I added a post to this thread earlier this morning and it has completely vanished?!?Assuming that it wasn't removed by a moderator (I can't think why it might have been) I'll repost what I can remember of it.======My opinions, for what the're worth:I would like the name to remain ENWorld if possible - I like the sense of history which it gives, and when people turn into old duffers like me that becomes important. Mind you, they say that nostalgia isn't what it used to be... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'd love to see a colour change back to the black on pale yellow that was originally used for d20 reviews. I personally find that much more readable and attractive, I've never liked the black pages much.I imagine that you could divine from the web server logs which are the most visited (and thus probably most important) bits of the site. Any future navigation scheme would benefit from including some of the most important and best-loved links at the top level and easy to find. I'd guess that the messageboards come into this category, and I'd not like to see them buried a level down under "Community" - it is the main link which I use off the home page, and that may be true for many others. Chat and Interviews are, I guess, much less popular (if only because there is a lower frequency of updates).The main thing that I look for on ENWorld is the news - what's going on in other websites, what content is becoming available on the web. I do like the latest thing you have been doing of highlighting some particularly interesting messageboard threads too - good stuff.I think you should keep having several days news on the front page and not just todays... those of us who don't access the site at the weekend might end up missing some vital news <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />The part of the front page design which is of least use to me is the "coming attractions from WotC" with illustrations. I think that could probably sit on a subsidiary page very nicely. This could break the current page from its current layout with a narrow column on both sides, to just a column on the left side.I don't know what you think of dynamic, javascript menus? They are improving tremendously in cross-browser compatibility now, and they can make a screen appear less cluttered while still providing plenty of links deeper into the site.Something that would be good (if possible) is for the ENWorld home page to highlight the most recent 5 reviews in d20reviews, if that is possible... I often forget to go and check d20reviews, and a reminder on the ENworld front page would be great.Anyhow, thanks for all the all the good work and initiatives you are doing here... from the point of this Fan you are doing me a tremendous favour, and I really appreciate it.Cheers</blockquote>
