I need some feedback.....

Postby J Gallo » Thu Oct 19, 2006 10:55 am

As noted in other threads, I've been working on some new stuff for the site. Well, I've got one feature uploaded that I'd like to get some feedback on.

It's a "portal" for the forums. One of the things I haven't totally liked (but did for a variety of reasons) is when you click on forums, it opens up a whole new window. This new forums portal will work within the site structure to minimize open windows. Also, it provides a couple cool data points like top poster and random user info. There are still a couple issues I need to work out but I'd like to see if it will be useful and if people like it, before I spend a ton of time on it.

You can access the portal here:

UtahBMX.com Forums Portal

Thanks for your support, and feel free to forward any comments or suggestions you may have.

JG- Awesome layout. It's much more comprehensive than the last one.

I think anything that would direct people to the Discussion boards with a click on a huge Icon, rather than a little word link across the top of the page of many choices is on the right track. :)

(kids, this is an example of a run-on sentence. They are encouraged in college, but not in Jr. H or HS! ;))

Thanks again for all you do! If all we (they) had to do is give you a bike to get you pumpin' out great web work, we would have done it years ago!

;)

It's always been great JG!

See you Saturday?

Gallo, the portal is cool but a little skinny and tight, especially in 1024x768; is there any chance you could set the width to 100% to accomodate all of the resolutions people have? Just my .02!

Trav,

Yes, Definitely!! My site structure is currently set to 800px wide, but I know this needs to change. Currently over 70% of the people that visit the site have a 1024x768 resolution, so all the pages will get a wider overhaul.

This is just one of those issues that I need to resolve. :)

I am the sicko that is running 1920x1200 on my laptop. Now that I am nearing the big 4-0 though I have noticed that my eyes are starting to rebel. Still, I agree that allowing 100% will be great. After that the portal will be a good thing.

You have come a long way Mr. UtahBMX. Good job!
