New Layout Sucks - WickedFire - Affiliate Marketing Forum

BlueMendicant · 06-16-2007, 11:53 PM

From a usability standpoint the lack of "sections", or whatever vB calls them, makes the form look cluttered and difficult to read. I would put them back into related sections...that just makes sense and makes it all look cleaner, etc.

Just hit new posts. Problem solved. Thanks for the feedback.

I am new here but personally I like it.

WF does not have so many sections that it MUST be broken up like ABW.

That forum seems like it never ends, it just scrolls and scrolls. Recently got longer too.

This is actually the original layout. You're just so new that you never saw it before.

^^ Yeah that!

Jon modeled this forum after GFY.com and those like us find this design more usable. Usability is all about getting used to it.

I changed it back and put the topics in order of overall popularity and activity.. I just like the simpler form. Don't like it? Leave.

"inspired by".. they changed theirs around a lot, but I always loved that basic layout with the dark colors to match our sense of humor.

LOL but I am planning to go on a "eat excessively" strike (I can't afford to go on a Hunger Strike

) till you setup a light colored theme too.

I don't find that 12 forums warrants categories, maybe if we ever ended up having 20-30+ forums, but this shit isn't exactly confusing to browse through.

maxor · 06-17-2007, 03:34 PM

tis good.

John · 06-17-2007, 05:49 PM

I like it a lot better this way

Jan · 06-17-2007, 07:32 PM

I guess I missed the change while I was gone. Glad when I got back everything was as I remembered! Home Sweet Home.

jeff01050 · 06-17-2007, 08:19 PM

Seeing th GFY.com link again combined with alcohol convinced him to go register 4QM8.com but he registered 4YM8 the first time....that's my take on it.

edit: o'yeah...glad to have the old layout back.

Lee. · 06-18-2007, 04:51 PM

Layout is tight. back to how it was...I think because a few have been floating on and off. This one is good. At least the forum jump is back..it seemed like it was missing . I thought the change was because of activity, simplicity and allows people who visit to immediately see the Rules of Engagement

Layout, smayout! It's all about the KNOWLEDGE!

It'd be interesting to know what was the exact part that confused people
