What's interesting about it? |
| Show a logo-like balloon with next to it in text the last remark made on the site with a link to the topic. |
Gives community idea, active feeling. Something that always changes, the more with active communities. |
For new users the text may be conceived as a quote. |
Interesting to retrieve the latest text addition/change to a topic - would be interesting for topic summaries and RSS feeds as well. |
| Do without the top bar |
Gives more space for the body of the topic. |
Many topics appear as text "top to botton" and can be overwhelming. |
Eliminating the left bar as well give the ability to design a very custom page but still have the low level CSS components available. |
| Treat the top bar as 'three columns' |
Structured form for various modalities. |
Demands discipline of design. |
Many possibilities - per-site logo + per-web logo in each corner; put AdSense in the middle; scrolling IFrame in the middle; fixed or random advert or sponsorship in any of the positions; .... |
