Feedback needed: Sneak Peak new.dnforum.com

[DomainBuyerBroker]

I just finished re-bookmarking all the old URLs. Will the site have all new URLs.

Also, less text and easier navigation is what I would suggest.

This would solve many problems:
1) less clutter
2) people will browse in different sections according to their budget
3) Newbie sellers will get to see what reasonable prices for their domains are, and will be less likely to clutter the forum with domains with RIDICULOUS asking prices

I agree, that makes search the good way. Moreover, current version is quite nice, little bit too serious (although i don't know if the design is still due to a change).

Hope you don't mind if I throw in my 2cents:

I find the font on the navigation makes some of the letters run too close together causing the visitor to pause and read more carefully, thus effecting usability.

I like the blending of expandable and fixed width page formatting. Fixed width is good for key entry pages. It's like a summary of what's inside the given section. Expandable width is great for content areas like the forum itself or like what you did for the domain trader area.

Personally, I find the colours to be on the dark side which may have a depressing effect especially if people are going to spend a long period of time per session.

The home page is a lot easier to read than the current home page.

Not a small task by any stretch. You are definately on the right track here.

Cheers.

This is on hold while we re-look at it.

Thanks to all that contributed.

Although you have said that its on hold, may I suggest that any improvements should have the old redirect method still pointing to specific parts of the website. I noticed since you did some changes on the "static" URLS for vbulletin the format of the url changed and therefore I now have to go through the main page till i can either remember or go through my bookmark. Instead a .htaccess or some other method of redirecting would be nice and great!

thanks
