Would you like a new homepage and 'News' section?

On Dogsey, we have updated the homepage so that latest news can be posted by members - what do you think about having something like that here?

http://www.dogsey.com

All news is posted by members who have been registered for a little while and have a number of posts under their belt. It's not too different to posting news on the forum, just those threads will go into a nice news section

Here, on over50sforum we could label it 'In The News' - and it's where you could post news which you feel is worthy of being promoted on Over50sforum (a short paragraph, a quote from the story, and the link). It's proved pretty popular on Dogsey

We'd still have the list of latest threads on the right hand side and we could add a featured threads section too - so very similar to the Dogsey homepage.

The forum homepage we have now, would still be here, just added to the top nav in between 'Home' and 'Control Panel' as 'Forum'.

Not sure when/if I'd get time to do it - so it all depends on how interested you all are...

Please let me know what you think

Re: Would you like a new homepage and 'News' section?

I like the look of the Dogsey homepage so yes ...why not ?

I'm all for improvements in anything and if it involves the actual members getting a front-page posting,they'll think they're famous. Lol !

Seriously though,some people say "anything new doesn't mean it's better". I used to say that but am wiser and say "give it a try 'cos you've nothing to lose"

Yes and anyone not wanting news instantly (like to check on our own members before national news) you can like I do with dogsey not save the front page as a favourite just save the normal forum page, thus ignoring the news until you have checked on you friends.

Not really Azz - I like the format here, also - we have a current affairs thread. So, see no real point to it, that's me though aint it

I'm not that keen, Azz. I like the current format too, and we already have a current affairs section.

I'm used to how it is here. If it's not broken, leave it alone I say.

Re: Would you like a new homepage and 'News' section?

I have a question, on the dogsey home page at the moment is a news story that has given rise to a nasty spat about who said what and twisted words (I am not involved ) but do we really want a page that could lead to disagreements being first thing people see ? Cause we have to be honest here they do happen from time to time, no point in trying to say they don't IMO.
