Introducing the New B&B Front Page

**Nick** · 01-20-2008, 01:53 AM

In an effort to improve your experience at Badger & Blade, we have recently upgraded the Front Page to a new system that will allow us to post articles and announcements in an easier to read format. Keep an eye out, because more improvements are scheduled for the near future, including regular feature articles, the ability for members to submit articles to be posted on the Front Page, as well as other site enhancements. Your browsing experience should also be seamless between the forum and the new front page system. With your current forum log-in, you will be able to reply to front page articles, as well as submit article and new content recommendations.

With this front page upgrade came a slew of maintenance upgrades to the back end software as well. If you notice any irregularities when it comes to posting or interacting on the site, please mention them here, in the Site Feedback forum, or via Private Message to me.

Thanks for your patience during the site outage. We hope you enjoy the improvements.

-Nick

Very nice and fancy. More navigable and easy to read. The articles by users idea sounds neat. Kudos.

Thats what I was thinking I have the forums bookmarked and just check the other things as needed

Really don't care for the changes. No log in option for one. I'll just move my bookmark to the forums now and skip the front page.

Agreed. Should have a log in option on the front page, have the most recent posts on the forums, and have forum stats (# of new post, members online...etc.)

That's about where I am. I'll have to check it out.

Thank you Nick and B&B Team.

**bigmo** · 01-20-2008, 06:52 PM

Nice design for the front page, I like it.

**rabidpotatochip** · 01-20-2008, 06:56 PM

I usually go straight to the forums so I did a double-take when this futuristic new template popped up.

I actually had to make sure I typed the address right.

**frogman18** · 01-20-2008, 07:58 PM

I like it, looks good.

**2bits** · 01-20-2008, 09:38 PM

I'll find my way about in time.
Everything is still there - just a page down (or so).

Well done.

**iron maiden** · 01-20-2008, 10:45 PM

nice job, Nick....looks really good

**Tiggercat** · 01-23-2008, 01:10 PM

I really miss the ten most recent posts list.

**Wil** · 01-23-2008, 01:16 PM

Yup- the ten most recent- I could usually just refresh my screen page and get the most recent- but now I need to keep using the internal search by pressing New Posts- not sure how this would effect the over all server situation.

also my saved smiles have reverted to the standards... is this normal?

I think we need to see 'The 10 best lines of the day' on there. Ouch takes three, Mr Chip takes three and that leaves four for the other 6,000 of us to share.

Cheers
