blonde poker forum

I thought someone would have mentioned it before now but since no one has I will.

I always look at the home page first for any interesting articles before going on the forum. You now have drop down community to find the forum as the link is no longer there.

Doesnt this make it harder for any noobs or is that the idea?

Hi. I use that link to. I'm afraid I'm not sure when it was removed or why.

I am just curious as to why it has been made harder to find the forum.

Hi Suzanne,

As far as I know, the Site Navigation has not changed for some time, though I could be wrong. Certainly, we have no deliberate plan or wish to make it harder for "noobs" to locate our Forum. Traffic figures do not suggest there is any discernible problem, though you could of course be right.

I don't, personally, experience this problem, as my Default page is the Forum, & therefore when I wish to visit the Forum, my Browser directs me straight there, rather than via the Home Page.

But I will have a word with our Techies & ask them if the Site Navigation has been changed recently.

Maybe that is why it has not been spotted...I like to see the home page and read up on any articles I find interesting before going into the forum and then would click on the forum link that was on the homepage. It wasnt very obvious before (i introduced a friend and he coudnt find it) but now unless you know there is a forum you just wouldnt look for it.

Try it yourself Tony and tell me what you think.

Yeah I wondered about this too, any passing traffic to the homepage will be less likely to stumble onto the forum now.

Bring back the link! ;tk;

In general the blonde home page needs to be updated or completely overhauled.

A quick look reveals the following links:

home --> online cardroom - Points to old (invalid) url

home --> links - Some very out of date (and dead) links (eg. brianwilsonpoker)

community --> internet tournaments - No longer used for some reason (shame)

live circuit --> WSOP - Links to 2007 WSOP results

tools & resources --> ask the pro - Very out of date (eg. "The important bit is to play online for 'play money' on sites such as universitypokerleague.com" - Shouldn't you be directing people to your own online cardroom now?)

As this is the first page that many new users will encounter it has to be up to date. Obviously the forum should also be easier to find for first time users.

the forum link was temporarily removed for reasons of space, it will be back soon

we also have a full redesign pending, to go up asap depending on available techie resource to do it.

The current design of the home page is more and more unsuitable for what we require.

Tighty has now come up with the answer - hopefully the "easy link" will soon be back.

Thanks for pointing that out.

 ;yippee;  Its back...thank you  :)up ;applause;

Thanks Suzanne, for bringing it to our attention.

That will cost you a hug next weekend at APAT xx

Im a graphic / webdesigner, by trade so if there is anything I can do to help, give me a shout!

Who to adds, has some time on his hands at the moment

That's most kind of you, thank you. Tighty may be in touch. But we're poor.......(in so many ways).

I would do it for free (a beer would be good though), thats not a problem, im currently working on re designing my own football based website (that only god re designed 2 months ago, im that bored)

Thanks, I've made Tighty aware. He's on Holiday for a few days, but he may well get in touch upon his return.

Thank you.

Not a problem sir,

Dont know what kind of thing your looking for but been board for a hour or so! Would link into a Joomla or Mambo CMS system or if its any good for what your looking at all

If anyone wants a special to them custom design to stars give me a shout

I'll have to comment later, I'm on an Intranet which is not showing those pics/graphics.

Thats a lot neater than what it currently is...

Thank you for the compliment sir

no worries ..I like the look of it...Simple and effective..just what you want from a website.

get a room

why, you need a place after being kicked out of your council flat again?

just for burgling neighbours, the council are tossers

lol... Council styleee.........

True..but wouldn't it be easier to just burgle council offices?..they dont have dogs...or needles through the hallways.

yeah nicking that grannies sewing kit was a low point even for me, still made myself a nice pair of gloves.

that's good thinking!..No more leaving prints at the scene!

I thought my design post hi jacked the post, you two just take the mick lol

You're welcome :)

lol

Seriously though, Bolt and I just give the people what they want...unlike Kin and TK and the likes..they only spout nonsense.

LOL... This place stops me doing work, and ive only been a member a short time lol

Does anyone else have any ideas or edits for my design

you could try ipoker

I did not really understand that post?

you said you did a pokerstars design for the table..he meant (as I read it) that you could do an Ipoker design of the table.

Is it possible to re "skin" your Ipoker through a system somewhere if os ill try to

It is possible using ibolide (http://www.pokerbolide.com/), but that costs, unless you can work out how he does it.

Oh yeah, i can do that, Would take a few hours work each time, but if someone wants something custom, sure i can come up with something...

If someone gives me an idea of a kind of design they may want ill take a hit at it now, before i go for dinner

comment number 1 on your designs

-blonde should always start with a lower case b

Did not know that, do apologise, very simple 2 edit
