Some New Changes Made
#1
01/21/2023

1. I have made some changes to the links located just below the big header image at the top of the forum.

* Left clicking on this horizontal row of links will open the page sought in a new tab. This should reduce the opportunity for a newcomer to the forum to "get lost" and lose a particular page that they were on.

* I eliminated the Alamaze Facebook and the Alamaze Wiki links. Neither site/page was maintained, and more links always add to the overall amount of visual clutter. The impact upon Alamaze forum users should effectively be nil, as a result of these particular link eliminations.

* I added to that very same horizontal row of links one for Sign In To Play, and another one for Create Player Account. The addition of these two new links should make things more intuitive and less confusing for newcomers to the Alamaze player community.

* I have added a link at the top for Valhalla.

* I have removed a > symbol from that horizontal row of links that wasn't needed. It had just been an error in plain sight for probably quite some time.

* I have added || between the links in that top row of links, to help provide better visual separation to forum visitors.

* I have set that row of links at the top to align center, instead of align right.

* I have changed the small icon images to the Pegasus rider image, for the Alamaze options on the right hand side of that horizontal row of links at the top. This will help to distinguish the links that relate to the forum from those links that relate to the game.

* I have changed the long horizontal row of links at the top of the page, converting it to two short rows of links, but designating one section of the links as Forum Links and the other section as Game Links. I think that this will work excellently for aiding forum users, and especially newcomers to Alamaze, in quickly distinguishing them from one another. Less confusion and quicker identification of the specific link(s) that a given player seeks to find.

* I have added a link to the Alamaze Fan Site that I created to the row of links at the top.

* I have placed the placed the Game Links as the top of these two rows of links, and I placed the Forum Links as the bottom row.

* I have changed the || to |between the links in those rows at the top.

* I have reorganized the forum sections, in a bid to streamline things and to shift some of the more ancient forums that haven't been posted in, recently, down the list towards the bottom. Some forums haven't been posted to in years, and as such, they shouldn't be hogging space further up the forum totem pole of importance.

* I've been fiddling with the links at the top, today. I'm going back and forth with them, trying to condense the vertical space between them. I'm not done, yet, so relax. I may just end up puting them back as I had them, a couple of days ago.

* I do think that the links work better and are more intuitive, with the Game Links separated from the Forum Links. I also think that the Create Player Account and Sign In To Play links are great additions to that section of links. It's been a long time, since I really did much editing of forum templates, so I'm not as quick as I used to be. Bear with me, if you will, as the objective is to improve the layout a bit.
