The site should be HSI (High Speed Internet) friendly and LSI
(Low Speed Internet) friendly. This also means only one site, not two, i.e.
one for Flash and one for others. This makes some people feel left out and
can cause loss of site traffic.

Echoing the above, to me the current design of Lugnet is very LSI friendly
and logically laid out. In my opinion this makes Lugnet one of the great
sites (similar to Yahoo and Google) and Im by no means unique in my opinion.

You are right. The current LUGNET site is very LSI friendly. I enjoy coming to
this website not just because of its content but also because I dont have to
wait five minutes for a page to load unlike the LEGO site.
|
Lugnets greatest strength is that without waiting or taxing bandwidth I can
enter and quickly find what I want. On this basis I would actively discourage
messing with the basic formula.
|
Again you are right. More than likely everyone here likes the way this site is
designed.
|
Predominantly, I use Lugnet to view (an occasionally take part in) discussion
groups, read lego news, research sets etc. and a basically text based
interface is ideal for this.
If I want to view a pretty, graphically heavy and therefore slow interface I
can always visit www.lego.com
Therefore, liberal use of javascript is good as are some icons but placing
masses of pretty graphics and flash movies everywhere will just slow down the
experience without actually adding any real benefit beyond asthetics.
By all means freshen up Lugnet but please dont go overboard or mess with
