Improving this site’s usability

me too… almost the same as Ruben’s

One more thing.. Can we have the page no. at the top so i can directly go to last page 😉
Hehe… or you just make all the post at reverse order the latest post at the top 🙂 very difficult lah to read all the post especially when i’m using my phone

I think simplifying this site is a brilliant idea. Sorry to say – I find it rather counter-intuitive. I think most people want to simply:
login > register for next round > logout
(& win, but that one’s not your problem-lah)
**Suggest:

#Home page has one cool photo&logo, one line of text for “mission / slogan” and only 3 links:
“Sign Up (it’s free!)”
“Log In”
“More Info” (or cooler text for same meaning)

#”Log In” links to page showing table of upcoming “Upcoming Race Events” (ONLY!)

#Table of “Upcoming Race Events” links to table of “Race Day”
(eg. DRIVERS’ SERIES RND10)
I realise it’s difficult to change but the way of cutting/pasting the text to make a really long list of posts for race registration is not very cool. Totally agree short term fix to have posts in reverse order; but better we have a single table of drop down menus (with far right column “Remark” as open text) to let users register for each race category. One “master” table at top of thread updates each time user inputs and history of old tables is NOT shown. Below forum style endless chit-chat (reverse order) is fine. All the other stuff is great but can be surfed from the menus.

> suggest to keep all the content; but “out of the way” behind menu links

8/ what contents should be included?
> i like previous suggestion to have championship standings link

9/ any other general comments on the site design?
> i was looking around for a karting club exactly like mykart but even when finding your site i didn’t really understand what you offered. it needs to be much easier to find simple summary info for a “newbie” without sign-in.

Thanks for taking our suggestions into consideration…. gettin used to it 🙂

1/ what is the page on this site that you visit first?
I bookmarked “New Stuff” and that’s how I access the forum.

2/ what is the most common link that you’d click?
Whichever new topics in “New Stuff”. Would go through all of them.

3/ how much do you use the search box?
Didn’t even know there was a search.

4/ how do you find the menu systems – how helpful are they?
Not bad. But don’t quite like this forum system. Maybe because I’m so use to phpbb 2/3 basic theme.

5/ is there a logical way to group the menu system?
6/ how should i improve the layouts, design and content organisation?
7/ what are the items (links, content) you can do without?
No specific suggestions or preference here. I’m ok with the current layout.

8/ what contents should be included?
Porn? 😛

8/ any other general comments on the site design?
Ability to search info of people (profile) to get basic idea who they are.
Ability to search previous posts of the user to gain historic information.
