Good morning all,

A quick update (while @Admin is working on implementing the new looks - new frontpage, mobile layout, improved navigation and more) > we have enabled animated gif profile images :)

Try it out :) .. also a cool way to present your brand logo if you wish to
 
The mobile navigation is a great concept but you are using up valuable screen real estate for 4 links that stay pinned at the bottom. That might not seem like an issue depending on how you are viewing it but for smaller screens like some of the smaller apple phones screen real estate is important.

Instead of pinning 4 big buttons at the bottom just add them to your mobile footer which already displays at the bottom of every page and it scrolls with the page. If you want to differentiate those 4 links then you can increase the size or colour of the links to differentiate them from the rest.

I had the same addon active for a day and opted against it once I looked at the screen on a smaller display size.

Look at the bottom of DN.ca on mobile (or desktop) to see how I incorporated the links I wanted to highlight there.

Great and valuable suggestions! Thank you.

I really like that when I click on the home/index page, the comments from across all sections of the site are now set out chronologically as soon as I log on. Therefore I can see at a glance what new posts have gone up anywhere.

Thank you. reviously we also had "Sold Domains" section posts included here (frontpage) > these have been removed less than 1 hour ago by @Admin
