One thought... and thinking hurts, trust me... but is there any way within the Icons of Horror section to get more in the way of latest posts listed for the sub-boards given we have so many of them? It might actually increase traffic/posts there. Hmm... it 'might' be possible to list all the boards separately at the bottom of the page, but then it kind of defeats the purpose of having the new layout. The only other option would be separate the 'icons' on the main menu. I guess it would stand out more that way. Thoughts..?

What if it was just listed off to the side of the animation to enter the board? The animation would still be there, only now you'd have the "Last Post in........" off to the side of it. That way, we'd see where the activity is instead of having to go into each board to see that way.

Good idea! It does seem to take ages to delve into every icon - only to discover nothing new since your last visit.

Agreed. I do that everyday and get frustrated when that "New Posts since Last Visit" icon is there only to find that it's just one or two threads updated, yet you spend several minutes going through each one to see where they are.

I love this site and I really love what you've done with it.
But I do have a couple of ideas.
I think that it may be a good idea to have a Chucky board. We have Freddy, Jason, leatherface and Michael Myres. I reckon Chucky definatley deserves a board.
Hellraiser could have a board too, but I'd mainly like to see Chucky get one.

Hmmmm.....not sure if anyone would want to add anymore boards here at the moment. But I would support a Hellraiser board and would even be moderator. Also, my own idea for a board would be an Asian Horror section, since I am on an Asian horror kick.... And would also be willing to be moderator. Not sure how much of interest there would be here though.

Agree on both Jen... I also think we should guests semoe of the boards - might entice some of them to join.

I'd probably go with the Hellraiser one as a stand-alone board. The other 2 i'd make sub-boards in the Horror in General section. What do you think..?

The only thing I worry about is the board looking too crowded! The Icons of Horror was great except for not being able to see the newest posts. Maybe we can make a horror board with all the titles being the subboards. That would make the main page look neater.

Though I guess like CK mentioned, we would want it to look neater. I did like the Icons of Horror as well....it was great visually, but yes it was a bit of a pain not knowing when there were new posts. LOL@Toad

Toad had had a long day... tired and emotional. I think I was trying to suggest that we allow guests to 'semoe' (translated as 'see more'), but as Jen said restricting access to members areas.

I think the main page looks neat enough, adding a Hellraiser one to the main board wouldn't be that bad.
As for Asian horror, do a sub-board in Horror in General and limit it to there. That would still allow for it to be there without overly cluttering the main one.

I completely agree with Toad here. We always talk about needing more active members, but we have the boards locked tight so that guests can't see the threads at all. Personally, had I only been able to see the board as it looks to guests now when I joined I don't know that I would have joined at all. Proboards is full of underdeveloped and boring boards that nobody visits and posts on. this is not one of them, but it kind of looks that way to guests right now. What would be the motivation to join?
