Front Page Design...? - DPChallenge Forums

I know this is quite low on the to-do list, but it seems that as a photography site, the front page should feature more images and less text. Challenge images should enjoy a longer rotation on our front page, and the long list of forum topics not so much.

Could we expand the length of time winning images spend on the front page by giving them more space. Could we reduce the number of visible forum topics, with maybe a drop-down caret to expand the list instead of a static list?

It certainly feels that way.

Yeh, the forums are, to understate things "quiet." We could use less visibility for them and more for the top images. One other thing that I would love to see as an option is a "dark mode." I like the neutral tones, but would like to be able to "tone it down."

Remember, if there are forum categories you don't need to see you can turn them off in Preferences.

I don't know how hard the coding would be, but I think the forums would be more compact if listed by category (see above) with any threads <36 hours old visible and a link to "see more ..."

Haven't tried that yet, but will that show more Rose of challenges above? Or just compact the page
