Forum Suggestions - re: layout, not content

I'm checking it out on my laptop rather than phone for the first time. A couple thoughts.

 

1. Make it so you can login on the main page. Looks like you have to go to a second page farther down the wormhole of the website to get that option.

2. Boat, italicize your "signature" line. As a regular and somebody that posts a lot, it looks like you're just typing that at the end of every post you make. It needs to look different somehow. Had me really confused when I was on my phone.

3. Offer different color options. I'm certain vBulletin offers some other standard colors. Maybe a grey/white or black/white option?

4. When you actually enter the forums, expand the width of the forum/posts; basically maximize the forum into the whole page so that the background is essentially eliminated. Let's be honest, you guys have some other content on here, but 99% of us are here for the forums. You have to make them as pleasant on the eyes as possible.

5. Personal messages. It's told me for 5 days now that I have 3 messages but it shouldn't. I've seen who responded to my posts, and it's still not clearing. I've seen that function work well, but I think you guys have some kinks there still.

6. Increase the font size of all thread titles. Currently thread titles are the same size font as all other information about the thread, ie who started it, how many likes, when it was started, etc., but as people browse the forum looking for topics, we want to see the titles. Make them stand out more by increasing the size.

7. Have a way to show each user if they've posted already in a thread. EOG does the green arrows which work.

 

That's all I've got for now. Good luck guys.

We value your input a lot. We have been working non stop with our graphic designer and tech guys for the past 2 weeks. Most of the heavy duties have been hammered and we are now working on kinks and bugs and the user feedback is crucial to make this a better place. Would like to share with the board that once the final site is up we will have another color option for people to choose from, we will add a sports ticket scroller with real time sports scores and hopefully with live odds if negotiations come through.

 

We will not rest until we know that we have the absolute best product that we can offer and even then we will always be open to suggestions to make this a better place.

9. Have a button below the last post that takes you back to the forum you are browsing.

 

EOG had the 'top of page' button which was ok but why not just have a button to take you straight back to the forum? Right now I have to scroll up and then click 'main forum'
