• After 15+ years, we've made a big change: Android Forums is now Early Bird Club. Learn more here.

Please compile feedback for "Thanks" button new "share/tweet/etc on click" feature here

Three things:

The "thanks" button gets moved to the next line when someone edits a post and adds a reason, which is quite ugly. This might only be an issue for those that can edit others' posts.

The Share button doesn't have the same style as the other buttons (Edit, Quote, Thanks). The text is much different.

Also, the Share button's behavior isn't exactly nice in Chrome, as Mada stated already.
 
I'm sorry for the alarm. It must have been something to do with my work machine. All the buttons appear to do what they should now that I am at home.

Specifically what I was seeing was the mouse pointer not changing to the hand (like when you hover over a hyperlink). I tried clicking the report button (in case the site was using any mouse pointer specific code that went haywire) but it was like clicking on a static image. I noticed this on a thread that needed reporting (thanks Yeahha). I then bounced around to several different threads (probably four or five), ones from my User CP with new posts, and I was having the same problem.

At work I am behind a pretty funky firewall and that may have caused it. It's hard to tell though and I will check again in the morning. I just had to leave to get my son from day care on time, so I posted the issue here in case it was related (and I know what a misplaced comma, single quote, etc can do to a site) and I knew it would be an hour or so before I would be back online. I didn't want to leave it unnoticed.
 
First, 'Thank-you'... TVictory for your work here on the forums -- Totally awesome. Thumbs up!

Second, if anyone having site difficulties: clear your browser cookie, data, cache, and history. Before doing so, log out of the forum. This fixes most of any issues that I might be having with the forum. It may work for you.

Edit: No problem here on my HTC EVO 3D. :)
 
Well people seem to be liking this version better. We may have a few more things to work out with it, but its going over much better than when we had it tethered to the thanks button. Hopefully people will use it. The good thing about that "thanks" button tether was that people were already doing something to acknowledged the value of the post. Now its a whole separate step, without a "reminder."

What do you think folks? Do you think you might tweet/reddit/G+/like some posts?

Has anyone tried it yet with the new implementation, specifically G+ or fb?
 
I have used the tweet button/feature, not yet post anything on my FB page. I'm waiting to see something worth posting on my wall. I'm a freelance/inspirational blogger for my Twitter and Facebook accounts..So, my friends and followers are always logging on to see what today's word is. :D

I'd like it to download, flash and troubleshoot ROMs.

Thanks in advance.

So you want rom manager plus auto-ATR implemented in the forums :confused: kinda seems like a different request :p

Ok, so I just liked that post ^ on facebook. I attached an image of the result to this post.

EDIT: It also looks like Facebook isn't achknowledging any more likes now. I don't know if that's a problem at our end or with facebook trying to combat spam.

So that's Frisco's usergroup badge, along with DaSchmarotzer's post text from the first post on the page.

Here's something I just noticed-
When you edit your post (I can't test this with someone else's post for obvious reasons) the share button disappears after you save your post. It comes back after you refresh the page.
 
Here's a modified version of the share button, with the same style as the other buttons (Edit, Quote, Thanks). Would it be possible to use it instead? The one currently in use is nice, but its style doesn't fit.

Here's the file:
attachment.php


Here's a gif animation showing you the difference, with the thanks button beside to compare. ;)

attachment.php


There are three changes: the different font style, the "shadow" around the icon (it was too big compared to the other icons) and the corners (I changed the color from pure white to slightly tinted just like the forum's background, it was barely noticeable. I didn't change the corners in the gif animation though).

Thanks.

Someone gotta fill in for Paul McCartney. ;)

I'm sorry that was lame.

Thank you very much for this. I have uploaded it and its now live. I am wondering if the blue isn't a little two dark?

You rule DaSchmarotze!

Thanks for using it. ;)

The blue is supposed to be exactly the same. I don't see any difference on the GIF animation either.

Just one thing (sorry :o): you did spell "Cher" wrong.

:p :D
 
Does nobody agree that the blue looks too dark in the share button now? The font is way better, but i see somethings up with the saturation or hue of the blue.

Here's a really zoomed in version where I've taken the 'Sh' from the share button and placed it on the thanks button:

To my eyes that looks like the colours are all spot on, but the shadow is more of a gradient on the thanks than it is on the share button - the shadows are too well defined and don't reach out far enough.

Shanks a lot.
 
Thanks guys. I did the "shadow" without zooming in, I should have spent more attention to that. You really can see the difference without zooming in? I'm amazed!

Here's version 2:

And here's a close zoom, the "Sh" is from the Share button and the other letters come from the Thanks button.

Tell me if there's something wrong. :)
