Question

The NEWS Page


I'm trying to evaluate the features on this board in an effort to make it as useful as possible.
Does anyone use the NEWS page? (link on the sidebar to the left)

If not I will replace it with something else.
If you don't use it what would you like to see in its place?

Thanks,
Nathan

Re: The NEWS Page


So, after looking at the links what did you think. I know I need to change them around and add some better content.
Any suggestions?

Very Interesting. I didn't even know Yahoo had a feature like this. I will have to inspect more later.

Links page is very basic, I would put a description of what each link is. I'd also fancy up the page so it's layout matches somewhat more.

Re: The NEWS Page


I think the biggest problem is that they are overlooked because instantly I am drawn to the posts on the board.

The board will go through an upgrade during the 1st week of the new year. Once that occurs the layout and navigation will be much better. Those 5 buttons will go away.
