Hi Laura, few things I would like help with, some of which I think you should implement in your template in order to make it more appealing to community builders.
1) on KLEO log in, when you click lost password, window pops up to enter username/email, on the bottom there is a link “I remember my details” That sounds odd, if you had “Back to Login” that would look much better. Also, I think it would look better centered vs right aligned now
2) on Register screen, underneath the log in with facebook icon, there is this text “Registering for this site is easy. Just fill in the fields below, and we’ll get a new account set up for you in no time.” This also sounds odd, I dont think you need anything in that place its self explanatory.
3) When a certain action takes place for example you cancel a friendship, a message pops up friendship cancelled and it is stuck on the screen you have to click on something else to get rid of this, there are other messages that dont disappear I forget which ones, they should show up for lets say 5 seconds and disappear by themselves.
4) All members page/directory, Avatars should be bigger, right now they are miniatures, I would say 100% bigger. Also, there are (Add friend) and (Private message) buttons on that box, and time stamp of last active, they should all not be there. All that box should have in directory is a larger picture and name. If they want to connect or send a message they should have to click on profile first, as is now, someone can add everybody on the website in a matter of minutes. Last active is an invasion of privacy. Getting rid of add friend and private message should be easy as ones own box doesnt have them, but it still has time stamp of last active and small avatar. I think in terms of avatars you mentioned that can be enlarged in CSS. (Screenshot1)
5) On members profile page under base.. on your demo profile, Nickname – Laura Kleo, the Laura Kleo is in blue and is a link, when I click it, it does a search for Laura Kleo, and it goes on that way fo every other entered field, the answer is blue and a link, I dont understand this at all, how can I deactivate these searchable links and just have an answer there in blue with no link attached. (Screenshot2)
6) Your messaging on Groups, Forums and Media buttons when there are no items is inconsistent.
If somebody did not subscribe to any groups, “There were no groups found.” on a colored line.
If somebody did not subscribe to any forums, Forum Topics Started,This user has not created any topics.
If somebody does not have any media, Media Gallery, Oops !! There’s no media found for the request !!
I personally think your format and font variation for Forums is the best, you should make it the same for the other two to make it consistent, right now they are all different:
Groups joined, This user has not joined any groups.
Media, This user has not uploaded any media.
Some things specific to my site I believe…
7) Upon new registration, when you go to friends-requests, there are automatic pending friend requests from everybody on the site, have you guys heard about that before, is this specific to KLEO? (Screenshot3)
8) Forums in Kleo Menu has an issue, it works fine on admin profile, although in tab its missing arystokrata, it only shows Forums|… all the other pages are Something|Arystokrata. On non-admin profile when I click on Forums in Kleo menu i get a Error 404 page not found. On admin profile it works I see all forums which I as admin started. By the way you should get rid of “This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?” its a subconscious message which leaves negative impression without even realizing that.
9) Icons for below avatar picture end with V in a circle which is non-functional, media should be in its place in spot #2 after Profile. How can I get rid of that V in a circle? (Screenshot2) Also Media has a “Play” button as an icon, is it possible to change it to a Photo icon and change the name of that tab to Photos?
10) Will google search pull up first and last names off my website in its search results?
11) I have rechecked the last two slides on different mobile phones, still not visible, Im guessing its an issue with carriers here in the US.
Thanks Laura!
