I love the way that the SBA has "Start Your Legacy" across the banner at the top of their site. Just jump right into it

What is the benefit of this over the current format? To me, the "last 15 minutes" is more relevant if I'm trying to contact someone.

Displaying that 285 users were online today is an easy gauge of the sites acitivity to outsiders.
On top of that, it just looks good.

I've made a bunch of changes today, might get time to do more in a bit but I figured I'd give everyone a little update:
  • Added Create A Player, beaujeaxbeaux, and player builder to header menus (except IPB, I just added create a player because it doesn't have drop downs yet and there's limited space)
  • Auto hide the sidebar on the dark/light themes when under 1150px wide, this prevents the forums from going outside the content border and looking weird
  • Darkened the background slightly on the netpen theme so it's not so blinding

If you don't see any of these changes on your end just hold Ctrl and hit F5.

The intimidation comes from there being way too many sub forums. Merge things, and turn some forums into just threads in other ones.

Off the suggestions the two I think will help the most are grouping everything that you do to improve your player into one forum, then everything involving actual simming into one forum.

I agree, that one is up to HO though. I know @Eggy216 wanted to do some sort of cleanup, but I'm not sure how far they have gotten with that.

Planning to do it towards the middle/end of the regular season. . .we were having so many issues with the forum leading into the recruitment so I couldn't do it pre-recruitment, and seemed like a bad idea to move things during the actual recruitment lol

Thanks, I’ve seen the link but I think it’s much more beneficial for it to be displayed in plain sight.
I would be shocked if there’s not an option for it in the board/layout settings.

Then you should be shocked I guess. I can do it, it'll just take some figuring out.

@DrunkenTeddy I don’t want to over-quote, but that’s incredible. It’s still beyond me how such a basic feature that is available on free forum software such as Jcink and zeta boards would be a struggle to implement on a top-of-the-line engine such as IPB.

Again, not upset with you, rather IPB lol.

To clarify, this forum is MyBB, not IPB. That being said, I've added today's online list to the bottom of the light/dark themes. Unfortunately I can't hide the guests from the count, the majority of these "guests" are search crawlers since I'm in the middle of getting google to index our site, but oh well, it's there now.

Well that explains it, since I know for damn sure that it’s a mod available to IPB.

But thanks, this is a good start.
