Forum:Forum revamp

< Index | Site-related discussion

How do you feel about this? It's more like traditional forums, obviously it would work better with more categories, but I think it's more usable than the current layout. -- Nx / talk 20:26, 28 August 2010 (UTC)

I like it, more compressed too on the front end. Might need a SB post to get more attention. tmtoulouse 19:51, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

It's got my approval, Nx. The Goonie Punk ^{Can't sleep, clowns will eat me!} 20:11, 29 August 2010 (UTC)

As long as that feed on the SB keeps working, fine by me. I just go straight to them from there. ħuman 23:44, 31 August 2010 (UTC)

It's a nice evolution of the concept. Certainly better organised now the forum section has some content. ^pathetic 00:12, 1 September 2010 (UTC)

So, yeah, anytime you want to do it Nx, looks like there is no dissent... ħuman 17:11, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Ok, done. Do we need any new categories? -- Nx / talk 19:13, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

Religion? Books/movies etc.? Debates? Is there an easy way for people to just add them as needed? ħuman 20:34, 5 September 2010 (UTC)

It's slightly more complicated than the old one, but only because of the extra table syntax on the main index. You put a new row into the (inner) table wherever you want, and put {{Forum category|Pointless discussion}} in it (like this). Then click the link to create the subpage, once that's done click the two links there to create the preload and the expanded/combined view. Optionally, create a description using the link that appears when you hover over the name. -- Nx / talk 21:04, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
