Landing page question.

[Crippler]

Does anyone use the User CP or the Recent Threads modules on the landing page (front page)? If not, I would like to remove them to make room for more content that we will all use more. The User CP is basically redundant in the Hexcell theme. The Recent Threads module I can't see a lot of folks using. You all may just jump to the forums or use the New Posts menu item.

I would like to know how everyone is using the front page.

Thanks.

The only things I use on the front page are sometimes the "New Posts" button, and sometimes the PM button. But I usually use the New Posts button up top in the main bar.

ditto.

I always use the usercp new post button. I never use the buttons at top unless I'm going to the forum to start a new article. We need to look at the non-signed in look and make sure it is easy to see where to sign in..

Is there another place to access the UserCP?

In the top bar, right beside home. Also, the Quick Links drop-down menu has CP options in it.

I usually look at the top left module first, but it would be just as easy to train myself to look at the top right where I can login and see if I have PM's etc. It is redundant.

The recent threads does get some use by someone. In the stats it shows that many of the entries into the forum are from that module. Or at least it did a few months ago. We should check again to see if that is still the case.

Good ideas Crippler!

Everyone else should chime in. Obviously we can't please everyone but please make your voice heard so we can try to make PreGameLobby fun for as many people as possible!

Personally, I don't use of the stuff on the left side of the screen. I use the main menu across the top to access forums and the UserCP. I use the upperleft hand corner summary on me to see if I have messages or not.

I do look at the recent posts on the bottom of the landing page.

Something I liked, but not many forums use, is in the userCP is a thread track on threads people started. It made it nice if you started a thread to go there and see the responses. Other forum had something similar, but was limited to only more recent threads, but was not limited to threads started by you, just what you posted to.

I use The Top bar to Access the Forums and user cp, I dont know any other way. as long as you make it Simple Im happy (And i heard thats what counts!)

I use 'new posts' and 'mark threads read' on quick links.
