Any suggestions for more improvements to the site? We had to launch the site before we had everything finessed due to the loss of Singed.NET so we have more improvements and tweaks and some clean-up here and there.
These are my humble thoughts:
1. One that crosses my mind is that it would be nice have something to click on the home page that displays New Posts instead of having to click "Forums" first.
2. I noticed some clean-up issues in the downloads sections ("File" should be "Files"). The first column on this page doesn't seem to be necessary (the blue dots) and the number of votes column seems like it could go to make more room for thorough descriptions. I also noticed a mislabelled column and the server browser block appears when on that page and that probably isn't necessary and would leave more space for the width of the page.
Sole is going to add programming to enable us to link to offsite downloads/pages in the downloads section so we can direct downloads offsite for downloads not hosted here.
3. There seems to be some interest in maybe putting a "Community Links" page somewhere so we can link to other pages that aren't a good fit for the home page or the QuakeOne Navigator
4. Perhaps a screenshots section for single player custom maps. Also that section doesn't seem to display the number of images for subcategories correctly (and I noticed a typo).
5. I think some direct download hyperlinks in the server browser for the servers that require a download would be convenient.
6. Maybe making post "quote" blocks have a different colored background.
7. Some of the preinstalled icons don't mesh well with the background color of the site. One example is the "<" and ">" buttons in the image gallery.
8. Thoughts on the available files in the downloads section? I know we need to get the ProQuake cheat-free module in there and loc files. I need to get the current QRack in an EZ Installer form. Yellow's new packs as well. The current JoeQuake as well. The QView download, while the server list is rather complete, needs some servers added/subtracted.
We are still under construction, although we have the site a lot closer to where we want it.
Other suggestions, thoughts or ideas on the site. Comments welcomed and encouraged.
