The page looks really busy hence a member wont be able to make up what to look at and what not to look at.Too many tables and sections might confuse a newbie.
My views are exactly the same as Anu.
This new layout seems to be like many other other forums and discussion boards on web. As in, its quite similar. If we have something different and unique that makes us stand out in the crowd, i guess that would be better and more appealing.
Active users list - at the bottom of the main page, currently, that actually makes the main page look bright and colorful and adds liveliness.π So I'd suggest that we keep it on the main page because then catching a fellow DT member or anyone else also becomes easier.
I-F's new logo - seems nice but again can we make it a bit more colorful? As we cannot use the Indian flag we can surely use the color's of the flag for the tag 'India-Forums' instead of making it completely blue.
Mini Video Section - at the right hand corner where random videos are shown (in new layout) can we have the most currently uploaded ones shown there? And will we be adding title to it like 'Random Videos' or 'Videos' as a subtitle? Because just like that it makes it look a bit messy.
Flash Player - Will it be there in the new layout or not? It helps a lot in figuring out whats currently happening on the forum if you tend to pay a visit after quite a few days. Would be somewhat helpful for the newbie's too.
Lastly, as we are used to the site now and are aware how it functions, with the new layout we need to ensure that its user-friendly and not confusing for the 'newbie's'. If its not then this way we tend to loose members as most of them just register and then don't log in ever again because they get confused and cannot figure out how the site functions.
Thats all from my side for the time being. I haven't gone through the thread so i might be repeating myself. So, sorry for that.π³
I loved the new look of the site..π.everything looks very professional and kool just that we can shrink the space given for New user and informing about videos (the blue space) and should use it to advertise tellybuzz and Bollywood ratherπ
about the channels we shoudl include all channels and if we are less on space then it should icons of only popular shows from that channel this will save space as well.
Everything else is Rocking!!π
