The Staff Lounge has updated the visual cosmetics of its forum layout to help improve user interaction and give members more control over their accounts and their profiles.
Advertisements Reshuffle
Advertisements will no longer be hounding content just below the navigation bar; and have now been moved to move user friendly positions; to the right of the logo - the bottom of threads - and on the left of the forum index page. Guests also have specific advertisements too.
Sidebar on Forum Index
Now, instead of taking up too much vertical space most of the Who's Online table segment has been moved over to the sidebar on the lefthand side of the forum index. This should allow for a better viewing of new threads, new private messages and relevant quick links to guide you around the forums.
New banner, logo design
We are currently trialing the implementation of a new logo for The Staff Lounge; although colour coordination and the finer specifics of the modern, sleek and unique design have yet to be defined i felt it was relevant to allow guests and members alike to become accustomed to it.
Links of Interest
The once "Partners" table has been visually revamped to not only display more links, but also to allow for easier viewing of the links registered. We are currently rechecking all those "Partners" for appropriate linkbacks - those without have been removed.
Special forum icons
As you are no doubt aware, forums in the
Internet News and
Forum Resources catergories have been applied their very own forum icons to help give them a more definitive and interactive view. We would like your feedback on these icons - size, relevance, etc ...
We hope you like the new additions as much as we do
