The Front Page

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Howdy club, a very good idea was brought up tonight, suggesting we alter the front page to have the upcoming events, as opposed to the current write-ups method. I have suggested two different methods of doing so.
One would be a straight up list. If it we had an event on September 1st, 14th and 30th, the front page would look like:
September 1st - First Run
September 14th - Meeting
September 30th - Second Run

The second style still contains the list of the former type, simply with a brief line about the next upcoming event (With a touch more info). Say the date was September 5th, the second style would look like this:
Next event is September 14th. It's the Fiero club meeting, located at the usual Ricky's, starting at 6:00pm.
September 1st - First Run
September 14th - Meeting
September 30th - Second Run

Please make your vote up top, or if you have an alternative idea or any suggestions on how to improve the idea, feel free to post.

	Never shift into reverse without a back-up plan.

	I like this idea, but it seems like there would still be plenty of room for the most current wrap-up there, or at least the first couple paragraphs of it.

	I like the second style, the meeting wrap up could alway be in the forum.

	I think it would be nice to have the next event up top with some info and a link to the main thread. Followed by a list of the next 3 or so events and dates. And after that have the most recent write up from our last event/meeting.

	That's another good idea. Would keep things uncluttered, but still informative.

	Let me know what I can do to help then when you have it figured out exactly what you want to do. Keeping in mind that you can format a post in that particular thread to show up on the home page.

	I think to make things easiest for you, that's precisely what I'll do whenever a consensus is obtained. I'll just go through and edit the existing thread, stealing Damien's schedule from the other thread. Then I can update as needed. I figured I'd let the poll run the full month though, just in case anyone missed it. Then we can discuss what will happen at the meet.
