slight re-design of home page

Check it out and let me know what you think, in the center you'll find the last 15 threads, pulled from every forum on the site.

Re: slight re-design of home page

Not bad matty - I was always a fan of the news wire going down one side since that's different from discussion. All in all not bad though!

Re: slight re-design of home page

Keep in mind the changes aren't necessarily permanent, I'm just messing around trying to see what works and if we can make the home page more user friendly. I'm already getting PM's asking for the 'old' look back, please be patient while I work out some kinks, thanks.

I like the thread links down the middle. Can see things quicker. I did like the news wire too, though it wouldn't be bad if the news wire links were included with the thread links.

Re: slight re-design of home page

Can you reduce the number of latest threads and put the latest News Wire threads below them?

That sounds like a pretty good idea. Maybe 5 thread links and 5 news links?

PS - I'm only suggesting - not complaining!

Re: slight re-design of home page

how about now, latest threads running down the left, news wire in the middle, so it's basically just the opposite of the original look

Re: slight re-design of home page

I also personally liked the site the original way. I know a lot of people don't like to participate in the parking lot, that can clutter up redskins news. The news wire descriptions are kinda useless simply because the only content most of them have is the link. Either way, I have no problem clicking forum and browsing like usual! 8)

Re: slight re-design of home page

One other odd thing that happens is I'll post, it'll say server busy, so I wait to post and then it turns out it actually did post. Not sure if that's something controlable on your end.

Re: slight re-design of home page

I kinda like the news in the middle, the link is right there and you don't have to click on the thread link first to get the link to the story, that could probably save us some bandwidth

Re: slight re-design of home page

I like having the threads in the center and the news on the left. I think having the intro to the threads is nice, while the titles to news articles tell you enough about them to know if you want to read them or not.

If I had a vote, I'd vote to put it back the way it was.
