Community Redesign

[Anonymous]

Hi guys,

over the past few months we've been working on new designs for the community - it's not just cosmetic, as you can see we're looking at some new features too.

We'd love to hear what you think about these 3 potential designs, and we'd also appreciate any ideas or suggestions

Looking forward to your feedback!

Design #1

I personally do not like any of those designs. Having such large boxes for each forum sub section is a waste of screen space and creates a product where the end user is needlessly scrolling. Now if those boxes where 1/4 of the size they are shown on screen, I wouldn't mind it, but as it stands, they are massive.

But yes, do lose all the junk from the right side of the community index. And add ways to minimize a section with a down/up arrow at the top of each section.

As regards different areas of the community. I would like to see the option to define a social background removed. And the user icons displaying in a post as the same size that they display on the person's profile.

Of the 3 I prefer the second one though I agree with some of the others that the boxes could be made smaller. Number 3 being cleaner but more basic may look better on lower resolution devices however.

Is there also a redesign for the mobile interface?

Good Point.

I would hope the 'Rich Editor' could be run again on iPhones.

I'd also like to see a qoute button on each post in a thread (when viewing a thread), rather it being tucked away behind the reply+reply window.

Yes, we're looking at both desktop and mobile redesign.

Thanks for the suggestion, SeaCat. We'll see if the platform allows it.

Good stuff! As the others have suggested, we need more options in the mobile view rather than just a plain text box.

Absolutely, PapaDug, that's something we started looking at even before discussing the desktop redesign
