I would very much like to use HyperNews AS IS but some of
our novice users here find it cluttered and difficult to
follow. How could more readability be added?
- One way would be through having less heirarchy (and sadly
less functionality), ie only 1,2, or 3 tabs allowed
( <DL>..</DL> ). Another might be having each top level
question posted as a folder, under which could be multiple
or even only 1 directory for all follow-ups.
- Another way could be using different bullets like how the
Web News browser looks (NNTP on Web).
- Another possibility could be using tables with invisable
boarders (possible? visually appealing?)
- Adding <P> and/or <HR> tags after top level questions.
- different colours for different levels of response
(when this becomes possible)
Any responses/suggestons folks?
BTW: I think icons should be approx the size of the smilies.
Also, all messages should be forced to post pics or
none at all, to improve readability.
