Sorry for moaning a lot lately ^^

  • +1 for adding the energy ratio, much better than the +/- numbers
  • -1 for adding the owner to the list.

Behold, WaLL oF TeXT. And this is only early in the month, with no fat numbers yet..

The list is too wide and the columns that matter - the numbers - are too close together, it's not easy on the eyes. Plus the flags of the owners now suggest clans are related to countries..

Suggestions:

  • Remove owner - the list is about clans, no need to show people at this stage. Plus the country flag is associated with the clan.
  • Merge wins/losses/ratio into one column. Especially ratio attracts a lot of attention at the moment, while it's a useless stat for the clan rankings. It does literally nothing.
  • Give energy ratio it's own column.

energy ratio doesn't need to be in its own column.

-1 to Jans. Owner has always been on the list...

The owners are there to stay. They've indeed been there for awhile now (from the start I believe) and that's because I want being a clan owner to be special and I want players to associate clans with their owners. Having to see the owner's name every time you look at the clan rankings helps accomplish this.

As for the column changes, I would consider removing wins, losses, ratio, and energy altogether in the interest of not displaying relatively useless stats (at least in terms of ranking).

Well something was changed besides the energy ratio. Where the flags added?

Font's the same size i think, but it looks like padding has been reduced by a lot. If you disable .tight td { padding: 1px 3px;} it pretty much looks like before.

Changing suggestion to:

  • Remove flags. Saves width and stops clan=country association.
  • More focus on energy columns instead of win/loss/ratio columns
  • Restore padding

Yep, several changes. From left to right: gray text for rank color, trophy images next to appropriate ranks, flags next to owners, alignment for members/NC counts, smaller platinum card and less margin allowing rows to take up less vertical space, and obviously the energy ratio stat replacing the energy offset stat. No font size change though.

I'd like to keep the flags. And I like the tight formatting better than the spaced one. You can see more ranks without scrolling and I find it easier to quickly scan the table without the padding too.

I'm not against dropping wins/losses/ratio though.

Drop wins and losses. Keep ratio.

Really? You prefer new look over old look? Because then we're from different planets :)

Yep. And I was pretty sad I couldn't do that to bot lists too because of logos. :)

What if when you hovered over a row, it high lighted it? I think I might make it better. Also, if it had a floating title it would be better.

I prefer the old layout too Jans as it's clearer, crisper & less cluttered.

Perhaps removing the Wins/Losses/Ratio would allow for the padding to have it get a little closer to what it was. Compromise is the key. ^^
