[Brad P]

Hell no, I'm just here helping out, Cam is still the Dog. 😛

Funny you posted about it, we are looking at doing a smaller slider for this up top.

Good, we think alike 😛

I like the new layout so far. It seems a lot more easier to navigate now. I always thought the way it was before was kinda "cluttered". It was harder to follow certain categories & sections. This looks a lot better! Keep up the improvements 🙂


slight edit: I think it would be a good idea to remove "Share this page" from the sidebar, as it is already at the bottom. I don't personally see a point in having it twice so close together.

site is looking very tidy and I must say @PGen98 congrats on being a big dog on the site 🙂

Aww, thanks, Brad 🙂. All credit to the team, of course. None of this happens without them 🙂

Noble? you are a big dog too, congratulations to you too mate? are you the owner?

Noble's the driving force behind so much of FP 2.0, a true warrior!

You're right, I never considered the fact that the social buttons were also in the footer, making them superfluous in the sidebar.

Cool changes! The grid layout has grown on me, especially now that there's an even number of forums in each category. Looks much cleaner.

When we get time we can do a toggle, so users that like the standard format can switch.

Yeah now it just looks way more tidier.

Looking good, and I have to agree with the grid being even, it looks a lot better.

Could the Redirect Auction and the Community Spotlight be one category?

My only complaint is the entirety of the above the fold on mobile view, doesn't include any forums.



Even on tablet (Attachment image) the service blocks take up a lot of space.

Maybe use a flex grid to shorten this. (Second attachment) so it looks better on smaller screens such as tablet.

 

[PGen98]

Eek, yeah, that's not a great look on mobile. Something we'll definitely look into!

 

[John]

Yeah, I completely agree with Jordan about the upper fold. I normally use FP on my phone and it takes a solid scroll to even be able to see any content. Maybe a way to collapse it?

 

[PGen98]

Working on that very thing 🙂

it appeals to new comers, clean and simple and is easy to direct them when welcoming them to Forum Promotion!

Yeah now it just looks way more tidier.

Agreed!

We may just shut them off for mobile.

I like them the size they are, but that's just my opinion and all.

We are looking at moving them into a slider up top, they will be a little smaller.
Same slider cam has on DH
