Change In The Forum Order

Miles · 01-31-2005, 07:56 AM

We have had a several of our newer members express concerns about trying to find negotiat the main forums page to find key information for a new user and finding it only after looking at everything else first. This would include the section for new members - the layout is not friendly to our newer users.

To that end we have moved the ABXFILES forum group to the top, moving everything else down one notch. This puts the New Member Zone, News and Announcements, Feedback, and Reviews and How To Guides at the top. We want the forums to be as layout friendly as possible to both our verterans and our new members.

Nice & very thoughtful indeed !

Thanks Paragon for acting so fast on my suggestion

I guess I missed this thread somehow and as usual when I logged in I scrolled to the bottom to find the news and stuff and it wasnt there!

excellllent

We had moved that section to the bottom because new users were posting in the feedback section.
Now that there is a new member section near the top, we are hoping that will provide a cure for this.

Let's hope so and let's hope New Members use the Forum - even if it's just to introduce themselves

*Bofinn* · 02-08-2005, 03:19 PM

Can we change the order in the ABX-Files? I suggest:

News and Announcements (or new member first?)

New Members Zone

ABXZone.com feedback

reviews & howto guides

front page polls

abxzone.com projects

Sticky Graveyard

***Ozzie*** · 02-08-2005, 04:33 PM

I've been thinking about that too Bofinn...

It has a better flow to it and appears more orderly...

Great suggestion!

PCBruiser · 02-08-2005, 04:37 PM

Consider it done, if CJ and/or Paragon don't like it, they can just change it back easily enough. Should be done in a few minutes - good one Bofinn, that order readlly does seem more logical.

Edit: Check it now Bofinn.

*Bofinn* · 02-08-2005, 06:14 PM

Thanks guys - much better flow...!
