My Feedback on the new site design.

Two points.

1) The new quick link box on the left;

- disfigure the look of the site. (Threads' list got smaller)
- Puts the big ass ad the comes with it in the spotlights. (Not subtle ads)
- Quick links? What's the real purpose of it? It's pretty much useless.

2) Like mentionned before, the content of the ads;

- They have nothing to do with airsoft.
- Credit score ads are still present.


I wanted to wait a couple of weeks before saying anything. I wanted to wait until the changes where pretty much fixed to avoid commenting on things that wouldnt last or would just be temporary.

Now, I know this is a privately owned site web and that I could just fuck off if I don't like the way it is but I wanted to state my views anyway. Honestly, I was ok with most of the changes, beside what I said in my second point. However, the big banner on the left that follows, what I think of a useless, quick link box pretty much disapointed me. It might sound exagerated but in my mind, this demonstrate pretty well where ASC is heading at. Looks like what was at start a few ideas to support ASC might just get transformed in something less helpful and less innocent, maybe.

Speculations aside, this big banner takes all the view space and is not needed. Even more so that it displays credit score and related shits. Please keep the design simple, the yesterday's version was perfect.

Thanks you,

Agreed. I came here to complain about the new quick link box to the left that is super anoying. Even on a 22" monitor, it's very anoying, I can't imagine on a small 15".

THANK YOU.

That column was the single most annoying thing to change with ASC.

Thanks Harley. Much better now that we can disable the side bar.

Also, just a suggestion - using a smaller font in the side bar might make it a bit more useable.

Also, putting the extra thread title at the top of the screen on one line rather than taking up 2 spaces would be nicer.

Category > Thread title

rather than

THREAD TITLE

Category

It's a little more complex than that... we're using H1 and H2 tags for the title so that google and other search engines index us more completely, which are block elements, not inline elements. I think I just figured out the CSS to make it right, though.

Nice. Looks better on 1 line now. Still looks redundant from the client perspective though, since that same info it already available at 2 other different places on the page.

But Google should be able to have the same level of indexing by using meta tags rather than making it displayable elements on the page. Should it not?

Huh, the new threads list on the front page seem to be listing all new threads, even the ones in the private forums.

Nope. Looks like I'm seeing infraction forum and CAPS, at the very least.

Yes, Google picks up meta tags, but having them reinforced in H1 and H2 tags will increase exposure of the page topics.
