Arnie Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I've added some of the finishing touches to the new portal page I've designed. It's not going to replace the news page, but I might make it the default entrance page for the site at some point depending on what people think of it. http://arniesairsoft.co.uk/?go=portal All feedback much appreciated.

Crandall Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 (edited) Looks a lot better then the first news page! I would like it if you would use it as the new news page. I like how it has two columns, and you can see more new news without scrolling down! Edited March 27, 2005 by crandall13 Link to post Share on other sites

^cRYpTic^ Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Great idea! I really like it! Keep up the good work! Link to post Share on other sites
Siciro Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 I am impressed with the second picture column on the right and really like the Recent Discussions section. I would be happy with this as the "Front" or news page. Link to post Share on other sites
cruxed Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Great work arnie. The portal is my new homepage now Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 not wanting to throw a spanner in the works, but ilike the big pictures that come with the current news page. they give a more instant idea of what the news article is about, and at least are a bit of eye candy. but the portal does seem a lot more informative, and has easier access to stuff.

Redcap Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 Pros: Faster to load, More info in terms of what's going on over the site as a whole Cons: No photos for news items On balance: Bloody good job Link to post Share on other sites

Marlowe Posted March 27, 2005 Report Share Posted March 27, 2005 It does work very well, and gets in a lot of information in a very small space, so good work for that... But I have to say I would prefer to see the News page rather than the portal. Aesthetically I just find it a lot more inviting and welcoming than the portal, which is great for getting across a lot of information fast, but feels a bit like I'm under bombardment. Is it possible to have the option of choosing somehow? If this is going to be a lot of work, then for get I said anything though. Link to post Share on other sites
FeeFyeFoeFum Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I like the new look, OK there is a lot more info on there, but I like the style. A nice touch is the last 10 forum posts at the bottom of the page, lets ya see what is hot and what is not on the forum front. Good work Arn. Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Looks good. Do it. :-) Link to post Share on other sites
Corporate_Black_Ops Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I think I like it. Certainly it loads faster, certainly the columns seem to work. Will the lack of photos mean I get less information? I don't think so. Link to post Share on other sites
aeroduro Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 I like it, its a nice all-in-one sort of thing. One thing you shuold know, Arnie, is that the link doesn't show up in the nav bar here in the forums (where it says Main Menu) if you weren't aware of that already. Anyway, nice feature, me likes.

Fujisawa Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Good effort arnie ! Whilst I agree with the comments about liking the news to have big piccies along with it, this may be more suitable for browsing at work as there will be less pictures of scary looking hardware to frighten my colleagues Fuji Link to post Share on other sites
Catchv22 Posted April 3, 2005 Report Share Posted April 3, 2005 I personally prefer the old news page. Great work on the portal page though. Link to post Share on other sites

bronney Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I agree the portal's neat, perfect for us. But for new-comers might be a bit intimidating. The second column is a good idea though cuz I think arnie's has kick-*albatross* articles that deserves more read. Hmm. Link to post Share on other sites
