New Forum Layout (2 Viewers)

[jhakka]

It looks better now without the dark blue.

I'm still a bit bummed about the extra navigating, though. Perhaps you could make a separate row for each subject area and show the main subject forums. For example (ignore the colours, by the way):

<table border=1><tr><td colspan=5 bgcolor=yellow><b>NEW SOUTH WALES (HSC):</b></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>English</b><br><font size=1><b>Subforums:</b> Area of Study, Standard, Advanced, Extension 1</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Maths</b><br><font size=1><b>Subforums:</b> General, Mathematics, Extension 1</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td></tr>
<tr><td colspan=5 bgcolor=yellow><b>VICTORIA (VCE):</b></td></tr>
<tr><td><b>English</b><br><font size=1><b>Subforums:</b> Area of Study, Standard, Advanced, Extension 1</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td></tr>
<tr><td><b>Maths</b><br><font size=1><b>Subforums:</b> General, Mathematics, Extension 1</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td><td>whatever</td></tr></table>

With that format it gives users the option of hiding the education forums for the other states.

Yeah, I was just thinking that...I second jhakka. Or alternatively, create a bullet point list of the main forums, with the sub dot points of each individual subject underneath, e.g.:

1. English
a) ESL
b) English Standard
c) English Fundamentals
d) English Adv
e) English Ext 1
f) English Ext 2

2. Maths
a) Gen Maths
b) and so on....

And so on and so forth for other forums

i dont like how when u go to "new posts" if i hav just read one it still comes up bold if for eg, i was the last 1 2 update it.

 

[zenger69]

it gets really annoying with the sub forums being displayed underneath the main forum and it gets hard find where you want to go.

But other than that it's alrite.

I liked it the way it was.... who else wants it back that way?? Sorry, the new layout just doesn't do it for me....

 

[PrincessSJ]

in the university forum... do the sub forums change according to last post time???

i think thats whats happening... i really like the new layout.. you can see heaps of stuff.. but im not sure that i like that changing all the time....

also maybe.. in the university - general forum i noticed there are some new subforums... maybe an education one?? it'd be interesting to find out how teacher education programs happen at other uni's..... just some thoughts....

 

[badhairday]

i think it looks alright.
it'll take a while to get used to though, now that its all split up

 

[demosthenes]

it would be cool if the most recent post has the post title, who it was posted by, time etc AS WELL AS the forum it was in?

 

[sladehk]

I like better the way it is now. But maybe they could add more sub sections like a "computer help" section in IT

 

[doingHSC]

I hated it b4, but now I'm used to it, so its all good.

 

[richz]

Yep, it took a little time getting use to but its now all cool
