[Suggestion] Improved voting page.

  1. I'm not exactly sure if this is the right sort of place to put this type of suggestion but here it is.
    I think the voting page is fine, but I just think that this tiny improvement would be beneficial to voters in general. There was a system on a different minecraft server's website that when you clicked the voting tab it brought up a popup page that had all the sites you could vote on open, where when you clicked the right or left arrows add either end of the popup it automatically brought you over to the next voting website. Voting was much quicker and easier on that server than it was on emc. Maybe it's just a mental thing... but I liked it. :p It's a little hard to explain what I am suggesting... but that's my suggestion.

  2. I don't know, but I wouldn't have any problems with it if the current system would still work the way it does, since this doesn't sound useful for people that, like me, vote for multiple accounts...

  3. You have to take into consideration that the website is not made by them, So they would have to see if it would even work...

  5. im not 2 sure it would be easier. now i click a button, opens in new tab, i vote & switch back. then click on next button and it opens in same tab. and b/c buttons change colour u can quickly see what sites u voted on.

    also important is that vote page works same way on laptops and also cellphones.

  6. Those types of voting pages don't work well on cellphones and tablets. Just computers. Many people might be offline voting, they're not at their computer but they vote from their phone so they don't lose their streak. Plus, I'm not sure if our version of XenForo can support that.

  7. We used to have this and I'm planning on readding it at some point - I just need to figure out a way to do it which doesn't crash chrome half the time (and also still marks the button as voted on). This'll be disabled on mobile mainly because I really don't have the time to work out some way to make it work properly there.

    I can't promise every site will be available on this system since some of them do not allow us to show them in iframes (Planet Minecraft disables them IIRC).

    Old system will still be there, just the toggle button'll come back. The vote page is already different on mobile vs PC so there's no need to keep it entirely consistent.

    If you remember which server it was, please PM me so I can see if they've found an efficient way to do it. :)
