[QUOTE="LightPhoenix, post: 4503852, member: 115"] It loaded slow for me as well. Morrus, I want to make clear that I'm trying to provide constructive criticism in the following paragraphs. I don't really know what I'm talking about, so please don't ban me! :) I think there could be less space between the boxes. Especially, between the horizontal banner and the "forum" name, between boxes in the center column, and between the three columns. It would free up a little bit more real estate. The news box is very cluttered. There should be some spacing between news stories. Also, the dotted list takes up a relatively large portion of the box. It also looks weird without some margin on the right as well. I'd recommend removing it. I'm not sure how possible it is (again, don't really know anything), but I'd break up each day into separate boxes. I think the "My Account" box could be moved. My preference would be to remove it; there's a link in horizontal bar and the log-in status in the title bar. If it were kept, I'd probably put it in one of the side columns, right at the top. The "Main" box feels very cluttered with the whole bit about what ENWorld is. If it's possible to change it, I'd put it where the Community Supporter box is, perhaps only viewable if you are not logged in. The page as it is on the whole seems too long. My estimate is that it is 4-6 screen heights, depending on the monitor. I highly doubt most people will scroll all the way to the bottom. I'm not certain the past week is needed on the front page. Optimally it would be based on how much news there is; realistically and simplistically (is that even the right word?) I would only have the last three days worth. This next part is [i]completely[/i] my own preference, and I'm sure many would (and will) disagree with me. I don't like the three column format for web pages. It works for newspapers because there is a lot of horizontal room and the "zoom" and "pan" are easily adjustable. I'd get rid of one of the columns; personally I would get rid of the left column. Some of it, like the links, I would find room for elsewhere. The rest of it I would flat out drop. [/QUOTE]
