Trouble with paid ads is while they provide the money, if fewer people look at the site, they won't want to advertise, so if the ads dominate the forum, we end up with a declining spiral of death. Or something.

I have to say the old site is superior in appearance, less clinical, easier to read. I am happy with advertising, but the overall layout of toe old version is just more easy on the eye, and easier to navigate. I usually can see the benefits when things get updated, bit not this time.
I hope we can have some of the old features back, and something that does not look like the white clinical wall I stare at all day in the hospital. Andy

How do we look at just Dinghy News rather than wading through the keelboat dross?

The new format is pants.
It looks messy and unfinished when I view on my laptop, and even worse on either my tablet or my phone (both running Android and using chrome browser). I get loads of numbers, then ads and finally if I'm lucky I can find the actual article. The forum also is harder to view. At least the old version although small could be zoomed on to press the new posts button. Mags and Mark, I like change but this is not a good one. The articles have to be the focus. |

Personally I don't mind it being freshened up, but graphically it is unfinished, it needs a 1 or 2 pt keyline separating the ad column and the main title bar from the forum content bit, I'd also put a tone 20 or 30% block over the Forum Home member posts to Newposts log out group.
The Eye is confused at the minute with the blue heading block centred then the forum header bars being ranged left, plus they have a predominace of blue tone in tone which is nice, but the along come ads in all manner of conflcting colours so you really do need to keyline separate them, and there endeth the lesson in Graphic design.

LOL... Merlin Mags, if you actually want some professional advice. Pop over to my Design Consultancy Website and drop me a line. You won't see a lot of digital on there because that's not what we aim at. But SONY and others have been very happy with the digital creative I produced for them. www.clearthinkingcreative.co.uk

"Bad news travels fast, good news travels slow" seems to hold true.
How many days has this last remodelling been in place? Looks much better to me, somehow meatier with more visual weight about. I can't say about tricks and features as I can find all I want without difficulty. One question, photo uploads? I haven't tried recently but in the past it has been a tortuous and sometimes impossible process.

The forum is unchanged as the new look is mostly around the edges of the forum. Thus photo uploads work in the same way.
I know uploading isn't perfect, but I thought it was satisfactory at present. We are planning to upgrade the forum after other critical projects have finished. Sorry I cannot promise anything any sooner. |
