Constructive Criticism for front page

Draft Dodger · 01-30-2003, 05:26 PM

ok, I LOVE all the new features of the board - the quote of the moment, and the who's online feature, etc etc etc.

but, when I come to the front page in an 800x600 resolution, you can't even see the forum list without scrolling.

here's what I'd humbly suggest...

move the who's online to the bottom of the screen (if possible, it would be nice to see the totals and birthdays up top, and the person by person list down below).

also, Quote of the moment is enjoyable. any chance to move this from the front page to inside the general discussion forum? again, that would clear up some real estate from the front page screen, and place the quotes where (I think) people will be more inclined to see them and enjoy them.

my two cents.

I concur on the quote thingie...

dacman · 01-30-2003, 10:04 PM

I concur on the who's online thingie...

Daimyo · 01-30-2003, 10:12 PM

I agree with both suggestions.

i concur with andy, get with the times and bump up your resolution

Daimyo · 01-31-2003, 09:40 AM

Heh... I run at 1280x1024 and it still looks... uh... not optimal.

Bee · 01-31-2003, 09:42 AM

I love the new page, but... it asks for new logins all the time, usually while I am trying to send a new post, thus losing the post altogether. It happened on this one. This is my second attempt at sending.

Vince · 01-31-2003, 02:59 PM

I'm with y'alls suggestions

PS, if Leonidas keeps it up, he'll catch Quik in posts/day pretty soon

I tried to move QotM to Gen. Discussion.. but the quote code failed to even show up although I moved the exact code. Do you know why, Ryan, Simms?
