New HomePage!

**sanjay** · 02-25-2009, 04:35 PM

You have probably already noticed our new homepage since we are going live as I write this. We have decided to give ClubXB a much better look and feel than the old software was capable.

Our system (CrowdReport) is a seamless integration of Vbulletin and WordPress that allows us to share discussions in the same way that the old frontpage did, but it also gives us the opportunity to select any member created thread and publish it to the homepage. This way, the best content from the community is showcased in addition to the editorial provided by our tireless news team.

Please feel free to voice your comments. I realize that forum members can be grumpy about change, but we are deploying this system across all of our forums and so far members have been very happy!

Questions? Comments? Bugs? Please feel free to play around and let us know your thoughts.

If you hate it then please bookmark this: http://www.clubxb.com/latest_posts.php and you will experience no change.

Sanjay

you can click on "Latest Posts" on the navbar if you want that view and you can bookmark it instead of the frontpage if you like. It is reformatted, but the content is still there.

SAKURA · 02-25-2009, 06:41 PM

lets give it a couple of days, as we navigate through the new main page and see if we can catch any snags.

JerryXb · 02-25-2009, 08:26 PM

Wow, just changed in the last hour or two. Looks polished so far, time to explore...

looks great, i love it

**ogerdgonz** · 02-26-2009, 10:18 AM

I did your new post suggestion of bookmarking that page and you have to refresh the new posts search.

Rather than latest posts on the home page if you are logged in it should read new posts and then put a log in button and the scionpro banner ad back in.

Then we are good to go!!

When I first saw it I was like..WTF?!?!?!?!?!?!? But I am getting a used to it...Change is good...I think. Haha!
