Casper Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 Right now, we have the following sections on the front page:Left column:Site NavigationCalendar w/list of birthdays and upcoming eventsWeatherCurrent PollCenter:User CP/welcome blockRandom album photosRecent threadsRight column:Buddy listSponsorsSo my question, do you like it the way it is? Would you like anything added/removed? I'm thinking about removing the "Site navigation" area and putting any links in the top navigation bar. Also thinking about getting rid of the buddy list unless people actually use it. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks guys and gals! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 In terms of usability I'd prefer the nacbar stays.I'd like to see the buddy list tied into threads, a la "recent posts from your buddies"...Weather is cool, I'd actually prefer the hour-by-hour goes in place of the 3 random images and move it to the weather with 1 random image.But a better question might be "what's the goal of the homepage?" I've only outlined how I'd prefer it from a usability/web experience standpoint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 nooooooo, I use all that stuff, the way it is. maybe something, but your changes are.... aggressive. you're just a hacker, can't leave anything alone... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted August 4, 2009 Report Share Posted August 4, 2009 How about either doing a new posts at the bottom or a button to click for top of page? Sucks to scroll down and then have to scroll up to click the new posts... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RC51 John Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Keep the buddy list.Move FAQ to the Site Navigation listMake Site Navigation a drop down where the FAQ was.Add like 10 more to the Recent Threads list.Regarding the 3 pictures. If upon page load all 3 pix were uploaded by the same member there should be lights & whistles or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likwid Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 I'm sorry but I deal with the "if it ain't broke don't fix it" all day everyday.You have to adhere to the "nothing's perfect, let's improve" model or you end up 10 years, months, days, down the road going "man we really need to update this".

jporter12 Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Front page? There's a FRONT page? I think I have my bookmark set to the forums list page!I might like more entries in the recent posts list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Likwid Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 Just to bring a little "corporate" to this...I bet if we did a click analysis you'd find 90 percent of users click the same 90 percent of the front page... you'd probably see the same thing in terms of eye trackingJust saying the key is to maintain the functionality people want with the features and incorporation they don't yet know they want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
