featured article

we should put the most current article to the featured article section. There's a new article of ipod but it didn't get posted on the featured article section:http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=906

Yeah I am working with Shane and Bjorn on that. Not sure if all the stuff Shane needs to do that is in place yet.

The idea with that space was not to necessarily have the latest article up but instead highlight an article that we want to give a bit more exposure.

We need to work a bit on that space and create better images but right now it won't necessarily show the latest article released.

My thinking was in line with Bjorn's, which is why I didn't make the iPod article the featured article... you never know, we might actually make a 2 week old article the featured article. :)

That's cool. Although I think it would be nice I think to switch the banner ad from newegg and the recent articles's place (ie put the the recent articles directly underneath the featured article). The reason being that since we are not going to emphasize the most recent article, it would be hard to notice new article's (unelss we have a section for that. I know we do on the 4 boxes underneath the banner but they are not being emphasized and looks kind of like ads (because it's next to an ad. Either put a label or like I said earlier, put that directly underneath the featured article to draw people's attention).

Also, I wonder where's the thread where we can discuss the article, it was automatically in the forum but with the new site, it hasn't yet setup.

One thought I have is to make it possible to have 1-3 featured articles which randomly pop-up on that spot so we can highlight a few more articles.

Re: Review thread. I need to figure out how to hook into vbulletin so we can create the thread automatically. I planned on looking into that today. So it's coming. There's nothing stopping you from creating a thread yourself though if you want to discuss the review.

cool, thanks swedbear for keep working on it. I saw that on there's a link on top of the article (next to the drop down menu), but somehow it's jsut not link to the forum. I think it would be nice to just create a forum of review and then just link ech article to that forum.
