What do you think of this hack???

The index page would look really different so that's why I'm posting this first. Threads like 'Your VGC history' would go on the index, ie COOL threads where you actually make INTELLIGENT replies!!! :D It would be a great way to get for example, those that visit just a few boards to see cool threads on other boards which might make them start posting on other boards.

Oh crud! I made a thread with out being a wacko! :(

I think yes. It's something that's actually useful, as opposed to (wacko).

Which has the potential to be useful.

And by the way, the hack seems great.

That's what the forum I previously burned all time time on had. Well, it was a WebAPP, but similar principal.

I'd say do it.

No. Look at the live previews. It basically turns the forums themselves into a little sidebar on the main page with featured posts on the right taking up the majority of the space.




Posted by Draxamus

Yeah, if it's like the previews show, I definitely don't like that look.

Oh lord, I only just saw the previews. Definite no.

It's normal, but click on 'Featured Threads' THEN you get it, though they just show the categories, while the normal version also shows sub-boards. Any one who wants the normal version could just click the link at the top to get that.

It might get some people to actually post INTELLIGENTLY *gasp*, hoping there thread would make the featured list.

:::Definite no.

Um, look where you're listed in the poll!!!!

It could work, I guess.

It looks better on the coders site.




Posted by Shade

I like the idea. Go for it.




Posted by Draxamus

If you must go with this idea, at least have a regular version available. I am rather attached and used to THIS.




Posted by The Judge

Psh, no. (annonymous statement about my vote)




Posted by Vampnagel P. Wingpire

Yeah, I've been thinking about doing this for my forums. It wouldn't be so bad.

I knew he was faking!!!

But even so, the hack seems pretty cool.

Does the username hack not work anymore?



Posted by The Judge

If it doesn't, then bright days are up ahead. I was so sick of username hack.

Let me double-check how this would work. Either at the top or bottom of the forum list, there'd be these featured threads... or would they be on a sort of "home page" that you're lead to just from typing [url]www.vgchat.com[/url] and the forum list would be another link you'd have to click on from there? If it's the latter, I say no. I am, for some reason, annoyed by forums with home pages. When I enter the URL, I'm interested in visiting the forums, not seeing the featured threads or latest news or whatever else they put there.




Posted by Jesse Smith

Take a look at
http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/
for an example.

Default would be with those Featured links, with a link to the normal version for all the liberals who don't like change.

[FONT=Fixedsys][COLOR=SandyBrown]That's a horrible layout. The so-called "featured threads" take up the whole page!! The actual boards are just a small list on the side.

pze no do it!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D[/COLOR][/FONT]

That's the site I showed to Sabredog. The version you've found is slightly different I believe, but the same basic idea.

Ugh, Accidently voted Yes. Change it.




Posted by Velvet Nightmare

Sounds like a pretty good idea, as long as just super mods have it. i could see things getting flooded really fast if all mods had it.
