Eyes on Final Fantasy Forums > Reference > Feedback Forum > I have an idea! (Forum+Frontsite related)

[Momiji]

It's always bothered me that the forums and the frontsite really have no connection to each other, other than a tiny link at the bottom of the front page.

What I'm trying to say is, wouldn't it be beneficial if there was a link to each of the Final Fantasy Frontsite Sections in the 'User CP/ Rules/FAQ Members List Chatroom Community Search Quick Links Log Out Premium Membership' area? It could easily take the place of the 'Premium Membership' area-- a 'Frontsite' tab that has a dropdown list of links to each Final Fantasy Page. The 'Premium Membership' link could go in the Quick Links section, leaving an area for the Frontsite section. This way, it's more accessible, instead of having to

A) Open a new window/tab and go to the frontsite seperately
B) Scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page to click the ambiguous 'Final Fantasy' link
C) Open up the bookmarks/favorites in one's browser to go to the frontsite.

This way, for example, if there was a discussion going on in one of the Final Fantasy forums, and a question arose, someone could easily go to the main navigation field, click 'Frontsite', then the correct frontsite section, find the information they need, and simply click the 'forum' link in that section to be taken back to the respective forum from which they came.

I dunno, it was just a thought. Opinions?

premium membership probably will be staying where it is for a long time we could remove the usercp link since quick links makes it obsolete. Or rules/faq since no one reads them anyways!

Well, moving the Premium Membership link was just an example. Anything could be reorganized, I guess. D:

I definitely like the idea of a shortcut to each of the gaming sections on the front site. The fun part is figuring out how to fit it in. Personally, I would more "Chatroom" under the "Community" link but I know several people like having it highly visible.

I would propose to move the "Members List" under "Community" to make room if we were going to do this. I don't see any reason why the member list needs to be so prominently displayed anymore.

no dont remove usercp T__T .. i use that a lot.

you can remove wiki

User CP is the one I use most often, so it'd suit me if it remained where it is.

I read them.

I think members list or chat room would be the most logical one to move under community as per Mullet's suggestions. Personally, I think moving the members list there would be the better of the two because a) it's probably less used and b) it makes sense to have it under "community" anyway. I like the idea.
