New homepage layout - "Older Discussions" and "Newer Discussions" links

nadreg · May 24th, 2008, 08:34

FYI -

At the bottom of the Latest Forum Topics listings on the homepage, I've added "Older Discussions" and "Newer Discussions" links.

Clicking the links will allow you to scroll through the latest forum topics without having to leave the front page.

Please post on this thread if you have any problems with them.

It kind of hung on my machine. I tried it twice and the graphic text "Loading" comes up but no older threads actualy 'load' or appear.

Do you have javascript turned off? Also, what browser/operating system are you using?

PeakXV · May 24th, 2008, 10:14

No - it's on. Perhaps if the 'load' of the application is memory intensive then an older system like mine may not be able to perform it.

PeakXV · May 24th, 2008, 10:18

Just tried again and it now works fine .... with quick transport to the earlier thread pages.

nadreg · May 24th, 2008, 10:31

Good to hear that.

machadinha · May 24th, 2008, 17:29

Working good here. I like the new frontpage lay-out at a first glance, btw. I think

ps Oh one thing though: Wouldn't it be better if those section headings would be hyperlinks to take you to those sections? E.g., India Travel Forum, India Travel Hotels, India Travel Journals.

nadreg · May 24th, 2008, 21:15

Good point. I've added "view all" links in each of the relevant sections, which take you to the appropriate content area within the site.

machadinha · May 24th, 2008, 21:31

Yes, better. Thanks

It does look good though (the new layout), wonder what others think of it. Except for missing what they were used to

The new layout is fantastic. The older and newer Discussions links are so so useful.

chAos · May 24th, 2008, 21:44

I like it.

Thanks.

Nick-H · May 24th, 2008, 23:00

Even I'm not complaining --- and I'm one of the biggest conservatives on the site! Change? Why?

But these changes speak for themselves, and they are looking great

machadinha · May 24th, 2008, 23:16

Heheh, no complaints eh. That would be a first

Well-done, Nadreg!

I think that main article on top randomly changes with each re-load of page (or at certain brief intervals, perhaps)? I like that.
