Chrome has had issues with font rendering for a while now. They get it right and then mess it up.

I'm not sure what they are trying to achieve when they change it.

It seems bold text suffers the most. Last time there was a major issue it was blurred text. I found removing bold formatting helped lots. But that's hardly an ideal solution.

I agree firefox's rendering looks much crisper.

It's by no means perfect, but it looks better when not bold (in chrome) imo.

Time to sound incredibly needy and point out some things!

When you sort your skills by one of the 3 options (Skill name, rank and experience), the 3rd click on one of the sort options should 'unsort' the list (I do realise pressing refresh puts them back into default order, but the 3rd click acting as one would be good, too)

Also, is there going to be a sort for Levels, and vLevels?

The font's great, aside from capital letters, it makes it look really weird if there's multiple capitals, but I've only noticed this with "JV", really.

Allignment is also one thing I would like, particularly on the XP progress page (when you get around to it):

When using Museo Sans 500 it looks like that, but I'd  imagine on your new page that wouldn't be so much of an issue as you force the font. However I'd like both columns to match, after all, they're in the same order.

As for the colour, I'm not too fond of the orange, I think the beige colour you have on your current site is a lot easier on the eyes, and also a lot easier to read on.

I hope you intend to keep the cycle of background images you have on your current site too, that's one thing (on top of many, many other things) that I love.

I like the mini avatars too, although I did like the head + full body picture combination on the old site. I imagine that somewhat slows down page load though, unless you cache those, too. (I imagine this would take a lot of space up though)

One thing I did notice is the Linkify button, what do you plan to put there, if you don't mind me asking?

Apologies for sounding so needy! I didn't mean for it :(

I hope you sleep well, sorry I missed your message when you went. ­<3

I don't know how easy or difficult any of the things you do are, but I had an idea for messaging you without HLF access, just not sure how plausible. :P

Would it be possible to add something directly into the Linkify settings where a user can make a post detailing their display name and query, and then it sends to your email address or some other kind of notification centre? If it could use a pre-set email address and only be sent to yours, I guess no one would have to reveal their personal ones, and they won't need to find out yours either.

Just throwing an idea around.. :O

Ty, made me smile :) But we (especially linkify users) are all awesome!

I hadn't really thought along those lines. One thing I keep forgetting (just remembered now) is I can't be sure people are who they say they are. That doesn't matter for avatars because they are not connected to your name, but titles are. So that kind of throws a spanner in works.

I like when I get ideas tossed at me, it opens up more possibilities for me :)


@Rowley,

The colours aren't set in stone and I like to hear what people like.

The background will randomly change daily, and I have some new ones too.

The sort by level and virtual level is the same as sorting by xp thus I didn't put buttons there. I can put buttons there but all they will do is fire a click on the xp button, because I have to sort by xp to get levels correct anyway.

Example 13.4 mil in smithing and 13.5 mil in mining, both are level 99 but mining is higher than smithing. That's why I sort by XP because sorting by level wont corretly put them in ascending or descending order.

Based on what you said, I just made changes to the font, capital N and V look better now.

Tri-toggle for sorting I hadn't considered. I like the idea and I'll work on that.

Alignment issues should be non existent on the new pages.

Full head and body avatars is a problem for me atm, mostly due to clutter. I'm trying to do the 'Less is More' approach. For now I'll be keeping it minimal.

Linkify button will be for instructions/help files, FAQ, Gallery. General info, what it does, where to get it, and Linkify stats. Maybe other stuff like latest updates patch notes.

Don't apologise for your input ever!

I thank you for your time :)

I feel stupid now! Yeah... Never mind.

It looks a lot better now, thanks!

Fair enough :) - How about a miniture version of the full body to the right of the name? I'm not sure, but I think the mini avatar on its own looks slightly out of place.

How about putting Ama's suggestion in there? A little 'Request an Avatar' box where you could request one.

As for the titles, I have no idea how you could do that. I know Runehead made people post on the forums to prove that they are them, but that defeats the point when it comes to requesting a title. Screenshot "proof" isn't exactly concrete evidence either.

For the time being, I don't mind taking requests via PM ingame, but I can't exactly advertise that.

Nothing much else I can comment on, but thanks for the response <3

As for Linkify: Did you remove scrollwheel click to open in a new tab if the image is open in a lightbox? I can't seem to get it to work.

Tbh I can't remember, after writing two lightboxes it's all a bit of a blur. But I'm pretty sure I didn't include that because the link at the top of lightbox opens in new tab. I guess that's not as convenient but I like that we can see the exposed url.

Anyway I can add that feature into this lightbox, not sure when I'll be doing an update, but I'll try to include it in the next one :)

Edit: Damn I swear my typing is getting worse with age. Fixed about every second word to hopefully make some sense :/
