Thanks for posting this thread @Brian!
I'm working on a few surprises that I'm pretty excited about. the forum is going to get a nice little refresh design wise. We'll be sticking with the same theme, but with a few improvements that will make it feel a little more fresh than it has been. It will be the first refresh since 2014 and I'm pretty excited about it.
The sidebar is here to stay. It was supposed to be coupled with the update, but people seem to like it, so it's going to stay and I don't see any point in waiting. The good news is that 1) It can be disabled in the user CP (under user options I believe, there is a checkbox.) 2), It won't display on screens that can't handle it (e.g. mobile phone browsers), so I think we have the best of both worlds. I'm gonna make the widgets look a little better too. Anyone have suggestions on what they think should go there?
3) The board layout is going to get a little more creative in the days going forward. we're gonna 1) take any user suggestions on what you want to see (Post them here! They will be seriously considered!) and 2), we are going to go through the forums and look for the content that is the most popular, and build an updated layout based on what people seem to be discussing the most.
If anyone has any mockups or outlines they'd like to see, please, by all means, submit them! We need your suggestions! This is going to be a community wide project that will breath some great new fresh energy into our community.
Oh, and icing on the top, our five year anniversary is coming around the corner as well! Words can't express how excited and thrilled I am to see the Makesetation project still running five years later. And I never would have guessed. Thank you so much to everyone who has been a part of the community, and for letting me be a part of the project myself. As busy as I am juggling the obligations of real life, I always enjoy coming here to kick back every once in a while. It's an atmosphere I look forward to being a part of every time I'm here.
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas? Feedback? Please post them here! All feedback will be seriously considered!
Sincerely,
-Blake.
