    Forum Layout Organization

    Over the past few months we have heard many users ask for a clean up of sorts on our main page. We have researched and have implemented phase one of our re-organization plan, while this is a drastic change it provides a clear and precise layout that is easy to follow. During the next few days we will make modifications and tweaks based on your comments and our internal discussions.

    We would like your thoughts and comments on how we can further improve and provide a more direct and clear navigation system for our forums.

    Please keep your posts constructive as non-constructive discussions will not lead anywhere.

    Re: Forum Layout Organization

    If you do not like something, tell us why and/or what you would like to see instead; if you like something, please let us also know why.

    The more "why" we get rather than "I like it" or "I don't like it," the more that we will be able to understand and adapt.

    Thank you for your input!

    Re: Forum Layout Organization

    Why is the whole forum layout shrunk? Why not keep it similar to the way it was before in terms of having it dynamically adjust to a visitor's screen size? Imo, the former layout was better that way.

    Also, could you please tell me what specific things users have asked to have cleaned up?

    With the exception of the shrunk size of the forum, everything looks pretty good.

    This is true for me, as well. For this reason, I preferred it as it was before the changes; I'm not keen on the large amount of unused space that there is when the browser window is maximised.

    In case it's helpful to know, my screen resolution is 1280 x 1024.

    Re: Forum Layout Organization

    We're looking for feedback, and questions make it somewhat difficult for us to go through.

    In this thread, would it be possible to simply let us know if you like/dislike something and why?

    We'll answer questions a bit later - we were hoping for input at this stage.

    Thank you for asking your questions, though.

    I was just about to say that I hadn't noticed any layout shrinkage, but then I realised it's because I'm using the Kubuntu theme.

    Re: Forum Layout Organization

    I agree, I like the new layout, except for the large empty whitespace on the sides.

    Re: Forum Layout Organization

    this takes up a helluva lot of vertical space, too. I don't have very much screen res, and this is horrid :/
