Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs•

Superb redesign.

3
Lorkun20South Sydney Rabbitohs•

It'll take a bit of getting used to because the old design was the best on reddit imo, but I don't mind it so far👌

With the new standard Twitter thumbnail though, would there be a chance of a rule that you need the journo's name in the title like I've seen done on some other sport subs? Just gives a bit more context to the tweet, so you know if it's been tweeted by someone like Manny or Hooper before you click

Love your work though guys x

3
SuperCronkMelbourne Storm•

Love the new look guys

ragtimesongs:wagon-canberra: Raiders Bandwagoner•

If anything doesn't look right for you

Yeah, all the new stuff because I don’t like change

ChopperReid89:titans_128x: Gold Coast Titans•

I thought I'd opened up New Reddit for a while.

3
Brodire2012:broncos_128x: Brisbane Broncos•

Holy shit, this changed a lot more than I was expecting. But it still looks really slick. Nice work Vectera.

Only issue is that the username/preferences/mail section is now overlapping the end of my subreddit bar at the top of the page.

2
VecteraOP:storm_128x: Melbourne Storm•

I've replaced the Logout & Preferences words with icons which cuts a bit of the width down. Should help a little bit.
