Under Consideration Updating The Homepage

Since the votes are currently in favour of making this our new homepage, I have spent some time getting it more ready and fixing any issues there could be.

If anyone wants to the view the page to see what it looks like and test it out, you can find it here: https://officeoutlaw.com/pages/home/

You may notice that the main changes made to this is the Latest from the Trading Post section being a little smaller and simpler. This is because the equal split between the two was less visually appealing and we feel that there should be more of an emphasis on the posts from the forum. I'm hoping that this improves the appearance of the page but still is clear enough for members wanting to see Trading Post updates.

Please let me know if there are any bugs or issues that have been missed.

I think it's ready to go, but I was hoping for people to comment on the adjustment that was made.

Either way, it won the popular vote, so we'll set this to go live this week. I'll post an announcement thread about it later.

There's nothing wrong with tinkering to enhance the layout and structure.

Yeah, that's the thing. Once we set it as the homepage, we can always make adjustments to it later. Anyone who has suggestions can post them in the forum suggestions section as well and we can go based off the upvotes to make the changes.

The only suggestion I’d make here (for screens < 768px) would be to move the “X minutes ago” text to the end of the line/parent:

In my example, I set .structItem-cell--meta and .structItem-cell--latest to width: 50% and removed the max-width. (Although, this can also be handled using Flexbox with justify-content: space-between.)

Thanks.

@Impulse did this today.

We're going to hold off a bit on uploading the homepage as we need to fix a few issues with it. Also, we were doing it right now and realised that maybe fiddling around with stuff during peak hours wasn't a good idea.
