Cleaned up: Forums Home - Let us know your thoughts if any

H all,

We've cleaned up the Forums Home Listing page (Zerotohundred.com - The Automotive Lifestyle Network)

To simplify and speed up loading times, we've:

Removed all forum icons
Removed the forum tabs
Trimmed its length by combining and removing some forums

Let us know your opinions if you have any. If you think this is a good move, please say so too

thanks
Tom

Nice. It loads significantly faster!

My only request is could you colourize the words in the 'user bar' (black in colour just below the ZTH logo on top) like it was in the past? I think I got so used to the old style it took me a while to find "New Posts"

Probably due to my old age

So help an old man? *coughcough*

Not sure if there is any significant difference in terms of loading time. Probably cause I'm on UniFi. But a bit here and there, no doubt.

Forum homepage looks a lot cleaner now. But I kinda prefer the old one where the homepage published the few recent replies of topics. I find that user friendly to track topics.

izso: thanks, do you mean just the "new posts" link?

mr.jy: thanks, what about the "Current Discussions" bar on the right? it does the same thing. was the one that was removed more convenient?

Tom : yeah. if you could highlight the words "new post" in green or something like in the past

ok..just agree with iszo...that "new post" button should be on different colour for easier guide....

and wanted to ask about this...only happens on 1st post in every thread....

**l2s_turbo** · 02-21-2012, 01:20 PM

Yaya i also notices that.. a bit confused at first..

**autocrosser** · 02-21-2012, 01:57 PM

I guess it does loads a bit faster.
I like the previous "New Post' section as it gives a preview of the post. Not a big fan of that new thing that appear in the thread starter section. I was confused as well when i first saw them.
Regarding the poll, i would be in the "no strong opinion" category if there was one.:)

that has been fixed, can you confirm?

Not a problem, it is a good link to highlight

Oh! I didn't realized it's located on the right now. Much simplified, but it'll work
