Our new site, tell us what you think!
Question
Welcome to your brand new site! As you see with the new design, all the sections you’re familiar with – Q&A, small ads, news, guides, job ads, opinion pieces – are still there. It’s just their visibility has increased through a more fluid design optimized for smartphones and tablets, and many sections will now feature comment options. We hope you like TheBulletin.be’s new appearance and look forward to hearing from you here or at feedback (at) thebulletin.be.
Don't like it - harder to navigate.
While on the topic of "improvements", when this site we redone some months ago, the clubs/events pages were taken out, with a promise to reintroduce them eventually. How is that coming along? Havign a central database of the clubs that expats would appreciate was something very useful that set you apart. I wonder if all your improvements might be effectively reducing traffic to this site.
i think the Q&A looks fine this way and is more inviting to people who don't spend a lot of time on other forums. i often find forums impossible to navigate and just give up; this seems straightforward to me. the rest of the site is hugely improved, congrats!
one thing on the Q&A design: listing the time the answer was posted along with the date would be helpful. also, maybe the "your answer" space could be under the question or nearer the question? or a button near the question could take you to it. it took me a while to find it!
>> small boxes
Black box gives total answers/comments, red boxes (only when logged in) gives new answers/comments since last visit.
>> evens/clubs
We have new features for clubs and events ready. We'll introduce those as soon as the main platform has been ironed out.
>> time w/ answers
Good suggestion, will check if can be activated
You've made it look like a mobile device. I realise that might have been what you wanted to do, but as far as normal browsers go, it's too small and illegible.
Ohhh! Flash HTML effects.
I think one of the major flaws of the earlier version of the Q&A, which doesn't seem to have rectified here, is that threads with news posts do not rise to the top, so even if there is a very active thread, it will continue to sink as new topcs get added. So if somebody comes late (sometimes months or years) to a thread and has a valuable addition to make, it will probably never be seen as the thread will stay on whatever page it happened to be on at the time of the new entry, sometimes many pages deep.
preferred the previous layout. What is Report abuse for?
Nightmare on Samsung GSM
not a fan of the new layout, way too crowded and the first thing I saw was a large search box. i agree with BXLER: active posts should jump to to the beginning of the list. The advertising is too intrusive, especially the one between question and answers. I mostly onlyuse the q+a section so can't comment on the rest of the site.
Yuck, yuck and yuck!
