On the new layout

Postby WhiteHeron » Sun Jun 24, 2007 9:01 pm

I really, really like the new little introduction thing at the top! Nice work! :D

But I also really, really dislike the extra boxes to the right. :( They make the whole index look cramped, not to mention inconsistent with the other parts of the forum. Can't you just have a "Latest posts" and "Unanswered threads" button at the top like some forums do?

Thanks very much for the feedback. I'm a big fan of the features on Opera's forum and wanted to replicate many of them here. The first post in a topic has been made more distinguished and your own posts have been highlighted so you can easily see where you've replied. I also made the link to the first unread post in a topic more obvious.

I'm glad you like the intro. I felt something for unregistered users was in order to briefly explain what Inkscape was.

I purposely replaced the links to active and unanswered posts in favour of what will be a short list on the home page. I actually feel the formum list on phpBB is a little bulky and carries too much unnecessary detail. What resolution is your monitor?

I would appreciate any feedback or opinions others might have about the recent changes.
