Hello,

I have been spending some time on the landing page and with difference devices. I was thinking about adding the option to minimize sections of the landing page, much like you can minimize Main Forums in the Forums. I think doing this is going in the direction of adding more to it while able to keep it simple and neat. I also think adding this option may give each other here a chance to continue to use and increase the potential behind the d2jsp.org landing page. Having this suggestion being implemented is not necessary a requirement so to say but I do think it has some potential to be mentioned here.

Here is a few simple example of what the minimize feature function might look like. The different colored themed edits is what you will be looking for in the first image.

Before,


Something like this after,


Yes or no?

No thank you.

I would also say no. As 1% of users spend there time on the landing page. I don’t think it’s a need since they just updated it.

Early Poll Results. 50% For Yes.

I like the idea however the information displayed on the landing page is what is new with the forum. If it was nonsensical information then I would agree with you. Personally I click on the forums as soon as I get to the landing page anyways.

Best of luck with your site recommendation.

Voted No.

Ty all for sharing and Voting. I should have added that the new landing page has particular new features and more added to it. One of these Features being Live Posts from our Forums. I also believe the landing page is very important to every user here, regardless if they are logged in or showing up here for the first time. It could also enable having some more Important Updates or something similar displayed. In time the landing page may change and I think this option or something similar continues to help our community and site grow in the right direction.

In the essence of it the landing page will still be different when you are logged into d2jsp.org.

Id like the option to be able to revert it back to the old way. New one is ugly. Not sure where that falls, lol.

Maybe an option to rearrange it?

I do remember the old landing page and I can see the change in it has been big for many different Members of our Community. In this respect I do think history proves a point here that the all great things in life can be remembered, and more.

In all good spirits I respect the idea you want to rearrange the landing page. I don't think rearranging as you mentioned is needed now, as I sense what is best for the community here can happen, but it could be a possibility. If you could add something to the landing page while keeping it to the idea of the new landing page and make use of this minimizing feature, what would you add?

I either default to tracked topics or the main Forum which I think most people also do as such think it's unnecessary and time could be spent developing other aspects of the site

I have been learning to default to the d2jsp logo at the top left corner of the screen. That is what was shared with me. It is kind of funny in that sense because even I had made a wrong statement about it general use of the landing page, as it is used without much notice or difference in everyday landing. When I joined this site it would have been the landing page that got me going along with someone else in the community. I also like the fact that it is kind of just a landing page. It is rather simple and receiving notifications on that page may help when it comes to some members of our site competing.

Rather seeing how simple this suggestion seems to me, I don't know how much work it would take or how much work would need to go into it or any future changes in light of it. With the current landing page being a rather big change for our site I have enjoyed the defined Trading, Gaming, Competing, and Community section added to upper half of it. I believe this in time will Strengthen many elements of our Community and also allow for Members to see that through and possibly with Honor. This site suggestion is in hopes of being something like that too.
