Board is confusing...

[Justin 'Perfectionist' Courage]

Hello everyone, 

I know I am new here and I'm not wanting to rock the boat or appear an over sardonic S.O.B but.. I have a few issues with this board that I feel a little friendly criticism from an "outsider" may help?

I'll list my concerns below and it's up to you 'The Powers that be' to implement these changes, ignore or discuss.

I will state that I am aware of the whole "If I am not happy I can leave" type of stereo-typical engagement that undergoes within E-Fed's such as these, I have however been on both ends as the participant and the management running the former 'Evolution Wrestling Alliance' E-fed so I am clearly not saying this to be clever.
I do feel that there are some good story write up's on this board, all be it some not so clear to read but non the less, some good characters and great ideas.

1 ) The colour of the board makes it uneasy on the eyes, green on black looks cool but when everything is written in green it makes me want to look the other way and deprives me from the joys of reading the matches and promo's.

2) With the above mentioned, it would be nice if the way matches/ events are written, that each match were labelled so it is clear for anyone who wants to just skim past to their match up. Also to have the events written clearly and maybe in exchange of easy read colours?

3) I personally find the board layout confusing, it took a while to understand the Promo's page (role plays) and then to actually find my match. You could possibly have a listing of each event with a direct link to each match? or at least clearly labelled and  marked accordingly?


Again, these are not bad remarks, merely a friendly input into building a successful E-fed that is fun, easy and professional looking? So everyone, please do not slam me but reply with kind remarks and maybe correct me if I mistaken over anything?

I will quickly add that I have just noticed you can change the boards skin colour within your profile. I have done so to a crystal white, black and colour, this looks great and has a fab logo, I believe this should be what people first see and not the green and black,

1) The lime and black color scheme is ugly as sin, but as someone who's been here for a minute I can confirm that Seth (the owner) has no intention of changing it. EVAR. As you figured out, you can choose a different layout if you go into settings, so that's really the best option if you're not down with the default color scheme.

2) I'm not sure which browser you're using to view results, but you should see a Table of Contents on the right side of your screen when you click on the results page. This allows you to choose the specific match and/or segment that you wish to read.

Again, the color scheme is what it is, but here's a tip: if you right click and "select all" on your browser options, then you'll be able to view the results in a monochromatic white color scheme, albeit with a blue background. You could alternatively copy/paste the portion that you wish to read into Word (or whichever writing program suits your fancy) and change the color yourself.

3) Each board on the forum is labelled and has a description below the label, so I'm not sure what you're having an issue with specifically. If you're looking for the card and/or results, they can be found on the homepage wcfwrestling.com. The card is also posted in the match writing thread on the OOC forum.

I hope this helps you.

I think hes looking for " Courage V. Bartkowski" in the RP board. A lot of feds would give each match their own thread to post in within the promo board THAT WAY it's easier to find promos and see who no showed, rather than sift through 2 pages of promos to find that the Midwest Mad Man wen and no showed.

Unfortunately, Seth does not do that. You just gotta post your promo up and thats it.

Yeah well your blue text is hard to read on the black background. Boom.

[Justin 'Perfectionist' Courage]

Thank you everyone for your replies.

I am however still a-mist. I read an event last week where Justin Courage was faced off in a triple threat against Sinn and DEATH. This was good, clear and it was featured under WCF Wednesday night event. However, I haven't seen anything else about JC since, was I featured in Wednesdays write up? If yes, where do I find the match?

[Kaz]

Oh, Wednesday Night happens very sporadically. Lately it's been when we're on furlough and people still want to have something to do for the week, advance fueds, etc.

JC vs Death vs Sinn was the last match you were featured in, and our next card (Payback) isn't until next Sunday.

[Kaz]

Here's the PPV card btw, www.wcfwrestling.com/ppvcard.html

You are featured in the opening battle royal.

[Justin 'Perfectionist' Courage]

Ok that makes sense now, so it's a PPV not a Slam event?

[Jay Omega]

Correctomundo! 'Twould be a Slam this week, 'cept Da Boss is gonna be at the Rumble that night, so we was given an extra week to RP for Payback.

This is Slam. It is the weekly Sunday show. Not Wednesday night. Totally green.

I actually kind of like the green on black. Old school fo sho.

And yeah that blue on black is way harsher on the eyes.

[Steve Orbit]

I like the green. Its old school. But as its been said, there are plenty of skins.

I think the main issue in this post is he wasn't aware of the main site which is not part of the boards. I can see how that would confuse somebody.

[CD's Old Account]

Not if he read the triple threat match. You haven't done Wednesday Night in like two months right?

[Steve Orbit]

True.

I'll get the mop and bucket!

[CD's Old Account]

Well at least there's clean-up. Haha.

Alright, results and cards for Slam are on the website, wcfwrestling.com. Slam is usually up on Sunday, maybe Monday, card is normally up Monday night around the end of Raw.

RPing and all that stuff is on the boards.

Wednesday Night is a show Steve Orbit runs every once in a while, all on the boards.

Don't forget either, there is this Legendary event on each Friday the 13th that Corey keeps promising to post, but doesn't... hose teaser...

IT'LL HAPPEN JEEZ

[Justin 'Perfectionist' Courage]

So correct me again if I am wrong but the last post I see for night events was dating back to 26th November 2014, this is labelled 'WCF Wednesday Night 11/26/2014 ...


So where's the next schedule for this? ...

Plus last SLAM schedule is the event labelled ...

1/18/15 - Slam
Live from the Siegel Centre in Richmond, Virginia


Am I correct again?
