Please let us know here of anything you find that doesn't work properly and any suggestions for new or improved functionality.

There is a 2-week cooling off period during which we won't be adding any of the latter but will be working on the former.

Also please note that for the moment you can post in existing discussions here, but can't edit or delete posts nor make new discussions - this is just because we need to keep Meta as clear as possible so things don't get lost - hope that's OK with everyone.

Quoting - if you hit the " then you go to a different page. If you click the word "Quote" then all is good.

Badges - need to update the badges to match the Reactions icons.

Default state of the comment box for iOS devices (ie show source).  Can we change it to "show rich text"?

While I'm thinking about it...we need a default thumnbnail for Facebook (when somebody posts a link to the forum, you can force it to pick a specific image for the thumbnail). At the moment, it doesn't show anything.

I can make the appropriate changes to the HTML, but we need an appropriate logo image first

Sporky

@ddlooping - can you make an appropriately sized version of the Favicon mebbe?

TTony

We *should* have a theFB logo.

Just been thinking about that on the "let's build us a guitar" discussion.

Open compo to design one???

ddlooping

I'm up for it.
Do we know what size the thumbnail is supposed to be?

digitalscream

It has to be square - I've found the best results with 200px or 300px.

Denis - being "a creative" could you kick this off?

ChristophEar suggested using http://99designs.co.uk/

Apparently you get very good results.

£200? Not especially sure it's worth that much

monquixote

Ooo actually that's quite expensive. 

ddlooping

Would the following do for now, until a proper graphic designer jumps in?

ddlooping

Or...

digitalscream

I like the second one best - it'll jump out more when Facebook thumbnails it.

Sporky

Ditto.

digitalscream

Unless there are any objections in the next 10 minutes, I'll get on it with the second image. That OK with everyone?

Sporky

Fine by me!

Nice! I'd vote for the sizing of v2 but with the outline/shadow effect from v1.

I'd also be inclined to add similar white text (with the full name) on the site's header logo. 

I know it does say "The Fretboard" beneath the image, but stronger branding never hurt. If people are hitting the site from search engines, they may only glance and it's worth making sure the name sticks in their visual memory...

I personally think that the full name stays in the top navbar or goes on the header, but not both.
