Front Page Format

[jeff]

I'm tinkering with the front page. Any thoughts on what should be there? I've just changed the layout to show "recent threads" and "latest posts" Which would be more useful?

Other thoughts on the front page layout most welcome

I prefer Recent threads. For a little while it was "recent activity" (I think), I didn't like that

Actually it would be nice if there were more threads listed (currently there are 8 when I view on my desktop), I could go for about 20. If this configurable by user?

I have been clicking "Forums" "New Posts" to get where I wanted, so this seems similar.

I think a big ad in the middle with multiple video pop-up advertisements around the outside would be a great money maker for the forum. Each of the pop-ups should have volume set on HIGH to enhance the experience.

How I have missed the strike-through font!!!!!!

I liked the block with the threads from the sales/vendor area, if you could add a third one back?

I'm planning to do that. I need to first exclude those forums from the main box, which I'm having a little trouble doing.

It's not configurable by user as near as I can tell. I bumped it up to 12.

Like the 12 over the 8 and also like the Recent Threads with Latest Posts below. Now I feel like I can tell what's new and what's not.

Jeff I like the new Front page setup the best. It has a lot of the old site feel to it

Also I am now able to come to the site and signed in. I do not have to sign in every time. Not sure if this is what did it but I did not click on the box that says stay signed in. I just hit sign in. Whatever it works now.

What is this thing Reaction Score???

Instead of random photos, you may want to make this a "best of" photos and use only the photos you have used in the past on the front page.
I would assume you can link this to the "front page" album, which would make this an easy transition.

But then, I have been wrong often on my assumptions about software!!!

Good suggestion! I'll put that on the list.

Maybe a combination front page photos and IAP Collection Photos.

Just logged in. Haven't looked around yet.
But, How does one get to the library?

 

[Wayne]

Found it!

Now how does on change our control panel.

Do we support HTML, BB commands?

I'd like to see a Library link on the front page.

Also, items listed in library shown are very old. Appears to have lost newest ones.

It is not showing the latest tutorials. Ex. Bushings and Tubes link is not current.
