-LOCKED - New Layout!
Posted on 2015-04-17 06:58:57

New layout!



This wonderful new layout is a step into more friendly interface for PC users, iPad and mobile users! Everything is very flexible, the colours are less brown-boring now. The new layout is intended to be a lot more mobile friendly - there are some areas we're aware of that are buggy, but they should hopefully be fixed in a few days. Yay for mobile!
We hope that before you state "I hate this" you browse for a few days and see if you actually enjoy the changes! Every change is affecting your daily routine so obviously it's gonna be different for a while. We believe this layout is easier on gameplay, colours vibrant and positive and the background is very exciting!

EVENT now has its own separate tab, and FAQ next to it is something I have prepared for new users or common questions - if you think of any common question please PM me, I will be editing the FAQ few days a week.

If you notice any issue with new layout please report to This Thread

Remember that your personal Den .css coding is not going to be working in new layout, you need to edit it :x

SYC boards


We are taking off Sharpen Your Claws forums temporarily due to neverending arguing. We have noticed there's a trend of people reposting same controversial topics worded in a very specific manner just to get more fights between players. We want to see how Lioden's community will act without the venting boards, without the aggression. If you want to share stuff about your friend's death, that would belong to 18+ forums, if you want to complain about your lions being lazy and not bringing food, Free-For-All would be great, etc. But some topics will now stay off Lioden and we want to keep it that way for a while.

Congrats Nathanael (#44616)!! you have won Silky Rims girl!
Newest lady has Silky Undercover and is up for impressing in Special Lioness area in Explore or in NEWS section under News Post List!

I'm probably on the general bandwagon of "holy shit this is new but I like it"

It'll take a little bit of getting used to, but I do like it!

The thing I just noticed is, that I miss the color changing between pride members and cubs (the ones that are still with their mom).
I.e. the the slight color change that happened.
It helped me to find new born cubs on the Den page :3.

Other than that. Loooove it!

Wow, this is interesting. Very different.

It is rather bright...I can't decide if that bothers me or if I'm neutral toward it, guess I'll see how it goes after I mill around for an hour or so.

I do think everything is a bit..erm..."big". Too big in my opinion. I feel like I need to lean back away from my computer or zoom out or something. Especially in the den, the lions are very "in your face".

I like the background, the trees at the top are nice, but I feel as though the chat is hard to read.

Event having its own tab is a great idea!

I don't know, these are my preliminary thoughts after going about my daily routine of exploring and feeding my lions, I shall see what I think of it after a few days.

One thing, that I don't foresee my opinion changing on, is the Sharpen Your Claws board. I think we need the board back. I have seen quite a few sites start out with a "rants" board of sorts only to remove it. I find often it irritates people and doesn't do much good. It usually just stresses other boards with topics equivalent of rants that appear while trying to fly under the radar. With an official place to put rants it allows people the choice whether or not they feel like clicking on that board.

I love the new layout in design, its very pleasing to look at. Its clean and smooth and much more professional in appearance compared to the old one. I use a PC mainly, and it seems like its loading a lot faster. (I have terrible internet connection at times too. So I'm not sure if I can say for certain yet if the loading speed is because of the layout, or if I'm just getting a good signal) I'm really enjoying the new bg image, it feels more detailed, and well painted/drawn than the top image we used to have. And the colors of the Chat Box and Hoard I'm really enjoying as well.

The only things I would say to need to be adjusted are:

The vivid Red-ish brown color that seems to be the layouts main color.
The vivid orange-ish yellow color that the Lioden logo rests on.

The way the red brown colors sits on the white is a little harsh to look at. If it were up to me, I'd adjust the saturation, until its a few shades dimmer. Or change the FFFFF# white to something a tad darker. So the FFFFF# font isn't so hard to read. On the FAQ page it's very hard for me to look at especially. Despite so many complaints about color, I think this is the only part of the site that really /needs/ to be looked at and adjusted. From what I did skim through though, the questions currently presented were definitive some of things I wanted to know when I first joined. And I absolutely love that its all in one place. :D

The expiration for food items in the Hoard (If this isn't a glitch) And the ability to use the stack as one item, instead of clicking each item in the stack individually.

It feels kind of tedious feeding my lions with the way it works right now. Ideally I'd like to have the ability to use all the items in a stack (From the Hoard, instead of being redirected to another page) until the total amount of uses the items have are been used up. It'd make things much more convenient.

I do feel like the page itself should be adjusted, the boxes feel a bit too large and it makes scrolling feel like it takes twice as long. Tighten things up a bit.

I also cannot find the tab that links to my Branch. I can still access it from my profile page, but if this isn't a glitch (which I think it might be, and in that case it would be the only one I've encountered so far.) Than I would def like it back.

It's not efficient at all...
At least on mobile, didn't check on computer yet. But since I'm using mobile more, it's not really nice.

First, the layout is too white. And I really don't like the zoom-in look.
There's no chat, no time (which is important for me since I'm not in the same timezone) and no bookmarks! It's too hard to get to anywhere.
It's especially important for phones, since you said it's supposed to be mobile friendly!
And as so many others, the too much white hurts my eyes too.

And edit: Where the hell is the log out button?

Wow beautiful on my iPad, I love it! It's so much easier to use, I may come back to play now :).

Edit: I agree on the white, I'd change to opacity and make it more transparent so that we could see the background :)

New layout is definitely different lol
It may take a little while to get used to but so far I am enjoying it :3

Also, images and everything seem to be loading a lot faster than before for me
could just be less people on currently or my laptop deciding to be nice idk XD

But thanks for the update Lioden! <3

I love how the new updates is nice, but I'm not much of a complainer. There is so many white that it start burning my eyes. I'm really sensative to bright thing. My laptop is at the lowest setting and it still doesn't help. It is also a huge change that I don't really like. Thinking I'm OCC (never been tested) I feel like I'm going crazy with the new look.

I love how it is more mobile friendly which I haven't tried out yet, it just to big of a update for me to adjust.

I like the idea behind the mobile, but I am not liking the new colors. Text just looks faded, and the rest of the site looks overly bright. Things are so washed out that they become hard to read. The color scheme the site had before was perfect both for theme and legibility. Color issues combined with the white being overused (which I full-on hate) makes me prefer the old layout. I also miss the texture of the old one, and the fact that lines on boxes and such are so light on the new one makes me feel like the pages aren't done loading. The white overuse contributes to this as well.

I also rather dislike that den coding isn't visible to mobile users. I have a link to my other account that I use, as well as studding information.

EDIT: Now that I'm on my computer, I have to completely agree with everyone who's said that the site feels way too zoomed-in. I actually had to zoom out because everything was waaaaay too wide, and the site is actually in much better proportion that way, minus the images. Even then, though, certain pages such as the Den still page feel overly wide. Also not liking the yellow color used in the top bar--it clashes with the orangey yellow used everywhere else. I'd much rather see the color from the bar below it with all the links, or from the chat buttons. I think the pale yellow in the side bar and other areas is tooo pale, as well; it's too close to the white and bothers my eyes.

Small thing, but with the new top bar background, I can't make out the legs on the beetle icons very easily. They may need to be lightened to be more visible.
