New Website Layout

[olebigtallone]

I don't like the new layout. The drop down menu's disappear behind the content on the homepage. The home page content doesn't seem as useful or as populated with information without having to go to the drop downs either. A few adjustments and it can be better. I hope more of you can offer suggestions to make it better. As it stands now, I think the old layout was more attractive to first time website visitors.

Re: New Website Layout

I disagree. The new design is cleaner and I prefer not having the home page stuffed full of different pieces of information. Not to mention the old design was showing its age.

I have had no problems with the drop down menus.

I agree with olebigstallion I don't like the homepage at all. I thought the old layout wasuch easier to naviagate.

I agree also. Too little information, for me, to be a Home Page.

Re: New Website Layout

The home page lacks a link to "Today's Posts", which has caused me to visit the forums less frequently.

The Picture of the Day appears with a link below it to "Back to Clothesfree Forums", with a link to, unfortunately, www.clothefreeforums.com, with and "s", which doesn't work.

It is pretty quick to get the the latest posts. Just click the FORUMS link on the blue ribbon to get to the forum. On the forum's main page, click the Forum link, and you will see a link to the Latest Posts.

I have noticed this too and sent Corky a PM. He will be able to get someone to fix this. I believe that this happened when the site was losing posts all of the time recently. The link you referred to did work in the past and just sent you to the correct (no "s") forum site.

Re: New Website Layout

That link will be fixed now. Thanks!!!

Re: New Website Layout

Forum Administrator, FYI

The avatar images not being shown after the first three avatars on

• Recent Posts
• Active Forum Topics
• Groups
• [And maybe others]

May have something to do with the avatar or image "Extension"

The error I get when looking at a missing avatar is: "The Image is a "jpg" with an incorrect Extension.

One of them asked me if I would like to change the extension, immediately changed the extention to a .jpg and the avatar displayed correctly.

I will be adding that link shortly to the forum dropdown on the front page. Thanks!!!

"Today's Posts" has been added to the Forum drop down section on the CFI home page. Any other suggestions?

Yes,

• Bring back the the list of members online on the home page like it use to be instead of just the #XXX of members and guests online.

  Yes I know with many steps you can go to "Forums""Quick Links""Who's Online" but its a [PITA] Pain in The As.! Bring back the "Online Users" like it use to be above ON THE HOME PAGE.

Re: New Website Layout

Hi Gary,

The old way: Users online, member and guest count, names of those logged on, most users online count.
The new way: Users online, member and guest count, most users online count, names of those logged on.

It is currently available by simply clicking on Forum and scrolling to the bottom. As for changing it to the way it used to be, it seems to me that it displays the same exact information as it used to, it just looks slightly different.

As mentioned several times, Fix the Avatar thumbnail Boxs not showing the posters image or selected avatar.

I will look into this.

Thanks for the feedback Gary!

Yes I know, but it all use to be available when you opened CFF on the Home or Front Page.

Now requires to go to Forums, and Scroll, and/or go to Quick Links, and Who's online which is another page and 3 extra clicks... Oh while, Not a big Deal, we will get use to it.

I'm also anticipating the day CFF Forums gets a decent "Photo Gallery". The current one really sucks with out any:

• Introduction
• Rules, Terms of Use
• Index
• Search, by Member, Album Name, Picture Title, Subject, Text, Comment, Date/Time
• Recent Posts, Albums
• Editing
• Photo Enhancement
• Resizing
• Adding to, Moving, deleting
• Slide Show and sequencing Features
• Changeable themes, backgrounds, arrangements
• The list goes on and on; Just go to other vBulletin Forums sites and look at the great Galleries, Photo Albums, and features.

There are several great 3rd party add on Photo Galleries, Photo Albums that integrate seamless with vBulletin Forums Programs and Software. If I find some I'll post the links on this thread.

Re: New Website Layout - Missing Avatar Thumbnails [How to get around Problem]

Until CFF Administration Fixes the missing "Avatar Thumbnails" of the Posts or Recent Posts, You can Hover over the Box to see which member posted and/or Click on the Square, and that will take you to the Posters Profile Picture if they have one.
Close the tab to go back where you were or Recent Posts.

I don't see any problem with any of the links you provided and I clicked them all. What exactly is it that doesn't work? I see an avatar pic next to each post right below the date, time and name of the member making the post. Can you post a screenshot for me and make it clear what needs to be fixed? Thank you!!!
