Title: Portal Page
Post by: Captkaos on February 18, 2014, 11:36:23 pm: Anyone notice or care for the portal page I added? If you direct link in you probaby miss it, but if you hit Home you can see it.
I thought about enabling some of the block into the forum. Opinions?

Post by: DnStClr on February 19, 2014, 05:53:19 pm: Does this limit the size of pics that can be added to a post or are the sizes auto-sized?

Post by: bake74 on February 19, 2014, 09:23:58 pm: I don't think the portal page should be with the forum page. I like the forum page to be just the forum page, not cluttered. If added to the forum page I believe it would be too much.
I do however think it is a great idea for the home page, it is easy access to a lot of information, I like the layout also.

Post by: Irish_Alley on February 19, 2014, 10:38:51 pm: lol i think me and bake are the only ones that don’t like it. it does seem too cluttered. i guess I’m used to where everything was and know how to use the old style. kind of like going to the supermarket only to find they rearranged every else. but the reason they do this is so people like me, who know where everything they need is at has to look around for it. and then by looking around i might buy something that i havnt seen before

Post by: Captkaos on February 19, 2014, 10:52:19 pm: Or find the gallery. LOL. I just stuck it on there for the forum just incase people bypass the main page. It is debatable if it stays there at this point.

Post by: Irish_Alley on February 19, 2014, 11:13:59 pm: idk if its just this pc but its loading a little slow. im going to surf some other sites and see how the pc acts.
Title: Re: Portal Page
Post by: Captkaos on February 19, 2014, 11:18:23 pm: FYI this has been on the forum for almost 4 months, everyone was just bypassing it. It shouldn't be any slower.

Post by: Irish_Alley on February 19, 2014, 11:20:06 pm: yeah im leaning to the pc might need a good cleaning with a rubber mallet, if i hit refresh it takes 7+sec to reload lol. but i do like the feature to add or remove the other windows

No it changes nothing on the posts..

It does make a difference on my I-pad. The pics do not show full screen, on my I-pad I have to scroll back and forth (side to side) to see the whole picture. It was not that way before, the last time I used my I-pad on this forum it did not have the side bar on the forum page.
I do not know if you added the side bar (who's online, recent topics, calendar) to the forum yesterday (Wednesday the 19) or not, but I noticed it then because I am out of town working and use my I-pad. When at home I use my computer.
So I guess I am asking if you just added the side bar portion specifically to the forum page on the 19 (Wednesday), or before and I did not notice it because I was on my computer which has a wide screen ?
If you added on Wednesday, and if it does the same to the pics on my computer as on my I-pad then I definitely do not like it. I will not know till Friday morning when I am back at my house and can use my computer.

Post by: Captkaos on February 20, 2014, 09:35:18 pm: I did change it Wednesday. Try it again now.. All the blocks are off on the forum now.

Post by: bake74 on February 20, 2014, 10:20:38 pm: It might just be me, but I do prefer the forum page to be just the forum page and the home page to have all the statistics. And yes the forum page is just showing the forum info now.

Post by: Irish_Alley on February 20, 2014, 11:38:45 pm: seams better this way. it was just too much going on with the blocks on the form.
