New Layout

[Shelley_c]

I don't think they intentially made it more difficult. But the fact still remains that they have. The graphics area is prity much spot on with the new features, it's the location and not being able to see new posts/requests that have been made. To make matters worse, once you access the area you only see the last 5 latest submissions. To me, this wasn't thought about (and before) I made suggestions about renaming the sub headings which I even wrote (which could have been copy and pasted) and still, the sub headings are left empty. From day 1 this area has been neglected and (just my opinion) it's an area which members could greatly benefit from but never have because nobody has posted on a regular basis to give the impression that there is/could be a great graphic database.

The last thing members want is having to pay for graphics when they could get them free on this forum. By the looks of things the area has one dedicated contributor and a few other contributors. This in turn (pending if staff mainly brad) look at what the area could become could produce a great graphic database.

I've just had to turn down a request which I hate doing all because of the area being allocated to an area which doesn't benefit anybody.

The only reason why I'm being presistant is because people are still making requests and I don't want to give off the impression that I'm simply ignoring them. It looks bad on me because I submitted them and I've already had to remove 2 sets because only I've been able to perform the modifications.

It's not asking for much when you think about it when suggestions/solutions have been made in this thread.

Yes, I agree that the graphics section needs more work/attention and that it could bring in a lot more people and contributors to the community. Maybe they don't have the people in the staff who share the same ideas, in which case it might be a good move to add some staff, people like yourself who love graphical work, who would try to spice up that section and could spend time on it because they aren't also worrying about all the other sections.

Now that doesn't sound to promising. And thinking about it, I think your not far off the truth. I wouldn't want a staff position though I can see that this may be a lost cause. It doesn't take but a little common sense to figure out that the new implementation just simply doesn't work.

Am I wrong Brad?

I personally like the layout and I don't find it unusable. If I click on the main category I can see who has posted last and I like seeing who has added new graphics to that area on the main page. I also like the fact that I can click install and release graphics with more of a Modification layout.

With that said, Shelly does post in that area a lot so her input should be highly considered. She has breathed a lot of life into that area. A few little changes here or there of her sake shouldn't hurt a thing.
