Hi everyone...
In the interest of improving the site all the time - I've been wondering if the home page to our forums would be better looking like the below screen shot...
then the forums specific to each category are displayed on the next page...

Am I just being to fussy and wanting everything to look pretty when it's fine as is? Or would our forums benefit from a spruce up?

Thanks in advance for your opinion!
Ang

:) Thanks Katie,
don't worry won't be getting rid of them - too much valuable information available to mums from other mums in here:)

so...do you think that not having all the links from the forum home page is okay? (to all the different discussion) and it's clear what you're going to get when you see these images?

not a big one Nellennium - is there anything you would like to see changed?
We're looking at changing colours etc but the software we use doesn't allow us to do much else unfortunately and we can't change as we'd loose all the conversations over the past 13 years :( :)

Fair enough, it works well enough for now.

Would be good if the text reply box resized to fit screen instead of running off. Also having the smilies open on the same page instead of opening a new window. I'm sure there's other things but they are the ones that are the most annoying, oh and the option to see signatures

Do you use forums through a provider?

Ah yes. Using from mobile now and I can see what you mean. :)

We use software we originally started the site with and get all their updates but the updates aren't exactly life changingly Awesome :) but good we have a mobile version and it's easy to use

Hi Angie,

Yes this more visual version of the forums is wayyyy better to look at visually. Way more enticing to read than what it is currently like. Personally I think the whole site really needs a redesign, but thought I'd better not mention that when we spoke the other week.
