| (...) Looks sharp! I would be quite pleased with this design, especially if "Top Stories" were listed at the bottom of the page. That's the feature I use most. A minor tweak I would make would be to list the links at the beginning of each bullet (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
| | | | | No logo fest, please. (was: New homepage for LUGNET)
|
| What I like best about Suzanne's design over some of the other proposed here, is the absence of a visual logo fest. Hower great looking each (community) logo can be, twenty graphically unrelated logo's on one page make an incoherent design and are (...)

Very true, but I've found that simply specifying the correct doctype for pages works like magic, at least on modern browsers: <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "(URL) Using this works amazingly well - the results (...)

With some slight updating to fit all of the new great sites out there I believe this would work well. (...)

It was actually used quite a bit, but it saw almost immediate abuse when people discovered that they could mark posts as zero from people they didn't like, just to be mean. Internally, it was represented by a (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general)

| No, the first thing a first-time visitor sees should tell something about the available places to go -- not display only icons. Icons are not language, they are little puzzles that you have to figure out. (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)

I've done it and it's nuts. Unless you don't care if (...) (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)

The more that can be done via CSS instead of dynamic content on the server, too, the better. --Todd (21 years ago, 20-Feb-04, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.publish.html, lugnet.general, FTX)
