have your say! Community Dashboard

General suggestion's thread in regards to the recent announcement:

It's amazingly simple and handy... however to me at least, this isn't the issue. the forum index is a little... well, too cluttered at least to me n on my resolution. the black lines are where I've spliced together multiple screenshots:

 

on the site preupdate we could get rid of the sidebar... but this is no longer the case it seems. :(

is there anyway of putting those statistics somewhere? like in the dashboard, and perhaps moving 'Staff Online' to sections where it's perhaps more appropriate? I feel the less cluttered the side bar, the more readable this will be because none of it is aligned very well and it just looks ugly.

I had no idea that, that problem had gotten that bad. I'm guessing by your resolution that you're using an old laptop, or an odd resolution (My guess is 1366 x 768), if you can try a better resolution, I use it on 1920 x 1080 and it doesn't quite look that bad (the font is far more readable).

I've knocked up a "Stats" Page which practically eliminates the need for most of that information from being displayed on the forum index, and we can put a link under the information menu to this page: https://ecchidreams.com/stats This is a very quick, very clean mock up. In the meantime I will remove most of the contents of the sidebar to clean it up, so we can see what it looks like. 

Edit: I've made the changes and I'll be open to feedback, I will be putting a button in the dashboard for Stats as well, at some point. I've moved roleplaying adverts here, in topic listings:

As I said we'll see how its received if I don't hear any complaints then I'll assume good job done. Admittedly in my opinion it does make the index look a little tidier, although, I dunno it doesn't feel right somehow. I'm not a very good designer. xD

Edit 2: 

I'm going to play around with this; this just doesn't 'feel' right either.

Edit 3:

I've cleaned it up a little; and what's in there is fine. Although we do now have a new Stats and Leaderboards page. When we have the Awards and EcchiCredit system working again I will find a way of putting some kind of stats in there, not a cheap half-arsed attempt like it is now though, although it's fine for what's in there. :) Let me know how it looks on your resolution.

it was 1366x768 but now its 1600x900 and it looks-at least to me, much better. I also think the stats page is pretty awesome. on the mobile it looks like it flows pretty nicely. thanks @Wolfie
