I prefer the old method but saying that have no problem with new one. I personally would like that colourless sunflower than a random pic as it would help me identify the thread with articles and picture/ videos etc.

Even if we add pic videos there will still be this sunflower when a video is posted in flash format which doesn't work on iPhone.

In my opinion if the most recent poster has an avatar than there is no need to creating thumbnail.

Thumbnail should only be created if the most recent poster does not have an avatar.

In most cases I check only posts by some selected member and those member are quickly visible due to their avatar.

pls bring that avatar pic option back... it looks really ugly... i used to click on threads by looking at the avatar pic, it was easier then, as its easy to recognize ppl through avatar pic...

now life is hard... pls don't take job of our politicians.. only they have the right to make life of general public miserable :)

honestly, now it look like a mess out there....

That can be done but I want to convince the thread starters to post an appropriate image related to the content. Wouldn't that look alot better?
.............................................................

Sure! it will look a lot better. just go ahead.

The previous design was better i think. The talk show thumbnails look the same as most of the show have similar sets. plus the members thread area is not difficult, but a bit unconvienient too. Like i got used to recognising some members post by their image. I would view some members' post, and then not view others'.

i favour the last settings. i got used to it for the 2 years i've been coming to this site.

I'm agree with you.
But, it depends upon majority.

at first, i thought siasat.pk got hacked :)

secondly, you are not only right by saying that no pic (snowflake) is ugly.. let me divide the word ugly by zero.. then u will know how ugly it looks ;) let it be user's choice.. if he doesnt choose any pic for the post.. let the avatar pic being displayed.. but plzzzz not that snowflake pic

furthermore... i would like to suggest that only talk shows (which appears on 'latest talk shows' section) should have video pic..it gets easy to see which guest are on the show (if its not mentioned in the description) often i see a siasi video name with date only.. no description

I would also appreciate if you add 'previous button' especially on 'latest talk shows' section.. its cumbersome to type it on search option for the previously dated videos.. i hope u understood what i am saying...

lastly, change is always welcomed... it makes siasat.pk exciting :)


Thanks Brother, change is always welcome ..... well, honestly speaking we are familiar with the previous lay out, in talk shows I think it should not changed as majority of us not familiar with the names of shows/anchors except some renowned anchors or shows .....

As far as the member's thread portion is concerned ..... now its quite difficult to recognise the thread poster quickly as the avatar of the poster not being shown, I think ..... it is also hard to chose ..... that what the end user wants/not want to read/see cz you know most of the users are very familiar here & people love to read/see their thread or post, on the contrary most of the users does not want to read post of the some posters having negative goodwill in respect of their die hard relation with their political affiliation/views/most of the time used abusive language/hypocrites etc .... like in my case when I see the post from JU,AH,MA,FI etc (not mention the names) I simply ignore their threads & move forward .....

In last I would like to mention it again that change is always welcome, let the new layout run for some time ..... later on we will see the results ...:)

@Adeel Bhai change is always good.
The snow flakes are not looking good!
Can we ask the forum members to select an avatar of their liking at the time of registration?
The Idea of the picture is great, let us wait and see how it goes.

Brother @maksyed said it very nicely {now its quite difficult to recognise the thread poster quickly as the avatar of the poster not being shown, I think ..... it is also hard to chose ..... that what the end user wants/not want to read/see cz you know most of the users are very familiar here & people love to read/see their thread or post, on the contrary most of the users does not want to read post of the some posters having negative goodwill in respect of their die hard relation with their political affiliation/views/most of the time used abusive language/hypocrites etc ...**



Let us wait and see .

Everyone hates change. Give this a week or so, see if you like it. If not, i will revert it back to the old settings. You can still see which poster made a comment.

mmm sometimes week sounds like a year :s if that avatar pic was restricted to 'latest talk shows' trust me it wud have been much cooler and easily accepted/digested... rest of two columns shud have old settings... like i mentioned, it was easier for me to click on those thread where i cud recognize the thread started through avatar pic... now it simply looks like a mess...

anyways.. its ur website.. as they say: my roof, my rules ;)

Very good idea! If users don't like this idea, maybe they can have an option of choosing the previous theme!

What about siasat.pk app for android and iPhone? Still in pipeline?
