June 1, 200817 yr Author comment_9984 I really never get feedback from anyone at all. So it's pretty hard to decide the ebst way to present things here, which features to keep and drop, how to better organize it, what the default skin should look like, etc... I once again rearranged forums. I mainly did it because there were so many different areas it was kind of annoying trying to get to the desired location, in my opinion. I figured if I broke it up into site, life, sports, entertainment then it would be much easier to find things based on memory than with things divided into a lot more areas. I even considered putting all sports back as subcategories and all entertainment as subcategories. It's really tough deciding on all of this because I am never satisfied that it is organized well or set up in an easily navigatable way. I'm sure I will once again change things, but until there is a lot of activtity and suggestions ehre it's going to be hard to know what a large majority of people are going to like. I split the forum discussion area back into news and discussion forums. I'll try my best to simplify things from now onby simply talking about new things and upgrades in the site News area and then having fewer and more simplified "general" discussion topics for features in the site Discussion area. Also you can post in the site Discussiona rea if you have issues, but if you think they are bugs, then post in the Bugs area instead of a forum. Thanks

December 16, 200817 yr Author comment_11010 Cool. Well what I got rid of in topics is the who viewed the topic today modification. I ntoiced that adds three queries. I temporarily took out 4 more queries (from where I made it myself where it tells in the member bar when there are new blogs, images, reviews, or betting matchups) and it did almost no change to the page load times so I put them back in. If those being gone had helped, then I would have still elft them everywhere except here and profiles. But like I said, I put them back in now. Sometimes topics seem to kind of "hang" before the whole page loads, but I think it may be because of so many images in a topic (such as the mood images and sigs).
