Do we have the ability to modify the content displayed on the Index page? If so, I would vote for:
Get rid of the list of birthdays
Increase the number of displayed Status updates from five to ten
Increase the number of Recent topics from five to ten
Shorten the width of the top section (which contains the banner ad & Leaders/Legends graphics) to equal the width of the forums, then have the right-hand column start immediately underneath the banner (immediately below "View New Content").
People really like the Status updates, and they generate a lot of traffic. Allowing more of them would only benefit the site and create more conversation.
Nothing against the people with birthdays, but I just don't see this as a big driver of interest. If nothing else, could we move that module to the bottom?
Yeah and we should definitely get to that. Good suggestions. Right now though, I don't think we can change anything....except for what's located in a 'block' (i.e, the featured link)
Alhough I was looking around for a way to increase the # of status updates and didn't find it.
Dave, I've pinned the topic that has the information. The one thing I would recommend changing is the host - remove the IP address and substitute huskerboard.com.
