[QUOTE="RastaLulz, post: 334452, member: 1"] I thought I'd ask the community how DevBest should implement the homepage. I'd like to make the homepage have news, as it'd promote discussion on new content about things this community is interested in. I attempted to do something about this at the beginning of the year, but never fully got around to implementing it the way it should. There's two ways we could go about how articles are displayed there: [LIST=1] [*]We have journalists, and they have permission to write articles in a specific section and they'll be automatically displayed on the homepage. [*]Staff have the ability to promote threads they find in specific sections that are homepage worthy. [/LIST] Also, articles would probably be displayed in the manner that they are on sites like [URL='http://www.macrumors.com/']MacRumors[/URL] (full articles displayed), as opposed to [URL='https://devbest.com/articles/']how they currently are[/URL] (a bunch of thumbnails with titles). Another option is to not use XenForo at all for the homepage, and use WordPress (and attempt to integrate it in a similar way to MacRumors). Anyways, I'd like to hear your thoughts. [/QUOTE]
