Love the new splash page! Hope it gives some of the other forums more traffic. Lots of neat ideas and events going on that might get a little more love now.
Loving the new format. I can do a quick view of the latest topics of interest in the other forums before settling into the general one. Also like that it explains right up front what should be posted in each of the forums...much better! Thanks for the update! :)
Ha! I totally called this when I made the userscript. Anyway, I think it'll be better if they displayed more than the first three posts, especially when on forums like General the sticky threads can take up all three spots
I like Boom and Bust's better. It has a New Topic button next to each header. It also uses buttons, which are easier to see (and prettier) than links. B&B, please let the staff take your idea EXACTLY! :)
Also: maybe have an option that is set on the forums page about how many topics to display for each?
For example:
I want 3 announcements posts, 8 general posts, etc.
I prefer Boom and Bust's version as well. I think it looks nicer and is more user friendly. +1 to Klikini's suggestion, perhaps also with the ability to customize the order of the sections.
I think it could work better in a more compact way with two columns
and five or six threads by section
Anyway nice change, especially for the announcement part!
(Still thinking player "events" need their own page(s) on the site though,
with connections to the calendar, profiles and game mechanics...)
