Alternate Poker Forum - Are You A Little Confused ?

What's New to Alternate Poker Forum (please take time to read through this before posting)
We have made some changes on the forum which we hope will help new and older members alike. These may feel a little strange at first so i thought i would talk you all through some of the access points to help you get acquainted. We would very much like all members to give us feed back on these changes (what you like, what you don't like) but i would ask you to give it some days before posting so that you can get used to the new feel. In my explanation i will refer to the picture of the new "Welcome Page" below (updated : 28.09.2008).

Alternate Poker
Our main landing page can be accessed through the Home button (1). This takes you to our main resource, news, links, etc page.

The Welcome Page
This should be your first stop when entering the forum and can be accessed at all times from the Forum button (2) and the APF header (3). This page will feature Alternate-Poker Updates (8) and Alternate-Poker Quick Links (9). We have been told on occasion that the forum can be a bit daunting when first accessed so these links are designed to help you find our more frequently visited areas more quickly.

The Events Calendar
The Events Calendar (6) now shows all our upcoming tournaments with links (when underlined) directly to the given tournament thread. This should make it much easier to have an overview of all out tournaments with quicker access. For this reason the coming weeks tournaments will now be posted as Announcements in their respective area. We strongly suggest you get into the habit of using the calendar to check on APF Upcoming Tournaments.

The Main Forum Index
The Main Forum Index shows all areas of the forum as we used to have it and is essentially the same as always. Access to The Main Forum Index can be found at points (4), (5) and at the top of the Quick Links (9).

New Messages
If you have any New Messages when entering the Welcome Page, a scrolling button will appear under your avatar (7). This button will not appear here if there are no new messages. Once in the Main Forum Index, you can still access your messages from the link just above the 3 poker room banners as normal.

Recent Posts, Announcements/Stickys & Global Announcements
All Recent Posts and Stickys can be seen and accessed through points (10) and (11) whilst recent Announcements can be accessed in the table at point (12). Global Announcements (threads seen throughout the forum) will now only be used for urgent or important forum threads such as this one.

Note : Please try out the features for a few days and then feel free to come and post in this thread any thoughts, suggestions or questions you have concerning the changes. None of this is written in stone and is essentially designed to help you, the members. So if we have a consensus on a given problem, we will look long and hard to try to find a good solution !

This diagram is based on template 1 in your profiles. Of course the forum will adapt and i will update this diagram when any major changes are made.

I have noticed the changes

and feel a little lost at times but now seeing this post helps and have to agree it is for the better, I just wish that the silver option had the medals showing because I like that option the best! but seeing no medals

I dont like it!

I think the new page simplifies finding things and should help new members. Its great that you guys are always trying to make the site better. Keep up the good work. One thing thou, I do miss the listing of members who are on line when I log in.

just wanted to say i have been very confused but now i think i have gotten hold of it

Runnymede · Posted: Fri Aug 17, 2007 8:57 pm Post subject:

I am really getting to be quite familiar with the site and feeling comfortable working my way around.

Do still get a bit confused at times; but as I am not really comp.literate that is entirely my own fault.

One small request - when you post up the tourneys and put the play time as poker./nordica time EST etc. would it be possible to put BST beside it? Just for fools like me who have got myself muddled and missed the start of a tourney.

Thanks
Runnymede
