What I have in mind is that you could show the recent 3 or 4 PotD in one box, and the news in a box below it. There would then be three boxes on the right, UotD, PotD, and News. Each box could have a link to more, as the news does at present. The current arrangement has two drawbacks. Firstly the project related news gets scrolled off quickly by the PotD - on other projects news tends to last several days (or months!) before scrolling off, so that everyone gets to see it. Secondly, when looking for an old news item, it becomes necessary to scroll through screens and screens of PotD. Please don't misunderstand me, having PotD is brilliant, and I would not want it removed, just split away from the project-related news. Just a personal opinion, of course.

What about one feed for the news, one for the PotD, and one for Baker's journal? The is also the technical news, but it'll probably need to be integrated into the standard boinc software before we get it ;-) Team mauisun.org ID: 30245 · Rating: 0 · rate: / Reply Quote

And it does my ego good to see the third suggestion of mine taken up in under a year There is nothing quite like seeing suggestions put into action to make someone feel listened to :) Thanks to everyone on the project team.
