Proposing new layout for CGArt Nexus

I would like to make a suggestion on our forum's design. Right now, I feel there are too many things going on. We have the latest posts thingy on the left, and many thumbnails on top, unanswered posts, facebook feeds, twitter feeds... these are some excellent stuff but I don't think some of them aren't needed and they just make the page look cluttered.

Attached is a concept image I did for a possible new design for our page.

benj, if you like what you see, please let me know. I will work with you and hopefully we can make this happen.

The hamster might need some time to think on it... After all the site was just revamped a few weeks ago - I doubt he's ready to redo it all again just now...

Oh really... hmmm. Okay. But seriously, each page has so much going on right now. the primary function of the site is for sharing our work and the art challenges. We should keep things simple and minimal, in my opinion. Too many things on a page is just distracting.

Hi Yian, welcome to the site and thanks for your feedback.

As Charlotte says the site has only just undergone a revamp so there aren't going to be any major changes for a while though there will be an update to the forum at some point. If you are desperate for minimal, you can always access the forum via the Tapatalk app where you won't be distracted by any of that stuff

Hi Banj, it's 2017 now . Are you interested in updating the look of the forum again?

interested in why you want it to look like the old IFX Yian? And which parts of it you want

You want this site to be redesigned to look like an eleven year old site that people continually complained about?

There are still no plans at the moment to update the site in any major way. There was an update intended for the forum, but that is on hold after some technical problems (I did actually revisit that last week, so it isn't abandoned).

Few people are actually making use of the site since the last time it was updated, so there is really little to encourage the amount of work required to change anything right now.

Well, if it is too much work then don't worry about it.

Is there something specific you would like changed? Perhaps I could look at addressing that instead of completely rebuilding the whole thing.
