Yes but it's easier to use the drop down thingy. When Vlad had the site the links on the left neveer worked properly and you had to click a few times to get where you want to be.

I guess i'm now in the habit of only using the New Post search or clicking on any thread to get to a drop down jump thingy (does it have a real name???)

a doodaa

I like the new layout. Makes perfect sense to me

The listing of members who have visited today can be closed by clicking on the arrow top right of faceplate.

As can any of the modules

I'll try to tidy it up later

Ah, I see what you're all saying now.

When I looked earlier, it hadn't changed from the left! Now it's on the right.

I think I usually look at the forumindex page rather than the forums page. Was getting a bit confuddled. Sorry!

PS I can see where they've been split now too!! Woohoo!!

I suppose the ideal would be if you snapped this section off and just spawned a new website solely for comm chatter etc

Now what shall we call it?

Personally I disagree, I think there is a place for community chatter because Smarties (mostly) are sociable.

This is primarily a Smart car related website but people love chatting about allsorts so there needs to be space for all without people treading on each others toes/fingers.

I do post in both areas with no particular favouritism.

Re: Community chatter posts not showing on forum homepage?

Good idea, wouldn't be too hard to have another index page for the inane, insane, and indupitably strange

Easy to link it to a subdomain too, how about offtopictosh.smartmaniacs.co.uk

I agree with Herman though - in alot of ways the off topic and community stuff is a viable and essential part of this online community - it would be boring if we only ever talked shop

Re: Community chatter posts not showing on forum homepage?

but it's upsetting the boss

There was a time that I logged on last week and there was not a single smart topic on the homepage - this is a smart site

Re: Community chatter posts not showing on forum homepage?

1) I'm not 'the boss', I'm the bloke that was mad enough to take on the site and therefore put my head above the parapet to be blown off by people I don't know for things that are outside my control (you lot)

2) Upsetting is the wrong term, I wasn't loving seeing a smart site full of off topic, so needed to find a way to fulfil both areas of our community. I think the new approach works

We can't talk about smarts all day though We can, however, manage inane banter

Indeed you can

Re: Community chatter posts not showing on forum homepage?

just a shame you can't see the offtopic until you scroll a tiny bit down (at least for me on 1280)
so if you forget that page has changed you might think no new posts are present

no that wasn't a request to alter it:wag:
