Good idea but god it looks ugly rn, needs more flair, IDK what but I agree with SVP

It takes up a lot of space. I also have a hard time seeing where one item ends and the next begins at a glance. It looks like a solid block of text.

it just makes it all looks like a chunk of text, Really cool idea though

I missed the silhouettes that some of the sub forums had next to their names. Though I like this featured content system.

Looks nice and fits with the other forum content lists, I also like that idea about reporting to be featured, maybe add something so that if a mod or admin adds the feature or denies, other reports asking for the same get shitcanned automatically.

The latest tweaks made it look pretty good already. Once the "Happenings" block is gone, the site layout should get a lot more compact.

What's the maximum number of items you're planning to have there at a time? 8? 10?
 
Cool that looks a lot better.

I'm unsure if a bulleted list format would be aesthetically pleasing or not. But I do think everything should be tabbed over to the right once.

It’s change and I don’t like it! Nah look good, I’m sure I’ll get used to it quickly.

Let me know what you think about the featured content system. It uses moderator permissions so I'm going to make it so mods can feature posts too.

To-Do:
1. Featured content tab with all historical features.
2. Tidy up the block so there's more immediately obvious emphasis on the message.

This looks extremely gay and I don't like it.

I would try and make the styling of the box match the old one as much as possible. Probably at least make the descriptions part a different font or size the the thread titles

I am fine either way.

The stuff you chose to put up was always a good read and gave me good threads to browse, but this new way will display things you may have missed. Just needs, as you said, to be cleaner.

So does it work like reports? Anyone can flag a post for mod review, which they then approve?

That's a cool suggestion. I might just make it a part of the report system directly.

I like the idea (after all, atm it's usually just users making a post with "hey @ null, is this front page news?" so this would be a logical step if happenings is opened up to mods), but might be something people use to spam the mods with, especially those that come here to request the KF personal army - maybe tie it to accounts who are at least X weeks / months / years old or some other condition?

Reports time out (1 every 30 seconds I believe). It's likely to help mitigate the problem in a similar way.

Great idea! Can't wait for kiwi's to flex their HTML(and javascript possibly?) on when big happenings happen
