There seem to be mixed opinions regarding some of the new parts of the site. In an attempt to quickly and efficiently figure out what to keep and what to change, here are some simple yes / no points I'd like people to answer

1) Do you like the horizontal main menu?

2) Would you prefer the sub-menus to be activated on hover?

3) Do you like the new rich text editor? If no, then is it the idea of a rich text editor in general or this particular implementation?

4) Do you like the idea of a news system where only the most popular stories are shown on the front page?

5) Do you like popularity to be measured by "votes" or simply by page impressions?

6) Do you like the rich text for news stories (embed videos, flash files, edit layout and colours) or just simple text news stories?

Simple answers to each so we can effectively "vote" and I can make some changes. Any other comments / suggestions also welcome in here

1. Yes, only if 2 is yes.
2. Yes.
3. Yes.
4. Yes. (if it is possible to get new news to the front page)
5. I like votes. However once agian, it should be possible to get the news articles to the front page. (otherwise their not really ever seen)
6. YES.

 

For those of you who want to remove a quote from within a quite. Use the 6th button on the bottom row from the left. (it is 3 horizontal bars, the one in the middle is blue, longer than the one above and below it, and it has a arrow pointing right)

Select the 'quote' box you wanna remove. Then click that button. POOF. There ya go. Wont be bothered by that pesky quite anymore. (this works for quotes in quotes in quotes in quotes... take out the first quote you dont want, everything else is now gone)

One way to solve the news problem would be to put in a system that forces news that is 2 days old to 'reset' to a 'new news article' status, and thus allowing 'new' news to come forward. (and if that news item is just that damn popular it will come back forward)
