Avsim Staff,

 

If I could make a humble suggestion/request regarding the new front page, I would like to humbly suggest a couple of different ideas regarding the new files of the day display.

 

Before the change, it was very easy to see and navigate to, a file of my choice on the list without having to leave the front page.

 

Now, I am required to follow a link to a separate page in order to display the entire list and be presented with a link to each file.

 

Suggestion/Request

 

Give the files of the day it's own box in the left side column of the front page similar to the Recent Articles box, perhaps directly above or below the Recent Articles box that lists each file by it's respective simulator version and category, with a hyperlink to follow directly to the file. Since space is limited, you could compress the listing into just the hyperlink and a small indicator of it's simulator version, i.e. Boeing 747 Japan Airlines - FSX, and leave the author information for the full page and library page.

 

Along with this change, you could make the box title be a hyperlink that would bring you to the listing as it is currently displayed. This would negate having to use a news box to announce the files of the day and it would always be in the same familiar place.

 

Sincerely,

Phil Manhart

Phil, appreciate the suggestion and that approach is in our planning. However, we won't be able to do that until we integrate the existing library into our new system. That's going to take a while. In the mean time, click on the Library tab at the top menu, and then click on "What's New".

Thanks for the response Tom, great to hear!
