That bar at the top of the index... I added that last night. Let me know if it's more annoying than helpful. If people like it, good.
If it's annoying at top, it can be moved to the bottom, or to the side or whatever. |

please dont move it to the side it would look really ugly there. In my opinion it would most likely look and be best down at the bottom instead of the top because we have the view new posts thing at the top and I know its not the same, but a lot of people use that and its one of the first thing they go to on the site and since thats already at the top it would most likely be used more. At the bottom however if you are scrolling down to see who is online or something you can look at that too.
Just my two cents. _________________

I like the additions. Very nice, and very helpful. A bit shocking at first, and it'll take a bit to get used to, but, it's all good. Good job! _________________ ard says:

It was a bit shocking at first. I kind of like it, though. Perhaps it would be best at the bottom, like Philosopher King say-- but the bottom already has a lot of stuff crowding it. So for now, I'd say let's just keep it where it is. _________________

I think it'd look better if it was at the bottom. For some reason, I like it better down there rather than at the top. Feel free to ignore me though. |

My honest opinion? I'm not too fond of it. Not trying to sound ungrateful, but for the recent topics, I can simply click on the "Posts since last visit" and get that information, and I guess I see even less need for the most popular topics bit. But, if people like it, I certainly can learn to live with it. _________________

I for one have made thorough use of the recent topics column from the moment it came in place. Just a suggestion though - the most posts and most views threads aren't really ever going to change, and by they're very nature they're the ones most people here have already seen. I'd like to suggest, if it's possible, listing the 15 threads most recently contributed to rather than only 5 followed by two columns I can't really see people deriving much use from.
Also, I don't mind it being at the top one bit, but I've heard a lot of gripes on irc about it. I'd rather it be at the top than gone entirely, but maybe putting it at the bottom would be best. |

I would also like it at the bottom, to be honest. But then, I would never use it anyway... _________________

I don't really care for it, again because new posts does the job just fine. It doesnt bother me though. However, I definately like all the other stuff you added. _________________

I'm all for putting it on the bottom....I don't like how it's pushing the rest of the forums...well...more downwards in terms of layout.
Or maybe you could swap it with the 'Prolific writers' thing that's at the bottom now...
well I guess my point is...for being how thick it is now...it's better if it's on the bottom of the page I think... _________________

Looks good - draws attention to other posts that some members may not be active in yet. I know when I come on the first thing I do is search for posts that I've already been active in, and check and see if anyone has replied to my posts. In the meantime I aimlessly brows around in other forums with little or no direction, this gives me the luxery of being able to see where other users are or have been active as another outlet of posting my two-cents or participating in the conversation. Very nice. _________________

It makes the forum index too busy. Too many things going on all at once. It's hard on the eyes and a bit unsightly, I think. It would look better on the bottom, if it absolutely has to stay. I'm still not overly fond of it. There's just too much going on and it draws attention away from other places. It's fun to try out new things for a site, sure, but sometimes it just doesn't work out. This, I believe, is one of those times.
As for practicality, I have a similar opinion. It doesn't help much. Most of those popular threads will have a fire rune next to them anyway. Anyone who makes use of "view posts since last visit" will have no use for the new table.
I don't mean to be rude or overly critical, but I personally don't like it. |

The new posts feature pretty much does the same thing. _________________

I'm minimalist by nature, so I find it to be bulky and unneccesary. I personally probably won't ever use it, but I think the boards would have a more tucked-away look if it was at the bottom.
I do however acknowledge that with the Suikox Forums being as large as they are, something like this is probably a good thing to point people towards popular threads. It just happens that I seldom post in said threads. _________________

I would prefer it at the bottom, as I'm pretty much never going to use it it doesn't make too much difference to me. _________________
