Suggestion: Portal Upgrades


Recommended Posts

Well, I've seen the portal and I think it can be upgraded a little bit. If you haven't seen the portal go to:

http://forum.yugiohcardmaker.net/portal.php

I have the following suggestions for it:

 

[spoiler=1. Make the Portal a little more accessible]

 

There is no navigation to the Portal at all on the homepage, I think if we upgrade it, we should also make it more accessible

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=2. Lower the amount of news]

 

I think we have to many news posts on the Portal page, as it goes on forever. We have 10 posts on the Portal right now. In my opinion, it should be lowered to maybe about 5. This makes the Portal so you have to keep scrolling.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=3. Add a third column]

 

I don't like the way we have to scroll a lot to get to the widgets we want. I think the search and forum statistics widgets should be on the right, as that is where my eye kinda wants to look.

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=4. Make the "Latest Threads" box more compact]

 

The latest threads widget is also making us scroll down a bit, too. I think it should have the Thread name on one line, and on the next line: the author and the author and time of the last post

 

 

 

 

[spoiler=5. Make the Portal like a second "homepage"]

 

YCMaker should have the Portal show up for users who are logged in and also when users log in. The normal forum page for offline users.

 

 

 

 

I know it will take some programming, but I think it's worth it.

>>>1 - i do agree that we need it more accessible. i had to go through my history to navigate back to it. I support this clause.

 

>>>2 - i agree on this, but it is not necessary. halfsies on the support.

 

>>>3 - not necessary again, but that would be nice.

 

>>>4 - i agree, it irritated me when i was looking through it.

 

>>>5 - i kinda like this clause, i would fully support this as a preference, something you seemed to want unchangeable.

 

 

 

here is what i would like done to the Portal: have a section that allows you to see your recent threads, comments on them, and so on. It would also be nice to allow you to see any PMs you might have, though they already have a working alert system for that.

 

i would just like a way that i could see if my recent threads have been commented on without having to search under my name. ;)

 

i support this idea, but i would rather see mine enacted, if that makes sense. XD

who the heck even uses the portal which means your idea fails

 

that is part of the point he was trying to make: hardly anyone knows about the portal and there is no open link to it. you would have to remember what it is' date=' or just randomly type that exact phrase. What are the chances of that happening?

 

And what he was saying that if we [i']enhanced[/i] the portal as of now it might become a popular feature.

With the speed of traffic on this site and the ridiculously easy accessibility of the news forum, I don't see much use for the portal at the moment. Modifying it to make it more dynamic would be okay if it got much attention anyway, which it doesn't (and for a fair reason - it's no better than the normal forum view).

This, only less harsh.
