Hm, mainly just looking at my ency everything is now offset by a little and doesn't look as clean-cut as it used to be when the font size was smaller. Everything used to be clean-cut and fit together perfectly like a square or a rectangle. But now with the bigger font size, it's offset and no longer is like a square or rectangle, some parts jut out more on top and bottom and aren't aligned properly. Some things are not on the same line and are on different lines. Even my trunk looks messed up now with there being a huge space under 'chara stats' and my acc stat is now offset and on the bottom instead of on the top. 'kim's abilities' is also offset too.

So mainly I just want to know are you going to make more changes that will upset the codes? If you are, I won't try and figure out how to make the codes work again since if you make more changes, I'm just going to have to do it all over again. But if you aren't going to change anything again, I'll work on fixing my broken codes and stuff.

I think all of it will be fixed if you just make the font size the way it used to be. Since I think that's the main cause of why everything is messed up now.

The BBCode is not at all intended for the use you are making of it. Quotes are for quotes, tables are for tables, spoilers are for spoilers—not layout tools. As soon as a user switches to a different font, font size, or even a phone... posts are at best inconsistent, at worst unreadable.

The aesthetic use you're making of it is bound to break as soon as I change a single pixel somewhere, and I can't commit to never touching it. The evolution of font size is a good example; there will certainly be others.

The best thing to do would be for me to provide you with proper layout tools, which are safer and more precise. This also means having responsive elements so the site can be properly displayed on all screens.

I really like the new navigation tab! Much easier to figure out where things are. I am glad there's an option to get the bottom bar back, that was the only thing I was having a really hard time finding.

I love how much easier navigating the site is! When I didn't see my money, I thought it was gone, but I found it. I really like how there are counters for how many owls and notifications you have.

The website looks really great! Thank you for the effort! Only issue for me is - I have no idea how much money I own! Because of the purse thingy. Could you maybe do something different for first years? Or display a total on the outside of the pouch? Otherwise great thanks!

Ayo Zach!

First, let me also thank you for all the hard work you're putting into Hio! The new navigation system looks brilliant! I actually have no complaints about it, and so far, I haven't found any difficult situations yet either.

To be honest, I don't think I'll miss the bottom bar. I didn't even realise it was gone! As often as not, I just navigated using the Hogwarts shield and the quill and avatar icons, because there is often a blocking the lower part of the screen anyway.

The improvements made all seem to be intuitive to me, and I really appreciate you adding our purses to our avatar menus. There was always a lot of confusion over how to determine how much money one actually has.

I'm definitely going to be looking forward to seeing some new locations --- hopefully more of our shop objects will eventually be linked to site locations! (For example, the description for the plain key notes that it "opens a door. Somewhere." It would be awesome for that "somewhere" to come into existence!)

Hello @Zachary Winslow! So far I love the improved site, and as I’m new it’s not been difficult to get used to either! Just one important thing: how can first years view the amount of money they have at hand? Because I for example would like to buy a pet and other things in diagon alley but have no idea how much money I have as I can’t access the purse option. Thanks in advance and happy new year,

Hey Zach,
I love the site! I do have a question though, remember how you did like the css display:none; thing on the links in the navigation dropdowns, are you going to do the same thing this time around? I ask because I noticed (I cannot see the forum, rest assured, but I can see it listed) that Hidden Forum, which is a staff only area, is visible. Was wondering if display:none; or pointer-events:none; opacity: 0.5; would be used like it was in the last navigation module or if it remains like it is now?

(I know its not the exact css, but off the top of my head, some had opacity edited)

Love the new quick selector, makes hopping between areas in Leaky Cauldron so much smoother. However the current dropdown mechanism seems to be hover-only, which isn’t ideal for mobile/touchscreen users. Any chance you could make it touch/click compatible?

Hey! I don't know if anyone has said this yet, but there had been some discussion about the owl animation being gone. I have my animations turned on, but the letter is still static. I really like the movement because otherwise I don't notice the notification. Was this on purpose or could we maybe get it back?

also: could there be an easy way to go to the main page, your common room, etc. again? My character is slytherin, so it takes a lot longer for my to get to the house page than before. I also liked having one easy click to get to the main page, as that's just easier than searching for it.
