Actually, I'll propose what I think would be the best menu structure for this site, feel free to ignore or take any ideas you like. [b]Top Left menu (under the asylum logo) possibly in this order:[/b] [b]Forum Index[/b] (Formerly just 'forums', which I realise makes sence in the forums/faq divide but the forum is the heart of this site, the faq is a supliment, this help establish this pecking order) [b]FAQ[/b] (no change) [b]Archives[/b] (no change) [b]Join/Sign Up/Create Account / New User [/b] (Formerly register: which is perhaps a little too ambiguous when it's not used in any sort of context) [b]Top Right Menu (where the This page's ID: XXXX):[/b] [b]Member List[/b] [b]My User Profile / My Cell[/b] (perhaps only displayed if the user has the "remember me on this computer" cookie set, if this is at all possible) [b]Quick? Changes[/b] (The use of "quick" seems odd here, as it refers to a short period of "time", not "speed" as the word quick suggests. Perhaps this could be called "recent" like the last asylum and we could find a more suatible name for the other, perhaps "Extended Change Log") [b]-- Line Break --[/b] [b]Search box[/b] (See above). Note : Shift "This page's ID" into the "Topic:" header like so: Linkwords ? (Page 1 of 1) \| ID: 21346 [b]Topic Header[/b] [Title and Backlink] [Links to thread Pages if they exist and not in full thread mode] [Page ID & Link] (Left Aligned, possibly shouldn't state page 1 of 1 if there is only opne page, but I suppose it doesn't hurt, it just uncessary) [Display Full Thread -- only shown if there are multiple pages] [Create New Thread] [Reply To This Thread] (RightAligned) It would also be nice to have some kind of individual user options that could set things like the "always display full thread" or how many entries to display per page etc. Perhaps as an option in each users "cell" ??? The bottom menu's are difficult because they prvide such varied information that's hard to group. The "changes" section is simple enough and repeating the search ber down here might not hurt anyone. I think at the moment the whole footer is a little to compact to be as usefull/usable as it perhaps should be. There's quite a lot of well structured information you could put down here and I see no reason to keep it all squashed up. A full search bar, longer and better descriptive text on the links, menu category headings (changes, adminstration etc...) and re-introducing the drop down lists to jump to other fourms would be nice, as would the previous and next thread buttons, which should also be included as relative <link> attributes for those with browsers that display link data. On the topic of relative link data, it would also be nice to set the "help" link to the FAQ index (maybe, maybe not), and including non-standard (ie, non-common) links would also be a good idea, one that links/points to the archives would be nice. And that's about it, for now. Like I said before, take or ignore whatever strikes your fancy. [small](Edited by [internallink=2879]Cameron[/internallink] on 04-15-2004 15:53)[/small] Loading...
