It’s so confusing in here! I don’t know where’s the feedback thread.

And where can we find instructions on adding images and videos?

I think your site is too busy-looking and wordy! There’re too many sneak preview buckets all over the place. Remove the top-most bucket below the masthead as it’s distracting and redundant. The ad can be moved below.

The abstract to describe what each Thread is all about can be moved to L2 upon clicking the Heading.

The central column is too cluttered and narrower than the right-most column! Add coloured/bold Sub-topic Heading to inform who wrote what, when and regarding which sub-topic. So many rubbish can fall under “RECESS” alone. It’s not very intuitive to users now which thread is being discussed.

The right-most column is too wide! Wider than the central column! Is it serving the same function as the right-most column?
Inside the right-most bucket, while there’s a Sub-topic Heading, it only appears once at the top, e.g. “LCentral”. There’s no mention of author/date/time-stamp when subsequent posts are being added by others. As such, this bucket can grow very long, if you do not condense all related posts under the same sub-topic into 1 row.

The default Avatars are taking up too much space. The huge bucket is distracting as users don’t put their profile pics anyways. Why not just put the userids? This statistics bucket should be reduced in size.

@Zeit Thank you for your feedback! The programmers have finally reversed the order of the posts and things seem more meaningful now. Lets monitor the forum for a couple of days and we shall see what’s next.

I still see the most recent ones at the top, and older ones below.

The right column “recent posts” doesn’t show the author of the post. If there is a username shown, it is the person the reply is directed to - very confusing.

It’s not clear which post a person is responding to, so I get confused about what is being discussed.

Noticed that the Unread Posts and Recent Posts options are available now.

Perhaps can do away with the “preview” panels on the top and right of the pages then? Less clattered that way.

Site is looking a bit more familiar I think. Or maybe I am just getting used to its new looks.

It is still looking a bit too busy. Agree with Chenlaoshi, can do away with all the previews. There is also no need for the info of the online users and active users to be so prominent and to appear even in the subtopic pages.

It’s still rather quiet. So who’s going where for holidays? I am looking for inspiration.

@Funz We just spent a few days in Shanghai - and it rained 50% of the time!
No plans for any more vacations this year - my husband has suggested a local staycation in Dec as we are too lazy to think about going overseas.
Tentative plans for next spring (Guilin) and summer (Berlin/Prague)! Haven’t done any serious research yet.

@slmkhoo Good thing you were not there when the typhoon hit.

DS finally got his leave schedule and we can only go for a short trip. So looking at North Vietnam.
