Just a simple suggestion for the future of clan info pages everywhere - let us equip a scene to the page!
The default image is of course the elemental background it is already, but it would be really cool if, in the future, we could have that bg change to whichever scene we choose to equip/apply!
(Also, this thread comes with basic UI format edits/suggestions. Note that I am Not a UI designer and have no idea how to build a UI, but I dooooo know how to make something pretty.)
I include two edited mock-up formats below, which are:
*Please note that mock-ups are simply messy edits of the presented mock-up and are. Well. I tried my best.
Each image links to the full screen version (FR site layout)
Edit: updated with more or less finalized mock-up-edit versions!
[ Previous mock-up history (tumblr post) ]
Also: if you want to muck around w/ it, here is the PSD for my edit.
Basic (as previewed but w/ tweaks.)
Changes made:
Widescreen/Condensed
This would be -approximately, roughly- equivalently-sized to a vista’d dragon bio.
Version notes:
Mock-ups currently utilize the rose garden arches scene from the Valentine’s Day cluster of items, as well as the blooming grove scene.
(This could be especially awesome if, in the future, some of the areas on the map get scenes of their own !)
It would also be awesome if there were two (or multiple, maybe play with reorganizing the widget space?) base profile page formats to choose from as a user, ie. widescreen or the basic “as previewed” mock up (with tweaks)
(In addition to adding scene as the clan info background, an option to switch between exalt pillar BG and the elemental userpage BG would be quite neat - it would also be cool to borrow coli bgs!)
Note: the gear icon is. Meh. Would love a subtler icon.
Any further suggestions for edits/formatting tweaks are more than welcome! I’ll do my best to consider/implement them.

(Xhaztol has already confirmed that there will Not be a box in most cases for clan info, but I include some translucent white space to indicate the area.)*Please note that mock-ups are simply messy edits of the presented mock-up and are. Well. I tried my best.

Changes made:
• reordered recent forum posts to be the top option
• condensed recent forum post listings to include more most recent posts (5, would love to *choose* how many to display)
• squished the comment bubble a little to make it less. Unnecessarily Big.
• I left the “active” icon in for the sake of less empty space, but would take it out, personally speaking. (I don’t want to know whether anyone else is active. It introduces feelings of “maybe they’re ignoring me” if I poke at someone while they’re “active”)
• clan info area is a little more white to reduce possible text-eyestrain from scene. (Putting the scene at a better gradient and at less transparency could also fix this possibility - currently displayed at 30% opacity.)
• I didn’t put a bio in. I could put one in, but would have to think about it/design one.

Version notes:
• Removes redundancies + includes birthday instead.
• Beefs up Recent Forum Post section by including a higher quantity of recent posts (at the cost of knowing which specific forum they came from)
• Flight watermark from the lair tabs on the user widget
By request:
• Beefs up Recent Forum Post section by including a higher quantity of recent posts (at the cost of knowing which specific forum they came from)
• Flight watermark from the lair tabs on the user widget
• Once again includes the flight flag, placed with the lair location.
• Some white space behind the info area to reduce text eyestrain.
• Filled out (relatively) as though it were my own (wind) userpage (bio assets by poisonedpaper)
• Reduced displayed friend quantity in favor of bigger “faces” (icons). Could add in usernames as well.
