New Homepage Layout
- Thread starter Niall
- Start date
Can't remember. The ad I have now is a bit smaller so it's ok at the moment.
Would have really liked an option to be able to close or at least collapse everything on the side. Not sure I like it.
Sure I would get used to it in time. But changing my bookmark to https://www.redcafe.net/forums/
Because you can't reach a specific forum easily enough? Did you typically just use the Jump to Forum list when you came to the homepage?
I guess that's what I did. I think I rarely went to a thread through the homepage. My changing the bookmark is solely down to the lack of feeling of being at redcafe.net with the new layout - but it does seem more functional
The grey, red & white palette is still there so it's peachy.
Juggled a few things around a bit and added the Twitter feed and forum stats to the middle column. That will occupy some of the dead space for now.
Like the implementation of the twitter feed. Looks good.
Don't know if everyone else will have the same issue but for me the thread list is below the fold and have to scroll down to see any threads due to the massive advert.
EDIT: Different advert now, a horizontal one, which looks better. Vertical one shoved everything down though was wondering where I was
Yeah that vertical ad from your screenshot is something I haven't seen on any of the browsers/devices I tested. I changed the ad code so you shouldn't see it again. If you do, let me know.
Excited with all the new changes, it's a huge leap from the old Vb
Much easier now, and specially love the alert function. Ace! brilliant shift to Xenforo

Very nice, like the twitter feed, I've even got a retweet from my moment of positivity before the actual football started last night 
Is there the ability or room for an RSS feed for all the latest news ?
When he goes I wanna see it here first

Thanks. It looks good and thankfully it still stacks nicely on a mobile screen. Good work Niall
All these changes, I'm scared Niall, I'm scared.
Hold me.
Hold me.
With things having been left oriented for so long the new format might take some getting used to, although i do like the return of a poll to the homepage.
The only noticeable probelm arises with my iPad, i've just taken a quick look and there appears to be a void in the centre of the screen as the thread list has squashed along one margin of the page.

Like the new lay out.
Top job!

I bought a non contact voltage tester from Fluke, one of the best things I ever bought.
The Home page now looks a bit cluttered, I think. Something similar to Facebook. (Sorry )
The most important part has been squeezed into the left hand side. I feel if the list on the right hand side is shifted to the bottom, it might look better. Just my 0.02c.

No ad for me - just a massive blank space above the threads list?
@Niall
All the ads are totally destroying the homepage. I've got ads on the left of the threads list, on the right and one huge one on top which is essentially sending the thread list way down in the screen.

With Adblocker, the homepage looks fine.
I'm going to sort out the size of the ad on the threads list. You should be only seeing 2 ads, but you listed three?
Yeah, 3. One of the left of the thread list, the other on the right below the poll and one on top of the thread list.
There should definitely only be 2, one above the threads list and one in the centre column. Screenshot?

[/URL]And this is when the one on the top is a small ad, when its big, the thread list just goes way too down in the screen.
The thread list ad should not be big now.
That left column is not this site. Possibly some kind of related content extension in your browser?

Really liking the new look, thanks for all your hard work Niall....
Now...if could now just re-position some of our players so they are playing in their rightful areas, that would be grand.......

Okay, cheers.
I've just realised I haven't been going on the General, Entertainment or Current Events forum because I keep forgetting they exist due to the the panel being moved to the right. Which in turn has made me post more football related stuff.
Are you guys trying to give me a heart attack? I was lurking at the homepage and all of a sudden a crazy trailer for Infamous Second Son pops up in full volume out of nothing.
layout seems to go missing. Apologies if this is from my side
I like the new look, well done! The only thing is that I always find myself searching at the left hand side for the menu

Yeah that's a bug I need to sort out. Logging out and back in should fix it for now.

I'm thinking of moving the forums list to a tab in the threads list and getting rid of the right hand column completely, integrating the other sections on the right into the remaining two columns. The new layout does feel a little tight at some resolutions.
Really? Ads with videos should definitely not play automatically. Are you sure you didn't click on on ad?
Please take a screenshot and send it to me if it happens again.

I was browsing a different tab at that very moment so I couldn't possibly have clicked on an ad. I'll take a screenshot if it happens again.
