Changes in the works
Change is in the air at DannyStewart.com. In the coming months, there are numerous changes that I would like to implement in regard to the design and indeed the function of this site. Some of them may be closer than others, but most of them will require the input and assistance of our staff and member base. Any ideas or contributions would be most welcome. I will outline some of the changes I am thinking about below.
Non-portal-based main page
I would like to take down the current portal-based system that I have up on the main DannyStewart.com page, and replace it with a content-based home page. Suggestions for content would be welcome, as would assistance with the design.
New style for the forums
I must admit that I'm very pleased with the style this forum uses right now. From the day I first installed it, I thought it looked clean, professional, and elegant. However, in keeping with the idea of a site relaunch/upgrade, I think it is time to move on to a new look, assuming we can find one that meets the high standards set by the current style. I have always longed to have a custom-designed style crafted just for this site, but sadly I don't think we have any members who are proficient enough at HTML, CSS, Photoshop, etc. to make this happen.
New forum layout
I'm all about consolidation and keeping clutter down to a minimum wherever possible. For this reason, I think the current forum layout could stand to undergo some streamlining. Suggestions and thoughts in regard to what forums could stand to be merged with other forums or even removed completely would be welcome.
This is all I've got for now, but be advised that things are going to begin changing around here. Please feel free to make suggestions in any of the areas above and start thinking about what you would like to see in regard to the future of the site. Thank you all for your help!
