Forum:New Wikia Home Page Design

I think the About Wikia page should be linked to with far more prominence on the main page. A lot of first-time visitors to the Wikia main page will not understand the concept of Wikia from the short blurb there now and will look for a link to more info. At the moment the only link is right at the bottom next to the small Wikia logo. Bobo12345 03:38, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

On the "user tools" line (Preferences, Watchlist, etc.), the link to the user's talk page is erroneously labeled "Discuss this page". This needs to be fixed. --Algorithm 07:51, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

I hate to have to nudje about this again but there are still problems with the new skins in Hebrew wikia and also when Hebrew is used as the interface language. The main thing is lack of "direction=rtl" style directives which causes texts to align to the right, table cells to appear in an opposite order, etc. There are also some  grammar and writing style mistakes in some of the skin's Hebrew texts. --Oshani 13:15, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

I just logged on to the Wikia main page and I have a few comments on it. It doesn't really fit in to the Monobook style, personally I was very fond of the previous main page was very attractive having the active wikis, featured articles and collaboration of the month. I do understand the importance to maintain the front page of a website but has anyone thought that you could have basically the same picture and text using the old format of the main page? Also, I find the new one hard to navigate vs. having my user links on the top right of the page and the left sidebar. In User:Muppets101/Sandbox I'll try a test main page on what I suggested above.

 * I don't really like it. The original was easy to navigate all around the site, this one I can't access the forums and can't see the collaboration of the month. Sorry. Oh it's really narrow; I'm on a widescreen laptop and 50% of it is blank space; the original filled it all up.--Richard (Talk - Contribs) 22:14, 29 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Another plea for a forums link. I was instantly lost on the new page, partly because the lefthand panel wasnt displaying. Not too keen on the yellow lettering and the search box should be an empty box I think at the minute it looks like a yellow flash - it took me a while to see what it was. I like the white space although the layout of the columns at the foot of the page doesnt look right, the headings floating too far above the content. Probably neds more work and getting used to itDr Joe Kiff


 * Special:Recentchages to. Thats the page I visit the most, but I can't find a single link on the homepage to bring me to any page I can navigate from. ~Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) tricks Jun 30, 2007 @ 07:31 (UTC)

Most of the links on the new home page are not working for me. (I'm using Safari, if that matters.) So far the only working links I've found are the one to create a new account or to go to my user and talk pages. -- CocoaZen 01:15, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
