anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section Topic is solved
anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
feels like there could/should be a better way to layout the forum than this. 95% of the users are going to be using V1 and asking for help regarding it

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
I think it is logical like it done now, because
But who stays to use autohotey v1 can always add
viewforum.php?f=93
to bookmarks.

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
Idk how I hadn’t seen that GitHub gist from Lexikos until just now
Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
I think it would look better if V1 had it's own "section" (not sure what to call these blue bars), this makes it stand out, I had to "trim" the image a bit - but the other sub-sections like editors and tutorial are fine under the v2 "section" (missing from this image)
But if possible a "v1" blue bar would look nice(r) imho

Seems like a good idea. Looks nice to me

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
Yeah, this is an interesting idea. I could do that for sure. My initial thought was to encourage V2 and subtlety hide v1... I'm still on v1 myself haha

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
@guest3456 Maybe you can make this into a poll?

Awesome thanks!

@tank what do you think?

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
Good idea. Poor old v1 does look a little squinched upon locating it down the page there- the first impression was as if it had been sent to the sin bin (of sorts).
Shouldn't the Announcements section be up the top somewhere?

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
Agree too. A lot of people are still using AHK V1, so why hide it?
That'll just annoy everyone who can't find the V1 forum category.

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
I strongly prefer ahk7's suggested layout, and have voted accordingly.
Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
I also like ahk7's variant.
When poll will be finished?

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
hmm right, we should have a deadline or something, maybe lets say by/before end of march?
I'm still waiting on input from @tank and @lexikos ... but I think it's rather evident/likely that we'll use ahk7's example.

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
Yep, a separate section would be preferable.
AutoHotkey v2.x
Ask For Help [v2]
.
.
.
AutoHotkey v1.x
Ask for Help [v1]
.
.
While it's kinda tricky with duplicating the whole thing for foreign languages as well!
There I'd think its users labeling their postings' subject lines with [v1] or [v2] respectively should be fine (? That's why I thought that a built-in "subject-line-select-version-option" would be amazing).

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
I'm not too worried for the other languages, I dont think the traffic is big enough to be a worry atm.
And I think mainly just the tutorials, script and help sections to be moved/change how they are displayed. I have already done the restructuring,this is mostly just moving it from a subsection to a parent section

Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
@joedf I don't have an opinion on this, so I'll leave it up to you.
Re: anyone else not a fan of the new V1 section
@lexikos Okay great, thanks! Just wanted to check-in
@guest3456 okay, in that case. I'll wait till March 24th (about 1 month in total since the poll started) and I'll make change
