Quote from: SlowPokemon on May 17, 2013, 04:21:32 AMThe "New" button does take you to the specific post, so either you aren't a waiting long enough or there's a problem.
Ah, it must be a fault from my part, thank you for the clarification. :)

Quote from: Jamaha on May 17, 2013, 05:59:41 AMThe problem with multiple skins is that not all addons installed to the forum necessarily work with them. I'll keep that suggestion in mind anyway.

No worries, I wouldn't want to shove even more work on you, especially when I don't have much of a clue as to how to go about altering the site formatting. Like I said, I'll get used to it eventually.

The archive/trash can forum is helpful to keep "spam" away, but this forum seems to be pretty well organised IMO. After all, the members make a forum site what it really is.

@FSM: Those are really cute smileys. ^^

I just realised I made a typo in my previous post.. gah, whatever!

Thank you for the welcomes! :D

@CLBGM: Glad to hear you also enjoyed the game! I was actually a little confused at first by your comment on the Passaj piece, but then realised that you may have been talking about the second version of the town's theme? The track that I arranged is played earlier in the game and has a sadder and slower melody (b/c of the change to a minor key) and was much easier to arrange because the two parts divided perfectly into both hands. ;)

@JDMEK5: Wow is all I can say! Thank you so much for taking the time to go through the three sheets. Not everyone would want to use some of their leisure time to help fix a random person's arrangements, though I suppose that is what goes on around here! I understand the theory now behind all the points that you've made, so that is a good start, hehe.
I was recently working on a fourth piece that was a bit more dramatic and fast-paced, but the note groupings and rhythm confused me in so many places. You (or somebody else) are probably going to poke me for neglecting all the fine-but-still-very-important details. I have never had much experience with 12/8 time, so I still need to re-organise all the notes. *sigh*

I do realise that I am (obviously) completely new to the site, but since you are planning on updating I might as well add some things that were on my mind. At least this might help the planning go a tiny bit further in your head :) (or disrupt it... you never know).

♦ I don't know about everyone else, but I find a lot of the font sizes to be way too small, especially in proportion to some of the other fonts. I don't think it is highly necessary for the quoted text to be so minuscule; most people would not type so many lines as to go over the default height of their post, so what reason is there for "saving space" like that? The menu bar at the top can also be made larger, it looks to be about the same size as the default font.
♦ When I click on a thread that has new replies since my last visit, it does not redirect me straight to the new post(s), is it supposed to do that? I sort of assumed that if you click on the "New" icon it would "snap" the screen to the first new post. It would be wonderful if I wouldn't have to scroll through the page to find the newest post (while reading all the small text on the dates). Even adding a little "star" or a bright little icon next to the date of the unread posts would help immensely.
♦ I'd also find it helpful if there were several different skins to choose from. For example, sometimes I find it more soothing to the eyes if there is a darker background (ie. dark blue) with white text. Even a darker main background with the current theme would frame the posts nicely, I think.
♦ More options to fill in on our profile pages, perhaps? Even something as simple as "Your Preferred Musical Instrument" or "Occupation" would be fantastic. Just so that we may learn something basic about the other members instead of having to figure it out by reading all the posts.
♦ One last thing - you can never have too smileys. :P

If I stay around a little bit longer, I'm sure I would become accustomed to the layout, but at the moment it has been quite awkward.

*glances around* This looks like the best place for me to start at.
Thought I'd stop by and say a cheerful "Hello!" How awesome is it to find a forum community that combines music and video games together?  ;D I only found out about this site just last month, and have been lurking around the forums for the past week or so.

What brought me here? The Golden Sun arrangements, actually. I've been a fan of the game series for years now, and very much enjoyed listening to the soundtrack. I was surprised by how many arrangements have already been submitted, and would be increasingly happy if I was able to contribute to it, at least a smidge. ;)

My musical knowledge only goes as far as allowing me to pass the Grade 8 Piano exam.. plenty of space for improvement. I only recently found out that I am actually able to arrange pieces, and when you already have a MIDI to work with, it is a breeze!

So, yes.. this looks like a fun place to be at. :) Hope to stay here for a while and get a sense of what this place is like.
