Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 8:12 pm Central Time Seriously, maybe move Retro Central up higher or something? It just seems weird to me.... Anyone else? _________________ www.hauntingheather.com DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to sell anything, just spreading the word.

Posted: Thu Oct 15, 2009 8:25 pm Central Time hmm....organizationally, it makes sense, but you're right, it does seem unbalanced. the old scheme seemed to work because wheels, sports, home gaming, and debate weren't in the retropedia, but i think matt wants to associate those more with the nostalgia discussions and isolate the non retro boards. i just wish omnibus was placed higher, but that wouldn't make sense either. _________________ can't talk now, the ninjas are watching me think.

Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 9:59 am Central Time I was wondering who would be the first one to gripe about the change. _________________ wizzerd's not heer any more, mrs torrance im shadow i live in wizzerds head redrum! grrr!!! hahahahahaha

Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 10:23 am Central Time I like it too. It's just because you're not used to looking at it this way. I don't understand what the complaint is. Any way you re-arrange it, someone will complain. PS:

Any way you re-arrange it, someone will complain. view Change is, by its nature, disruptive. But, change is also necessary for progress and growth. Kind of like re-arranging the furniture in your living room now and then, we'll be shuffling things around in Retrotalk now and then. Visually, it's easy to forget something is there when it's always in the exact same place. (Example -- when was the last time you looked at the banner ad above the masthead?) Maybe the new order will inspire some posts in forums that haven't had much attention? Cheers, _________________ Matthew Wayne Selznick Chief Evangelist http://www.retroland.com

Posted: Fri Oct 16, 2009 8:17 pm Central Time How about a redesign of the board, is that coming? I think a new layout would be good. _________________ www.hauntingheather.com DISCLAIMER: I'm not trying to sell anything, just spreading the word.

Cheers, view How about you get rid of the blaring white and add some color back to the boards. I know of at least one person who left after the last redesign because the white bothered their eyes.

But I agree....why can't some of the boards be consolidated? TV/Movies could go together, as could Arcade Games and Home Gaming. Neither Sports and Leisure or Wheels in Motion get many new topics, so couldn't they be combined too? Just a couple suggestions.
