New Forum Layout (2 Viewers)

[tactic]

So what do you guys think??

I know it will take a bit of getting use to, but it was the best i could come up with to make sure everything wasnt clutered with the indroduction of Victoria.. If you have any suggestions please let me know!

marek.

Thanks guys, great work once again.

hmm i think it looks a bit odd, like something's missing, but only because we're so used to the old layout

where you've listed the subforums for the "education" section - maybe you can space them out onto two lines for HSC and VCE - just to look neater

good work though reks!!

It's.. different.

One nitpick I've got is that for subjects with a traditionally low candidature, eg. French, would it be better for there to be one Languages forum, with a French subforum, which then has a HSC/VSC subforum in it for specifically HSC VSC related stuff?

Yeah nice job. It'll take a while to get use to but that’s to be expected. After looking at all the humanities subjects Victorian students can select from I wish I lived in Victoria. They look pretty good compared to ones we have.

im finding it complicated...
it looks like somethings missing
but o well
i guess it will take getting used to
im prob jus used 2 the old look

There are still some changes to be made to the forum over the coming days, so bare with us. Any feedback is welcome.

 

[stargaze]

just a thought..

would it be possible for the forums displayed to be chosen by the user?
i.e. each individual user has a choice to select a 'favourites' type of thing displaying only the forums that they want to see.. making it quicker etc

thanks

Is there a choice to permenatly expand the sub forums?

or at least split the tertiary studies in the universities, rather than just one link.

EDIT: i don't like it too many clicks....

 

[fatmuscle]

will be working on that.
it's been thought of b4 we started working on it

 

[bubz :D]

hmmm just a comment, it looks really cluttered here:

(dont hit me, i know you've been working on it for two hours )

 

[lukebennett]

its good, just need to get used to not being able to see as much on the opening page of the forum.

i think you shud space out some bits a little bit though as other people have said (just for aesthetics ). otherwise i think its great

 

[goan_crazy]

was there any warning of this
i was shocked
didnt expect it
i thought some1 had hacked the site at first
but then realised i had 2 go into HSC

 

[Supra]

its all good...takes time to get used to it and also stargaze's idea of a favourites thing is quite good

 

[= Jennifer =]

it is alright takes some time getting used to....i have been here to witness a couple of makeovers to BoS and they are always done for the best ...

you could already click on the arrow on the right to hide unwanted forum groups in the old design anyway.

I'm not a fan, but meh.

Perhaps it should have been left as before, with just a subforum for the VCE

I like that idea

I was abit surprised when I just came onto the forum. Takes a lot less scrolling lol

 

[malkin86]

The clicking the arrows thing can hide too much...

yeah, that's what we had before but bos is expanding to victoria as well... gotta try and fit it all in without making the index page too long :\
