LFG (again)

I dont think it should stand out any more than the avatar picture there already makes it. Why would it?

Jeez bowl. You can't let me have one goddamn thing, can you? That box is probably my one change to the site. Everything other change is just a tweak of what already existed. If you want it orange then I can do that - orange comes free with one sulky Adam. 😞

I agree. All the extra colour are distracting and make it harder to emphasise important things.

Since this is a new feature, having it appear in a new colour for a while might be OK, but it should fade into the background once the novelty wears off.

The Private Message system on GP is sorta sucky. I also dislike 'recruiting in private' on general principles.

Can we add a link to a forum thread where we can chat to the player about what they are looking for instead of (or as well as) the link to 'Send a message'? The player would need to create such a thread (in the tavern?) and add it to their LFG blurb.

This allows for and fosters dialogue.

Well, you know I was already against turning the Latest Game Posts thing red. But that was a highlighting I at least understood the reason for, even if I didn't like it personally.
This is a thing I actively don't think should be highlighted, especially not in an even highlightier color 😄

Why do you think it should be green?

I don’t any more. I’m past caring.

Curious why you dislike private recruiting. I feel that it has its place among all the other types of recruiting here, like new players only, high rate posters, casual posters, mostly roleplaying or combat-heavy etc. Sometimes people know a group that has just the right qualities to make a particular system in a particular setting incredibly entertaining and they want a guaranteed fun game. I've been lucky enough to be in such games. But I am also in open recruiting type games.

It seems like we are conflating the historical "What sort of games are you into?" with the "What sort of games are you looking for?" of the new LFG.

Perhaps they should be separate fields? Especially if someone is not currently looking for games.

Can me make the Looking for a Game box collapsable like the others (announcements) in that area?

Some people may not be interested in starting games (not currently or not able) and making them scroll past something they have no interest in is non-ideal.
