Nice design but it doesn't feel like I-F at all - will get used to the layout thoughπ....
Love the new logo....I definitely think it's a lot more welcoming to members who don't originate from Indiaπ³...
Like others have pointed out the GA's are being sidelined....many of the Dev. Team decide to make topics GA so as to catch members attention but I don't see that happening here....
I like how the channels are placed - side by side as opposed to on top of each other....
Because the GD section is so small; could we possibly place it a bit higher?....It's a wonderful part of I-F but hardly any-one is aware of it!....Also I think important sections like Rules and Avi and Sig shop should be somewhere where they can be seen clearly...
The simple colours are wonderful though!π
Overall; I can't wait for this new layout to be put in place!π³
Vijay Bhai,
I will skip what I like in this new layout and will list out only what I haven't liked in this new layout. It's an honest opinion for betterment of IF and I hope it wont be taken to heart as harsh criticism...π³
OK, here are the points :
Just looked at the new layout, Vijay and I have to say, it didn't appeal as much as our current one did. The current one is just perfect and this is what attracted me towards India-Forums in the first place. It is different, user-friendly, and...homey when compared to the other forums. I guess, if the change is really needed, it will be useful to keep the current layout and change a few things around.
Wonderful suggestions have been made by the members and included most of what I had in mind. However, here are a few things I'd like to reiterate.
1. Although the new logo design looks great, I really like the flag in our current logo. As suggested by one of the members, I like the idea of changing the colors of the 3 people (in the new logo) with orange, white and green. Also, I'd prefer the font stating India-Forums much bolder and in flag colors.
2. In the current layout, the GA stands out, whereas in the new one, I didn't even notice them at first. π€
3. The way each forum is listed under channels in the current layout is unique and user-friendly. In the new layout, clicking 'more information' tab to see the rest will be a hassle. I hope to see all the channels listed on the homepage.
4. I like the way GD is mentioned on the homepage so it gets the recognition it deserves. ππΌ
Although I am looking forward to the changes on I-F, I hope to still feel at home and not like a stranger in my own house. π
