    Hi Team,

    What do you think of the new website?

    It's very early days and we have heaps of tweaks, but a project five years in the making is now live.

    I'd love to get your feedback – good, bad or otherwise.

    Steve,

    I think it is a great change!

    It is easy to navigate and a great new look.

    I am interested in finding out more information about the levels of achievements and badges of a forumite eg The Wisdom of others badge and the Extra Extra badge etc, where can I find this info??

    keep up the good work!

    Cheers Glen.

    I must say I'm hooked on the rewards myself!

    If you go into your profile you can see how close you are to achieving your next 'level'.

    We need to outline the missions and badges, and it is on the development list.

    Let me know of any changes you would like to see done if the design. For instance, I don't like the chunky sub menus off the top menu.

    The development team have done a fine job though. Brent, David, Joe et al… well done!

    This is excellent Steve!!

    I always thought the site had a lot of potential to be easier to navigate.

    It's far brighter and professional looking.

    We love it!

    Looks great so far! Though I must say when I first got to the site I thought I made a spelling mistake in the address bar, I did not recognise it at all! But it looks really good, easy to navigate as well.

    Cheers

    Looks good Steve.

    I liked being able to easily filter for posts made within the last day. Can we still do that?

    Cheers

    Hi Jamie,

    Good suggestion. You can see active topics, but there is no cut-off filter at the moment. We'll make the arrangements.

    There are a lot of things still on our to-do list, but feedback and suggestions will be what we try and focus our developments on.

    Hi, will use the new site for a little while before commenting but one thing that was missing and still is-

    Is a place to put your location in your profile.

    It's VERY frustrating as people ask questions but you have no idea where they are from (which matters often). I'm tired of posting "where are you located? so we can answer'

    Well done Steve and PI.com Team, you guys nailed it.

    I love it!! Looks great, really professional and nice and easy to read!

    I don't mind the chunky sub menus, I'm getting to a point where bigger fonts etc are nice ;P

    Probably be a couple of days of using it before a few things are found, but so far awesome!

    Cheers

    Thanks for the comments so far. Don’t be afraid to put in your wish list either because it will be easier to include them as we make the changes for the current roll out.

    Some suggestions,

    The main links up the top "Home" "Profile" etc should be between the protertyinvesting.com image and the search bar. Its is just wasting space having it on a separate row.

    The blue column down the side with "Welcome" "Recent Achievements" etc should be locked on the far left giving much more room for the actual thread so it'll be less scrolling in bigger threads.

    The "like" and "share this" buttons should be right next the the thread title and the navigation bar up the top maybe have the whole lot highlighted in a lighter blue

    So far i like the new website but so much non essential stuff is taking up so much of the page the Scalability is so bad.

    Also the "Learn" "Shop" & "Contact" links up the top when they are highlighted I believe the tab they are open up is way to big, maybe half the size

    Hi Steve,

    The new site looks good, and there are plenty of people checking it out.

    No, but it is on the way! It's one of the wish list items.

    We also want a standard way of displaying forum signatures.

    And there is a stack of other ideas on the list.

    D,

    Now that you mention it, No I haven't received any either. Mustn't have carried over with the new site!

    That is something to be fixed.

    Regards

    Glen

    I think I've been downgraded too.  I don't seem to have a rating at all !   Demoted.  Sigh.
