Hi all,

please see former discussion here: http://news.lugnet.com/announce/?n=3369

Thanks to all who were contributing ideas and suggestions.

So here is -without much fuss- the 6th draft of a new homepage:

http://www.lugnet.com/index-test-6.php

Known bugs: Upper header section isn’t displayed correctly in some browsers (but should be correct at least in IE and Firefox). I’m working on this.

Please post again comments, ideas, suggestions; I’d like to read your opinions.

Leg Godt!
Rene

(...) Rene, this is really coming together nicely. My few personal nits... The alternating background colours on the top stories links seems to just add clutter and detract from actualy reading the links. Is it really necessary? The text for the (...)

(...) Looking nice! I agree that the alternating background colors in the top stories section is not needed, and that the boxes on the left and right should all have the same background color. I also think the vertical spacing in the center column (...) (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

  Re: New homepage for LUGNET part 4
 
I haven't yet commented on the new design, but now I must say I that I like the most recent revision (#6?). I miss the quick links to deeper levels of the newsgroups, however -- they're on the current site in the lower left corner. I hadn't (...) (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

Rene- In my version of Firefox (the most current one, I believe), the SCLTC story still photo drops through the divider bar into the story below and forces the next story headline to the right. -Ted (18 years ago, 21-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
  Re: New homepage for LUGNET part 4
 
(...) Rene, great work so far. I am 'REALLY' gonna miss the old homepage of LUGNET. Honestly, I don't know why or how much change needs to be done? I know the new look will not please everybody. So far, I have compared each draft and the current (...) (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)
  Re: New homepage for LUGNET part 4
 
(...) Rene, I like the direction you are going with this as well as the openness of the process. The one thing I think is missing the the set reference popup in the search. I find it a handy tool when looking for a set. I have always preferred it to (...) (18 years ago, 22-Dec-06, to lugnet.admin.suggestions, FTX)

It's a familiar word for us veterans - but for newer visitors, a definition would very helpful to add context/completeness. Either make it (...)
