New site design
« on: February 18, 2004, 06:06:48 PM »
I just thought I would put in my opinion on the new site layout.  I don't like it.  I like the content, I just don't like the layout.

-I think there is too much "white space", or empty space on the page.  I can't see as much as I used to be able to see.

-the Amiga.Org logo at the top - I just don't like it, i think it is mostly a waste of space.

-When I visit a recently read forum post it seems to always take me to the VERY END of the thread by default...that is kinda lame IMHO.

Again, the site content is great, I just don't like the new design.

I wish I had time...but I have a full time job and a new wife....that equals zero time :)

No but seriously, I understand the reason why they moved to the new design, and I am sure it will get tweaked over time.

Wayne: Sorry I looked quickly for an existing thread but I didn't see it right off the top.

Still learning the new layout I guess.

No problem, everything takes a bit of getting used to.  Eventually everything will balance out.

I don't have a problem with the site, but Please may I have a latest posts link :-)

It would be nice to have it after the FAQ link on the top bar.

I've noticed a lot of new and useful features added to the forums, but bloodline is right about the latest posts link. It should be present on every page, and I mean every single one. Design itself is OK, IMO, and I am getting used to it, but a little more blue here and there wouldn't hurt. :-)

Guys?

Please stop harping on the banner.  We like it, no one else does.  We got it.  We understand.  We hear you!  We're currently working on a new one which should resolve this issue (and I will bet most of the kvetching as well).

Just have patience.  I have to go out of town this weekend, but will try to have something by Monday or so.

Everyone should use Opera, but that's just my opinion.

The header reminds me of WB 1.3, just like my old A500.
