Remove the gigantic banner - www.virtualmin.com

I do not like the giant banner (I appreciate it is my opinion) for the following reasons:

  • It shoves the menu to the bottom of the page. no one has a menu at the bottom.
  • it has pushed all content below the fold (might be bad for SEO)
  • All I see is a giant screen of purple with no context
  • I am forced to scroll before seeing any information and not everyone has a scroll wheel handy (i.e. laptops)

thanks

:man_shrugging: :confused: not sure what your seeing perhaps I am on a different planet :globe_with_meridians:

I’ll improve the landing page, but the layout will stay the same. First, I like it. Second, it would be too difficult and time-consuming to rework since any landing page is challenging.

And guess what? You need to scroll down to access the other content on almost any landing page. As now the navigation isn’t blocked and you can click it without scrolling, it’s more than acceptable.

However, making the landing page more informative is my priority for tomorrow or weekends, as I’m nearly done with the theme later today.

And note that virtualmin/virtualmin.com if open project and can get PRs. If feel that you can provide high quality change in the PR go ahead. We can then talk about it.

Noted about the PR , I will have a look.

I did not check if the landing page is different to the homepage, but I definitely hate having landing pages in that sense. Just have a homepage.

Thanks

I know I do a lot of posts but I need to get the thought down on paper while I am in the moment.

Just got back into programming so going forward I will try and post code as well where I am able.

Where can we down vote this kind of spam topic ?

What I’m going to say only concern you @shoulders and no one else on this forum, because the amount of such topic you are posting here start to be more than unreliable.

The Virtualmin team is not here to fix your whim. And I’m really frightened to see @ilia accept to change design only for one post …. What is this ?

When your are not part of the team and want to change such aspect, that you like it or not is irrelevant. And even if you would be part of the team it’s not something which shall be done in the precipitation.

If you could stop flood over and over the forum with you personal habits it would be more than appreciable for the whole community.

You clearly seems to have a lot of personal troubles. Well fine, it’s not the problem but heal it first before to start creating this kind of topic … and flood the forum with it.

then why not use the pm facility :disappointed_face:

downvoting *as any open forum admin/moderator will tell you* is an invitation to spam and cause serious anger and disputes.

It’s a forum. Everyone can and should write whatever they want as long as they meet the guidelines. I’m sharing Stegan’s view: why didn’t you write a private message to shoulders?

Like in real life, we’re not always sharing the same views and opinions but it’s the tone that defines how a conversation evolves.

Having learned from my son, I usually hesitate (sometimes for minutes, sometimes for hours, sometimes even longer) before hitting submit. Most of my posts don’t get submitted.
