shortcuts to categories

blueyes · 02-06-2005, 11:07 AM

g'day,

i'm just wondering why there isn't shortcuts into the lower categories from the homepage like fordfourms.com has?

I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean, when you load www.fordforums.com.au, you can only see the Small and Mid Sized Cars, and not every forum inside that area?

If so, I would say that is to keep things less complicated on the homepage, which already has a very wide range of links to follow.

If not, can you explain a little more what you mean?

sorry, i should of explained myself better - but you got it right!

it's just annoying having to click twice to get where i want (usually just cleveland tech and classic falcons) where back at ff.com it's just a single click into the category from the homepage

I can make a suggestion, if you like.

Go into the forum you like to browse, and then save it as a Favorite in your browser (up the top of the browser window, choose Favorites, then Add to favorites). That way, you just drop down the Favorites list and choose the exact forum you want to go to!

And you can always browse the other forums from there, when you want to!

That's how I get to my favorite forums easily.

What you are meaning is abilty to have an expanded forums menu and not have to click on e-series, then e-sereis chat for example.

We don't want too many things on the front page. IMO there is too much anyway. To add more we start to have to reduce the font to a rediculous size or make the main page even longer.

What about if the layout was a user choice, as is, or all expanded ?

Hey, thats a fantastic idea. I understand it would be way too complicated to expand all forums, however perhaps there could be a windows directory tree-style expansion, in which the user can select what forums are expanded when they load ff.com.au?

Haha Dellboy, i get sick of clicking deleted link then eseries chat :P
