What if you put the NRA eagles and tanks and whatnot in the grey box under the feedback and online status as suggested by an earlier post, and then add the "link to post" in the space currently occupied by the eagles and tanks? Just because you have 2 icons, does not mean more wont be available soon! 
One of the new "features" allows us to reward people for anything. I'll give you an example that will go live soon (after site is fixed up for everyone!), we want to improve our gun pr0n on instagram, so we will be creating an instagram badge for anyone who lets us share their photo and gets selected to be shared. The more photos we use from the same individual, the icon will gain in prominence. The goal is to be able to share with the firearm community while at the same time rewarding people here for just doing what they love.

Agreed! I know Arfcom is a business at the end of the day, but it's Sunday. Go relax, shoot, BBQ, drink a cold beer or glass of whiskey. We all have jobs that consume us, but we also need to find the time to relax or we'll end up looking like Hillary.  I can't rest peacefully until I know things are done. I hate having things waiting for me and people counting on me. I'll go to bed in a minute, that's enough for me for now.

Yikes, "Report" is directly over "Next Page."
Although since Lifers can call other members shit stains and tell them to fuck off, I guess the Report button is irrelevant? |

Huge improvement! Thank you @GoatBoy Here are the issues I'm still having: Mobile, Chrome on Android (Samsung Galaxy Note 5): 1. YouTube videos are only showing the left half of the video. The right half is cut off, and I can't scroll to the right or zoom out. 2. Text is wrapping for the subforum descriptions, e.g. under Armory, New Products says: Previews of New Guns and Gea r! Desktop, Chrome on Windows 10: 1. Drop-down menus instead of tabs are cumbersome. 2. "Select File" button being centered really makes it look like the Submit button now. Could the "Select File" and "Upload" be moved over to the left in line with the other buttons, then reverse the order of the buttons so "Submit" is on the right? And a suggestion: Would it be possible to get Polls added when creating a new topic rather than having to edit it after posting it? NO Submit is right where it needs to be, now |

Goatboy,
can you also work your magic so that when i hover over a title in Active Topics, i get that couple sentence blurb appear, like i do in General Discussion? helps me decide whether the topic is of interest, especially since titles the user puts in aren't always that descriptive. helps tons in GD; would be nice in Active Topics. thank you for all your hard work. hope you get some sleep soon. for the urination problem, have you considered a Stadium Pal ?

Looks a lot better, thanks! Can we please have the communities bar that you added to the bottom of every page also at the top of every page, like the tools bar is now? On my laptop I'm using 80% zoom now and have the text in threads at an ok size, but now the text while typing this reply is tiny. And text is different sizes in different parts of the forum. Like text still looks bigger than I'd like when in a forum looking through all the thread titles, but too small when in a community looking at the forum titles. I also much preferred having the feedback stat #s visible without having to mouse over the $. Thanks I've been thinking about something, but I don't know how practical it is... What if there was a communities bar like you describe, but instead of simple links, they become drop downs like the "Discussion Forums" thing is now? So, instead of clicking on "Armory," loading a page, and clicking on "Curios & Relics," you could simply hover over "Armory," and get "Curious & Relics" as a direct option. This would save a click, a load, and some scrolling. The biggest problem I see with this is Hometown and Industry have too many subforums. Thoughts? |

I have never, ever... needed the readily available options to check my mail, logout, adjust my preferences, upgrade my membership,build a gun or other things.... while I am in the middle of reading a thread. I have those options at the top of the page... and now, when I reach the bottom... if I still want to do any of those things - I have an arrow that will take me there. I'm not saying kill it - just give me the option of not having it
EDIT: Also, as an aside - F5 iRules are pretty handy for platform detection and direction to the proper VIP and portal

The adjustments GoatBoy has been making are just making it that much better, even if some do borrow from the old site's qualities a bit. |

On the old site, they were the sort of old school links that had shading/effects to look almost like physical buttons. So, they did have a sort of outline. On this version, the outline is subdued (at least in the color scheme I'm using), but the nice twist is that the links actually react when you hover over them (they didn't in the old version). |
