Whatever you eventually decide, I'm sure it'll be good.

Yeah, might work. Hm, we don't have any real technical limit. I have full access to our SQL database server, all the PHP codes and I can also add C# modules with full SQL database access.

Could that be limited in some way? Only to News and only x number of comments or not comments and simply posting dates?

Good samples. I was swimming near the same ideas. Another one was to split the page 50/50, right side news but I'm not sure if it is a good idea. The guys at http://www.ParanormalStories.com have also a unique idea but that would probably not work too good for us if one specific thread gets 20 replies and their Web site is news centric but we want to keep techtalk.cc forum|talk centric.

I shall sleep on this! :mrgreen:

This might scare some off, but I wouldn't mind coming to an "index page that consisted of several of those and perhaps flat out links to the forums, et cetra.

Look at this:

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2233176

The discussion there. You can see how it was implemented:

http://cloudgaming.byethost7.com/

Obviously just linking for examples.

Although I think it would be better either under or off to the side where the news board is linked to now, obviously modified to read "Latest News Stories"... Just an opinion:

Keep'em coming, the ideas, that is!

Just a side note, there won't be any huge changes unless you guys agree and feel comfortable with the changes. The forums and "talking" will be the important and main goal of techtalk.cc.

We do NOT want to turn into one of those moronics sites, for example, we will NOT be turning into something like this one:

Latest or latest comment 5? We need editing back too!!!!

Steven W, 2014-04-07 00:19 »

Could the current design be kept and perhaps either the latest or latest commented stories be listed in that "box"? I hope that's clear? No big ugly graphics, please!

Something like this... but hm, the problem is that I don't want to destroy and hide that beautiful hardware background picture. It gives a very special feeling upon arrival at the Web site in my opinion. :?
