Hi Guys,
So, we are the Official Warwick Forum again, so we need to tweak the Home Page a little.
First we should think about it's purpose.
In my opinion, home page should be a good orientation tool, and a place to show News and cool forum topics as articles.
Chatbox: you know I love it, but I don't think it should be the center of the home page, except if we set it to show in real time the activity on the forum on the main chat page, and by that it brings a feed, turning the whole forum in a chatbox. You see one of us answering in our topic, click, and chat there.
However most of you complained about being harder to use as a proper chatbox that way. So chatbox is still there, on side bar, but we need to keep the center of the page for more important features.
So what should we have on the home page?
- Articles
- Forum categories, to know where and what to look for.
- Recent activity, new posts/ topics.
- other features we have on the forum like media and gear reviews.
I also think we should redo the forum's structure, so we have proper Warwick bass, Rockbass, Warwick Amps, etc categories, so new users to find help easier.
Any feedback is a great help for us now!
