I need members who can go through the site with a fine-toothed comb and identify as many areas as possible that needs work done.

For now, I want to define "needs work done" as areas which have broken functionality and/or have unnatural/inconsistent/broken visuals. For right now, please refrain from identifying any ideas for added functionality or for new mods or anything that isn't pre-existing to the site today (i may do another round of this and include these pieces at a later time).

Some examples of what I'm talking about:
1.) "Watch Thread" and "Ignore Thread" both have the same icons, whereas the rest of the options have unique icons:


2.) when hovering over "Express Mode" and "Best Posts", only the text has a hover-effect, but when hovering over "Watch Thread" and "Ignore Thread", the text and the icon have hover-effects:
vs

3.) using the "Ordered List" option in the text editor has some visual issues:


(no, you can't use any of these suggestions, nor the broken scrollable page number issue in Express Mode...i believe these are all of the open issues i'm aware of on my plate today. everything else is fair game.)

@BestMembers @Help

...i want this site to be perfect. on both themes. on most devices (there's some issues with the s--- stock android browser...those are out of our hands).

As a reward, I will give 1,000 trophy points to the member who identifies the most issues by end of day Sunday.

@Loyalty rocked it. props to everyone who contributed to this thread...i've got a SHITLOAD of work to do now...which is exactly what i was hoping for coming from this. not every single suggestion is doable right now, but the majority of it is -- which is awesome.

success.

also big shoutout to @able who landed 2nd place and who constantly contributes to these types of things.
@FlameEffex, your images (and videos!) were super helpful. not sure if you've been lurking, or have just recently started posting again, but happy to have ya here -- we're always improving things...tell your friends.
@DetroitSkills a couple of the things you called out were mentioned in the op or called out, but i appreciate the eyes-on as well as the rest of your suggestions

everyone else, again, thank you. we'll do this again sometime in the future.

Me when I get my 1,000 points from this thread

A lot of these are probably nitpicking, but since you asked...

Spoiler

Maybe add a line break before "Likes" so the number of likes is on the same line:


Some avatars are cut off in express mode:


"Click to expand" didn't seem to work in express mode:



Overlapping text on "Forums You Ignore" page:


Bulletpoints show up on hover, on "Forums You Ignore" page:


The "Unfollow" text is unreadable on hover, and it's not really centered in the black box (Friends Online page):


"Conversation Title" text isn't vertically centered on the "Start a new conversation" page:


This isn't really an error, but the Facebook and Twitter logos would look nice if they changed color on hover:


Ad overlaps profile information when you shrink the window:


When you add a post to the multi-quote (in the black theme), you can't see the minus symbol. Instead it turns white/gray (see in Flameeffex's post):


You can't scroll down to the "Quote these messages" button on a smaller laptop, I have to zoom out to see it:


X vs Y forum doesn't have hover-over text like the rest of the forums:




Now here's some mobile ones. They're taken from an iPhone 5 which I know has only a 320px screen width, so maybe it's not that important...

No padding on the avatars on the "New Profile Posts" page:


Same issue when viewing profile posts on peoples' profiles:


(shoutout to @Nori for keeping all the s80 girls away )

Lots of empty white space below Instagram embeds:



This is nitpicky, but the "Off-topic" icon says "Misc" instead of Off-topic, although the rest of the forum pics match their name. Also the "Announcements" one says "Issues":


No margins between buttons (below all threads on mobile):


"Issues and Suggestions" needs some margins on mobile. It would also be nice if the subforums appeared by default, so you wouldn't have to click Announcements twice (once to show the subforum, once to open Announcements forum):


The avatars don't take up all of the free space when viewing a profile preview:



Lots of margins needed around these buttons:



The words "delete, report, unlike, comment" are kind of haphazardly placed, probably just because of my small screen:


"Report" button should probably fit on the same line as the reply, like, etc:



Same issue for a post that has edit and delete (written by myself):


The arrow doesn't fit on the same line as "Last message"



Plus member symbol (and @ symbol, admin symbol etc) is cut off at the top:


There's no margin around the "Post New Thread" button, so it almost touches the thread title:



Overlapping text on "Recent threads" page:


The text box "Maximum smilies..." isn't responsive, so it doesn't fit on the screen:


When you add an image or link on mobile, the dark overlay covers the box you need to type in:



This menu could probably use a border since it's close to the same color as the forum behind it, looks kinda messy:

I think this was mentioned already in the past, but the reviews page is pretty messy on small screens:

Code:

When replying to a thread with "More options", the buttons need some margins:

Code:

On that same page, the icons to make changes to the text are all kinda uneven (a random amount of icons in each row):

Code:

I think that's it for now, but I can post more as I come across them.
