Change color of Report Button

EDIT: They did it!  big_smile

Perhaps to red or green. Many new Scratchers — and even experienced Scratchers — don't notice it. Take a look:

Currently, we have:

Report | Delete | Edit | Quote


With my suggestion, it would be:

Report | Delete | Edit | Quote


OR:

Report | Delete | Edit | Quote



Your thoughts on this?

EDIT: VOTE on Scratch Suggestions!

Re: Change color of Report Button

I prefer gray*...

* They're actually not using #808080 (gray) but #888888.

Re: Change color of Report Button

Personally, I like the gray color. The report button is there just for if you need it; I would find it being there in red text much too jarring.

Re: Change color of Report Button

i think it should be red cause it stands out better cause there was a time i almost reported a topic instead of editing it so i think this would help scratchers see the button  big_smile

Re: Change color of Report Button

Keeping it gray (or #888888 as mathematics insists  tongue ) is better in my opinion, as red (as Harakou says) stands out waaay too much and would disturb my post-reading  wink

Re: Change color of Report Button

Perhaps blue like the others. That way, it is still noticeable, and doesn't interfere too much.

Re: Change color of Report Button

Keeping it grey or maybe making it blue would be OK, but red just doesn't seem right to me.

I think gray is more noticeable than blue  tongue
It makes it kind of stand out because it's different from the rest!

Besides, if we can see it, it means it's noticeable enough. When someone truly thinks a post should be reported, they will look for the report link.

The problem is the people who don't realize that it exists. then they quote it and hope a mod notices. This way, they would notice it.

I still don't agree. The Scratch Team has advertised the report feature enough, in my opinion!

Where? The only threads I have seen about the report button is this, that I made because I didn't see anything else.

That's a lot of posts on a single topic!
EDIT I mean, that's a lot of threads about a single... thing?

Not even about it, just mentioning somewhere. I think. I didn't go read each one though.

I am personally against this idea,  it works fine just the way it is. There is really no need to do this.

Maybe just an aesthetic change, maybe blue.

Re: Change color of Report Button

The Report button's a bit hidden the way it is - and making it blue would sort of make it blend in with the other buttons. Maybe they could make it a bit bluer, I guess?  hmm

Re: Change color of Report Button

I say it should be changed to a shade of blue a bit lighter than the other buttons... red is a bit too dramatic  tongue  And gray makes it look all serious; I remember discussions about how some people didn't want to click it.

Blue ftw :3
