Maxminis General
- General News (news about the site, Stickies, policies etc goes here)
- Forums Discussion (bugs, requests, features, etc goes here)
- Miniatures News (The old General Discussion)
Skirmish (Keep the skirmish discussion under one roof)
- DDM
- SWM
- AAM
- DB
Trading (Keep all business related stuff in one place)
- DDM
- SWM
- AAM
- DB
- References
- Q&A
- Marketplace
Meetingplace (Meet and greet fellow players of all things miniatures here)
- Tournaments
- Meeting place
Odds and Sods (Stuff that's too cool for school)
- Roleplaying
- Crafters Corner
- Off-Topic
- Vassal

Should keep black header gunk to a minimum, and a more organized setting for what this site mostly is. (Honestly, how many people here -solely- play AAM/DB/SWM?)

This looks pretty good, but I would rather have it the old way.

Yikes. And now I don't.



(Not that it seems to matter.)

Am I the only one who is annoyed that the right third of the screen is taken up with that chat window?  Is there a way to hide it or something?

Regards,

V

The right third is taken up by the chat, and the left half is taken up by the user ID.  Leaving 1/6 of the screen devoted to the actual message.

I think that we need a better way to view the pages.

What happened to the (my) Miniature collection list?  I can't find it anywhere?

 I'm getting an error when I look under trade 'My Mini's'. 

Please, some help. 

Just wanted to add my point of view... I think that the sum of new layout and new organisation is too much. I am, as most people having been here for a long time, quite reluctant to any kind of change in my habits. However, I can understand the reasons for change, but so many things are not working in this new environment (that is, either not working or I haven't been able to find the right button that I decided to voice my opinion anyway.

1/ The new "layout": well... I can get used to it. I reaaaaally don't like it now, but I can get used to it. However, all the new options and new ways of doing are so uneasy to find that I feel like my dad did when he discovered the dreaded VCR technology. I believe a "tutorial" of sorts would help people find their way here. And the chat thing? Ugly. Non-practical. Detracting from the forum experience.

2/ I have thought for a few days that the maxminis community was no more. Due to the "General" having threads a week old on the first page. Then I discovered the move of the old "General" topics to the DDM general, and stuff. Well, that's something I don't understand. I believe most people here are interested to know about DDM, SWM, AAM, Dreamblade AND THE REST, as long as it remains "general" news and views. Once those become too detailed, e.g. skirmish discussions or custom minis, I can understand the need not to clog the general and move to "specialised" forums and threads. Now I had to look hard to find out people's opinions on Blood War preview 2. I would like to read some general info from people having seen the dreamblade minis. I am interested in taking a look at the upcoming SWM huge pieces. I KNOW I can read all the forums and find the info, that's not my point. My point is all this "too fast-paced to follow", "generic" news, that is the heart of the community.

3/ Not a huge lot of other issues now, but I think many small things add to the general feeling of "distress". Trading is problematic. H/W lists have disappeared. Can't find threads. Can't find people. And the fact that we are in a holiday / no big news period, many people are just not there or not posting, adding to the feeling of emptiness. Actually, that is my feeling of late - I feel "alone" when on maxminis. Never felt that way before... crowded place, opinions, useless news, can't track a thread because it's moving to page 2 too fast... now I'm looking at one-week old threads on page 1 of the "General".

I hope this will help the "doers" understand the point of view of a quiet "old timer"... Anyway, thanks all for actually DOING something for this community. Me and all the others complaining is only OK insofar as we don't forget to THANK YOU for all the time you're spending trying to improve things - despite my point of view at this time, most changes in the past were for the better.

Cheers
