Minecraft Name: Mr Smith Suggestion: Remove the staff online now block from the sidebar. Reason: Especially during peak times, the side bar is unnecessarily long. Why do users need to know what staff are online anyways? Blue and Red names stand out in the "Members online now" block anyway. Any Other Information: N/A Link To This Plugin: Can be removed easily with the Widget Framework if we use it. There is an add-on that i saw that does this. I'll have a look.
Honestly, from my experience a lot of people choose which staff to PM from that list. I personally like it being there.
I understand where you are coming from. However, have you ever seen it during peak times with 14/15 staff listed on it? It gets annoying after a whilst.
Solution! Decrease the font and avatar sizes. Make it more compact. Suddenly it takes up a lot less space. Yay for solutions! EDIT: example:
I was messing around with it using the inspector tool, I think it looks good using this CSS: Code: .sidebar .avatarList .username { font-size: 10pt; } .sidebar .avatarList .avatar img { width: 25px; height: 25px; } .sidebar .avatarList .userTitle { display: none; } Last bit removes the custom titles - It looks less cluttered.
too much whitespace. Less content is not always better. I suggest something more like this: Spoiler: css code Code: .sidebar .avatarList .username { display: block; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 0; } .sidebar .avatarList .avatar img { height: 24px; width: 24px; } .sidebar .avatarList .userTitle { color: rgb(150, 150, 150); font-size: 8pt; height: 8pt; } .sidebar .avatarList li { margin: 0; overflow: hidden; } note: This cuts off long user titles. But it keeps it clean. edit: comparison for whoever wants (27% smaller) http://imgur.com/Mybed4M,b1THirf
No titles mean ranks can't be seen - they should be clear for newer players who don't yet know who's who.
