Site changes

[Ed]

If you’re reading this, you’ve almost certainly noticed some of the changes which have happened today. These are:

• The addition of a logo at the top.
• The addition of a mini – “Latest Activity” pane at the top.
• A links panel to main areas of the site – at the top.
• Blog layout revamp – many more posts per page and video thumbnails.
• Combined two forum topics.
• Some minor main menu tweaks.

There’s more work to go on the Forum, I believe, but I’m not yet sure what the finished layout will look like.

I’d love to know what mobile users think of the new panes at the top.

What do you all think of the new main page?

Can you all see the new main page?

The main site seems to need a bit of love and attention. The community pages are good, I like it. Can probably suggest a few more small cosmetic things but nothing major. Stuff like changing the text on the links for the vote offs so they all follow the same format. Like I said nothing major. Normally you can update the text displayed in a link without changing the actual link location

 

The main non community page seems to be lacking updates since January.

Would be cool to see some more frequent updates on there too might help draw more attention if it gets more up to date stuff on it.

If you’re referring to NakedExperiment.com as opposed to Community.NakedExposure.com, then I’m not working on that. I would close it if I could.

The community gets 300-450 unique visitors per week. The root domain gets just 2-4. I have extremely limited time so I have to limit my time to were the action is. It would take months of concerted effort (including content posts) to get the root domain site up to anything significant and I just don’t have the time. I’m struggling to get enough free time to manage the community site.

I can change the Vote-Off links in the menu but would that actually make any difference?

The orange banner needs a title as it looks a little like a warning box with no context.

What elements of the website scouts be delegated? Is there any way we could assist with content with final say on upload being ratified by @Ed…?

If a few of us took on less loved areas of the website and suggested content etc, would this work?

[Ed]

Adding a title takes up 2 lines of the box (that’s how it works). I removed the title as I figured it was reasonably obvious and only having 4 lines of activity is too small.

I tried 5-6 of the 16 available colour schemes for the box and the orange one was the one I thought worked best.

I can’t give edit/post access to parts of the site. It’s all or nothing. It’s not so much malicious intent that worries me but that innocent mistakes could take out the site or cause me a huge amount of repair work.

[Ed]

Is grey better?

[Matt]

No, leave it as it is, at least it stands out and says ‘read me’!

I thought it would be good to get content created by others so take some of the effort of you. You would still need to prod read and upload, but at least you wouldn’t be responsible for creating all the content…?

Could we have a members story section perhaps? If we could get a few people writing stories, true or fiction about naked in public, embarrassing or anything that fits in with the website goals that might be fun and interesting addition to the site. Perhaps wheee appropriate, with a few photos to accompany the dialogue…? If it was fiction then a bit of role play for the photos maybe?
perhaps this would be interesting for our  female members too and an opportunity to contribute without necessarily getting naked if they don’t feel comfortable?

[Ed]

Back when the community had the “Groups” feature, there was a group for stories and accounts. When I got rid of the Groups system, I made a forum for “Accounts and Stories” but it remained dead the whole time it was available (over a year I think).

I could add a forum topic for stories but I’m reluctant to add page-creation rights to any users. It might be okay but it could easily become a lot of extra work for me. There would have to be some sort of trusted users system. I’ll look into the technicalities of it and see what is viable.

I’ve made some more minor tweaks. More to come!
