Feedback about GUI

[Mustey]

Hi maybe I should start with that I have autism and I tend to get annoyed by things that people don't usually spend time on :)
Also, I don't always manage to relay what I mean. So, please consider the following remarks alongside receiving my appreciation of the work done here, which is impressive overall and - hey, it's free! :)



Issue #1: That login confirmation message looks weird there and stays pretty short for reading, anyway.

Issue #2: What is this weird "ball" that, on every load of a page, is like "bouncing" a little bit and then disappearing? I know I don't always pick up really simple things but this just looks weird.



Issue #3: All sorts of forms (especially annoying in the registration form) are not using any borders for the input fields. It's very hard to enter data where the form asks for it. Also actually hard to even see that the form is asking for something, as, without a visible input field, it looks like a plain text label.

Issue #4: Error messages are not readable. It's kinda red on coral, which, at least my screen, doesn't display usefully.

Issue #5: What are these icons on the top right? I expected my "account-style" icon or a "Log In" link. I had no idea which of these is a "log in" icon and had to read the URL's being linked.
I guess most people just immediately see those as what they are but I like more explicit GUIs. Kinda hate how everything is becoming really "slick" and you kinda have to "know" already what you are doing... Makes it feel like an exclusive club and that sucks if you aren't in the club already :)

This entire theme is a custom theme that we bought. So some things can and will be tweaked as people inform us of their tastes.

That is more of a confirmation, but yes it looks horrid.

I think one of the other admins added this. But bringing it up to attention is the best way to figure out whether something is liked or not.

I could see this
