No I am impressed with your endeavours but I'm not liking the new layout.
Takes more clicks to get through & I reckon too many of the categories have been subgrouped, as well as not showing all last posts in each section.
I've only just seen this thread I thought there was a poll? Can't see one.

Furry muff.

There was a poll, wtf?

Ah....

One mo.....

Ok, what requires more clicks? You can click on the sub-headers on the front page the same as before.
It shows the last post for each section now, Recent tab no help for you on that?

Can I suggest we try this layout for a couple of days.
('recent', will be your friend if you can't bear it that long)
If people can then identify what it is they like or dislike about it then it would be easier to refine things to a final layout.
Then any vote would be a properly informed one.
Often it's not until you actually see what's being proposed can you formulate a reaction/preference to it.

I will say that's a fuckload of re-organisation that's been done there so ta for that oi.

Never used the recent tab so it's all a bit weird to me.... that takes another click!
I suppose it doesn't take more clicks though if you use this recent tab (I've still not looked at that, but presumably it just tells you the top topic of each section?) I do think it's been subgrouped to death a bit though..... that's a lot of extra space on the main page now going to waste.
Not to wish to sound like a moaning, ungrateful bastard.... just my opinion. Happy to see how it goes for a few days as Feather says & re-evaluate it then.

Would the poll you were thinking of be the one at the top of this thread SB?

Would that be the poll that has only just reappeared after I mentioned it?

Aye, as much feedback as possible from old and new please.

The poll disappeared because I'd moved the thread to a new subsection and hadn't ticked the polls active bit

This is what happens when you outsource the tech work to greek forrinz innit.

It's actually fairly intuitive how it's done. Still needed to be a bit tricksy to get the order wanted but did it.

And tbh I personally like it because it will make any future reorganising and/or filing away of threads much easier, although there is quite a backlog

I'll refrain from voting until it's been tried out for a bit. I have a feeling it may create some issues for some but see how it goes.

Had a look and I think you've done a grand job for just one nights work...

I say we give it a chance... see how it feels... but I would say that seeing as I always use the 'recent' button

Plus, as a general rule nobody likes change to begin with... a week from now it will be old news already

So like I've implicated in my thread in vent...you at least understand your new lay out.....that's OK....I'll just stay in 'stealth mode' until I get to grips with it....
*goes off to darkened corner and sucks her thumb*

I like the idea that instead of having "news zone, members zone, politics & finance zone" we have "zone 1, zone 2, zone 3" etc. or even "zone news, zone members, zone politics & finance."

Just an idea.

Why does it make a difference if the word 'zone' comes before or after the category 'news' 'members' etc..

Well it should!

Give it a fortnight or so and the fact that changes have been made will be largely forgotten!
