PocketGPSWorld - Site Layout Changes

Darren · Last edited by Darren on Thu Oct 18, 2012 9:47 pm; edited 1 time in total

As some of the more observant will note, things are changing with our site layout.

The process will take some days to complete and so the final layout will not be apparent until it is finished.

We're moving to a two-column layout to give us more space for content and we will be sorting the site navigation to make it simpler and more straight-forward.

The top navigation menu will be simplified and a prominent log-in box will be available on all pages.

We're also planning to offer a large search box to the right of the PGPS Logo.

So please bear with us whilst we make the necessary changes, we need to tread carefully to ensure we don't break anything as we move through the changes!

Hi, Darren

Real good job.

It gets better each time each time I switch from one forums to another.

Take Care

Could see it had changed even on the log-on screen.

Don't get me wrong, but I think the adds should be on the left. Only my personal feelings Laughing

EDIT When you post, to get back to the main forums again I always have to go to the drop down menu at the top of the page each time.

Is it not possible to have the menus on each page:

It's brilliant for checking for new posts on my mobile phone. Very Happy

Before, every page took an age to download, and I had to scroll through an expanded left-hand column in order to get to the content. Not any more! Thanks! Cool

It also seems to load quicker on the pc, it looks far less cluttered, and the top navigation menu is more obvious.

Looking forward to seeing what further improvements you come up with. Thumbs Up

I must say i am liking the new layout so far. Seems much 'crisper' and maybe it's me, but loads faster.

yes, it should load faster. a big part of the delay in laoding was pulling up all the review and article categories etc for the expanding box on the left.

Much better. It looks cleaner and loads quicker. What is there not to like about it? Techno-Thursdays Rule.

But.... How are you going to implement the macro that trawls through all the old posts which have replies advising people to "Click on the icon on the left/right ... etc?
