POLL - Android Community section placement.

[DaSchmarotzer]

Android Community
Android Discussion
Phones, Tablets, etc
Community Info & Talk



It all makes sense to me. The Phone/Tablets section is useful, but once you find it, it doesn't need to be at the top. It's a pain for the eyes and a waste of "screen real estate", even when minimized. The same thing goes for all the other less visited forums, such as Devs, Carriers, etc.

The users will come for help with their devices, looking for information about Android, etc. They'll know it's about Android. We want them to see the "Android Community" section and the "Android Discussion" section (to a lower extent), for them to post in there and keep coming back to the forums.

The "Community Info & Talk" is important but only for regular users and even then it's not something they'll check daily so it should be at the bottom.

Yeah, that's exactly how it was before. The layout was good-looking too, which is important.

Just my humble opinion.

Its a very desirable change !!1

You know what Phases?

We have the forum having a default layout as so:

Intro,
Android Discussion
Android Development
Phones, Tablets, etc
Community Info & Talk
etc

Now we allow members the ability to edit where the sections can be on the main page so they can customize it to have the section they utilize the most at the top

PROBLEM SOLVE!!!

Well, that'd be an option, but then we'd simply be arguing about what the default would be. (If it were to occur, that is.)

Honestly, I saw that the top section was missing and didn't even think about looking below all the phone, tablet, and carrier sub forums for the sections. I thought they were removed until the poll was placed in the announcements.

I don't think so, the default should benefit the new members the most

Phases, is this feasible?

 

[Xyro]

I like Roze's idea, if it's possible.

Well, we want new members to find the Lounge, don't we?

They will find it eventually lol

Well yeah.. a quick search on "iPhone" or "shoes" will take them right there.

Since my laptop officially died... I probably won't get the chance to type out what i wanted. Basically it was some massive reorganization suggestions.

Kind of a PITA to try to view it all from a tab or phone and keep track of the organization unfortunately.

The top seems like the obvious for a lounge. This is already an Android discussion forum. Off topic is always welcome.
