Carlos... I am creating a custom View for articles in XenPorta... how do YOU think an article should be displayed
Thats not what I meant... what I meant was something like this:I replied you about this... What do you think?
Very nice! But this + modificated postbit and some additional info (maybe views count e.t.c.) - it would be unusual, it would be the best!Thats not what I meant... what I meant was something like this:

Is this what you mean by x-based ?X-based CMS
I see this articles area:
Wordpress does create clean looking sites.WordPress has a way of arranging content to make clean looking pages, even when those pages are stuffed with too many articles.
Very interesting, so is it an option for each thread or based on the forum (or both). It would be nice to have all those options and having moderators being able to change the display type.Thats not what I meant... what I meant was something like this:

Hows this?So it looks like Jaxel has turned his News & Announcements Forum into an Articles Forum, by changing the Style of this forum into a Article + comments appearance (vs. just a regular thread).
Suggestions:
change the forum listing (http://8wayrun.com/forums/news-announcements.78/) to make the entire forum look non-forum like.
ideally the comments could be smaller (ie. reduce the size of the avatar image).
Okay, I waited a while before responding, Mr. Jaxel.
I agree with the others saying that a "CMS" [Its broad and people use it loosely, so I'll go ahead and say it] should look like a blog post, and so far, you've accomplished that. Hell, I love that countdown box you've got at the right. I would love to do that in Wordpress, counting down the days and weeks until MODERN WARFARE 3 [caps because of excitement feel] releases.
However, your display is a lil...off. A blog post and/or a CMS article does not have forum-style avatars/username combo, like you showed. But it's quite alright since your design seems to mimic a blog post, which is actually a good thing.
Keep up the good work, Jaxel!
Like this?I agree, the postbit is the only thing I think is a bit off and changing it more to a horizontal postbit without an avatar but with links to their other articles, etc would work better.
Much, much, MUCH better. *Two thumbs up*
