category on the new homepage navigation could include a link to the
Recent Game Updates
forum,
Developer's Blog
,
Patch Notes
and
Social Media
wiki page.
Really nice idea! Thanks for posting I shall put this down as a suggestion for you
Could prove to be helpful when people aren’t aware of the other news information available.
.
The link to Wiki would be especially helpful, it barely seems to exist now, at least I can*t even find it. Has it gone whilst I have been away haha. Thanks for the suggestion, added!
.
I agree with this actually though I can** see it being a very high priority. Also, the nature of the suggestion has fairly quick implementation time and is only to do with wording so I have added it to the Quick Fix sticky thread in this forum instead if you don’t mind!

And I noticed there is a duplicate link to the
Membership
wiki page - one under Game Guide and another one under Shop. To avoid clutter, I'd suggest removing the one under Game Guide.
Personally I believe that the Membership can fit both of the tabs and isn’t really that cluttersome since you open them at your pleasure and probably not both at the same time. Saying this, it is a fair point as it is duplicated but similarly to above, I will probably add this to the Quick Fix thread as it is more of a fix than a new suggestion.

And finally, it'd be awesome if we could have some icons for the drop down menus on the navigation like on the Shop category.
I have to admit this would be rather snazzy and more appealing. I don’t think it is necessarily a priority, but DEFINITELY adding this. Big supporter of icons!

Horrible layout. What happened the simple backgrounds. Now my laptop freezes with all those moving things.
Sorry to hear that you aren’t a fan of the new homepage, they can** please everyone unfortunately but it seems it has affected your laptop and playing experience. I can*t add this to the thread as this is more for suggestions, however if you pop over to the
Tech Support Forum
there will be a thread there that might be able to help you. If all else fails, you can post on the community thread there and get some advice on possibly resolving your laptop freezing so often, which might make the new homepage less annoying, and even favourable
As you can probably see I'm Mod Shadow
and I'm a Web Systems developer here at Jagex, so naturally this thread peaked my interest.
This is a great thread for website improvements, I've been going through each of the suggestions and looking at the feasibility of them all.
I'll be visiting a bit more in future and hope to give you guys a bit more direct feedback. There's a few things here that are really interesting and I'd like to explore, whilst others may be a bit too infeasible (but that doesn't mean they will stay that way!)

Hello there! Obviously it would be when I have temporary time away that I miss this! Great to know there is some interest in the community’s ideas and look forward to any feedback. Let me know if there is anything I can change to make the thread more usable for you guys

Just to clarify, I was only commenting about the General section having less activity, in particular. The overall suggestion I think was a good idea.
I haven’t put you down in the cons, just added yours and Calm’s conversation to the notes incase it peaks the interest or has any importance to Jagex. Let me know if you would like the post changed
Right... I think that is everyone now! If I have missed anyone out, please post and let me know it definitely wasn't intentional! The thread will look like it has random reserves for a few minutes whilst I write some of these suggestions up, don't panic, it will look fabulous again soon

Pros

Misty Fuzzy:
Will make players aware of other news information available in addition to the news articles themselves and might bring more people to the appropriate forums too.

Pros

Misty Fuzzy:
Anything that makes it look snazzy and awesome is worthwhile!

Cons

Misty Fuzzy:
Probably a very low priority as it is only cosmetic, therefore debating the time it would take Jagex to do and whether it is worthwhile might need to be considered.

Welcome back! I hope university is treating you well.
The format of the thread is great as it is
I plan to request a bit more information on some of the ideas here today, so watch this space!
