I see that the "Released Articles" forum is being formatted differently than other forums when you click on it. It is similar, graphically, to the new format "Gear Review" forum that attroll's been working on. Each entry's got a big space on the left for a chosen graphic, and then the main body has the article title, the first two or three lines of the article text, and it also shows how many comments the article has received. Each entry takes up a lot more room so there is only room for ten entries per page, instead of the 50 that other forums have. Also, the default order the articles fall in is alphabetical by article title, instead of being ordered by how recent the latest comment is on the article, the way the default is set for other forums.
My preference would be to go back to the way the Released Articles Forum used to be formatted. This new format takes up a lot more room on the screen without really adding anything new the old format didn't have, except for the possible graphic (the first two or three lines of article text can be seen just as well in the old format by just scrolling over the entry with your cursor). I think the graphic could be useful in the Gear Review Forum as a picture of the product could be included here, but it doesn't seem so useful to me in the Released Articles Forum. And as it stands now the new format does not include the number of views an article has received like the old format did, and I like seeing that information. It gives me an idea of how useful members are finding a particular article. I tend to be really text and info oriented, and not graphics oriented, and the new format takes up more space with no info payoff.
In the months I've been a member, and in the months I was lurking before I became a member, I've really been impressed with how diligent attroll and sgt rock and the forum monitors have been about continuing to update and improve the web site and it's obvious how much work that has involved. So I'm not saying "don't change a thing," or that I'm not grateful for changes I've seen that I've really liked -- I'm just saying this is one small change I'm not wild about. It would be nice to know what others think about it.
