As most of you have noticed by now, we've enabled the sidebar on all pages across the forum pages. Now you can see who's online, latest discussions and more besides the thread you are reading. We will be rolling more content on the sidebar very soon.

We wish to know what you think about the change in layout. So, share your feedback and let us know what's awesome and what sucks.

Waiting for replies from all of you.

There's a LOT more we can do with the sidebar in place. Plus, I myself hated the new layout at first. But as it turns out; it makes reading faster because it reduces the overall eye-movements. We did not compromise on font size for the main text of the size.

We've more stuff to share, but we'll do that once we start getting feedback from all our users. We hope to have comments from all our regular and most active users.

Though it looks congested,It's very helpful in trolling latest discussion pages faster.

Also, The "likes recieved" are hidden in post, that I dislike 👎
Hide the no. of posts, but don't hide "likes received". Number of likes received determines your no. of useful posts. Everyone can spam thousands posts, few can post useful ones.
Just my opinion.

We can control what's displayed there. I thought it adds no value 😉 . Yeah; I think 'Likes Received' could be a good stat to display. What do people say?

Honestly speaking, I dislike the new layout. Looks kinda, umm, messy. It may be placed in bottom in horizontal alignment rather than vertical. That would serve the purpose without affecting the look.

its very congested...
Please don't hide likes.. as #-Link-Snipped-# said, it determines no. of useful posts..

The message space has been shrunk; but considering that we were wasting a lot of space on the right side of the messages; a 250px sidebar offered a perfect match : for mini-profiles, main content, for ads and for contents in the sidebar. As I said; I felt the new layout was congested at first. But now, it seems to be the one of the better layouts we've ever had.

We're taking the step to make sure we're prepared for the new things coming on CE 😉 .

In the mean time, I've removed the total posts counts and replaced it with the total number of 'likes' each member has received.

What else do we need there? And why?

The_Big_KWhat else do we need there? And why?
How about CE-Ranks as per Likes received ?

& there should be certain protocol on "liking".
You shouldn't "like" just because fellow CEan tagged you/or commented, this will turn out to be a "you like, I like" game.
I think, Disabling "Like" button in "Chit Chat section" will be good. I have seen plenty of CEans have gathered plenty of likes in Chit-Chat section than the likes they have ever been able to earn in respective "Technical Discussion forum".

You should "like" ONLY if the post comes out to be useful to you & informative.

What say ?

last time the CE upgrade is better than the previous and I believe the coming is good than this - I'd like notifications to appear like the message that lead me into this thread. It's actually attracted me to click that. It might work for joining more CEans into CE as well as people don't like to read long and informative messages like it's now.

i.e., when ever some one logged on to CE - if a message appears like this join in or something like that - then there'll be a requirement that CEan has to close that window there the chances of CEan joining in and moving forward will be more. We always attract towards something flashing and make sure that it's not too flashy too 😉

This is only a suggestion Biggie - as it's free of cost 😛 👍

i liked the new layout....it fills the time gap of searching new threads and latest discussions,but i felt that a person may get sticked to these latest threads leaving many more threads which require replies from many wise people, its better if the threads in latest discussions is increasing after a certain period...(i mean half an hour to half an hour like that)...rest of the things are good!

It looks like a wise use of space to me and the best thing- I can keep an eye on everything going around.
I think that the changes have added life to the basic layout, it somehow looks a bit more interactive to me 😛

A bit faster experience for the folks that keep watching for the latest discussion.'

Also, showing online users on every page is good.
Liked the changes.

The_Big_KThe message space has been shrunk; ...
That's the one think I like about it.

Something that I dislike about a lot of websites is the demand that I keep my browser wide. But in fact I tend to keep a lot of windows open and bounce around. I keep my browser narrow enough that I can only see about half of the new column. So it's nice that the message area is now designed to be a convenient width.

Yeah we have. But as soon as we visit the site, It says "become a member" in the right side, as far as I know. Instead it can have a login button. My suggestion.

Hey ! now i will tell you what really sucks ! there is this new side-thingy called the "latest discussions". when i just point my cursor over a link present there, then a black bubble appears and vibrates like as if it will explode if you don't click on it. but when i click on the link, it never opens.

You are not supposed to click the black bubble. It just reads the whole title for you.
I hope I am not missing something here.

Latest Discussion on every thread page is a good idea. Users online and Birthdays is not necessary on every page- redundancy; does not solve waste of space issue.
