New Page Layout / Design

Hi AboutUs,

I really like the space-saving you did over the last few days (http://j.mp/x7asL) but I don't understand why you haven't gone further?

My suggestion is that you move the "SignUp / Login" button to the top of the page (in the header, next to the search bar) and then stretch the content section (div id="content") from "656px" to around “856px”.

Then if a user is signed in... I would suggest that with a bit off ajax you could create a "Click To Expand" user box... This would slide down from the top (from the space that is left by the "SignUp / Login" button) and display the current user box (i.e. their image and user links) over the page content as and when they need it!

I would then also hide the new "lists box" content so that only the header is displayed automatically... Then whip out the ajax again to create a "View" button that would slide down the list of "lists"...

This would make the page look something like this - (note that as this is an old style page I have also removed the "edit" & "history" buttons from the middle of the page and moved the edit button up to the top menu bar (the place where I would put it if my suggestion of editable "new style" pages was implemented))



I hope you like my suggestion!

Kind Regards,

Michael
