Not planned RM interface is confusing and not in line with XF easy interface

[erich37]

Sorry to say, but I think the interface of the RM is quite confusing.

sidebar at the left:
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/

sidebar at the right:
http://xenforo.com/community/resources/digital-point-thread-post-bbcode.87/


I would suggest for the "Resource Manager" to also use the same logic, simple and sexy page-layout and interface for which XenForo is known and famous for:


Suggestions:
1)
Put the Tabs into the Nav-Bar.
2)
Put the "Categories", "Top Resources" and "Most Active Authors" into the sidebar at the right.


See suggestions as per screenshots:

I like the tabs really. I think that the sub nav could have much more valuable items in it at a later date really.

I don't understand why we can't comment directly on the resource.

At this point, I have no idea. As this is currently the first view we've had of the product, I assume there's more to come and that the subnav could be used for higher priority functions. Just a guess is all really. Like I said, the tabs don't bother me, I like 'em. If they were moved to the subnav, that'd be fine still.

I only think the first page is confusing with every type of add-on listed together. Once you click a sub category or whatever, then it's fine.
