Thread: New MirageForum home page and "selected threads"

  1. #1

    New MirageForum home page and "selected threads"



    Most of you probably don't care that we have never had a dedicated home page for the site. Up to today, if you went to www.MirageForum.com, you were just forwarded directly to the forum index.

    But we get a lot of visitors coming directly here looking for a "Mirage forum" who hit the home page URL. So Tim (Daox) and I decided to put out a formal welcome mat.

    The new home page includes...


    • a general welcome message
    • latest Mirage/Space Star/Attrage garage entries (sorry, but if you made a nice entry for your Ferarri or your lawnmower, it won't show in the home page list )
    • latest forum posts
    • selected threads: "Featured projects, topics & DIY guides"


    That last item might interest existing members more than the other parts. Tim and I have selected a list of threads to show off to new visitors. Currently the page only shows the latest 8 items, but there are dozens in the list. (I'll be adding a link to "view the rest" soon.)

    Oh, and it includes (as a background image) flags from all our respective countries (at least the latest 17 of them). If you don't see yours in there, it's nothing personal!

    Hope you like it! Because it took way longer than it should have, and I'm tired of working on it!

    That's normal for most members.

    kalifornia, when I said "But we get a lot of visitors coming directly here," I meant directly to the home URL. (Which would then forward to the forum index.)

    until I learn what a home url is Ill keep my questions to myself. I figured this is/was the home url. but i think I understand now

    Oh... the difference, e.g.: http://mirageforum.com = home URL

    http://mirageforum.com/forum = forum index URL

    ---

    Next week I want to add one other thing to the new home page: data from the fuel economy log. We are collecting some good info that we could summarize & highlight.
