For Useful Links.

Thanks PH. I'll add it when I get home from work

Livestream added to useful links section of news feed

Alright guys, Jak proposed this reasonable idea of having certain announcements on the News Feed have a certain color based on the importance of the announcement itself.

So, if anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to discuss.

Announcement itself: Color of importance
Announcer's name: Namecolour on Forums.

We are done discussing.

If it's important; red. Slightly less; yellow, and just optional; green.

Mod/Admin: Normal Color

I was thinking of having the hyperlinks darker while the body of the message remain lighter.

For example, the name of the person's announcement & the link that directs you to the topic's origin will be dark red. In the other hand, the message itself and the date will be light red.

In that case, the colors blend well without looking too much alike

Here is how I see it happening, Red being the highest and purple being the lowest, so let me know if you agree.

Spriter's application announcement now posted on News Feed in td'rl

Alright, I added the following things into the News Feed Today. 

"Youtube Cup 3 Registration"

&

"Suggestion Poll Replacing CrusaDLC Poll"

Alright, I got a question for the whole community and I would like direct and honest opinions.

I noticed that no matter how often I update the News Feed or modify it, it still doesn't draw any attention unless a selective few points it out to the user.

Is there something missing within the News Feed that just doesn't scream attention? Is there a way we can visually improve it?

How do you know it doesn't draw any attention?

Cause many times people ask for certain links, cant find Global Rules/Faqs, didn't notice the tourney announcements, and basically everything else that goes with it. Been like this for the longest.

How about a single, long banner stretching the length of the other forum sections saying "News Feed" with arrows pointing up towards the news feed? Between the News Feed and the main forum, obviously.

I like it the way it is tbh

I think the problem is that it doesn't stand out from anything else apart from the text colors. I think a start would be bolding the headers of each box. You could also look into setting those boxes apart from the boards by changing the backgrounds or something.

There are a few typos:
1) The hyperlink is broken.
2) The line: "Therefore, a livestream is not guarantee" should be either "Therefore, a livestream is not guaranteed" or "Therefore, a livestream is not a guarantee."

Grammar is very important to the Nazi Party
