Wanting your ideas for a different forum layout.

[Shaggy]

So I wanted to possibly change up the layout of the forum. I'd like to get more into the Generations and split them up a little better, especially the 1980 to 1996 Bronco forum. Any of you have any suggestions with that, or anything on the forum? Would love to hear some feed back.

I don't want this to look like I'm spammin the thread but I'm going to post each idea individually to make it easier to respond to.

One thing I had in a Need For Speed Forum in 2010 was a area to read Member status on the Home page.
For example:
Profile posts,


Were here on the right hand side and limited to 140 Characters. It was like a Twitter feed but for the Forum.

So you're wanting the new profile posts to be seen as like the new post section on the side bar?

Exactly.

Since we have a whats new tab at the top of the page I don't feel we need a side bar for Latest posts.

Ok Don't make fun of my MS Paint skills now but how about a Board Statics section at the bottom of the page?

 

[Skitter302]

For the Side bar what about adding B-Days?

ok, I'm done for the moment, going to bed.

Yo Bryan,
Suggest we somehow split Generations for example;

"Generation 1: The Original Ford All-Purpose Vehicle 1966-1977​

Generation 2: Bronco Goes Bigger 1978-1979

Generation 3: From the Trail to the Interstate 1980-1986
​

Generation 4: The Aerodynamic Age
1987-1991​

Generation 5: The Final Lap produced revised aerodynamics and styling. And was vehicle of choice for Rangers in the United States Forest Service and Border Patrol officers. 1992-1996

Maybe add a Fabrication section. Where we can Bragg on tools or share techniques on custom builds, this could include roll cages, bumpers, consoles, door panels, roof consoles, spare tire mounts etc.. know I’m not the only one with a fab shop

Can you remove the pop up ads, sometimes they hide content and menus

I win the top speed award for the fastest Bronco, still holding the land speed record at a stop light

That I can not do. That's more of a theme thing. Its already showing the stats on the side bar.

Perfect. The only issue with me doing this(which I want to do) is that we as staff would have to move alot of posts into their correct location. I would like sub forums in each gen section to, as in Engine and Performance, Interior, Exterior, Suspension, and so on.

Can you post up a screen shot of what you are seeing?

Bryan,
First, Second and Sixth Generations are in place now, but as we both know the others will be a time killer.
If we have someone establish a program to bundle the other generations together.... but...
Perhaps we can load Dealer Brochures, EVTMs etc in 3rd, 4th, 5th Generations sections and bundle 80-96 Ford Bronco Tech Support and 1980 - 1996 Ford Bronco in Ford Bronco Forum together as a sub category.

Got it, the pop up ads cover up the drop down menus. To me it’s very annoying, and they cover up part of the photos
